| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was a huge improvement from the dull first case. Although the culprit was easy to guess, I still think everything else was planned out well. It was pretty obvious that it was that guy when he offered to go on the boat and rejected Kindaichi's offer to accompany him . Anyhow, I really liked that grey idea of saving a bunch of people while sacrificing one vs not sacrificing and risking everyone's lives. It was pretty well encorporated albeit not touched on. |
| So Touno is the culprit and he killed himself in the end lol. |

| RIP those people who died for nothing So what happened to the membership prize? |
"Signature removed"   |
| So they didn't mention the death of Miyuki's cousin? Like is Miyuki not heart broken or sad about this, they kinda just gloss over it. |

| Pretty ruthless of that old guy to push away the girl. You already got one foot in the grave old man so might as well have given her your spot on the boat. That whole situation is pretty messed up though so I can see why the survivor wouldn't be charged with a crime. |

| Damn was that incest subplot at the end really needed? apart from that I'd say it was a pretty solid case, better than the first in terms of actual mystery but the trick on the first one was better |
| A good - albeit grotesque in the way the suspects were portrayed here - case in the manga that was so poorly adapted. Little did I remember how bad that whole slasher narrative was in the anime. Saying it was rushed would be the understatement of the century: it was like fast forwarding through the manga pages without really taking the time to let the events, the clues or the emotional moments grow on you. It would be the equivalent of glueing some of the iconic panels together, then dubbing over them, and calling it a day. If the anime staff really wanted to fit this '10-chapter detective arc' into a 'three-episode format', then they had to rewrite some of it in order for the case to feel 'natural' at best. Again, what a pity! The twists and turns were quite compelling in the original story: even the little, smaller deductions had this 'haha' moment quality to them. Here, the process felt so mindless it still hurts to this day. Regarding the 'incest' subplot, that was certainly one final twist the narrative did not need: after expanding the culprit's motive, it felt a bit distasteful to end their story on that specific note. It is the kind of 'shock factor over substance' that Kindaichi as a series has been guilty of from the start. |
| Even Miyuki's cousin got killed. lol I agree this feels a bit rushed, but this was an interesting case. |
