| Better then episode 1 |
 |
| Well it did have a good first episode even though this was soulless boring slapstick drivel... Hope the next episode has something about Noro Makoto. |
| I take back what I said last time, I really see potential in this show. One thing I don't get though, when Kobayashi was moving those boxes away and shaking the machine nothing exploded, but when he was just trying to eat the food got blasted away... Anyways the ED reminds me of Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou...kinda gives off that vibe |
| Alright but I'm not sure im following it all that well. Is this boys club a legit group? It seems to be with a hierarchy and "hideout" to operate from and they have amazing tech at their disposal.... Yet they spend their days chasing a suspicious boyfriend who works in a soup kitchen. I' get that he doesn't remember much but it would also be nice to have some explanation of his power from his own experience, what he learned of it even if he doesn't remember how he got it. Maybe that will come soon since he is a part of the group? I hope so. |
L-Ryoshi said: Alright, I get the whole deal with Kobayashi's power not allowing him to get hurt or die and all that, but I still don't get the deal with the girl. Wasn't she drinking one of those alkaline water drinks when she went to ask the Detective Boys for help? If the stuff in the water was what poisoned the guy, how was it that she was okay with consuming it over coffee? I'm assuming that the water was mass produced and ergo the same all over. If I had to guess, I'd say that she worked for the company that bottled the water. It would be easy to poison and snag a few bottles in that case and would explain why the boyfriend was so determined to promote the water. |
  |
| It was an ok episode. |
 |
| Kensuke is so annoying, the rest was generic. |
 |
| I'll give it one more episode and if doesn't work out well it's dropped. |
 |
| much better than episode 1 .. :v |
 |
| As most have already said, much better than the first episode. Now I will continue the series. But have I confused what? Wasn't the murderer also the orderer of the Dedective? Stupid of her imo ichii_1 said: It was okay, detectives doing detective stuff. R.I.P. sweet prince.  thebrentinator24 said: Wait couldn't she have pulled off her plan without involving the detective agency? She would have been able to kill the doctor, her boyfriend would have been arrested, and she would have gotten away with everything.......or did I miss something? Ah, fuck it. The police would investigate her and find out her connections, she has no way out. With her plan she can frame the boyfriend as a psycho. Well, for the police in my opinion hard to prove |

| My biggest problems with the anime are it's two main characters. About Kobayashi: He is a damn brat, has no manners and obviously lacks a sense of guilt. If someone asked me to name one of the most unlikable characters for this season, I would name him. He annoys me everytime he is on screen with his inconsistent ability and bad behaviour. About Hanasaki: I liked him first, but the more we see from him the more robotic he acts. Last episode he didn't give a f*ck about the dead puppy, this episode a human died (which could have been easily prevented tbh) and he also acts as cheerful and happy as if nothing happened. Can he only display one emotion? Do his "angry feelings" only last for 2 seconds? I already gave up on Kobayashi's part, but I want a damn explanation why Hanasaki is so indifferent when it comes to life and dead (yet again he wants to save Kobayashi's life... what??). The characters of this anime act not very human-like so far. I will give this one more episode to wait for Hanasaki's backstory (no not his butt), but my hopes aren't high that we will get to know more about him soon. |
| I liked it better than the first one. Im curious about the relationship between Hanasaki and Kobayashi tbh |
| Quite interesting episode, and he finally became a boy detective :P feel like a calming episode, but also some excitement! cant wait till next week. wonder how thats going t be ^^ |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| This episode was... Okay I guess? The main guy (er the brown haired one... I don't know their names lol) is getting kind of annoying. I don't really know what to say. It was just kinda eh I guess |
  |
| I still want to laugh when main shota screams" huh". |
| allo |
| Well, that was pretty dang good... don't really have much to say though, it was like your basic criminal investigation show, except one of the dudes has the power to destroy everything within a specific sphere and is almost invincible. I look forward to next episode. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Nice episode but we still don't really know why the woman wanted to kill the doctor...or I really missed something x) |
| you stupid idiot why did you drink the water!? |
 |
| By far,I really started to dislike this show.Not because of the annoying characters,I think the characters are interesting.But the overall atmosphere is relatively boring,there's no any sort of sound elements during the whole show.This causes a relatively boring atmosphere. Apart from that,story doesn't show any consistency,this episode is talking about case of threat letters and the first episode is about "twenty faces",I'm sure that they don't catch "twenty face",so why starting a new case in this episode? Clearly there's no much plot here,but considering the mystery developed and the protagonists development in this episode,3/5(okay) |

 Life is empty without anime |
| For me it's gonna be the best anime in fall season right after Haikyuu season 3. The idea with that none can stand near Kobayashi is really cool. Can't wait for more episodes |
 |
| I think I will give this a couple more episodes. I do like Kobayashi and I wonder about his background. I imagine if you despair long enough and live long enough without be close to anyone you might go slightly mad and distance yourself from the world which is what he has probably done. Not a huge fan of Hanasaki's character. |
| Well that was predictable... |
| I have no reason to continue watching. 2/10 and dropped. |

Eve778 said: I just can't bring myself to care about the characters. The only good part of the episode was the case. If they make the characters just a little more likable and keep up the episodic format, I think I'd be satisfied at the end of the day. I completely agree. I find Kobayashi and Hanasaki really irritating for some reason... like I can't sympathize with Kobayashi at all and Hanasaki is just way too overbearing. |

Can he only display one emotion? Do his "angry feelings" only last for 2 seconds? You messed up your wording or you didn't pay close enough attention (I don't blame ya if you didn't, lol). He did care that the dog died. At first he was angry that the dog actually died (iirc), and then when he went to give the dead body to the owners, you see him cry very briefly as you see the dad give the daughter another dog (could be sympathy, due to the fact that the dog's life just meant that little to the family). I feel like he's one of the characters that has to play the happy-carefree dude but could be absolutely miserable inside (pretty much like everyone irl, aha). One the note of that retarded ass boyfriend, he wasn't there when he died. He booked it out of the room before that fucking idiot decided to chug the bottle of water that he was TOLD WAS FUCKING POISONED. Either way, that idiot deserved to die if he's going to do that. As for it being easily prevented, I don't think that dude in the wheelchair would be able to get up to stop him from drinking, ya know. Maybe he could've rammed him or some shit but... Also, I don't think it's that he's indifferent about life and death. But he made a promise to one day kill the-annoying-ass-brat-that-I-won't-bother-remembering-the-name-for. And he's the type of guy that keeps promises. That's why he said it's a race for himself. If he can show that brat the world and change his mind about dying, or if the brat's mind doesn't change when he finds out how to kill him. Anyways, that evil bitch was hella cute. Quality art/10 for her. Feet art is still disguising though. People complaining about no plot as well, but most detective animes are just random cases with the plot just barely there. Maybe the case will give a slight progress to the plot or something. In this episode we learn that there might be an actual mastermind kinda dealo here, since the evil bitch won't talk. Also make a tiny progress where the brat gets injured very slightly near the end. |
Friends are there to lend a hand when you can’t do something on your own. It’s not one person doing all the work protecting everyone, we help each other when in need. That’s what friends are for.  |

I feel like he's one of the characters that has to play the happy-carefree dude but could be absolutely miserable inside (pretty much like everyone irl, aha). You got me there. I was so damn irritated when Hanasaki told Kobayashi that he is so cool minutes after the dog died (correct me if I'm mistaken again). I know the MC seemed(?) to be sad that he killed the puppy himself, but that "sad" reaction from him was so short, he reacted more angry about Hanasaki blaming him for killing the dog (what he never did, still MC got angry?). Hanasaki's "sad feelings" on the other hand were easily overlaid with his cheerful mode, so ya, I guess I didn't notice his tears when I visited the clients home. But looking at your theory why he acts mostly happy is also a reason why he is still kinda likeable and more interesting than the other characters so far. I want some flashbacks from him to understand him better. Kazuto_Katsuragi said: ... I don't think that dude in the wheelchair would be able to get up to stop him from drinking, ya know. Maybe he could've rammed him or some shit but... That could have become the most entertaining moment of the whole episode lol. Priceless! |
| waaait, what exactly happens when Kobayashi doesn't eat? dead rats & bugs get sucked into his stomach, or... something...??? i'm dropping it now but i'd like to know what the hell that was about |
     |
| Immortal boy is slowly opening-up to MC. 4/5 |
 |
| Kobayashi and MC are so annoying ... omg >_< The loner angsty personality isn't good on anyone -_-" Kobayashi is super weird, so his body will force himself to eat? Sometimes his force field affects things he's grabbing for (udon) but clearly not everything (the drink last episode) ... so random lol. So the girl was just tricking her boyfriend and trying to kill that one guy ...? They came crashing into his "talk" but there wasn't even anyone else in the room ...? To be honest I just want to see Akechi :( So the other guy (who drives him) is a high school student?! Dang I thought he was older lol XD I hope the mysteries are good enough to pull me through this show lol |
| This one's more interesting than the first episode but there's no "wow" factor. I feel sorry for the boyfriend. His bitch seems to be part of some group or cult. |
| 臭い- |
| The mystery was okay but was quite a messy conclusion though. I don't have a clue why the woman did that nor what exactly is going on here. The mcs definitely have pretty annoying personalities. |
