| Caught up today, I'm really enjoying this show. Each of the main characters is competent, charming, and realistic and it's honestly a breath of fresh air. The voice actors make the dialogue even more compelling to listen to. Can't wait for the rest of the season and then I'll most likely hop to the manga. |

| The detective that was trying to flirt with Saki died lol. I like the pace of the current arc, lots of investigating stuffs going on, tho I really fail to see how they plan on beating her by changing the topic of steel lady nanase to something more interesting, regardless on how interesting they come up with its fairly impossible to completely remove people on forums, internet to just forget about what they once taught was true. Can't wait for whats to come, also I wonder who the skinny boned lady was. I tend to always buy the idea that Nanase isnt actually dead and that may be her (massive downplay with her tits tho but she did get sknny af) since who else could it be that will deal a surprising blow, or heck maybe she's just a simple painter that may have started the whole lady nanase thing. |

| That was a fun episode. Nice hook for next episode too. |
 |
| Wasn't able to watch any anime since Friday (except Her blue Sky), so I decided to watch this one first out of the 15 other anime on my queue lol. But as always, the episode was great. They were supposed to mention the sister's alibi here, as well as the sister herself saying why it wouldn't be a suicide, but I think they'll move it to the next episode or when they present their logical fiction. I'm so excited for the future episodes... it looks like the rest of the season will really end along with this arc. I'm also already warning people: if you guys didn't like Episode 2+3 (the snake), you will probably won't like the next episodes. 3-4 episodes will have heavy dialogue and they will "solve" this case (somewhat) the same way they did with the snake. But if you've liked everything so far, then you should definitely see how this would end. I literally can't spoil how because it's set up so that you can't explain the end without explaining everything first, and that's a lot.

The place where I read it is only until Volume 10.. Can I ask this: |

ZKisara said: Sorry to say this but this is going to be most of the episode from now on. Long dialogue, more thinking, and if you come for some sweet spicy aCtIoN; this ain’t it chief. Kyokou suiri, also known as in/spectre, but also known as INVENTED INFERENCE, is mainly dialogue with mystery to back it up and that’s all I can say. Take it or leave it mate, up to you to decide. Short_Circut said: yep, this series is reallllly dialogue heavy so if one can't handle it now they might not really like it later I know it's hard to get when you're fanboying it hard, but main problem of this episode is it's huge primitive exposition dump, where they explain most simple stuff couple of times. It's so bad that dialog with construction worker ghost is the best part of it. As notorious reader I like "dialogue heavy" stuff, so jumping on "you just prefer action/dislike long dialogues" train is an easy mistake, so I'll say it very simply - from plot and entertainment perspective this episode is superfluous and whole ark is below mediocre. I guess cute girl speaking mystery is enough content for most viewers, but I came for "some sweet yokai vibes" and it's more of typical shounen. |
| It seems to me that a simple solution would be to have Kuro dress as Nanase in a very public place, have him get subdued by the cops, and, once locked up, have him kill himself or have someone else kill him. Bing bang boom. Problem solved. |
| For an episode heavy on exposition and light in action this was quite enjoyable. And all of that is thanks to the personality of lovely Kotoko. |

Ok but..........what does that have to do with “fanboying it hard” though? Yes I do like the series but nowhere did I opinionated my response like that You literally just explained what I said lmao. “ main problem of this episode is it's huge primitive exposition dump, where they explain most simple stuff couple of times” thats literally being “ reallllly dialogue heavy,” maybe not the kind you like but still heavy nonetheless. Hell not once did I even mention talking about you lol. yep, this series is reallllly dialogue heavy so if one can't handle it now they might not really like it later I was just agreeing with what @ZKisara was talking about how this formula is going to carry on But even if it did it still might apply to you though. You clearly aren’t enjoying the exposition nature of the series right now (or at least not as much as others) so you might not like it further down because it’s going to be the same story of lots of analyzing/exposition/whatever |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Aw man, I liked that detective, his heart was in the right place and he just wanted to protect the people. Really liked the exchange between Kuro and Kotoko throughout the whole episode. |
| I think this was the best ep so far and man i really love the romance between Kurou and Iwanaga the interactions between them are so funny and i can feel that kurou is growing to care more and more about her i hope the author will make an arc to develop their relationship more |
| Poor detective... R.I.P, I liked him, actually, Their relationship is so weird. They are a couple, but it seems so one-sided. Kuro seems indifferent as hell. It doesn't sound that he was like that with Saki. |
 |
| Up until Saki started telling them about the police investigation into Nanase's death, the conversation in the episode was annoyingly circular, simply going back and forth between the same few points over and over again. Thankfully, things improved a lot after that, even if the flashback to exposition on Kuro's powers was a little jarring (though entirely necessary thanks to the time skip). Sad that the detective died, but this just makes their job a lot harder now, especially with that woman we saw at the end presumably fanning the flames of the Nanase rumours. |
| Oh for fuck's sake! Seriously, Terada? Well... F. Wonder if he will come back as a ghost or something tho. Another quite intriguing episode. Heavy on dialogues indeed but I didn't mind it in the slightest since they were well handled and kept me captivated enough. The explanation for the Kudan's future prediction ability was super interesting to hear, by the way. Kurou has it rougher that I initially thought. No wonder why the guy acts so indifferent/cold. |
| finally! a casualty! this episode has lots of blabbering! good thing i didn't get sleepy! 4/5. |
 |
| Even though Saki's seen plenty of ghosts now, it was still pretty funny to see her scream at the sight of the ghost builder which made her run away and curl up into a ball, sort of. XD The dialogue goes through a circular pattern here and there, but that makes it even more engaging. The things that we've learnt was that Nanase did die via an accidental death by the steel beams, even though she made no attempt to dodge them at all. Finding a solution to defeating the steel lady Nanase is going to take a lot of prep work from Kotoko and Kuro. Their talk about the Kudan's power gave us a better insight into how Kuro can choose what future is best if it can be obtained. His laugh sounds a bit emotionless, but because of that, it was funny. Same goes for Kotoko's reaction when Kuro blew off her first suggestion of staying in her double-bed hotel room. XD Sadly, as Kotoko voiced her optimism of beating steel lady Nanase, said spirit encountered detective Terada and his lack of knowledge about her got himself killed. That's a big F right there. =( Because of that, Koto and Kuro's job of taking Nanase out will be more difficult, so I look forward to seeing what happens next time. =) |
| God damn it Mr. Detective! You just blew the whole plan! And who is the mysterious woman on the computer? She seems like she's fuelling the urban legend Kotoko and Kuro's relationship seemed a lot sweeter this week. Their relationship appears to be pretty complicated; it's like Kuro doesn't want to get too close to her and Kotoko is respecting that but also trying her hardest to support him. The Japanese title of the anime finally makes sense because of this ep too! hehe |
 |
| Another good episode. I have the feeling that the woman behind the PC is Hatsumi Nanase. Also, this part was the best:  Magical Girl Kotoko-chan is here to solve the case! |
 |
| It looks like even though Steel Lady Nanase is a monster of the imagination, there's a concrete way to alleviate her known status, but with human perception, it's only logical/rational fiction that'll trump the thoughts surrounding her, and only a collaboration between Kotoko and Saki is the way to solving this convoluted case of "not killed, but killed in action a.k.a suicide. Add to that the likely (and most probable) suspect of older sister Hatsumi Nanase with her alibi, it's hard to discern. ChloeVonEinzbern said: Pfft haha that made my day :)Also, this part was the best: Magical Girl Kotoko-chan is here to solve the case! To go back to the crime scene and inquire the help of youkai is the standard of Kotoko, but for Saki, it's witness at an unprecedented level. Regardless, predicting the future (at least for Kuro) having been a kudan is a feat, but only in small dosages as it eats on its wearer. Furthermore, since his lifepath only chooses the most probable situation, it's as difficult to ascertain what lies ahead, so the present is as good as it comes. Time is certainly not on anyone's side as Steel Lady Nanase claims another human detective's life, and the suspicion that falls on the behemoth: the most likely older sister Hatsumi spreading rumours. What comes out of the truth in light in this arc, next episode. |

| Enough complaining about the dialogue-heavy nature of the show. "Show, don't tell" is a guideline, not a rule. Just as there are anime that excel in visuals, there are those that will excel in music, dialogue, humor, horror, etc... |
| Hmmm so Kuro-kun worried about Iwanaga. I like their little moments than watching them solving a case |
 |
| Pretty dope 5/5 episode Kotoko deserves better than Korou but at the same time Korou ain't that bad he has room to improve Saki's a fucking pussy too jheeeeeez |
| it has a Hyouka vibe |
“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| Well, we know how Nanase died. That police officer being killed was expected as the phrase says: "curiosity killed the cat". |
| 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. |
| I really like Iwanaga. She's cute, funny and honest about her feelings. I loved it when she hugged Kuro from behind. She looks floofy as hell lol. Seeing the police woman freak out was also funny to watch. I love animes like this that are action and romance. Double interest. Hope they proper get together by the end. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| sad nanase xD. Suicide. |
| So do Kuro & Kotoko have a sexual relationship or not? When they're going down the hill on the bike she says "you refuse to sleep with me" did she mean in a romantic way, as in having sex, or just actual sleeping with her (even though they actually have sex)? I'm currently watching ep 7 and came back and watched this episode then looked up this thread for any hints. In the next episode they're in the hotel room, the one Kotoko complains because they didn't get a single room even though they're boyfriend & girlfriend, which suggests they have sex right? Kurou says that he was worried about her being tired & wanted her to sleep, but she says she wishes he would keep her up all night, hinting at getting intimate. So I think they do, but wondered why she made that comment in this episode about him refusing to sleep with her? |
 |
| well this just got more complicated. Also I like how the infinite futures theory is real in this show and the work around for it. |
 |
| Ah yep, looks like my guess about tampering the wiki was correct. Curious to see how the trio would pull this off since they have to prove to so many internet-goers. Tbh if I were Kotoko, I'd just visit the crime scene again and find a witness yokai right away, but she does have a point on finding substantial evidence first beforehand. Poor detective in the end RIP. |
 |
| Fuuaak at the ending. RIP my man. Great anime so far, especially digging Kuro x Kotoko, the mystery and supernatural elemnt is a nice bonus. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Terada just had to go and get himself killed. Hope he comes back as a ghost later. |
 |
| enjoyed this episode, the kurou and kotoko moments were super cute. My favorite part was Kurou saying "she won't be satisfied unless she goes through all of this" LMAO wish we could see more of them and a bit of backstory how their relationship established. I just really hope this whole Lady Nanase Storyline won't drag out for the rest of the anime.... it is halfway through and I would like to see something else than just this. I felt really bad about the Detective, I liked him a lot :/ |

| The episode was really boring, nothing happened. |
