| I had a hunch that Nanase probably a Tulpa |
 |
| Kotoko troll of the year. I simply loved how natural her character is. I also have to give props to Saki's design. I mean, really. While everything now is all about big eyes and puffy cheeks, Saki really gives a young adult's beauty vibe out of her. |
 |
| Saki’s story made me think that somehow, Nanase is not something dead, but alive, like, if the girl faked her death and now appear like that, but her property to scare out youkais wouldn’t have sense. And Kurou appeared. The source of Nanase is the painting then, not Nanase’s death. |
 |
| Kotoko. Calm, cute and smart. However, above all else, she's one massive troll, and for that reason, I already love her! XD I found the dialogue banter between Kotoko and Saki to be informative, but also damn entertaining. Kotoko, bless her, insists that she's dating Kuro, but her pictures of evidence clearly shows that she's just delusional and in denial. Still, seeing her trying to make her point was cute, though. =3 Saki did surprise me with her response after all of the banter and talking about Nanase by saying "I don't think a priestess can be deflowered..." That also made me burst out laughing. Both Saki and Kotoko part ways for the time being, but it's good to see them trying to get closer to finding out on how to deal with Nanase. Whether she's actually dead or alive and also the mention about her sister was intriguing. Kotoko knows that she needs the help of Saki for this if she's going to make any progress in taking down Saki, but by her surprise, Kuro appears to be fighting her, but I don't think he can win this fight without some help. Still, at least this'll set up an interesting reunion between Kuro and Saki. That's something I'm definitely looking forward to, especially if Kotoko goes into troll mode again! =D Great episode overall and Saki's tank-top/small shorts casual outfit is smoking hot. =3 |
I was wondering why that expression sounds familiar , but now I remember.  Even their personalities are similar. |
 |
| cool episode once again from In/Spectre. liked the idea of having two female characters who have both loved the same guy. Creates an interesting dynamic. I find it funny how it's jumped two years and Kurou-san and Kotoko-chan haven't become a real couple yet, or even started to become friendly to each other. Steel Lady Nanase's opening is unironically better than some anime airing right now. I think it's possible that Nanase faked her death somehow to get away from the press, as she didn't have an identifiable body, only the ID on the body made them connect it to her (and the appearance of course). looking forward to next week! |

Mayuka said: This show is actually interesting. It's mystery but not too confusing like Pet and ID Invaded. It's like the perfect blend of hiding information from the viewer and showing it so we are never in a state where we're like "???" yeah, I would agree. It's a mystery with a more light hearted tone and an amusing, quirky atmosphere. |

| WHAT IN TARNATION DIED TO CREATE THAT SKELETON?!!?!? |

| Finally got a chance to watch this today, and I'm pretty content with what happened. This episode actually contains the entirety of Chapter 3 of the manga, and around the first third of the 4th chapter. Also, I've seen some of the theories in this thread, and they're kinda interesting, and that kind of thinking is good. If I remember correctly, they'll be going through different theories in order to stop Steel Beam Nanase, and they're gonna ask a lot of questions. Pretty excited for the next episode. Looks like they'll finally explain both what Steel Beam Nanase is and what Kuro has become? Or maybe they'll explain the latter in a future episode. |

Atlas77 said: That's what I had in mind as well. Nanase's body was never confirmed, only her belongings. I have watched too many mystery anime where it's pretty obvious when someone isn't actually dead lol.Saki’s story made me think that somehow, Nanase is not something dead, but alive, like, if the girl faked her death and now appear like that, but her property to scare out youkais wouldn’t have sense. And Kurou appeared. The source of Nanase is the painting then, not Nanase’s death. |

|
| Kotoko and her troll faces lmao Saki is beautiful We got another interesting mystery now. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Kurou' s abilities. |
 |
| I love the dynamics shown between the characters in this show. It seems to be focussing on the nuances within their overlapping arcs. |
  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 |
| This was the kind of episode that would have probably been just fine if the torrent of exposition had all come organically, particularly if it had come from the result of going around, talking to people and investigating like an actual procedural. It did none of those things. Hell, I'm not sure Saki or Kotoko even left their chairs once the flashback exposition dump began and consumed the remaining two thirds of the episode. It's a shame too because the back and forth between them at the start wasn't bad. Saki plays a much better straight man in just plain not putting up with Kotoko's smarmy snark than most anime characters do. But that's abandoned a third of the way into the episode and all the pertinent information is beamed directly into their heads from the internet, which is then conveyed in ten straight minutes of infodump, made more egregious by literally stumbling over the boyfriend fighting the boob ghost at the end of the episode. All that infodumping wasn't even leading them to finding it or the like. |
| Nice episode and the website and Twitter was also a pleasant surprise! feeling like real especially the website! |
 |
Shame they skipped this |

bastek66 said: Shame they skipped this O god, I completely forgot about that |
| This is shaping up to be one of my fav shows this season |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| So... are you telling me that after 2 years, Kotoko and Kurou remained the same? Welp, that's a disappointment :/ At least, tell me the "deflowered" comment wasn't just one of Kotoko's wild fantasies. Another intriguing episode. Nanase's case seems quite interesting to follow and the scenes with Kotoko teasing Saki over and over again were too great. Looking forward to seeing what Kurou can bring in term of interactions to this already entertaining duo of ladies. P.S.: Kotoko's interactions with the child spirit made me laugh until I noticed the dark implications -.-' |
_shahriar_shiham said: I really like this show. Wondering why it has such a low score An anime with a score of 7.5 is not low, especially if the score ranges from 1-10 . Now I can understand if the score was a 4 or below, but if we are using MAL scoring standards a score of 7 is actually pretty good or above average. |
 |
| Kotoko and Saki are absolute gold. |
 |
Swagernator said: Where do you even get a skeleton that big. You are jelly of her ride. |
| Kotoko sure likes to tease Kurou's ex. girlfriend XD What a troll! Nanase is a big mystery and her case seems to have intensified during this episode. She's very terrifying! Hope to see her case solved. Great episode! And Kurou finally appeared and already fighting the idol... interresting. |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| "I don't think a miko can be deflowered..." ~ Saki san. Saki and Kotoko were really amusing together. They have a similar way of deduction too. Nanase was hot, a shame that such a beauty died. Thou I think maybe she's actually alive and it's her sister that died. |
 |
| We know more about Steel Lady Nanase past and I found Kotoko funny in this episode like always. Kuro appears at the end, weird, cuz I thought he wasn't going to appear in this arc. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| The only thing I don't get is why we had that timeskip? I hope it has some impact but for now makes 0 difference. |
 |
| Sad big oppai idol xD. |
| good episode. But what about that skeleton? Is it visible and if so why did nobody see it, and if it's invisible to the human eye, did everyone see Kotoko floating in the air? |
| kuro's ex fiance is hoooooooooooooooooooot |
“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| Lmao when Kotoko told the ghost kid to give Saki a surprise. This girl is a massive troll. Her giant skeleton ride is also banging. I'm not fully sold on the story so far, but the entertaining cast makes up for it. Seriously one of the best character interactions I've seen in a long time. A great mix of humor, drama, and exposition. |
 |
| Love Kotoko trolling the crap out of Saki. Also love her smug expressions. |
 |
| Lmao Kuro's face in all those photos "Unfortunate accident" my ass. There's not a soul in the world that would die from falling down a small flight of stairs. Lol @ the Nanase Karin song. |
| I think the sister has something to do with the steel lady, or perhaps it was all a fabrication of what people wanted from her ghost which caused her to become real I really like the comedic Interaction between Saki and Kotoko, it really shines considering most of this episode is in a more serious tone |
 |
| Get more serious tone again for these episodes one, comparing how comedic essence got blown up in previous sample. The mystery of the cases, at last reveal one by one by itself. At last, kurou reveal his self with more questionable attempt. Still love with the interaction to Kotoko and Saki at every scenes showed in these arc of queen of steel Nanase. Lets see the conclusion of this arc in the next episode.... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| and I thought myne was a bitch, this saki takes the no1 biggest bitch spot, what a disgusting woman, kotoko best girl the episode was ok too |
    |
| Hm.. So time skip, I guess?.. If Kotoko doesn't lie, she tells she's 19 now, and she was 17 before.. lol at Kuro's photos.. Why man hangs out with her, if he's depressed all the time like that?.. Well, maybe it's just show's joke.. Well.. At least Saki had enough courage to admit that Kotoko indeed loves Kuro and stays with him.. Though, it is love in her eyes.. As Saki couldn't get through her fear.. But I still think it's more truth than not.. That Kotoko loves Kuro.. |
