Hmm, I actually kinda like this new OP song.

This is pretty much the beginning of the second half of this show in terms of storytelling. Twenty Faces got arrested but Hanasaki is in a bad mental state. Looks like we got a case involving illegal photos being taken of celebrities. I think the main problem of the story is about Hanasaki though considering what he had been through.

It was decent I guess.

Don't really have much to say, Hanasaki is still trying to pick himself up. Kobayashi shows him that he still enjoys case solving and asks him to come back but Hanasaki refuses saying he hasn't redeemed himself yet.

I liked the old OP more though.

Twenty Faces does some foreshadowing at the end as well.

Boring, I was half asleep during most of it. I don't think anything eventful happened, other than a brief 20 Faces appearance at the end.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Honestly, I don't know why Inoue or Ohtomo can't forgive Hanasaki. Sure, I hated how he acted due to his foolishness but come on, this kind of attitude (torturing him by making it out like they do not care about him) is really unsatisfying. Kobayashi being himself, and somehow acting weird is the best part of show, aside from Hanasaki smiling and joking like normal, albeit only with Kobayashi. I really dislike Inoue/Ohtomo this episode.

Hanasaki suffered from manipulation and dropped some hurtful words and now he's under so much stress he's having attacks....yet they can't forgive him? Why? He looks sorry enough, what more do they want? I also couldn't understand it because I know they care about Hanasaki obviously but is ignoring him, I especially hated how Ohtomo said he could come but he haven't forgiven him after all. It's just distasteful for me. Kobayashi should say something, I think, cause I'm sure he knows how painful it is to do something awful without meaning it and could't forgiven for it. I dislike that attitude, if you don't plan on forgiving him then don't talk to him again. It's simple, just get off his mind..he's stressed damn it. Oh gosh, I love Hanasaki so much.

Okay, on to what I like this episode. The mystery case this ep is actually really fun to watch, not to mention we have Hanasaki-Kobayashi duo again at it, I missed that so much. Hanasaki joking feels so good to see and Kobayashi just being his badass self. A really good episode.

The episode wasn't bad, sort of interesting.
New opening in my opinion is better than previous, but I don't like the new ed.
Kobayashi is the one who shows concern for Hanasaki, in his own way.
Hanasaki tries to act normal, but has attacks.
Inoue and Ohtomo ignores him, maybe they want him to overcome the trauma by himself, to make him stronger?
So, no one has contact with Akechi and Twenty Faces is supposendly caught, but personally I think he's free.
Not bad, maybe soon we'll get to Kobayashi past? Maybe someone who knew him saw the pictrue on site? I can't wait to find out.

New OP and ED is okay. Hanasaki is having trouble after what happened. Kobayashi helping out was nice. Twenty Faces appearing at the end was interesting.

Well finally caught up, I was quite disappointed with how the Hanasaki angst arc turned out but I'm glad the action of the previous episode made up for it. This episode was okay, it was neat using the sprinklers to carry the fluorescent paint to catch the invisible man. I know invisibility had been foreshadowed but I wonder how those crooks got their hands on that technology, especially seeing how Inoue's umbrella still couldn't hide everything.

At this stage, I'd say this show is just okay, it didn't live up to it's potential if it did, it would have been amazing. But reaching halfway there, it was still quite enjoyable. I'm still hoping it gets better but I'm happy having watched it and that's nice.

The new OP song isn't as good as the first one. Looks like Kobayashi is starting to develop more emotion which is nice. Seems Hanasaki is still struggling with what he did.

Notice that in the OP, Hanasaki is walking away from the screen but Kobayashi is walking towards it? In the first OP it was the other way around with Kobayashi walking away and Hanasaki walking towards it but in this 2nd OP it is reversed so that's pretty interesting.

I'm wondering what Hanasaki is thinking of right now with his future. And where is Akechi?

Good episode. Im' kinda sad for Hanasaki but I understand Inoue and Ohtomo's behaviour. Hanasaki was manipulated but he did bad things and put them in danger. He was one of them so they can't forgive him that easily, or maybe they want him to grow stronger.
But I really like how Kobayashi doesn't care about what happened. I hope Hanasaki will be back to his adrenaline junkie form.
New opening and ending are good, lol they've switched the singers.

Visuals ruined the opening song tbh, it didn't really fit. They could have improved the visuals a bit more than recycling some scenes from the first opening

I think it's because the last arc was so frustrating lol personally I find the first 6 episodes very enjoyable and now this one finally has the cheerful moments.

I see. I didn't enjoy the first few episodes all that much, actually. I suppose I kinda like where the current plot is going? I'm not sure.

In my opinion, the first few episodes had great ideas but didn't translate it to the audience well enough. The Sewer arc(episodes 4 and 5) are easily the best so far and I wish the show would have more of that quality again.

reusing of animation in op and lazy made ed personally ruins my mood. But I think this lynch shot case was pretty enjoyable. Especially because Hanasaki briefly returned and did a real job as detective.

Kinda absurd to see sickening ohtomo and his partner making tea with laboratory's beaker glass .-.
We did this every day that summer. There wasn’t a day we missed.

At least 2 Ohtomo devices used for crime now. This dude not very trust worthy at all.

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes the voice actor's voice's emotions in this show do not match the expressions on the face intensely enough or sometimes not at all? Like different characters. Sometimes it freaks me out.
