First part was extremely easy to guess, and lacked comedy... Second part was better, but comedy based on nothing but stupidity just doesn't do it for me.

No, Hotori, you don't lure cats out of alleys by strangling their owners! LOL

Hotori is such a BAKA at times and yet she has a sharp mind when it comes to mysteries. That is a mystery in itself.

Arashiyama's guess is beyond human logic!!! and I can't believe that her guess fit in the case.

Maybe watching Detective Conan has made me more alert, but with the clues Gambler and split into 3, I found the connection to be very easy...

hmm, that may be the case for her as well :P i in particular didn't even attempt to solve the riddle

and i am happy to see that bass-player at the ED was not a 'young boy' as implied o.O

Nice episode, and kon futaba finally introduced ^^
This time we had 2 chapters adapted as well, if it keeps the pace and follows the chapters chronologically(sort of), the story may be a 2 or 3 books adaptation...

I loved the episode. The reason I like this series even though I didn't really laugh during the comedy scene, is probably because all the situation is very realistically presented. This is what slice-of-life genre should be.

Knowing how good SHAFT conti drawings are (in exchange of awkward animation even for my shaftard tinted glasses), I'm really impressed with all the BG arts. Really detailed.

Is it just me how thinks ending theme animation is getting better each episodes?

Alright episode, but the show has yet to amuse me. It's okay and sweet, but not that fun or engaging so far. I hope that the new girl will spice things up.

Yep, you're right. Talking about Shaft and endings, did you notice the altered ending of Arakawa Under the Bridge episode 9 (For instance: instead of Ric and Nina sitting on the bridge together, you see Nina sitting there alone while Ric falls down from i.)? Just curious :D
I wonder what that means anyway.

Well, with 6 paintings total and gambling involved (everything said is important), I instantly thought it had have something to do with a dice... Then the painting being square made complete sense, as did the eyes.

I have to admit that while I didn't find that part entertaining it was well set out by the original mangaka. By that I don't mean that the idea was good, but rather that people who haven't watched detective animes probably wouldn't have much hope of solving it, which was also clearly displayed in the anime.

Zetsubou Sensei moment.

I don't watch Conan, mostly because it seems so overwhelming to catch up, so apparently that prevented me from solving the riddle. However, i thought it was awfully cleaver compared to the usual lame detective episodes from other comedy shows.

I am starting to warm up to this show, it is getting more enjoyable as it goes on. Looking forward to next week!

The anime has really kept me entertained with each episode.
Glad to see the rest of the maids making an appearance though.

I didn't care about the riddle but Hotori's cleverness in solving the riddle amazed me..

Maybe because it's her weird personality that I didn't have confidence in her..

New character added..

The ED is getting more eargasmic everytime I hear it..

I liked this episode a lot more than the previous ones.

I wouldn't have been able to solve the first half's mystery if my life depended on it though, I was so certain it was going to be some sort of metaphor for wearing glasses!

I will never get tired of this OP and ED

That part with the blond girl was funny he looked a bit like a boy but to mistake her for a young boy.
Just makes you wonder where Hotori's mind is, since she does have her smart moments.

I hope the new girl will be able to add something besides, "Look at how stupid you are." I get that Arashiyama's the main character, but she doesn't have to be the butt of every joke.

Ok yes the op and Ed are fun but i felt like it made a step back with this episode. the second episode seemed more amusing to me.
The puzzle thing wasn't bad but not great ether. The incident with the cat was just boring. Their whole conversation wasn't remotely funny or interesting.
It started growing on me in the last episode so i hope it can do better than this episode.
It wasn't horrible but not really good ether.

I... still don't know why I am watching this. XD

It was nice to see the blonde girl from the ending introduced, but then it was defeated by bringing in that ugly friend again. Whyyyy? I can't believe Hotori thought she was a he, though. People in anime make that mistake all the time. How can they seriously not tell a girl from a guy and vice versa? Anyways, I'm really counting on the blonde character. None of the other characters really add much to the show, so I'm hoping she's a more practical/normal character.

Oh yeah, and what the heck happened to Sanada? He didn't even make an appearance!

WTH!! Hotori actually solved the mystery?! That's just plain unbelievable..

woot!! finally Kon has appeared in the show, hope to see her in her main uniform soon.. X3

lol, so that's why I'm having a weird feeling watching the ED in this episode, haven't noticed earlier that they improve the ED bit by bit every episode until now..
