| Build-up episode. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit! Typically it ended just when things were going to get the most interesting, but I do not mind that. I liked Hector, the supernatural not so much. Nonetheless, I do look forward to seeing what Sakurako-san has figured out! OP is goood :3 |
| Hmm... a build up episode for the next episode. Nothing much really happened. Although there are several things that intrigued me. -Like the car at the middle of the forest, possibly a dead people inside. -Then I somehow think that stranger asked the guy to kill his family.. hence why he was staring on the ax for so long. -Also the painting is probably poisonous or something, which is why he is sick as no one in the house knows about the whereabouts of the painting. |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode, different this episode with them no solving the mystery in one episode plus the fact that so far it has nothing to do with bones which has been the main thing for Sakurako so this is definitely a good change of pace and so far this episode really has got me thinking what could possibly the reason for this guy thinking he is gonna die. So many possibilities really makes you feel like you are part of the show trying to figure out the mystery with them. Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y40q1ceZOnY&feature=youtu.be |
| Im really enjoying the minor details and effort they are putting to scenes. The close up of the front end of the car driving in the rain, the axe and wet cigarettes, the painting, the juicer, interior design, No clue what the hell happened at the end, but Im really excited for Sakurako's explanation next episode. |
~my list
| Alright episode, not really interested in these side characters and this was barely about bones |
 |
| These mystery anime makes me very curious, this mainly that was divided into two parts made me very curious about the mystery behind the deaths and the strange behavior of man, this anime is increasingly making me excited .. |
  |
| Husband reacted when wife said "something something 'our child' " During what drink would Sakurako like scene... Maybe just me. Also that guy that husband talked to... Cult leader??? |
 |
| nice build up can't wait for next week , finally not the Episodic formula , i can finally wait for next week with a bit of Excitment |
 |
| OK!! Well, Fujioka isn't dead yet, so this is more like an episode of House. Theories so far: 1. Heavy metal poisoning. More specifically, arsenic poisoning. Why? - The fingernails. He had white bands on his nails. One thing that can cause them are Mee's lines, which appear with arsenic poisoning. Arsenic also affects the liver, which would match his liver stress. - They can also prove this by showing the painting next episode. Old paintings that contained arsenic have yellow/orange/red color from aging. * this is the most promising theory 2. Lung/respiratory poisoning. Why? - The cough. They mentioned that he could have a genetic respiratory illness. They also mentioned using the fireplace on occasion. He could be burning wood that either produces toxic smoke or contains fungal spores that are toxic. * has a good chance of being true 3. Liver problems. Why? The nails. There's a chance that the nails could be Muehrcke's lines rather than Mee's lines. These don't show up from poisoning. Instead they show up due to deficiencies with the liver. Though this theory doesn't really tie in any other elements that were presented. * low chance of being true. Other things we were shown: 1. The dog. - Ok people, the dog is not weird. A lot of dogs have a tendency to detect sickness in their owners. The whole "smelling death" thing is actually pretty accurate. - The dog was originally in a fire. This could help bolster the first two theories. If Fujioka is poisoned with arsenic, and there was arsenic in the air during the fire, then Hector can probably detect it. The same goes for if there are toxic spores from the fireplace. 2. Mysterious person. - This guy is definitely up to something, and it isn't good. You don't not show a guy's face and he turns out to be a god guy. That's not how it works. - He told Fujioka to do something who responded with "I'll follow your instructions to the letter". Maybe he told him to rub an arsenic painting on his balls, or to burn 3 pieces of wood to feel better. Either way, he's trying to get Fujioka killed. Perhaps the paintings he has are valuable and this guy is a family friend who has been trying to get his hands on them. My only problem with the arsenic theory is...he should have more symptoms. I don't know of any other metal poisonings that cause white bands on the finger nails, so I have to go off the assumption it's arsenic. If it is arsenic, he should be a lot sicker; especially if he is getting strong enough doses to kill him. A slight cough and white nails aren't going to make him drop dead instantly so young. People with high fatal levels of arsenic poisoning are like deathly ill, with symptoms that would put them in the hospital before they died. Weellllpppp, guess we'll find out next week.

Jerkhov said: Dat Sakurako hip shot  WOTS (waifu of the season) Mirorin said: Seemed like tasteful, reasonable fan-service. I don't think I've seen a hipbone as fanservice before. Soutarou still blushed. xD Now we know why this show is called beautiful bones. :P Good episode. The mystery is actually really interesting this time around. I'm glad it's a two-parter. Like everyone else said, it obviously has something to do with the "cursed" painting, and possible poisoning. Unless we're all wrong and the cute dog is actually Cujo. |
okseriouslywtf said: I found it super annoying that Fujioka just accepted his death because of a "curse". Purely from a psychological standing if someone did what he did and embraced death you're extremely likely to see physical repercussions like weight loss and just a decrease in health overall. It's similar to how some people with severe depression look sickly. Add that in with his already poor health (asthma), smoking, and lighting fires in the house (smoke) and it's no suprise he's feeling the way he does. Honestly he seems kinda wanting for death what with buying/keeping cursed things. the dude "fujioka" or whatever is name is just is killing himself , the dude obviously has asma , when you have asma you cant have fresh painting and a dog with that fur , alongside that , the dude smokes on rain , burns wood , and do alot of things that an asma person should'nt do , so yeah he is dumb and deservs to die , but i am betting that sakurako is gonna save him Jonesy974 said: OK!!

| Stop the meaningless talk |
| I wonder who that guy under the umbrella is. And they finished the episode in a cliffhanger, I like that. |

Jonesy974 said: 2. Mysterious person. - This guy is definitely up to something, and it isn't good. You don't not show a guy's face and he turns out to be a god guy. That's not how it works. It can work like that if it's a red herring, which I think it is. Regarding arsenic poisoning: like I said, it can build up over time. That way it can kill someone over time by small doses, and that person wouldn't really show any real signs of illness untill the final stages. This actually matches the deaths of the previously deceased family members. Thirdly, there is another theory, which is fungi. I personally don't like this one, because it has been explored in many crime/detective/mystery series, but it is still a probability. There are specific fungi, that only grow on dead bodies. These fungi can then be transmitted to people, animals or objects, are harmfull for the still living, and can possibly be detected by animals with a better developped sense of smell. There are several hints in the anime that point at this:
The painting with the butterfly, though symbolic and not directly The passing of several men in the family in consecutive order, after they have passed on an heirloom (the painting of the forest) The notion that Fujioka's uncle was solitary, and his body was not found untill several days/weeks, leaving enough time for the fungi to develop and grow. This might also hold true for the one's that preceded him. It would also very much suit Sakurako's style. However, there are also some contradicting arguments. For example, if Hector likes Sakuraku because she has the same smell, she is also potentially in danger, which makes no sense if she herself is aware of the dangers of such fungi. Also, there is no reason why this affliction would only affect the men in the family. DatRandomDude said: For a moment i imagined people getting poisoned because of heavy metal music. Hahaha,.. now that would be some mystery! |
| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
| The painting is the culprit ! |
 |
Always-Hungry said: The painting is the culprit ! That baby is the source of the curse |
| Lead poisoning! |
     |
| A very good build-up episode. Hector's so cute! =3 His welcome with Sakurako was funny, also giving us a peek at her bare hip and midriff too. =D It's sad that Fujioka has accepted his "fate" that he'll die young without at least trying to find the source of the curse. Then there was the mysterious guy that Fujoika spoke to while driving, saying that he'll follow the guy's advice. I hope it doesn't lead to him dying. D= Either way, the painting that was supposed to be stored away should give us the truth for next week's episode. |
 |
| So next episode is guna be crazy |
| Hi there |
| I think the one , he said “ i met with a colleague” is the reason why all of his family members die young just guessing :) |
| Very vague and interesting episode |
| Is it just me or Sakurako bears a resemblance to Yukinoshita Yukino? I find their characteristics very similar. |
| Nice episode, better than the 3rd episode |
| damn man all that symbolism about death he will die for sure |
 |
| That dog is beautiful. Now we are on the case of a curse man...hm. The person that talk with Curse-san...might have something to do with it eh? Sakurako...still emotionless as always and that's her charm. |
 |
| Different from the norm. |
 |
| I thought it would be a slow, build-up episode, I was lying on my bed as I was watching. Then the Sakurako's enter god-mode background music played and I was up on my chair again. Classic cliff hanger, I'm keen for next ep!! |

ShadowTheRaven said: Somehow I laughed out loud for this :P And seriously, this is bullshit. I get the feeling that the dude actually WANTS to die, and because of that I think it has something to do with the "Cursed" Painting they were talking about. He was probably trying to leave some sort of morbid legacy about the painting and have his family sell it off after he dies so that his wife and daughter will live the good life. I can't seem to see it any other way. |

Ah, but you see none of those points you mentioned have actually been stated. The house they live in is morbidly depressing (the wife did a good job on it) and it was mentioned that they got it for relatively cheap on the advice of I'm assuming that dude that the Husband met on the side of a road. Think about it. If they were really that well off, why would they live in a dark house in the middle of a forest and not in some wealthier district? The husband was definitely hiding something since he hid the fact that the "Cursed Painting" was nearby and not actually in storage. Why else would he take it out if not to make a huge scene of it? I say the guy he met on the side of the road was in on it too. I still stick with my "lets make a morbid curse legacy and leave a fortune to my wife and kids" hypothesis. |
HESTIA APPROVES |
| Best episode so far. The case is very intriguing. Can't wait for the conclusion next episode. |
| the best episode so far, really great buildup and an interesting mystery. can't wait for next week's episode for the case to be solved! |
 |
| Thank the gods for no weird gloves on scene this episode. |
 |
| Ah Sakurako, the hottest/best girl of the season. |

| Another interesting episode, the first to be split into multiple parts. By now, I think it's sure, butterflies are important in the series. 4/5 |
 |
| Impact of this episode is placed precisely in the final seconds. Only this time there is one story that is not completed in one episode. I wonder what would happen next? |
[/URL]
| Great buildup. Hyped for next episode. |
 |
| Has asthma. Smokes. Takes in a pet. Keeps an old painting (which will probably contain some chemical known to trigger asthma exacerbations). Smart man. |
| awkward fanservice, flat characters, no development, silly mystery of the week.... this is so bad lol |
| Hmm, feel like I don't really like where this anime is going. My guess is that somebody is killing off his family for the inheritance or something, since they seem to be pretty well off. Plus it seems like he's in on this "cursed" business with hanging the painting, probably something to do with that other "acquaintance" of his. I'm impressed him and Utsumi recognized each other after not having seen each other since middle school ... that's like 20 years O_O That painting in the living room is interesting too ... well, we'll see how it wraps up next week, unless it's going to take even longer than that :O |
