| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol Yuriko and Shoutarou all dressed up XD  I thought the episode had a funny mood do it with the cafe theme with the maids and stuff. Kinda feels different from the usual mystery tropes. The Osteology stuff was interesting, at least it retained realism with the terms. Sakurako's fascination about bones never ceases to amuse me. Past of her past is shown again and I hope more of that will be explored in the overall story this season. |
 |
| Sakurako-san visits the cultural festival and helps categorize an old professor's backlog of bones in a slower, more Sakurako-heavy episode. I don't pay attention to those "romance" jokes regarding her and Shotaro, but her apparently cold and methodical treatment of her cat's death brought an interesting exchange between them. Well this was another "Part 1" episode, but there was no immediate sense of danger style cliffhanger. Is this really just Sakurako-san trying to solve the mystery of her dead cat, or something more? Maybe related to her lost brother? |
| Any place they visit becomes somewhat grim, from the science room to that of Sakurako's home resembling an abandoned house, the contrast of how some life and light can make the place from soothing to being unpleasant. Natsuko writing the short poem, to Sasaki-sensei keeping her bones, was that all merely just to make Sakurako think about her cat again. A droplet of water. Is it from the rain or from someone crying? Even her meeting with her uncle is quite unusual. |
 |
Sakurako is a grown woman. Why does she need permission from her Gran to eat cakes?  Cute.  |

| meh episode, nothing really interesting happened apart from the ending. Izozaki was actually a bit annoying on this episode. |
 |
| Bit of a slow episode but watching Kougami in her ghost outfit made it worth it. Seems Sakurako has a special bond with cats seeing as she owned one herself and even assembled it's skeleton. And Shoutarou didn't like that idea at all, he is very emotional. And it seems dealing with girls is something he isn't very good at. |
| Yuriko best girl <3 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Slow episode with an ominous yet interesting atmosphere. Nothing much really stands out, but I do wonder why Shoutarou got so intensely angry and emotional about Sakurako turning her dead cat into a specimen. Sure, his morals probably play into it, but if it was only because of that I doubt he'd react as strongly as he did. Eh, maybe it's just the show's less than stellar writing at work again. |

Doesn't matter if you're an adult or child, if you eat dessert before eating Grandmothers dinner, she can be terrifying, that's a fact of life. I can see why Shoutarou got angry at Sakurako, I mean a Pet is something that should be buried or cremated so I can understand why he was upset at her. However he's gaining more knowledge about her by the day so these kind of instances really shouldn't surprise him anymore. Like when they found the bones of Natsuko he wasn't shocked at all. |

| i get a feeling that Sakurako is getting more cuter in this episode, ONLY IN THE FIRST HALF THOUGH. Overall , it's a decent episode i guess. this episode is so confusing to me. And that second half , i don't think i'm enjoying it. |
 |
| I'm not really sure where this show is going. The pacing in this episode was glacial. Wonder who was in the bed? |
| Shotaro looked like he was gonna cry when he heard how cold Sakurako was when talking about a cat that died years ago. What an overreacting baby. |
 |
| That Isozaki sensei is annoying as usual, Akira Ishida's voice acting really fit him. His reaction when they found the bones was satisfying to watch. |
| That was the slowest episode i've seen this season, nothing happened xD The ending minutes were very interesting though. |
gedata said: Shoutarou please.What an overreacting baby. But ok, so Sakurako-san stole the cat bones? What does she need them for? What is in that black book? Who was the one in the bed? What is Sakurako-san looking for? Questions, questions. Probably answers in the upcoming episodes. |

I guess his heart got shattered after realizing that he can't be osteophilic like Sakurako, and they're very different people despite the "connection" he felt between them. So sad.. |
 |
| just make yuriko a main chara already pretty exciting build up ,aybe we will get to see some depth next episode |
 |
| Shoutarou's whining was the worst. The last 5 minutes were interesting though. |
| It was an interesting episode, also because we slowly get to see that Sakurako is not just quirky: there actually is something off about her. I am really starting to wonder about her supposed fiancé. Apart from the fact that we have not seen him, it is rather hard to imagine that a woman like her, with a teenage guardian and a grandmother that scolds her for not finishing her plate at dinner, would have an average joe fiancé off working on his career. You would expect her fiancé to be more concerned about her wellbeing or her to cling more to her fiancé. Neither of those seems to be the case, in fact the role of dependable man falls entirely on Shoutarou, and her fiancé is just fine with that. Shoutarou himself is an odd one at that too. He is often just plain rude towards or about Sakurako, yet evidently cares more for her than a concerned acquaintance would. Sensei was dead on (seriously, with all the hate that guys is getting on the MMAL forums, I am giving him more and more credits). SoraSenpai said: I can see why Shoutarou got angry at Sakurako, I mean a Pet is something that should be buried or cremated so I can understand why he was upset at her. He was not truly upset at her because of how she treated the cat, but rather because of how incomprehensive she was of his attitude towards her treatment of it, and the difference between the two of them it signifies. |

| Is it just me who finds Shoutarou somewhat annoying? Hes so naive, this isn't shounen where the mc wants to save everyone without killing anyone. |
| Meh episode. Shoutarou is such an annoying/boring MC. This anime gives me the same feeling as Subete ga F ni Naru. You wanna go for a slower pace, sure, but what the hell are you gonna do in one cour?! But I got to see Yuriko in that costume so... +1 3/5 |
 |
| Absolutely NOTHING happened, I can't just understand where the show is going. And the MC is annoying as f*ck. The anime started a bit bad, but the last episodes were truly horrible. 2/5 for me. |

She's been acting this way around him for the entire series (you know, how she's always distant, with an overly pragmatic, non-sentimental way of thinking). She even brought up her dead brother in conversation in an early episode like it wasn't a bid deal to her anymore. Him failing to understand Sakurako on such a basic level just shows how little the relationship between the two has developed, which helps to make it even harder to care about either of them. |

He's like that with Sakurako because he perceives that he has a special relationship with her though. The cat conversation kind of rejected that notion, so he got upset. Shoutarou believes that he understands Sakurako and can accept her quirks, but is disillusioned because their disagreement shows that they don't have the connection that he thinks they do. I have a feeling that Sakurako keeps Ulca's bones close to her because she wants to keep her cat close. That might be wrong, but I could see her wanting that unconsciously. Or maybe the cat dying represented something else to do with her brother. That would be interesting. |

| Another mini-arc, and not a really interesting one |
| SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS. Also, another mini-arc. And quite honestly I don't know what it will be about. Though, that computer did remind me of the one from Courage the Cowardly Dog, only silent. (And more plain.) Note: If this arc ends the same way as the last one did I'm DEFINITELY dropping the score for this show. |
Mirorin said: I have a feeling that Sakurako keeps Ulca's bones close to her because she wants to keep her cat close. That might be wrong, but I could see her wanting that unconsciously. Or maybe the cat dying represented something else to do with her brother. That would be interesting. Both probably. It must have something to do with the way she processes loss of something/someone she has a connection with, be it a different connection than most people have. Hence she made the same emotional link upon encountering the remains of another cat. I also think Shoutarou completely misread the cat situation. He realises she is different, but he does not yet realise that her way of dealing with things in a diffferent manner does not mean those things are not real to her. In other words, in reality the cat conversation did not necessarily reject the notion the he could have a special relationship with her. He is just too dense to see that. |

| This episode was pretty slow, and nothing much happened. Hope we'll soon learn more about Sakurako's past. |
  |
| Basically nothing happened until the last minutes of the episode, but it was fun, at least for me. I can't get enough of Sakurako. |
 |
| LOL the begining of the episode made me something so sinister happened. LOL SHOUTARO OVERREACTING TO EVERYTHING. However, im still tryng to feel this anime. its very wierd and i dont really get a sense of plot from it, but i love watching it |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| It was a rather slow episode but I did like the ominous suspenseful atmosphere that was in the episode. This episode did have some rather interesting things to build up for the next episode like Shoutarou's feelings for Sakurako, the question of who is this fiance, and of course the unsolved mystery at the end that probably is connected to the cat and maybe her brother. I honestly cant wait to see the next episode to see where they go from here. Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ec4QoG18Zk&feature=youtu.be |
| Pretty slow episode, but I liked the overall feeling to it. Felt like it was introducing an interesting possibility for +development to happen in the next couple of episodes. |
| ehh ... Still curious about what its all about but seriously these lasts episode were meh. :/ |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Is this supposed to be a healing anime? Murder and death don't seem very healing to me... |
| too many good things in a single episode. Shotaro Butler. Sakurako dress was simple but cute. When she chastised the Professor by the State of the bones. And I asked as payment, clear much amused. The serious part moved me enough. I can't wait the second part. |
| I am Argentine, so is not very good my English, sorry for the many typing errors. |

 |
| Pretty slow episode. The end was fairly interesting, Well it did say part 1 so this episode is probably just a build up for future events. |
 |
| The relationship between the protagonists is a bit complicated, I do not really like the way Shoutarou is very submissive, already Yuriko was quite cute, I'm looking forward to seeing the development of the anime .. |
  |
| This was a pretty slow episode, and it didn't really get somewhat interesting until the last few minutes. These last couple of episodes have been pretty uninteresting, and I have no idea where this anime is trying to go. Also, are we ever going to get back to that mysterious black-haired man that we saw like 2 episodes ago? Maybe after this mini-arc that I'm assuming will also be 2 parts, we'll see him again. But yeah, another meh episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| How can i love one MC so much but hate the other just as much. I actually liked the episode if you cut out shoutarou's whining. Sakurako is character of the season for me. |
| This was kind of another weak episode. Also another setup episode of a two parter. We get it. That Sakurako is kind of heartless since we meet her in the beginning. Now we're going to go to her past about the cat. Also shonen, stop going for Sakurako. I don't really think Sakurako is kind of the person needs a romance. And please don't pull the I will marry you and take you away from your fiance bullshit. |
 |
| Did anyone else notice that Yuri only greeted Sakurako and didnt even acknowledge Shoutarou until he spoke to her? Me thinks Yuri has some 'yuri' feelings for Sakurako. |
| Slow episode but, I think It just build up for the second part |
