Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri Episode 10 Discussion

They really be pushing this whole "murderous Ron" thing, without any consequences so far. How many incidents do you need to see before you do something about it? Not having him on the scene. Looking like we need to see somebody actually kill themselves for it to finally happen, that women came so close this episode lol... Pretty dumb writing tbh... Both Ron and Ishiki look absolutely horrified after a near death incident, have a little introspection moment, and then think "fuck it, let's do the same thing tomorrow, I wonder how close this next person is gonna die" lol...

Pretty average anime really, I somewhat enjoyed at the beginning, but it kind of drags and repeats.

This was sooo boring. I was hoping they'd offer a decent four-episode final arc, since it's "extended" to 13 episodes and all, but they just wasted time on another one-episode case with no tension and plenty of cringy running gags.


And this is also the point where I'm no longer sitting through fillers to, maybe, at some point in the distant future, get an average main story out of this. So here's my final review on the show:
3 out of 3 police anime I've seen have been between bad and horrible. And if it wasn't for Kei X Yaku: Abunai Aibou, I'd believe Japan just can't write decent police mysteries.

But back to this show: The episodic format can work for police shows. In fact, german police shows are some of the very few live action media I watch. In a way, they are quite similar to Kamonohashi Ron. They have one case for 45 minutes, introducing various suspects for a crime solved by reccuring police officers. With a bit of comedy and tension - balance varies per episode. Thus it was pretty easy to spot the problems of this anime by comparing them:
1: The suspects are boring. They have no personality, so it's impossible to guess who did it from a psychological point of view. And I don't get invested in the case either.
2: The magic. Why exactly is there magic in a show that tries to shine with cases not impressive by characters, but rather by "smart" and "mysterious" execution?
3: There were also a bunch of plot holes in some of those cases. Not going into detail, just read through some of the threads on the episodes.
4: Those awful running gags. Ron is such a cringy character. Eccentric would've been funny, but he's just annoying. Partially because every joke is overused.
5: Constantly teasing a main plot. A good way to keep viewers from dropping it, but once they realize they've been played they hate the show even more. Subject to change if, at some point, the show actually pursuits the main plot - then it would "only" be awful pacing and overload of fillers.

That's about it. I don't even have any good points worth mentioning, which is quite rare for me! A very flawed, childish and boring show. 2/10

@Bisalissy Try Moriarty the Patriot, i love it very much but not sure if it's ur thing

That was close, he acted last minute. He knew what was about to happen, but not how.
