THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Feels like the pace of this anime slowed down a little.

The technology and development of this episode had my interest though. Plus, I wasn't expecting Tilarna to snap like that. Definitely not a girl you want to piss off.

Well this was (direction and animation wise) way better than episode 3.

The battle between Tilarna and Vampire could have been longer and well-displayed, but still I liked this episode.

Tilarna's interrogation... you should not mess with her.

Now they have to deal with a vampire.

That interigation tho.....

Uh-oh, more trouble for the duo.

So glad to see that the pacing has decreased and gone back to normal, too much stuff happened last episode after all. I’d a feeling the mummy would open her eyes at some point and finish off Cecil, even more so thanks to the deathflags, but it’s good to see that I’m wrong. Tilarna seems to be out under some kind of a spell I suppose, hopefully she can manage to get the upper hand first thing next episode! Damn, Tilarna’s interrogation though, she definitely isn’t the young and cute girl her appearance suggests lol. On the other hand, the old sorcerer has escaped so looking forward to what next he’s got in store for us. Rip to the brave fairy, too. Mid-way there though, I really thought things were over with the two but that was some nice reunion lol.

Looking forward to the next episode!

I think I've given up on expecting ep 1/2 quality, but still a much better episode than 3. Glad to see the pair chemistry still there, animation still seems to be kinda lacking

I suppose that means that they adapted the first volume in 3 episodes and about half then.
We should probably expect 4 volumes adapted overall with that pace, except if they decide to do something weird with the pacing later on.

I was very scared after episode 3, but they really caught the quality with episode 4. There were still some stills black screens and panning shots, but in places that made sense and felt somewhat fitting. The whole episode still wasn't great, but after that car crash of episode 3 it felt great and it even had some nice animation bits.
I really hope that episode 3 was the absolute exception and might even be fixed for the BD later, because than the show could still be the dark horse of the season, even with that off episode in episode 3 (just a shame that it was kind of the finale of the first arc).

Okay way better than episode 3 if not as great as ep1/2. Animation is still shaky like this is done within average budget still quite going well but only episode 3 have been way off putting so far.
Also I wish the show could slow down for example this whole new villain or rather this new arc could have introduced in the next episode. Yet also essentially the first arc could have finished on the last episode if not introducing the "betrayal" plot which ultimately didn't affect much as far we've seen and also the villains came off as average didn't ended up as terrifying as it showed off in the 2nd episode imo.

It actually felt fast paced (not slowed down as someone mentioned). I guess they adapted 1 volume by the end of this arc (when Tilarna left) and just jumped to the next one with her being back.

Was fun though. I liked the new boss and the comedy with Cecil and Tilarna (the selfie thing lol).

Sad if they kept that pace ... I guess there won't be much source material for lots of more seasons. This show feels more like it could - after fast paced arc 1 as introduction - have anime own stories with these nice chars. (Really like the chars.) Even 1 episode episodic stuff anime original would be great I guess.

But let's see what the adaption still has to offer. Vampire I guess will be the new main enemy. (No enemy leader behind/above ... though it could be possible that someone set it up that the other guys stole that coffin with the goal to revive the vampire.)

Edit: It felt as if unconsicously Matoba had used magic to auto-aim his pistol at Zelada. He might learn "real" Magic - since it seems it is not tied to the different worlds. (The others just know about it and it can be used on earth and objects - as Tilarna explained I think in 1-2 episodes ago - might contain magic as well.)

Ah, guess I understand why they rushed before, they felt like the beginning was like a prologue and wanted to get it out of the way. Still a bit of a shame, ideally they should have done a separate OVA like Mahoutsukai no yome.

Good episode: quirks are back (that selfie over Kei's body, lmao), new case, cliffhanger. All I like about this show.

Seems like they are back at their 'top' game visually. Storywise also a good episode. Some exposition, character relations, their daily business. Really excited how things end with the vampire. Hopefully, earthlings are good for sth. this time "Check out our arsenal: garlic, silver, holy water!"

Having not read the source material I would assume we get some case file episodes before dealing with Zerada for the finale.

Yes, clearly better and with more frames in the action shots, maybe something happened in episode 3 production. I hope it doesn't happen again because it's a good and RARE "Noir-like" anime

Ok so after that Zelada arc a new one opens, and it's the Vampire arc this time, too bad for Chapman at least that one ass hole off from Cecil who was lucky to be alive.

Fourth episode for the fourth time ends with a cliffhanger.

The wizard should have known the fairy can do something like that.

Tilarna was good at avoiding his spells. Almost won with him.

The animation is once again better.

I wonder is she's going to be defeat the vampire by herself or Kei will come and help.

Watching this episode I've realized how long it been since we had a police-procedure anime set in current times. It was kinda odd seeing police vehicles with realistic LED light bars and flashing patterns.

Am I the only one rolling his eyes at the sudden appearance of vampires?

Tilarna told him (and us) before that she could feel a little bit of magic from his pistol and explained that long used things that are well taken care of can get some kind of spirit. In the fight with Zelada, Zelada hid in invisibility so he located him by sound but was off by a little but his pistol spirit corrected the aim to aim for the magic that concealed Zelada. At least that is how I interpret that.

Tilarna sure came back fast to Kei's side. But most of all they wrapped up that previous case faster than Usain in Berlin!

This new case with the vampire seems interesting, I'm glad Chapman got sucked because he was a true jerky!

Nice return to form for the show. I think Kei needs to be less of dick. I feel after all the shit they have been through the characters should progress than regress.

Good episode overall though.

Better than the previous episode but some action sequences still feel a bit confusing to follow. That aside, I'm glad the good chemistry between Kei and Tilarna is still there.

P.S.: That selfie joke tho, so morbid xD

I don't know what happened, but you don't know how satisfying it was to see Kei shoot Zerada and then Tilarna cut off his arm, the old irritant bastard suffered what he deserved, but the scum killed himself.

Tilarna finally reunites with her friend, but it was so sad that the little fairy sacrificed herself so that Tilarna would not die with her, but her sacrifice saved Kei, one life for another, one friend leaves and a new friend arrives.

Life without Tilarna seemed very boring to Kei, but to his surprise he arrives at his house and finds the little warrior very relaxed watching TV next to Kuroi, but the funniest thing is that she will stay and be Kei's partner in addition to be a detective. Tilarna in casual clothes is too cute.

Inspector Zimmer should be cautious on how to treat Tilarna, but on the other hand the teamwork of Kei and Tilarna needs to be polished, they are not yet very coordinated. Pouting Tilarna is damn adorable ... ohh god why is she so cute?

I think that Cecil and Tilarna will get along very well, since they both believe that Kei is cold, distant and idiot and I laughed a lot when they proposed to do the dissection of Kei if he died. Cecil is so beautiful, I still don't understand how Kei let such an attractive and charming woman go.
Tilarna playing "bad cop" was awesome, the stupid criminal thought he would be excused by the lawyer shit, but he didn't count on Tilarna to beat him up.

Luckily Tilarna arrived in time to save Cecil from the vampire, but apparently this female vampire is stronger than Tilarna and now she is the one in danger.

This episode had a notable improvement compared to the episode 3, although this is not yet within the reach of episode 1 and 2, but at least they amended their mistake, now we can only hope that the next episode will improve quality.

I think I may just drop this show. I watch animation for animation (also known as moving images).

edit: Screw it, I'm dropping it.

My final comment on this show is: Maybe they should start crafting animation frames first.

I feel sad that the fairy sacrificed herself to save both of them. All of that trying to save her was all for nothing. Its funny how I predicted that after their goodbyes, She comes back without notice. And she seems to started to have a liking to him. They do have a nice chemistry. Tilarnia is one heck of an interrogator. And they, I kinda knew that dead mummy wouild come to life. I had a bad feeling Cecil would be killed but her jackass assistant died instead.

I've noticed that there are some weird jump cuts going on in this anime. Like really hard cuts from one action sequence to another. It's kind of jarring because they jump ahead a bit in time at random. The time in between is like one or two frames.

Basically it's like they decided to not animate something smoothly and continuously, so they stick one or two still frames in there. Last episode it was multiple explosions and dodging on the roof. This episode it was Tilarna saving Matoba and dashing through hallways.

Now that I think about it they do it with Tilarna almost exclusively.

Seen too many cinemasins episodes?

After the climax of the fairy arc with the healing and Kei getting to his cat it made me wonder if maybe he could be cured from his allergy with magic.

Also the whole vampire thing seems a bit unrealistic to me, "moon... forbidden.. blood." screams vampire if magic is involved, and even if they don't know that is possible why didn't they listen to their expert on magic stuff that it's dangerous to handle dead bodies and I would assume it's even more if they're buried in an unusual way, so at least keep a policeman or two guarding the body at all times.
