It was nice to see Odasaku again. I didn't expect that he and Fukuzawa had met and been on the same case.

And welcome back, Edogawa Ranpo! It's not good to waste food especially when you're being treated :(

Sucks how the episode's in black and white but the flashbacks are in colour,
wondering how they will fit everything up to the casino arc since they animated untold origins hopefully they don’t remove that much scenes at least
I was wondering the black/white choice aswell until they showed the coloured scenes, now I am certain this is on purpose by the art director.

If my hunch is correct (no spoilers), you'll find out why they did this in next weeks episode.

Origin Story is actually a pretty short story (LN3 is split into two stories), I think it will be finished up in the next episode.

the only thing i cared about was that, first episode is a prequel, not a sequel.
why season 4?

all seasons started with flashback episodes lol

well, I find it interesting that they're adapting the LN a little as well because I'm too lazy to read the LN.

Ranpo being my favourite character from the previous seasons this was an absolute treat. Nice to get down to basic detective work and I thought the art style was a good choice too. The OP implied even more Ranpo and I can't wait for the next episode.

We're still following the flashback premiere tradition it seems, with "original" light novel content
I haven't read the manga or the LN at all. Was the first episode of S4 based on the LN?
I think so. I don't read the LN either

yes~ every season has a bit of the novels storytelling. S1 had a nod to Dazai's Entrance Exam up to/during the Azure King eps; S2 was the Dark Era, S3 it was Dazai and Chuuya, 15 Years Old. and now the Origins of the Agency. they make this to tie up the whole story together. ^^

the stylised black and white was beautiful great animation, and this is a really good setup for a hopefully incredible backstory arc

Great episode. I really like this character. He wasn't involved a lot in some of the past seasons, so it's great to see him do something for once!

I really like rampo as a character and i'm glad that this season will most likely focus on him and his past

edit: well at least the first few episodes did

The first ep was good, ofc it had to start with a backstory (like the 2 predecessors before it) but the fact that it's the backstory between Ranpo and Fukuzawa, it's a welcoming change for me, but I'm a little conflicted with Oda and how he lived with virtue to never kill anyone (like how he was later in his career in the Port Mafia) but he kills the assistant when he was still young

Seems like a good portion of the beginning is going to be a flashback much like they did before. I almost forgot Ranpo and Yukichi had some sort of unspoken relationship so it's nice to finally see what that's all about.

it was pretty good tbh and I'd love to see more backstory of ranpo and the prez because it's interesting to me, though I do miss atsushi and dazai but eh, whatever.
