Can't wait any longer so off to the cat site I go.

It's amazing how each episode manages to surpass the previous one.

Once again, I noticed the transparent goose feather quill artifact appearing in this episode.

So all this chaos was caused by the witch sect (a group of Beyonders from the Witch Path), Lanevus, and the Aurora Order?

Lanevus’s actions—using the woman (Miss Megose) as a medium so that an evil entity could be born physically—were utterly vile and cruel. I can’t get out of my head how Miss Megose pulled out her hair until it fell out, tore at her cheeks until skin and flesh peeled away, then her stomach swelled, and her form turned into a monster. That scene was truly horrifying.

I’m also suspicious of Captain Dunn Smith. Whether he was being controlled or not, his actions—giving Kenley the mirror artifact which led to Kenley’s death, and then in this episode hearing whispers when the transparent goose feather quill artifact fell, urging him to take the ashes of Saint Selena’s relic—seem to smooth the way for the birth of that evil entity.

Isn't this quite rush?

Another perfectly paced episode. They really captured the atmosphere and tension. You can feel it. Captain Dunn is a Goat. What a leader he is. Cannot but feel bad for Megoose though. She was just manipulated and used by Lanevus. And that fking from feather. What is he writing? Damm what a Cliffhanger

rly building up these last episodes cant wait to see whats next, the best bet im guessing is Mr Asik since he's a seq 2 and the strongest ally klein has, but id like to see Klein doing his best, the crafted suncharms will def play into it im sure.


im just confused about derrick "the sun" we had him join the fog in a post credits scene without any chronological reference and without further explanation, to the point i went back several times to make sure i didnt miss an ep 🫠

this anime is very good

"The room is flooded with crimson light. Dunn Smith..." What, is the magical quill now also setting the room's lighting? By the way, why are they walking in the warp under a red moon and not noticing it at all?

And so dude is dead... Well, I guess they won't grieve too long over this third-rate character. Do they change those magical cop office girls often? Because she clearly hasn't gotten used to the local "staff rotation."

So the mirror from the last episode had no backlash? A normal artifact (sarcasm), just kill everyone who looks into it without any restrictions. Honestly, I don't see any downsides to handing it to some agile guy to run around one-shotting everyone left and right.

They show some random guy with glasses on a chain who stands in style during the rewind, looking at the camera, and then cinematically evaporates into thin air. Oh, he does the same thing again, and again, and now, for some reason, looking at the camera, he twirls a sealed letter on his finger, smiling the whole time like he's had a stroke. Definitely an incredibly necessary scene so the viewer understands that some random random can twirl letters on his finger, because that'll be super important in future events.

The MC goes into the fog again. Divines again. "Why is the captain acting strange?" The fog has no answer, because the question is phrased idiotically. Couldn't he assume that such behavior is normal for the captain, so the fog doesn't think anything strange is happening? He could've just asked straight up, "Is the captain a cannibal?"

So, the guy sits at the desk to write a letter, writes it, decides to immediately go into the fog, sits there for 30 seconds, and then the professor's skeleton wakes him up with a response to the letter the MC just wrote? Did he send it by email or what? The MC sits reading the letter under a dreary, supposedly scary visual sequence, but it turns out he fell asleep while reading it, and all those scares were just a dream.

Search at the grinning idiot's house. Not even 10 minutes into the episode, and they finally name him so I can connect this grinning fool to the plot. Again, they find and read a dreary letter, and again a scary visual sequence in the background. So, the main villain just decided to spill all his plans in a letter? Powerful. What jerky animation here—it's brutal, painful to watch. The glasses guy looks at the camera and grins again.

So, they arrive by carriage, go up in the elevator to the police station foyer, even though we've seen three times before that they descend to the same foyer by elevator, and a pregnant lady just walks in through the door? Did she teleport to the adjacent office, or were the guys riding carriages underground? Or does their office just shift in space, and sometimes you descend to it, sometimes ascend? Or did the director, for the sake of flair, invent some underground crap-city that wasn't in the book at all, and now he doesn't know what to do with it?

The pregnant woman, who just randomly appeared in their magical office—where no outsiders have ever entered in the whole anime—only raises suspicion when the MC scans her with his Sharingan. Okay. They totally forgot about the guy assigned to watch her, died, and decided not to monitor her anymore.

The MC recalls two lines of the emperor's words from one of the pages that hit exactly on point with his current situation. Why is the MC now running through an interior indistinguishable from his house? Wasn't their office in the last episode completely different, in dark tones with all those wall lamps? By the way, didn't he get super agility and speed from the clown potion in previous episodes? Why is he running at normal human speed now, clearly out of breath?

The captain sends a message via Morse code using an electric telegraph and wired headphones. Mmm, steampunk. Everyone scatters, everyone runs, everyone's terrified. The lady's about to go nuts and everyone will die in agony! Blood, death, horrors. The captain: "Oh, MC, a letter came for you, let me tell you something." Oh, the captain's not a horrible cannibal after all, just a sentimental fool. Alright.

The girl turns into a quack-beast. End of episode.

Watching this episode was so painfully boring. It's like 35 minutes, but in reality, nothing much happened. The detective part is cobbled together by the chef of detectives. They just went into the house, the MC divined the letter, the letter explained everything, and the bomb just came to their office on its own.

Is all of Season 1 the whole first book “Clown” or does it venture into the second book “Faceless”?
