I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Nine minutes! |
 |
| <O> <O> >O> <O> 4 eyes are scary! D: |
 |
| I just realised Sakurai Takahiro does the Granny's voice. My mind has forever been blown. |
 |
| Funny episode. |
 |
| Arashiyama's investigation and thinking is sure weird.. |
| 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. |

| 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? |
llamaben said: First part was extremely easy to guess, and lacked comedy/quote] What!? I watch a lot of Detective Conan too and I still felt stupid for not getting it! |
 |
| 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. ringoo4 said: Is it just me how thinks ending theme animation is getting better each episodes? 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. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |

Then the painting being square made complete sense, as did the eyes.llamaben said: First part was extremely easy to guess, and lacked comedy What!? I watch a lot of Detective Conan too and I still felt stupid for not getting it! 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! |
| Ha, I just love Hotori's idiocy and how the other maids have to take care of her. The anime has really kept me entertained with each episode. Glad to see the rest of the maids making an appearance though. |

| Kinda funny episode. The mystery case's resolution was really awesome though. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| hm it was a ok episode |
 |
helur said: Zetsubou Sensei moment. Haha. Yeah, that was great. Shaft never stops referencing that in their shows. |
| |
| 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.. |

The blondie actually looked like bishounen XD Didn't get "casting pearls before swine' comment. |
 |
| 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 |
| i wouldn't even accept that gift... lol |
 |
| Mooooo! xD |
  |
| Yeah...Arashiyama's stupidity can only go so far. |
| ^lol easily best episode so far, this one was actually quite good |
| lol Zetsubou-sensei moment in this episode! This is so weird, I just learned about Van Gogh's self-portrait and the "Starry Night" painting not too long ago. |
| Wow, beyond double-posting. A decalogue of posts :D |
| |
| 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. |
noteDhero said: And as long as we continue to watch the show.Yeah...Arashiyama's stupidity can only go so far. |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| 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. |

 |
| Hotori's train of thought is hilarious. How she concluded that the blonde girl must be ghost is completely beyond me. |
| Nice episode. Now we will see if Kon will spice things up. |

| 4 eyes are scary >< |
     |
| I enjoyed it. I agree about the OP and ED being better each time. I'll admit to being genuinely shocked that Hotori got the mystery right, but I guess that's her thing. |
| I'm starting to grow fond of this show. I can't wait to see more of this new character. |
| The OP gets better and better every time I watch it. :D I can't wait to see where this show goes. |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| 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. |
| Glad to see the blonde girl in this episode. The first part about the painting was pretty surprising. I take a lot of time figuring it out. |
| Lol Evolution > Noah's Ark. |
| Interesting episode. Can't believe Hotori solved the mystery though. :) |
| Wow, they really are geniuses for putting that girl (dunno her name) in the opening and now make that "surprise". :O |
| good ep, lol hotori really solved the mystery behind the portrait xD |
     ~Nyaaa~   |
| 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! |
    |
| Oh now this is starting to actually look like SHAFT : D And thus, best episode so far. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| haha.. would love to have that dice painting on my room.. 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.. |
