| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well this episode felt awkward. Souji's shirtless with a trap hanging out with him and a detective. The case itself got kinda interesting with the tools that were involved. And oh, it looks like Kuro Tokage along her sadism is back. The episode felt like it was all over the place in a way  |
 |
| The offputting moments when they try to make the show hilarious. It gets annoying to be honest. |
| And the 20 Faces mystery continues~ Was an alright episode but it's always great to see our favorite masochist Black Lizard do her thing lol |
| What was with this episode? Everything was so awkward and it was all over the place. Not only that, they tried way too hard to make it funny by including all of the crappy elements of this show in one episode. So much for an improvement on last week. If anything, this was actually even worse than that episode (which was already pretty crap). |
| "bronze demon, elctric man, metal man" why did she makes some megaman references there? |
| This episode seemed really weird, with Kobayashi in girl clothes again and that Black Lizard person squirting every 10 seconds. Well, maybe it will improve next episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Damn, he even brought a female swimsuit. Pls stop I can't take it.... |
| people say it was weird... i say that if it was to you, then you see akechi's mind as weird. which is not weird to see it like that anyway. |
| Oh man, the theme of this episode, could not have been better considering the current scandal at Konami over the treatment of their employees that comes to downright slavery. Ranpo Kitan yet again strikes close to home. Ill be damned but Komoda might as well be a joke on Konami, especially with Konami's recent shift to gambling industry and their downright criminal treatment of their workers. So while Kobayashi sees Silhouettes Akechi sees puppets, which fits his character perfectly. Its also interesting that we see more of Sherlock influence via treating brain as computer and the concept of mind palace, as quite a bit of episode takes place in Akechi's. Overall return to form after last week's misstep. Very nice to see a psychological insight into how Akechi's mind works compared to Kobayashi's. Of course I bet majority of MAL's goldfishes will even miss the simple fact that a lot of the episode took place in his head, with characters he know providing the answers or clues he knows in the way he would predict them to(fitting the whole puppeteer motif). kataklism said: "bronze demon, elctric man, metal man" why did she makes some megaman references there? No. Reference's to the Akechi cases in the Ranpo's novels. |
 |
| Merely a set-up episode so nothing particularly sucky about it that wasn't the case for previous episodes. I'll take what I can get I suppose. |
 |
| Crazy masochist lady is always a nice sight. |
| Forget the case, I just want Kobayashi in that swimsuit he brought. |

| Maybe nakamura is the original 20 faces |
 |
| "Terrible. Awful. Just die already." Best line. I didn't enjoy too much of this episode... |
| Episode was mediocre.... not good not to bad just meh. This show so far is a roller-coaster - I enjoyed 3 episodes immensely and the rest was just boring. On the other hand imo both op & ed songs are top tier this season - I could even say No.1 ( joint winners) ;) |
| Ok so I wasn't the only one kind of disappointed with this episode |
Kobayashi sure likes to dress up as a girl.  Did she just piss herself?  |

| cause it is so cool to be addicted to coffee, taking pills all the time and to be edgy akechi is a ridiculous character and this show is crappy as well edit: as for the piss, i definitely heard some liquid lol |
 |
Me when i saw that Minami was back.  |
 |
| Seriously.. if they wanted a girl as the MC, then why the hell didn't they just make him/her a girl. Instead it's this weird trap dude who behaves 99% like a girl but is in fact a boy ( -.-) =з That scene in Akechi's mind was quite confusing... so i guess he's pulling thoughts that he would expect as response from the others, if they were as the crime scene. |
| why do people not like minami? she's my favorite character here... not that i can really call her a character considering she's most likely a figment of the imination of akechi and kobayashi. |
| Seriously disappointed with this show; started out good; but now it's just ... pointless.. but i'm curious as to what is causing akechi those headaches... so far this show is .. below average ... |
| Disappointing episode. Sometimes this show is trying way too hard to be funny during some parts. |
  |
| Akechi see's people as Mannequins then hmm could they have faked their deaths? Mannequins of themselves??? |
| Great episode as usual :) |
| first scene was so disturbing !!! |

 |
| im only here for the trap teeter tottering on dropping this lump of shit though |
| Well, this episode was pretty damn garbo. ...but we had plenty of lewd ass Black Lizard with Hikasa Youko's boner inducing voice, so I guess it was werth. |
| Does anyone know the name of the song Akechi always plays? I really like it and was looking for it. |
Reverberate__ said: Sometimes this show is trying way too hard to be funny during some parts. Except that I am pretty sure nothing in this episode was supposed to be funny. Minds of people like Akechi are disturbed and bizarre and are presented in such a way. |
|
| Other then some of the weak ass comedy, i've been enjoying the hell outta this show. It's by no means great but it's entertaining to say the least 3/5 for the episode. |

kurikinton said: Maybe nakamura is the original 20 faces I think that Akechi is the original 20 faces xD |
| the peeing weirdo is back |
 |
| Now I really suspect the cop as the original 20 Faces. Akechi needs to serve his cocaine snorts with a shot of caffeine, eh? And Black Lizard..... what a slutty Masochist. I actually think Akechi enjoys insulting her for her reactions, he knows she likes it. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Sigh, this is still dull as ever. That fucking stupid trap routine's still here, SIGH. At this point in time, I'm just watching this just for the sake of finishing it. Not enjoying it at all. Even the mystery aspect it just plain boring. :/ |
 |
| I think this episode was were great, i mean, FINALLY its about Akechi and not Kobayashi. We get to see Akechi's mind which is pretty awesome already, the case sounds interesting and I wonder if Kobayashi dresses up like a girl for Akechi or just for fun, i really lost it. My only question that remains: WHY DOES NAKAMURA HOLD THIS STOMACH?? does he have unending stomach pains? Is he hiding something there?? Someone please tell me. |
 |
| Always nice to see sado-maso Black Lizard. Looks like we got ourselves another locked-room mystery this season. An alright episode overall, but things just felt all over the place |
 |
| This episode was pretty obvious that the anime is seen by viewers as if we were in the mind of Akechi , even all theatrical scenes , all is what happens in your mind. For me, the twenty faces is the Akechi himself at the opening , in that it shows him looking the twenty faces , the picture changes rapidly, and it is projected in place of himself. |
Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the  |
| So we get to see things from Akechi's standpoint huh ... how people "interrupt" his thought process is interesting and how he tells them to go away :O Hopefully this arc's murder mystery will be good ... locked room murders are always fun :P More fanservice with the dress and a swimsuit now too ... not to mention them gambling with chocolates XD More and more Twenty Faces impersonators are appearing ... dang lol. Looks like Kagami really started a trend there o_O |
| Well it was an ok episode, but i expected a lot more from this anime. Hopefully in the episodes remaining we will get an improvement. I love akechi character and I like the concept of how "the specials" (kobayashi and akechi) sees people. |
KeyZero said: kurikinton said: Maybe nakamura is the original 20 faces I think that Akechi is the original 20 faces xD I think he from Akechi's flashback is the real twenty faces. |
| The art is nice, very beautiful. Everything else is disappointing =/ |
| Looks like Akechi is a lonely kid, who had a traumatic experience with one of the 20 faces. His medical addiction is to stop his pain or something. What a poor soul :'( |
