NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I didn't want the teacher to be the killer. That was so obvious since Ep 3.
Man i wish the writer made Kenya the killer. That would've been 10x better and it would shock everyone.
What was the the point of making the killer so obvious? i don't get it.

anyway great episode, that ending was intense! Can't wait another week!

I think a lot of people who bash on this anime do so because they are expecting a mind bending mystery in a world where anime has a shortage of true mysteries and this one started off giving viewers the expectation that this would be a mystery with more superpower use. In reality this is a drama/suspense that uses mystery simply as a plot device, kind of like how Death Note did it (except this one is more feely than cerebral). If you look at it that way, it succeeds at what it does. I don't think that anyone can argue that even with flaws this is not a competent anime relative to most other anime out there


I'd like to direct you to my long post just up above.

I wonder if Satoru ever considered the fact that getting Aya together with his friend may have inadvertently erased a future child from existence.

Obvious? Yes. Dissappointed? Nope.

I stopped seeing this anime as a detective awhile ago. For me, it's just a good thriller(ish), and looking from that perspective, the anime is much more enjoyable.

I just love everything about the anime, the style, the music, the humor, the action, characters + development, and the mystery. Because even if it's clear that teachboy is the killer(When I first saw epi 3, I assumed he was the killer, and that Satoru already knew that at that point)the biggest question is still. Why? How? Love the timejumps, love how it's not about jumping over and over, but actually becomes a minor part of the story. And I can keep going on. I just like it.

And no, I didn't watch this anime because it is popular or hyped. I came across the manga, and thought it'd be a good pickup. Realised there were already a few epi's out by then, so skipped the manga entirely and went straight to the anime instead.

This show is for me admirable, and even though I'm probably just an animescrub, I have the feeling there are many people out there who think the same - hence the hype.

Is that bad? I personally don't think so. As long as it does not go out of control with remakes, follow ups and whatever not.

Do I think it's a top 10 anime?
Top 100, sure. Top 50 or even 25 I spose, but I honestly wouldn't put it besides anime like Steins;Gate. Doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable. Just let it rest, it's only a list in the end :)

More importantly, did anyone notice that Satoru falls in the sea before he heads through memorylane? At first I thought it was the show saying that he was diving through his memories, but he was wearing the exact same clothes as the ones he had when the car hit the river. Feels quite odd really. The river seemed shallow as well, so I doubt it's his falling in that river.

My guess: Yashiro dragged him out of the car before he died - so him being unconsious. Probably because he wanted to know what he meant by the whole future thing. Seeing he's unconsious but alive, he decided to throw him in the sea.

If that is the case, someone could find him soon after, and pick him up. Or him being washed ashore(kinda weird as he's sinking to the bottom, no way he would survive for long underwater). OR Satoru feigned unconsiousness and swims up after yashiro's boat left.

OR he's going to die, and Kayo goes back to save him(Eh... No please.)(Well, I guess it could be good if it's done properly).

Kinda want to read the manga now, but I'll wait. The next two episodes are probably about getting out of that sticky situation, and when he does, finding yashiro with his mum(no way the police is going to believe him. Yashiro probably rigged the car in a way so that everything would point out to yuuki being the killer). And the happy ending of course, with adult Kayo & the gang and shit.

Pff.. I didn't want to believe that it was the teacher, but playing obvious culprit is obvious was interesting. I thought his weird behaviour was meant to sidetrack us, because that would be too easy. I overcomplicated the situation too much i guess... Will he take the bait though.. "I know your future", probably.

I agree with this too hype is one of the many epitomes wrong with the community

There's nothing wrong with being excited for a show, the real problems come when it recieves more hype than it deserves. People who hype the show up too much make it seem like it will be amazing but in turn some fails to live up to that hype. Fans can't call people out when others don't enjoy it as much because they are the ones who hyped the show up to be something amazing


Same happened to me with SnK. During it's run , that show was so hyped, as ,, the best thing '' ever, so when i picked it up , i had very high expectations and was left disappointed. I didn't hate it or anything, but certainly i would've enjoyed it more.


Exactly that's what people don't seem to get

There had to be some kind of crime or else the killer would never get caught(no crime -> no case, you might try to prove he was planning a crime but there wouldn't no enough facts to confirm that).

Episode 06; 8 minutes in
Sawada mentions a kidnapping-murder case in another town before the Kayo incident. With a culprit who was caught quickly and claimed they were innocent, just like Jun.

If you count Manga scenes, (Ch26) Kenya and Satoru had a talk about another case


If one were to believe that either of those two cases were done by the same person who would kill Kayo/Aya/Hiromi, you would be able to find evidence for those (cold) cases to try and catch him.
It's just that the current case (Kayo, Aya, Hiromi) there would be nothing because Satoru intervened. (Although now, they can build a case on the murder [or attempted murder] of Satoru)

Oh, right. I forgot about that. Or perhaps I didn't pay enough attention(English isn't my mother language so I tend to miss stuff during fast paced dialogues).

I just finished reading manga(I decided to do that instead of going through the anime again, lol) so I see it now. There were indeed more cases to work at. But all of them had a fake culprit so very few people seen them as anything else than "case closed" so what I said remains valid.

BTW: After reading manga I think I know how they are going to fit the 12 chapters in 2 episodes. There is really not that much action left. I see a lot of flashbacks, small talk and repeating scenes in chapters 32-40.

My guess:

Episode 11:
, a cliffhanger- end of chapter 40.

Episode 12:
Chapters 41-44.

BTW. Where can I read chapter 43?

My thoughts were the same as Satoru "It was so obvious, I just couldn't accept it."
Who would had thought Adachi was gonna be the killer twice?

How was this reveal of a killer supposed to be brilliant in anyway.

I just wish next week would come sooner so I can finally tell everyone that I was right in saying this show is shit. But I'll never truly convince them, because they'll think that it was good until it had a shitty ending.

Alas, that is the sad fate of the modern anime community.

I like how everyone was/is freaking out and going like "OMG IT'S GONNA BE SO RUSHED."

No you dense motherfucker, they're going to cut stuff. They've cut large parts of chapters, which can be viewed as a bad thing, but I think for the shows sake it's fine. Comparing this episode to the manga, it tells the exact same story but without some of the fluff in the manga, which is expected anyway.

For example,


Everyone just needs to chill. This episode especially gives me hope that A-1 can do a good job with what they have left.

WOW GUYS I'M SO SURPRISED. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS THE TEACHER?

It's annoying that once again, as the viewer, I feel like I've been treated like an idiot by the show's writers. They offer up literally one alternative to the teacher for who the murderer could have been then on top of that start throwing in 'clues' - like the candy - that were as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face.

This show has had some good moments but the mystery (which is ultimately the core of the show) is so badly pieced together. Offer up alternative killers, actually piece together possible motives. Do these things BEFORE revealing who it is. I'm so disappointed in this show.

I wouldn't call it 'shit' but you're comment is pretty much spot on. Reveals are supposed to have that 'wow' factor and make you weigh up everything that came beforehand. This fell far from doing that.

Oh so you think it would have been brilliant if some random "other" character showed up suddenly to say "kukuku you have it wrong, I am the killer" Honestly what did you expect at this point?

I'm not saying Yashiro being the real culprit is brilliant, but I'd rather have a reveal that is somewhat obvious than a surprising reveal that doesn't make any sense and is thrown in at the last minute

And I wish people would stop bashing this show just because it's hyped. If you don't like it, fine, but the anti hype comments are becoming JUST as repetitive and annoying as the hype comments. How about you let the "modern anime community" decide for themselves what they think about the show, who cares what others think anyway?

I do not think it would have been brilliant if some other character was the killer because I do not think the show is brilliant in anyway, and I do know Yasahiro was the only culprit.

I was mainly directing that question to people who thought it was a genius reveal simply because the show made it so obvious that it was him despite failing to give a single alternative, a.k.a the show is brilliant because it's writing sucks.

Also, I don't hate the show because it's hyped. I hate it because it sucks. I'm developing more hatred against the show simply because the fans are sucking it's dick way to hard though.

Might as well just call it "Obvious answer is obvious – The Animation"

(And yes I am aware of the fact that you're supposed to wonder "why" instead of "who" but still)

The anime had absolutely no subtlety in how they pointed out the culprit-to-be almost since his first scenes, the manga was not as heavy as the directorial choices around that. (but the direction is pretty great in all other things)
I read a few hours ago an article praising the director work in this adaptation and I can't disagree with it but the writer went to the extent of including this red eyes obsession as something nice and I sincerely can't see why. Am I alone to dislike those red eyes present in the animation?


Are you talking about the article on ANN? That was sponsored content, so that could explain why it was praising every little detail about the anime.

Suspend your disbelief to ignore this show's flaws or lower your IQ to the point where you won't notice them and you'll be fine with the belt.

The only logical explanation is simply that the belt is sabotaged, even though Satoru was able to lean forward in it.

Dude, how should I put it... The anime or manga wasn't designed to have the most unpredictable mystery element, so there is no point bitching there. I also don't understand why are you so mad in the first place... What coasted you to hate the anime so much? Why don't you try to point out elements that made the anime bad to begin with^^

like the candy thing, from that alone, i could tell it was the teacher. couldn't believe it though. why? that'd be shit writing
the eyrie scenes that they portrayed him in
him talking alone with kenya
his wicked smile
his coat that is the SAME exact fucking thing as in episode 1

At this point there was no one else it could be without being an asspull, the author didn't think ahead to the point of "oh maybe I should add another suspect so people think that it would be them since teachers trap is that he's too obvious and then they'll be torn."

Trolls and outrageous comments. I don't even know where to begin, but people have always hit the nail on the head.

Just because the show didn't live up to YOUR expectations, doesn't make it a bad show. The term "back-seat writing" that another poster used was extremely poignant. You can't try to dictate the direction of the story yourself and then feel upset that it didn't go your way. The people throwing shade are no worse than children throwing a temper tantrum because they "excepted" to get a different toy for Christmas (even though they never even hinted that they wanted it).

If you don't like the show, stop watching. Let those who can actually keep up with it enjoy what they are seeing. Enough said.

It's a mystery for the characters, not the audience.

If you can't understand that then you can just drop the show and go watch a "real" mystery like Detective Conan and let those who can actually enjoy a well-written mystery of another ilk talk about it without be side-tracked by blind hate and disappointed fans who are throwing a temper tantrum because their baseless preconceived notions of what makes a "mystery show" wasn't met.

Well, I can see now what's going on, though it feels like you misunderstood the characters and the anime scenes a bit (well, I can't exactly say that you misunderstood something, since there is no real way to prove it). Buuut, let's get into it anyway

- "The time travel is terribly done for plot convenience"
you can look at it like that, however it's his ability that he cannot control perfectly.

- "Ten year old girl that can now psycho analyze the MC because her mom slaps her"
I don't see the connection between reading minds and being slapped... Also, the MC and Hinazuki are both introverts, so they are comfortable with each other, and therefore can use "psycho analysis ". Hinazuki was also designed mature for her age, which is not a bad thing.

- "her mom slaps her (and this is excused because her one dimensional evil mom got beat by a barely mentioned one dimensional evil boyfriend)"
(!)It's not escused(!) Last episode (which was kinda devoted to what you said) if you watch the it again, NOBODY was crying or were moved by the mother-daughter scene, including Hinazuki (which was stated by the MC actually). So it meant exactly the opposite of what you though.

- "she gets bullied at school(which is needless victimizing)"
children from poor unpleasant families are often bullied, it's just how it is. I'd be more surprised if she wasn't tbh. It wasn't made up for plot reasons or something like that...

- " then she suddenly drops every bit of that personality and becomes a simply quiet little girl when this random kid talks to her."
That's just who she was from the beginning, and you can only see it when she talks. It really feels like you don't understand introverted people...

- "The MC acts really deep but he's actually just a kid..."
You don't need to have a well-paid job to act deep. The MC actually has both a deep and a childish side, that's just his character, and it's still not bad.

- "He acts way to childish for his own good, and even has pedophilliac"
well, you don't know exactly how does it feel to appear in your own body but many years ago. If a boy gets flustered from a girl's touch, then why having the mind (but I think the word "memory" is more appropriate) should have any influence on it? I think that it's exactly how it was designed by the author. You don't simply have a smaller body - you become a child again. Try to think from this point.

- "The teacher is supposed to be a super caniving clever bastard but when he's revealed he immediately starts fucking monolouging and then turns into a "hurr durr evil villain". Also he has an unexplained hate boner for MC."
Emm? First, when he was "monolouging" he explained why he despised the MC, maybe you missed that part. Second, it was exactly his character. Dude the guy enjoys killing girls, and you are saying that he has to be composed while doing it... That's not how it works in irl either btw.

- "The sounds are meh." Can't say anything. It was ok for me, but it's not like I'm an expert


Well, as I already said, there's no correct answer when it comes to an opinion, but just maybe you'll reconsider your opinion about the anime, being presented the other point of view.
Feel free to object btw, if you find any flaws in my thinking^^

welp, they rushed it. they skipped way too much on the manga. honestly, they should have ended it before the time skip and showed the aftermath for 2nd season...

im assuming we wont be getting a 2nd season?

for those who havent read the manga -- it's far from over.


Far from over? We really don't have that much left.


Also, I think they did a great job in how they formed this episode from the manga.
Definitely didn't cut too much at all.

K.
>it's his ability that he can't control correctly
The reason for why we don't know why the time travel works makes sense, but the usage of the time travel does not make it okay. The time travel is used as plot convenience the entire story by the author, as he just makes the MC go back and forth in time whenever he wishes
>she was designed mature for her age
She and Kenya are both automatically able to break down the MC's character when they first meet. That's more then mature for her age.
>no one was moved
The characters weren't moved, but the scene still existed to give the mother a reason to hit Kayo instead of having her be entirely one dimensional evil villain, and it wasn't a good reason.
>kids like that get bullied
But the only reason it exists in the story is to make you feel bad for the little girl.
>she's only introverted
No, she goes from mature for her age child that is changed because of parental abuse to regular introverted little girl that was a victim of parental abuse
>his job and such point
I didn't say he had to have a well-paid job to act deep, that's just how his character ended up. The reason is, he has no reason to be deep because the only important things that happened in his life were Yuuki's advice to get friends, Yuuki's framing which he entirely forgets for years, and then eventually the revival ability.
>the next point
The problem is, it's not that he has the memories of the past, he is literally himself but inside the body of his child self. Sure, there's the whole body reactions, but he has mental reactions such as saying his mother was in the way when he, mom, and Kayo were sleeping in the sleeping bag(and he also does his whole saying shit out loud gig in the future).
>the monolouge
Yes, he was explaining his plans, and how the MC fucked his plans, and then he started saying how he tricked the MC by making a new plan against the MC.

The part about him being composed: In every instance before he was revealed, he was cool, calculating, always one step ahead of MC. In his reveal, he doesn't act like that at all.
>the sounds
It's really that the OST was never noticeable at all in the show, and the actual sound effects were eh(also I kind of hate a certain sound effect that's being used a lot in this show and a lot of other shows lately.)

Dude, how should I put it... The anime or manga wasn't designed to have the most unpredictable mystery element, so there is no point bitching there. I also don't understand why are you so mad in the first place... What coasted you to hate the anime so much? Why don't you try to point out elements that made the anime bad to begin with^^



I see what you did there...
"I hate it because it sucks" - good point
"I hate it because of the fanbase/because its popular" - yeah, another valid point
So what's wrong with the anime again?

P.S.: You are pretty toxic, aren't you?

He's clearly a 12 year old so don't waste your time arguing with him.

If I was a 12 year-old, I'd either like this show, or I wouldn't put nearly as much effort into why I think it was bad dude.

idk if manga readers actually read the manga or if they are regurgitating what they hear from other ppl.

the things skipped were nonsense anyways and the things rushed didnt need time.

Disliked the episode, because it made little to no sense how Satoru couldn't even figure out that the teacher is the actual culprit. I was already surprised the episode before when he didn't come to the conclusion after discovering the sweets in his car. I guess it was to get some intensity going but for us watchers, when the situation is so easily predictable, it actually backfries and the conclusion is treated as something unexpected which makes it even worse.
I'm feeling thank you

If you can't comprehend that people have a different taste/opinion than you, and Claiming that "modern anime community" is shit because some people like a certain anime + getting butthurt and giving the anime a 2/10 because you want to lower the score of the show and that you hate that it's popular and saying that you can't wait for this anime to end so you can tell people how shitty it is

all of that Sounds like a 12 year old mentality to me.

people still not realizing that the point of the show is not to make you wonder "who did it" but instead "why did he do it"

there's no way the last 2 episodes aren't extremely rushed..


people complaining that the culprit is easy to detect. But tbh that sensei is the most appropriate killer. he know every student's lifestyle, he know satoru's mom and he have the personality of being good to kids. And that's okay for me.

but the problem is they removed Shiratori, Jun in the scenario. The suspect. I know Satoru want to save the innocent people here. But becoause of that, the only culprit that is only on my mind is the sensei. I did not even have the doubt.
