| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh man that was good detective story with sad resolution in the end, I felt this monster atmosphere throught all episodes-it added some excitemwnt to this anime. Many people had died in vain, gold now belong to government and dead people can't return .... As a result it was worth watching! |

| IMO yet another underrated anime, this 25 episode show has more potential than it's scores show for users. Like above user said, I also felt Monster anime type feeling in episodes. Ending was quite nice and thrilling. |

| The old cop?! REALLY!!! Never saw that one coming. This gets a solid 8/10 for me. Good stuff here. But poor Miyuki is now alone. Is it just an anime trope that suicide is the answer to when you get caught? |

| Man what a great ride. While I wish there was a bit more clarity to the ending, I respect the lack of it. There's just one thing I can't shake, was it implied that Sanae is Miyuki's real mother? Or is this something I'm just reading too much into? Sorry for tagging everyone, I'm just desperate to talk about this show since it's so overlooked. |
| In the end George directly kills no one (unless my memory is completely shot lol). It is definitely an anime thing to try to paint some of these character's behavior as sympathetic because it was for 'their town.' But, Kimujuku is basically a character itself, pushing these people to do these things. Not really for its benefit though, it's almost like it put a curse on everyone of importance that lived there. Some pretty bad animation ruined some of the more important action scenes and there was some absurdities here and there, but overall I enjoyed the anime. I thought it was an engrossing mystery story with a cast of characters that really grew on me even if most of them are not likable at all. I agree with the post above mine though, there aren't really any strong emotions in this ending. Perhaps it's fitting that it seems to sort of fizzle out as people die one by one, but the 'twists' take the tension away by putting the spotlight on characters that otherwise had such small roles in the story. Is George satisfied with how everything turned out? He doesn't seem like the kind of person that would be, even after all of that, but I for one certainly expected a little more from this ending. But hey, it was a fun ride and they managed to wrap everything up (in a fitting way perhaps, that town is so crazy nothing should surprise me). |

| Truly incredible final episode, the whole mood throughout this finale was great. |
| So it was the cop afterall. I predicted it was either him or the Tonbo guy was the sniper of the Fukajiro since it was obviously an older man, but him being the 2nd guard on the train was a nice surprise. He obviously knew the gold was in the swamp, he should've gotten some diving gear and snuck out at nights to steal some of the gold over time. I was hoping Miyuki and Raccoon would've left with George since they both have nothing much to stay for. Pretty tragic for everyone involved. Overall, the show wasn't bad, though a little long in the tooth. I think it could've been cut it half to make it tighter. 7.5 crime doesn't pay /10 |

| This anime does pretty well in the mystery department. The characters mostly consisting of unpredictable wackjobs made it difficult to get attached to their circumstances though, especially when many of them consciously made their situation worse for the sake of drama. The animation also let it down considerably, even when it tried to look artistic through colour filters or imposition of characters onto a static background. The last episode looked great, but that was probably where most of the budget went. Worth watching if you want to see a complex mystery with a nice soundtrack, but that's the only niche I noticed for it. |

| What a great mystery. So let me get it straight. The police guy informed the Kimujuku people about the gold. Tonokura's wife made the heist plan, which is why she blamed herself for everything at the end and had sympathy for Genzo Araki's kids. The police guy shot George's brother once the train was stopped because he wasn't in on the plan and wouldn't budge. I'm assuming Sanae was brainwashed by Kimujuku people at a young age by Tonokura and Master about the whole Genzo Araki suicide thing. She believed that till the very end. Which is why Tonokura and his wife both felt guilty and took care of them. I wonder why we never saw the other brother of Sanae? Rin's death was tragic and I think George saw himself in him. Both were trying to avenge their brothers. It's like two sides of the same coin. Rin is definitely in my top 3 characters from this anime. And the end was ambiguous as well. Did George came back to Miyuki at the end, assuming from her smiling in the last scene? They definitely left somethings open ended. Till the last episode, I though Genzo Araki committed suicide as told my Sanae. I was taken back a bit once the police guy said he killed him. Can someone confirmed what I have described as the actual plot? Because I'm still not sure if that's how the events really went down. I was mainly confused because according to Sanae, Genzo committed suicide. But since he was kiIIed during the heist, that doesn't make sense because Sanae's family moved to Sendai after the heist, where her father, according to her committed suicide? If anyone can explain the plot, I'll appreciate it. Anyways, George Kodama was an amazing character to watch. His sense of humor and even the voice felt so similar to Joe Yabuki from Tomorrow's Joe. I'm glad I watched this show. Great mystery. So long(: > 12:55 AM, July 16th, 2025 |

| @lonewatcher565 well well well. Looks like I watched the whole show thinking Genzo Araki and George's brother are the same people. No wonder I was confused af the whole time. I read a summary before watching the show that it's about a guy trying to find his brother. Whenever George mentioned finding Genzo Araki in the starting episodes, i kept thinking he's trying to find his brother Araki lmao. And the show doesn't mention George's main purpose of finding his brother until way later. So i guess i was spoiled but didn't realize till the end. Oh man I'm pissed af now. Anyways, I'll miss the vibe of this show. Peace out > 4:24 AM, July 19th 2025. |
