| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ok, that singing scene in the beginning made me go wtf. Hudson-fujin is easily the most noticable character...in a very weird way. However, it seems the show does have serious side considering the murder case. This show mixes comedy and mystery fiction together with the storytelling. Might have potential. |
 |
| It definitely has its charm, and looks very promising. Also that joke at the end made me laugh to tears. |
| Jolyne Kuujou + Steel Ball Run Universe = Billie Eillish |
| Interesting start. From the beginning, we have a murder case though it wasn't that of Jack the Ripper. That singing scene from the start though... |
 |
| oh fuck, this show is definitely a weird one. a race between quirky detectives to solve the mystery the fastest. not gonna lie, it caught my interest. the production is good so far and the level of detail they put into developing the setting of red-light district is quite nice, from the opening sequence of a random brazilian dude inviting into shady clubs to the usual cabaret sittings also, rakugo mystery solving? kek |
 |
| Whoever wrote this was definitely on drugs. |
| Well that was... a start. Weirdest show of the season by far. |
| A lot of wacky characters I dare say. Definitely loved the way it started and this show has hooked my interest for now. |
| Nice animation but confusingly paced. Also wtf with those trite, unfunny and overdone jokes on trans people and gay people? |
 |
| Hahaha I'm laughing so much Sherlock is so ridiculous wtf I expected something serious before watching it and ehhh, it is so weird. It's entertaining and funny afterall. |
 |
| This was entertaining and the concept of multiple detectives competing to complete the same case has loads of potential, the episode itself was more just fine but i like the style and energy it has and can see it working way better in the long run as this was just kind of blazing through the premise and we got 23 more episodes to flesh things out. I do hope that the series is going to get a bit more serious in its subject matter when it gets to it, I imagine when the actual jack the ripper is a problem it will be treated with more thematic weight, though multiple jokes from this episode made me laugh though especially the fake out with the boyfriend's affair. Keeping an eye on this one, this has alot of elements i love. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Kinda mediocre, but character designs are interesting. |
| That was... something I will watch a few episodes. It has a lot of good elements. Looks promising if done right. |

| Well I typically don't really like episodic mysteries by design because they never have enough time to develop any interesting cases, but I still kinda like this so far. Fun characters at least |
  |
| The concept is interesting and it has a nice vibe, but I need a bit more time to warm up to it. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Solid first episode. I found it quite fun and it manged to make me laugh. I like the wacky characters so far. Definitely has potential. |
HaXXspetten said: It doesnt look like this is gonna be an episodic mystery the whole time at least, it sounds like the jack the ripper thing is gonna be a overall plotpoint. I'm sure we will have 1 off episodes along the way though probably for these first few to establish the characters more.Well I typically don't really like episodic mysteries by design because they never have enough time to develop any interesting cases, but I still kinda like this so far.

| it was an interesting experience |
| Might be my favourite first episode for a new show this season. It has such a fun mixture of humour and seriousness. Mystery - check. Colourful Characters - Check. Rakagou - Check. What more could you want. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| That was...an interesting first episode, I guess I was kinda skeptical about Sherlock first, but it doesn't seem to be a bad adaptation after all |
| Really good first episode, I'm already loving this anime's Sherlock Holmes. |
 |
| This first episode was pretty interesting, not necessarily because of its subject matter but more so because of the quirky cast. Sherlock in particular stands out, especially with how he was behaving at the crime scene lol. Even though he seems deadpan most of the time I liked the glimpse we got of his more eccentric side with the mystery-solving Rakugo xD. That's definitely the first time I've seen anything like that. If this show manages to keep this up this could be one of the more entertaining titles this season. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Woah ok, that was a weird start. Very interesting, though. I was sold on the Rakugo scene, I want to see more of that! |
 |
| It's interesting. But I wanna more episodes to decide on this one |
| Kind of strange but it's interesting and amusing in it's own way. Curious to see if they'll actually have interesting mysteries or if they would rather embrace the quirky nature of the show and go completely over the top. |
 |
| This was fun! Mrs. Hudson is a drag queen named Hudson-fujin, but she's as funny as always! The Sherlock Holmes here really resembles the way I pictured the novel Sherlock, i.e. not hot, but old and funny and wise looking. Sherlock was a lot more quiet here than his novel counterpart. Well, this is a different story, so I don't really care much about that. Lestrade is here too!! Moriarty is such a cute kid! I have not seen him appear in the books because I am still in the first short story collection book, but everyone knows he's the bad guy. That's so sad. His design makes me want to wrap him up in blankets and give him hot chocolate!! From Mattsun's texts, even I could deduce he was gay. The megane is not a very good detective! He reminds me more of Lestrade than Lestrade himself. lol! |
| I enjoyed this one. The Rakugo was an interesting twist on what you see in modern Holmes' stories these days, that a lot of writers have him explain his logic to his companions and the audience by making a scene - but obviously western writers don't have a lot of rakugo in their stories! professional critics: "this portrayal of "mrs hudson" is terrible and bad and should discourage you from watching this show" everyone who sticks with the show for more than three weeks: "mrs hudson is great actually" |
| Certified "cute girls doing cute things" expert the cute girls doing cute things club needs you! maybe you didn't give re:stage dream days a chance; please re:consider |
| I like this anime so far! I enjoyed the first episode! The last scene was humorous. |
 |
| In my opinion the random "silly" sequences- the case debriefing, passing out the seemingly pointless cat screen devices, the rakugo stage.. are going to get old. I think they're added in to make the show quirky and eye-catching but it only annoyed me. It just made the presentation of the first episode messier and more confused. I'd rather they dedicated more time to make more of the clues actually visible to the viewers (pointing out the scratch marks etc). All in all.. it was fine. It's too hard to tell at this point if there's anything of substance to come. What do you people think of Lestrade though? Not exactly how I'd portray him in this world, haha. |
 |
| They just can't keep me away from this city... or maybe it's that I can't keep the city away from me. Soon enough, I'll be tempted to play the Yazkua games again. (Gonna buy the collection anyway) I don't know how I feel about the whole Sherlock Holmes part (although I think I like him), but honestly, just having a Detective show in that area gets me heavily interested. I mean, that's why I bought Judgement. Also, did Glasses-kin just use anti-bacterial wipes on GLOVES?! It didn't get me to laugh, but I'm just smiling at the stupidity. And I just noticed MC-Kun is our Watson to Holmes... even though he said it earlier, it completely went over me. Boy... it's all here... and I just fuckin' laughed at him getting hit by a car. Overall, a good introduction episode, I enjoyed it, and I'll certainly see more. |
| "You know you've reached peak quality when a doujin is better than the actual source series." (Eg. To LOVE-Ru) Just to list a couple of biases. Likes: A good story, characters, writing, romance, a good plot twist or something that breaks expectations (In a good way), 'backstory' and justice. Dislikes: Bad romance, too much fanservice, the harem genre, yuri, yaoi, and bad writing. |
| A mix between comedy and mystery huh I wonder if there are a lot of OG Sherlock Holmes references.. If there are I won't get most of them sadly Looks promising in any case |

| Fabulous start! It has the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens vibe, weird and interesting. |
 |
| This was interesting. What's with the fish faces, though? It kinda bothers me... |
| Wtf how to describe this ep. Sherlock is ridiculous but its entertaining. |
 |
| This was something...something very cringe and stupid 99% i'll drop this after 3 ep |
 |
| Why do people watch only one episode and go rate the series right away, though? It was a fun introduction episode. The ending part really surprised me lol. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Honestly that song in the beginning was fire, not going to Lie. I liked Toujin a lot I thought he was funny and Mrs. Hudson had me in tears lol. Idk if this is going to be a slap stick comedy or something along the lines of comedy and seriousness but I thought episode 1 was alright. |

| The first episode was really interesting, I couldn't stop laughing the whole episode. They did a good job for choosing Suwabe Junichi as Mrs.Hudson XD. Definitely gonna continue watching it. |
| I was so excited for this anime and i got waaaay more than i expected! That was hilarious and such a brilliant direction to take the famous character in. I love the way they made it so that instead of the Mind Palace, Sherlock uses Rakugo to put all the clues together... such a unique way to inserting Japanese culture into the show. Mrs Hudson as a drag queen is pure fucking genius! That was one of the highlights of the episode to me. I found it interesting that they've made Moriarty Sherlock's apprentice? Assistant? I wonder where they're going with that... |
 |
| Wow, what a pilot episode. This is gonna be a weird one for sure. So we got this trans (?) bar or something where some detectives meet up to get cases and compete to see who solves it first. Our main detective is of course Sherlock Holmes and he's an eccentric weirdo who speaks to himself in rakugo to solve cases. What a wacky setup. I imagine I'd be pretty confused at the end if I'd never watched Rakugo Shinju. |
| I love Sherlock Holmes and this interpretation was sooo good and interesting! I like the fact that it's a japanese Sherlock in today's Japan. Moriarty looks interesting as well. I'm looking forward to the next episodes! |
