| I'm happy that they separated. The FL is such a toxic person. Also, one season is more than enough of this BOREDOM. |

Outrightly, one of the most boring anime I've ever seen. What a snoozefest.
| @Cestlavie_ ABSOLUTELY! It's beyond me how this anime got a season two announcement. |
|
| This was the best episode by far, finally moving the plot forward lol. But yeah the anime was boring like 70% of the episodes. The direction and animation was superb but too SLOW. |

| what the fuck with this ending !! the show is really boring and ended with weird episode |
| I went onto Crunchyroll thinking episode 11 was up, just to realize episode 10 was the last episode what the heck how was that supposed to be the ending of a season? |
| Shoushimin was often punishingly boring and felt like a bait and switch from the premise that promised solving mysteries but actually they're just trying to figure out who ate a spicy sweet. The last few episodes were actually pretty decent though and before I would've rather had teeth pulled before watching a second season, but now that Osanai's been revealed as a total sociopath and they've broken off their friendship I'm kind of curious what will happen in season 2. 5/10 |
| I only have 1 complaint for this show: the sudden change from flip phones to smartphones for the last arc of this season. Considering the time period this was supposedly set in, it made absolutely no sense at all and was so abrupt that I have to wonder if it was because the animators have no idea what flip phones look like (e.g. the different screens and functionalities of flip phones). Other than that, I liked this. the VA for Osanai was great and felt like it fit quite well with her character. Feels like there was some pacing issue though with this last episode. It seems like the time management was not done well and they ended up with that half episode of extra time that they decided to use to setup the story of season 2 but the setup felt rushed... In my opinion, they could have slowed down a little with the pacing of the setup for season 2... |
| Even though it makes sense that Osanai wanted to keep their relationship for the sake of getting that girl in jail, it was such a lame conclusion to the overarching struggle of becoming ordinary. Especially on Kabato's side because he was unaware yet still continued this relationship. There was no gradual realization that they can't escape being their unordinary selves, just a sudden revelation at the very end. I was also expecting Kobato to try to convince Osanai of maintaining their relationship when he first says that their relationship wasn't meaningless even if the original 'contract' was no longer effective. But Osanai just said "Nope" and he went along with it. I do think that season 2 will be more interesting because now they're forced to be normal. But if they start throwing the main characters back into the detective drama from episode 1 instead of easing into it, it will be a drop from me. |
| Nooooooo they broke up?! I mean I guess Osanai has a point about them only being able to be normal without each other, since immediately after terminating their relationship both Kobato and Osanai got a peak into what being normal actually is (Kobato getting asked out and Osanai hanging out with a classmate after school) Judging by that van from the kidnapping being set ablaze at the end of the episode tho, Imma assume their new normality will be short lived... But more importantly WDYM THIS WAS THE LAST EPISODE???? And here I was expecting 2 more episodes!! I need a season 2 of this asap!!!! |

This episode ties in the overall theme of the show and what it's like to be "ordinary". Between eating parfait and bonding, Osani and Kobato went through a lot this season imo. Didn't look that way at first on paper but the two made a lot of memories together.
Osani standing in the waters with her dress show how carefree she is.
It's an interesting finale imo as despite no real mystery, we got to see the show tie up from where it started.
Season 2 announced, April 2025

| @Stark700 Yaaaay! This is wonderful news!! Cannot wait for April of next year!! |

| this anime is a genius way of sleep propaganda. one of the best sleep ads I ever seen. ...... boring shit. 3/10 |
| Wow, we really leaped from solving small mysteries to solving a kidnapping case and that too by Highschool girls??? And where did this wicked Osanai come from???? I mean she straight up planned a crime to get her middle school bullies arrested????? I don’t understand why they both had to part ways??? Was she only using him for her own means all this time???? This was a weird episode. So many new characters showing up out of the blue in the end. Honestly, though, it got me a little bit excited for Season 2 to see how everything’s gonna unfold. |

| Relatively boring series, but the animation was actually quite fluid. Good production quality. |
| I think anybody who has a slightly longer attention span than the average when it comes to gen Z or somebody into detective novels would have found this show to be simply amazing. But alas that's not the norm when it comes to MAL users so a 7.32 sounds about right. |
 |
| bruh i wasn't able to dodge this show. a solid bait/10 </3 |
Not being shonen isn't the problem. It was just quite simply boring. |

@basspig if you thought it was boring, this kind of show is not for you. Because personally, it was interesting all through out for me.
| @saikyozero It was like a poor knockoff of Hyouka, which to me was more engaging. This one wasn't that well written. |
It's rated 7.32 lol the stats say I'm not the outlier, the people that liked it the most will obviously voice their opinions strongly on the forums |
saikyozero said: @Cestlavie_ seeing one of your favorites is NGNL, I can confirm it is an attention span problem. That anime is a roller coaster. I like monogatari, hyouka and violet Evergarden. This anime was just boring to me it's really as simple as that. |
saikyozero said: @Cestlavie_ 7.32 is pretty average, I might even say it's above average score. So yeah, people enjoyed it. The noisy ones are usually the ones posting everywhere because they want validation, like scores. LMAO 7.32 is low for this site lol, anything below 7.5 really that came out after 2020 is quite mediocre, so let's not pretend it's a good score. Validation? I just said stuff was freaking boring. u guys keep tagging me like I committed a crime. |

@basspig there you go. You were just waiting for someone to disagree to compare it to the superior one. What a lame way of elaboration.
| @saikyozero sounds to me like you're just looking for an argument. Would this be the five minute argument or the full half hour? |
Reply to saikyozero
@basspig whatever do you mean by that? Is that something you do? Sounds petty
| @saikyozero I don't understand your intent. Seems picayune of you to even make such a comment initially. |
