| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This case about the past and culprit they're looking into is actually kinda interesting. I mean, the ghost of an idol...that's something you don't hear often. It's kinda cool that Saki gets a chance to fight that ghost idol although she definitely needed help from Kotoko. Lol, can't wait to see more interactions between Saki and Kotoko considering their relationships with the MC. |

| The whole episode was incredible, I loved the explanation of the swamp case and the end between Saki and Kotoko haha, I can't wait for the next episode |
 |
| The first half was interesting. Kotoko met Saki, well I'm looking forward to seeing them net episode. |
 |
| Uuuu the ex girlfriend is here and i can already see the improvement this show just got. Also time skip ? Like why ... |
 |
| Well... so the explanation for the mystery was a lie at the end? Sure times flies... They skipped two years, and now they are formally a couple (or so it seems. unless she lies to herself to this very day). Why did they skip so much, I wonder... for Saki to have enough time since the breakup...? |

Rytakahashi09 said: I still don't understand why would somebody disgusted by a boyfriend who can heal himself instantly and make that a reason to break up a relationship. I think it also has to do with his frightening calmness when the yokai appeared. And his eyes looked weird to at the time. At the yokai's words didn't help any of that. |
|
| Time skip seems a bit weird but it's forgiveable... Can't wait to see how this series will go. Seems pretty interesting already. |
 |
| this is probably my 2nd favorite show of the season |
   |
| Great episode! I wonder if the swamp incident is a part of a bigger story... Also Kotoko's precious face seconds before getting whooped  |
| Ending bit was fun. Seems her interactions with just about anyone is amusing. Though hoping this doesn't dive too much into trying to be a romance triangle or something. |
| this episode rekindled my interest again. i didn't really like the whole lake mystery with the serpent, but the second half was quite good more character interactions, please. can i also mention how beautiful all the female characters in this show are? seriously, the character designer did some awesome job and jesus christ, i love this fucking ED. their little dance looks so elegant and classy, and the jazz is so great |
 |
| Really great episode! But I can see people keep on down voting this anime because it is kinda slow. But I'm enjoying it a lot |
 |
| Ok so they bamboozled the serpent. Steel chick looks pretty interesting so far. Btw, I legit didn't even notice there was a 2 year time skip lol. |
| Yup. Definitely my favorite series of this season. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Great episode! Talk with the lake guardian continues and they finally came to a conclusion, these theories are sure interesting yet a bit disturbing but I don't mind that. Also that Kotoko and Kuro moment at the end was cute! A two year timeskip, that's a bit of a surprise, the police officer Yumihara was actually Kurou's girlfriend. Can't ssay I saw that coming. So she saw things happening to Kuro that scared her away from him. Lucky for her she runs into Kotoko... Kotoko with her solid first impression though XD  She even introduced herself as Kuro's current girlfriend with a smile on her face that got wiped pretty darn quick XD Solid introduction to Kuro's EX! |
 |
| Alas we reach the big tiddy idol / 4chan arc. One thing I'm glad though is that the animation didn't hinder during that action bit, glad to see it was still pretty consistent. And as expected Kotoko and Saki nailed it together. Kotoko's lowkey jealousy is always fun to watch Rytakahashi09 said: I still don't understand why would somebody disgusted by a boyfriend who can heal himself instantly and make that a reason to break up a relationship. It was more because she realized that she didn't even know what Kuro was (i.e., human or monster). Like the Kappa ran away because he was scared of Kuro's image (like in the 1st ep they showed what youkai view him as) and Saki like she said "ran away" as well. Not trying to justify her decision but to an extent it makes sense |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| This episode was fantastic, the ending was hilarious. Can't wait for more.

That was the best part LoL That face is priceless it definitely has a meme potential. Maybe it will replace the old Pikachu face XD |

| That smug memery at the end rekt Saki so bad she had to punch. This series is truly amazing. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
ZKisara said: Don’t worry that was just a filler episode to introduce the concept of mystery to the people watching because the first episode was mainly a introduction episode to help you get to know the characters. Please note that mystery is the main genre of Kyokou suiri, expect a ton of dialogue because I’ll tell you 80% of every episode will be dialogue and maybe you’ll get some action depending on the case. Some of them will be just talking and some will have action like the Pinocchio case but I don’t think that will happen this season considering how long the Steel lady nanase arc is. Other than that, I hope you enjoy Kyokou suiri as much as I did. Have a wonderful day 😄 thanks for the heads up. i don't dislike heavy dialogue as long as the story is captivating or the characters are enjoyable. the serpent story didn't hit me as being interesting, but i assume further mysteries would have better development or so i hope. anyways, just the Kuro and Kotoko duo is enough to keep me entertained, so am not planning dropping this any time soon |
|
| The way Kotoko convinced the serpent was so good, she certainly lives up to her "Goddess of Wisdom" title. Looks like the ex is entering the scene, can't wait to see the interactions between the three! |
 |
| Saki-san is cuter this way, especially with the police uniform ! Quite a "coincidence" that these two managed to meet by a cold night in the middle of the street |
 |
| This show just gets better and better.Had to binge the manga and so far,apart from the shuffling round,the anime has got it spot on.more or less. And of course,in the manga you don't get that fine OP song,and that absolutely stellar ED song(and animation). And you also don't get to hear Kotoko.She is my favourite character in a long time. So cute. I just wish they'd do some of the bonus manga chapters,as the one with the marriage licence ceremony is hilarious. |
 |
| OMG where's episode 4 😂😂😂 That was a cliffhanger, a coincidence meeting Saki? What would Kuro say... |
 |
Most likely, yes. There was a 2 years gap for them to get closer together after all. Or... Kotoko was just lying. I doubt it tho. |
| Wait, was there actually a 2 years time skip? Why skipping so much? And here I was expecting some development for Kurou and Kotoko's relationship :/ Ok so... I now have to assume both Kurou and Kotoko are 24 and 19 respectively, right? Anyways, nice episode again. So in the end, the swamp case wasn't that complex. It was most likely used as a way to portray Kotoko's role as the "God of Wisdom" by bringing peace to all the creatures/spirits' conflicts and questions. Even if it includes lying or using made up theories. This said, this new arc seems quite interesting so I'm really looking forward to seeing how it will be handled. And regarding Saki... I still don't know what to think about her if I'm honest. Guess I will need a few eps. to say if I like her character or not. She's absolutely gorgeous tho. |
| ok that was good..seeing the old girlfriend again..hmmm |
 |
| Well, it seems like they're mainly doing one chapter per episode, and if they keep going with this flow, they'll end up at 11 episodes to finish this entire arc, or if they extend it a bit longer like they did with the snake, we'll end up with 12 episodes. I agree with other people that the snake arc should have been concluded in one episode only. It feels kinda weird for that part to have a one-week wait before we got her conclusion. But people who will watch all 12 episodes in one go won't have a problem I guess. I'm rereading the 2nd chapter of the manga, which is what the second half of this episode is based on. At least the time skip in the anime is shorter, cause in the manga, it said 2 and a half years later. Also, if they didn't cut off some of the parts from the manga (which aren't really that important), this chapter could have been implemented into one whole episode. Hopefully, the next episodes will only focus on one chapter each, it would be better that way. Also, a reminder to you all, like other people said, the next episodes will heavily rely on dialogue. Almost every second of the anime has information that will help lead up to the conclusion (from what I remember from the manga), and (kind of a) spoiler: |
 |
| I really liked this episode. The atmosphere is starting to develop a little more and the characters are becoming endearing. That ending tho lmao |
  We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think? ------------------------------------ Itachi Uchiha |
G-Pele23 said: Kotoko babbling about her one sided crush. Such a childish behaviour. She is at that age so i don't blame her. People who expect some great romantic development between Kotoko and Kurou will be disappointed. How do you know whether there'll be romantic development? Have you read the manga or are you just guessing? |

| Bwahahahaha That ending! It might be the sake or something but I just about died laughing! I think I woke the entire neighborhood up. |
| Really amazing, the serpent's part was good and the story after the time skip is going great. Saki and Kotoko met which was great and lol Kotoko's smug face at the end was priceless. |
