Sounds like Milverton became a common enemy for both Holmes & Moriarty. I remembered that story, or more like I had fragments coming back to memory but can't exactly figure out if it was part of an original book or something else.

Milverton has quite the enemies, I gotta say. I'm curious to see how Milverton does things from now on, and also what Will is going to do. I can't wait to see Will plotting something again and to see Milvertons face full of fear.

I do want to see Will but I miss those episodes where Will and Sherlock both appeared at the same time, seeing them both solve cases, or just Sherlock being tried by Will. I hope that they somehow team up for this one, that'd be the team of the century :)

Sherlock's reaction to John's marriage is the same as Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr.
It would be funny going forward if we see Sherlock get more possessive of John like the movie too.

This episode was interesting with the deductions and how well Sherlock can just perceive people by one glance at their postural behavior.

Also now both Sherlock and Moriarty are on Milverton's ass, man's messing with two hornet nests at the same time.

I’ve noticed myself starting to fade on this anime and this episode didn’t help change my mond very much.

The case wasn’t very interesting and Mary being blackmailed by Milverton saying he will break up her wedding makes very little sense. Was this supposed to mean he has information that would make John not want to marry her?

Either way, it felt like a very shoe-horned way to get Holmes to go after Milverton too.

At last Mary has appeared! I have always liked all versions of her in the Sherlock Holmes franchise (except for Elementary as I haven't watched it yet) and I will probably like this one as well.

At first, I thought they skipped the whole "The Sign of the Four" case, and went straight to announcing John and Mary's marriage. But, no! They just rearranged it to give Milverton a chance to appear.

This condensed a whole novel into an episode that's not even 25 minutes. So, the pacing felt so off to me.

Small was so cartoonish when he threw the treasure.

Idk why Milverton dare to challenged Sherlock via John's marriage situations. I thought it was all about him and Moriarty. There's no pov of him about this episode, either before which stating his interest over Sherlock (or am i forget something?). But, its completely wrong.

Yeah, i remember him spying an eye on Sherlock when reaching the end status of Jack the Ripper chapter. Now, its make more clear now. What a madlad, truly a worthy villain on these last campaign, for me, and for them. But, here it was, the plot. Its forced the two opposite sides, to cooperating with each other, together, taking down the king of blackmailers, Milverton. How convenient. Interesting to see whats setup they got before the main course. So, yeah, that's it!

About this episode in general was okay. A bit too simple for Sherlock case standard, even i don't pay much sweat figuring out whats goin on. But, on Milverton case, its different. So, yeah, an alright setting for the main act....

This was a great adaptation of The Sign of the Four, one of the best Holmes stories penned by Conan Doyle to this date. Best of all, they didn't decide to ham-fist in any dumb link to an evil villain that interrupted the pacing or distracted from the story -till the end (which I really hated). However I like the fact that they respected the original Holmes story enough to avoid padding it with useless references and other BS this series has stuffed into the Holmes IP lately. This was a straightforward Holmes adaptation and probably my favourite episode so far this season.

there is just one plot hole due to the ending bit. If Holmes already knows about Milverton and his reputation, how has he remained such a mysterious figure for Moriarty - who should already know far more due to his extensive connections and ability to operate outside the law. Moriarty should have been all over Milverton from the very start if he had such a prestigious reputation.

On a side note, I'd be pretty hyped to see an anime adaptation of Holme's most famous adventure: the Hound of the Baskervilles. Make it a 2-parter and It'd easily become my favourite arc from this entire franchise. Manga readers I'm assuming you'd probably know if one is coming up some time soon?

At first, I thought this anime is gonna be another "Kabukichou Sherlock" (which I dropped after 3 episode), and I couldn't be more wrong. This adaption is interesting and It has its moments of suspense and thrill.

While it was good to get some more typical Sherlock action, this episode is just another instance of how utterly disjointed this second season has been, completely disrupting the momentum the "Lord of Crime" stuff was building after Whiteley's death last week to bring us what essentially amounts to a side story that does nothing to keep things moving besides a tacked-on connection to Milverton. And speaking of that connection, if Sherlock is aware of Milverton as a prominent figure in London's criminal underground, how was Moriarty's group unaware of him until recently when they have a lot more connections in that area?

Seriously, introducing Milverton was one of the dumbest choices this season made, not as dumb as James Bonde or the blatant Two-Face rip-off arc we just got, but not far off.

The pacing here felt like it should have been a 2 episode arc, but I guess it's leading into something with Milverton so perhaps they wanted to get to that in time for season finale stuff.

Didn't Sherlock and John meet Irene after John got married and moved out? And Mycroft: John was supposed to meet him way later. I can't understand why they'd change so much of the order of events. Keeping the original order would have made this feel more like a story from the original villain's POV.

I do find this anime interesting, but this season, the story has been quite weak. The thrill of season 1 is completely absent here.

"A Scandal in Bohemia" (the story where Irene first appears) has been released after "The Sign of the Four". However, The events in "A Scandal in Bohemia" take place before the events in "The Sign of the Four". The same with the stories where Mycroft Holmes first appears. Also, "The Final Problem" (where Holmes meets James Moriarty for the first time) takes place after "The Sign of the Four".

They didn't change the order much except for James Moriarty first appearance. But then again, It's an original anime that revolves around James Moriarty instead of Sherlock Holmes, so I don't mind it.

I just looked it up on Wiki and the book itself. So, the date given in the text says "The Sign of the Four" takes place after "The Scandal in Bohemia", but according to the second and third paragraphs of "A Scandal in Bohemia", Watson has moved out and is living with his wife, and working as a doctor again. He meets Sherlock one day on his way back from work, which is when the Irene's story takes place. So, that should mean he's already met Mary before Irene. Unless he had another wife before Mary.
This is confusing me! (ไธ€ใ€‚ไธ€;;๏ผ‰

With Mycroft, they changed too much. He is no longer the same character. I really wanted to see Sherlock having conversations similar to "The Greek Interpreter".

"The Final Problem", hopefully, is the final arc and not just a single episode. And, I hope Moriarty doesn't pull an "Empty House" just to keep the story longer.

I have not read the spoilers, but Moriarty doesn't die? Seriously? It was the thought that we were heading in that direction that had made me enjoy the story. I wanted to see what would drive the Moriarty here to make him want to kill Sherlock so much!
Because of the amazing season 1, I want to see where this was heading, but it's starting to feel more and more like an action shounen anime.

If you don't read the spoilers, that's fine. But remember there are three men called "James Moriarty." This is the cover for Chapter 55, the Final Problem, last act. And we're currently on chapter 59, for the timeskip.
I don't think the anime will reach the timeskip, not enough episodes. Besides I mentioned this before, but those second OP lyrics, Twisted Hearts, if the first OP - Dying Wish- seemed Wiliam's fatalistic POV about his chosen fate, are obviously Sherlock's POV toward him and wouldn't make sense not to end it in that arc.

Oh, if it's the remaining two Moriarties, I'd be fine, I guess. I do know that Sebastian Moran appears only after Moriarty is gone. So, we know he never stops being faithful to Moriarty. It wouldn't be odd if the remaining two brothers still did their Lord of Crime thing.

That was a nice adaptation of The Sign Of The Four and it perfectly connected Holmes to Milverton... which means that Milverton has now made an enemy of Moriarty ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ Sherlock. If he wasn't screwed before, he definitely is now.

I like where this is heading - Sherlock & Moriarty have a common enemy now and one that is pretty formidable. It looks like we headed for a little team up and that would be so freakin' awesome. I could also be really wrong about that though haha

Buen episodio, volvio Sherlock a escena con un interesante caso a peticion de la novia de Watson, lastima que son era un pantalla para quedarse con el tesero ya que la estaba siendo chatajeanda por el ¨Rey de los chantajes¨ Charles Augustus Milverton, ahora son Moriarty y (tal vez) Sherlock los que van tras el

Good episode, Sherlock returned to the scene with an interesting case at the request of Watson's girlfriend, it's a shame they were a cover to obtain the treasure, since she was being blackmailed by the "King of Blackmail" Charles Augustus Milverton, now Moriarty and ( maybe) Sherlock are going to go after him
