I was thinking that Chitanda would solve the mystery this time, but that's not how it happened...

Nice ending with Fuyumi making an appearance. This is interesting. I'll say it now, Hongou made a complicated mystery. I'm expecting the answer to be a good one since everyone doubts her.

Chitanda was a bit annoying this episode with how useless she was. I'm surprised Satoshi is a mystery fan, but I like it.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Seems like this film mystery is going to go on for a while. It'd be more expedient just to get a new member at this rate.

Can't wait to see how the mystery gets resolved. I'm too lazy to come up with own version, but 1 detail no one seems to talk about is the freaking severed hand and the key near it. I was left with the impression someone chopped it off with a single strike. It also seems like the victim was trying to open the door when the attack happened. Don't think any of the girls in the movie could attack like that. So, it was likely a guy with a sword or an axe. How did they get in the room and why lock the door is I can't think of. Maybe they hid somewhere (someone else)?

Drunk Chitanda though :D

Really didn't enjoy this episode tbh. Found it pretty boring up until like the end when Oreki started to give his explanation as to why they didn't go through the window, but that was like 3 minutes before the episode ended

My smooth brain has been struggling to keep up with the past two episodes. So, Chitanda was asked (or perhaps manipulated?) to help out with a student film drags her friends into it. The Irisu lady was presumably the one typing at the start of E8 and the user with the name L was probably Chitanda. E8 then continues with a conversation between the bros about being extraordinary vs. being ordinary. So, it makes sense that Oreki wants to be ordinary being the energy conservationist he is.

Then there is the film screening. I don't quite understand what sort of purpose or metaphorical meaning it is supposed to have. The film is an unfinished murder mystery. I suppose it is not unlike the mystery aspect of Hyouka, with characters having mysteries of their own. Especially with Chitanda. Think back on the episode where they went to Chitanda's mansion. It's quite odd that she basically lives by herself in a giant mansion. She's also very secretive about herself and her true motives besides curiosity is unknown. I don't think it'd be weird if curiosity really is what makes her tick. But, as Oreki suggested with the beckoning flower metaphor in the hot spring episode, the said curiosity could be a layer of facade.

Then there is the fact that she is active on a school chat room that none of the other three are. There's a few questions I have regarding the situation. Firstly, why was she so eager to help out? Secondly, she also didn't seem all too familiar in typing in the chat room. As for the latter, we can only assume that she had just began to use the private chat room. Still, there's not much that explains why she wanted to help out Irisu. Sure, they were acquainted with each other, but there's nothing so far that suggests she's the type of person to just help out just because, though.

Then, there's the whiskey chocolate in E9. She literally ate it until she passed out? Which I don't think is even possible because not much liquor actually goes in the chocolates. She was also folding every single wrapper neatly in the exact same way. It is possible that she is actually nervous about the mystery rather than the self proclaimed "I wasn't sure if I liked it so I kept eating." Judging from how she supposedly didn't enjoy mysteries despite being so curious, perhaps she is more afraid of the unknown more than anything. In the final episode of the Hyouka arc, we learned that she only cried because her uncle talked about being eaten alive (the graphics accompanying that was real freaky too). However, recall the episode on the hanging man. She was not scared of that at all (like, I don't think you could physically be calmer).

So, in conclusion, I cannot even begin to fathom what is going on with her.
