It’s amazing to see the new Op and ED visuals, I knew we’d be seeing this BSD tradition again and I’ve been fairly hyped for it.

Perfect crime remover v the perfect detective for all rational crimes, it was going in line for the antagonist party this episode. But that’s probably only just because Rampo-san didn’t come across a situation like this before. I don’t know how much of it was planned but I think he figured he’d hit the nail with the taxi spot idea, criminals need to craft the best escape route too after all. 

It’s nice to see Rampo-Dan’s biggest fan too, lol. 

Can’t wait for the whole breakdown next episode!

Hmm looks like now they finished the origin act they changed the visual to bring in the main cast once more much appreciated. Ah yes, the sewer chase that ended with the girl using the grenade. Thats not something you'll see every day a mascot headbutting someone. I wish i had 20 mil to just carelessly throw around lol. Rampo as ever is damm impressive with his deduction. The perfect crime though was quite the curious ability. Looking forward to seeing how Ramp unravels the mystery and get out of his current predicament.

These episodes are quite fun. A little bit annoying initially during the setup phase due to childish humor but deduction phase is awesome because everything he says makes sense and it's too big of a stretch for the imagination to fill in other holes in the story. There are some plot conveniences like in this episode where he just happens to run into the guy and just happens to force himself into the car while in reality someone would just told him to fuck off and threw him on the ground. All in all, fun series so far.

Damn this episode was amusing, looks like Ranpo has another case to solve, this time someone who allegedly faked their own death. 

I am sure Ranpo has it figured out already since he got in the car with the culprit, this is gonna be interesting, since the culprit is an ability user as well.

Love the new visuals for the OP. 

The episode also included the right amount of flashback imagery to refresh my memory as to what happened last season. 

Laughed out load when Poe yelled 'Karl bit me!'.  What a cutie 🥰

Every episode of this new season hit so hard. The cool ability of the evidence eraser, the pressure when Rampo was talking to the guy in the car. Also the sheer shock in Rampo's face when he could not solve the case.

I felt like they should have had one less Ranpo flashback episode and had a recap episode before this one. I forgot Kunikida was in jail.

It was an okay episode.

ranpo being goofy as ever, strolling through prison and running around the mall in a bear costume without anyone questioning, somehow. also, ticking the police officer at the scene of the crime with a dead body just lying there lmao.

ranpo is only one of two characters i actually like in this show so i won't question it.

My original response: this sucks,.... i used to like this anime.

Edited for snowflake era: I find it very difficult to understand the correlation to the previous seasons and now a flashback to the very beginning however we still keep jumping from other timelines? i apologize if i hurt your feeling and your insults to my misundererstanding are welcomed.

 This all ties in the bigger storyline. The beauty of the anime is that a lot of bread crumbs are dropped leading to a bigger reveal.

I can't get enough of this anime. It's all about metaphors and similes and deeper meaning behind the context of the story. If you haven't watched Dead Apple I advise you to. If you haven't watched it recently but remember the story from start to finish just watch the last 3 minutes as the song plays in the background. Try to piece the entire story together and you'll come to a couple of conclusions. This has to be the most action packed mystery anime I've ever watched. Should definitely have the Mystery theme added to it. Being objective just so happens to be the strongest skill in this "mystery" anime. The more objective you are the stronger your conclusive evidence will be.

incredible episode as since the beginning the anime finally looks at this incredible character who is Ranpo. With in this episode 4 the return to the present and with a new antagonist is the return of Poe. Funny episode is with a lot of twists, I love it!!!

That new ability is pretty broken to the point where Ranpo can't even figure it out who the murderer is, I guess he'll somehow find new evidences about this case.

Mushitaro being stuck in a car with Ranpo because our boy is just too lazy to walk :D. Ranpo is really the star of this season it seems, not that I mind. the episode was a bit slower though, but it had its fun moments.

It was a bit of a slow start, but it developed into a great episode. I love how this season is focusing more on the side characters and teaching us more about the history of the detective agency. The mysteries and their details are well laid out in every episode and it all has its own way of capturing the viewer and making them curious about the next episode. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I'm getting a bit impatient and look forward to seeing Dazai and the others again, but I'm enjoying this just as much.
I sometimes forget to finish my sentences.

The way this show really toys with you being like "oh yeah, rampo gave up" and then rampo comes back with "Jokes on you, I'm literally invincible. Cope." it's repetitive but I'm never really bored of it. It's predictable but it doesn't prevent the show from making rampo still appear as weak. Bonus point : Karl was there.

Great ep, after Ranpo's backstory we're up to more Ranpo great moments, it was hilarious when he ended up in the car of the culprit, even if this guy has a power to hide the proofs he's still outpowering him without a real power, Ranpo is way too strong xD

well well return to present time

looks like edogawa got himself into yet another mess.

and some upstart thinks he can evade ranpo, but he doesnt know that u can run but u cant hide.

also, fyodor being as mysterious as ever. Tryin out the good ol get arrested method.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.

That bear costume and the way Ranpo hugged the police officer were damn cute.
The ending clip with everyone just doing their everyday life in the office was also wholesome. Ranpo and Dazai having chibi faces.

Jesus… Bones have put SO MANY spoilers in the Opening! It’s actually ridiculous. After a few episodes I wouldn’t be surprised if anime-only’s could work out who the main villain of this arc is.

Do Bones get anything right?!
