| Oreki scares me at how awesome he is at analyzing things. I try to beat him at solving the mysteries but he's just way too fast. Even though I guessed it was the cameraman as well, I couldn't come up with the flow of events... Gosh, he's a genius ✧ Side-note: I agree with what Irisu said to Oreki. People saying that they just got "lucky" are pretty annoying. 1) It makes people who actually worked hard feel bad and worthless. (Insensitivity) 2) People would actually look up to them more if they knew they were working hard for it and that they deserved the achievement and not just through luck. 3) False Humility. If that's what they think being humble is about, then they're wrong. So is their timing. Anywho, rant over-- |

| I love this episode a lot!!!Irisu Fuyumi is my favorite female character in this series now! Ah, I didn't even remember about the rope! So, Houtarou's deduction was wrong??? How would he react to this?? Watashi... kininarimasu! XD *Off to watch next episode* |

| Amazing. Just amazing. I'm just wondering about the movie... If I remember correctly, why only six keys? It's still kinda unreasonable that there's a seventh character plus, obviously they left the master key somewhere and they didn't lend it to the seventh character for his/her room as if he/she isn't really present in the scene or didn't mind him/her. |
 |
| Oh damn that ending, pretty awesome! |
 |
| Dafuq the rope oO? Let's see what next! |
 |
| Quick question about this whole mystery that is supposed to be realistic... How did he get his entire arm cut off? In reality human bodies contain bones, and bones are NOT made out of butter, a butcher knife would NEVER be able to cut an arm off... Anyways looks like Oreki screwed up big time. |
 |
| I forgot about the rope too! :O Oh dear I hope Houtarou's deduction is not entirely wrong! That would made him lose his self-esteem.. |
 |
| The biggest mystery to me is.... who on earth is this "Eba" that keeps popping up at the end off the last few eps. |
“I’m tired of all the nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?”      |
| i loved the idea of the cameraman being the seventh person, I must admit I didn't notice them looking at him during the film..... But turns out that he is wrong? Wow.... one more episode to sort this out properly then? |
| And I thought it was too easy, guess it wasn't. The ending give me the creep, a little like those horror movie where something scary will happen soon |

Wow.... one more episode to sort this out properly then? Yeah it was unexpected, but even so, I don't think that girl author ( can't remember her name ) did better work. |
| I didn't expect the cameraman, nice twist there. I did, however, actually think of the rope after Oreki ended his deduction. I thought it was going to be a mistake of the anime itself. Guess not then :D Pretty nice ending there. I actually think it's good to show that Oreki isn't perfect. It would just take away from the enjoyment when the character is unbeatable and doesn't make any mistakes at all. Btw, I also don't think that he thought of the guy in the upper room. He would have seen the cameraman going to the office and all, wouldn't he? I guess the next episode is going to about him thinking about the real trick, I guess he feels a bit 'remorse' for not giving them the real answer. They'll maybe also bring in the writer's best friend, I mean they mentioned her two times already with the "Why didn't she ask EBA?" message on screen. Also, I hope that jealousy of Fukube won't become a problem later, I don't want to see them fighting or anything :/ |

| The cameraman was unexpected but the rope puts that theory to dust. I hope this arc finishes off after the next episode. |

Houtarou solution ignored this point that is why she questioned him about the rope. OHHHHHHH that makes a lot of sense now good to know! |
| Really liked this episode. 4.6/5 |
 |
| Yup, something was missing! Knew it as well :p |
| 6/5 The ending that makes you scream: Oh, jeez, the protagonist was wrong! It was the icing on the cake. A bet orchestrated the plot to the story, there were many interesting points and the protagonists were characterized further. Other topics of effect are sure to have been given space to the individual person and show the propylene thoughts unrelated to influences arising from the club. Technically fabulous, stupendous designs! |
 |
| Great detective work from Oreki... but damn, there's something missing, a missing piece to this 'puzzle' :/ Really don't see where the rope comes into this murder case. ONTO THE NEXT EPISODE!! |

The prop master said the writer told him to get a rope that someone can hang off on and would not break. Houtarou solution ignored this point that is why she questioned him about the rope. Yeah, I thought so too. Even Oreki has got wrong valid this time. So next time I think he's going to meet Haba there. Well, unless Haba killed Hongou with the rope just so the movie would end in a way he wanted it to, but this is a slice of life/mystery anime so I doubt that's right of me to conclude that xD Anyway I enjoyed that episode and I suspected there was a seventh character before it was revealed which made me proud - but I didn't know how the seventh character would've done it - which Houtarou explained... but now Houtarou's wrong so I feel dumb again xD |
 |
| How is this anime so amazing? i just cant |
| By far the best mystery in the show so far. bum BUM BUUUUUUUMMM!!! THE ROPE! |
 |
| Is it just me or does everyone feel smart when they figure out a piece to the puzzle? I was getting some clues right around the beginning of the anime but I didn't get anything during this mystery :/ |
|
| It's true that Houtarou's theory was wrong/incomplete, but at the same time; if we're to take for granted what those three "amateur detectives" said was absolutely correct, then we can't forget that Hongou really was looking for a 7th actor -- so perhaps the cameraman idea wasn't completely wrong :O |

| I totally forgot about the rope. Also, when would have the cameraman put the keys back without been noticed. |
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |
| Oh snap! Oreki messed up! I ship Oreki X Irisu XD |
| Ok so Irusu is deffffinitely Chitanda's rival now. I don't even care what you peeps say about 'no romance'. She got something to tell Oreki. >:3 |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Like it that the mystery's still not resolved correctly. On to the next episode. |

| I really, really love this episode. Oreki was really a special guy. He just did not want to believe that fact. Dat twist in the end - I like it. Oreki forgot the rope thing. Nobody's perfect. That's why I like Oreki for having flaws too. I'm tired of watching anime with "Mary Sue", or let's just say flawless characters. Can't wait to watch the next episode! |
 |
| A really really great episode! I totally forgot about the rope too~ |
| Holy shit! Mind blowing episode! Oreki's mistake.. I totally forgotten about that rope. At least that is only the preview he still has time to amend his mistake. |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| Oreki doing solo to find out about the unfinished project, and finished with the seventh character of the cameraman being the culprit. Good eye contact on the whole film, until Mayaka got in his way about the "Rope" scene. Damn that ending I thought he solve everything until he forgot something else... |
| lol they forgot da rope =P well that's certaintly a twist |
 |
| The fucking string! Damn, totally forgot about it. That's why Mayaka asked him if he thought about that theory the day before... I wonder what Chitanda wanted to ask Houtarou, she seemed really serious. That was again a clever deduction. I wouldn't have suspected the cameraman. That senpai is so manipulative :P She sure know how to make people eat in her hand. |

| I guessed that there was a cameraman, when Mayaka said the angles were weird. Also, I think Satoshi should get some credit, a very important part of Oreki figuring it out was the notes that the characters looked at the camera sometimes and that the camera was in the lobby and didn't follow the characters around when they separated. I'm feeling a little sad for Mayaka and Satoshi, they work very hard and contribute to the success of the club but are rarely appreciated. |
| Why did the ending of this give me chills???? I'm embarrassed to even admit that....but that's what it did... THE ROPE!!!! |
 |
| Irisu is pretty cool hehe ;P Especially when she talked to Houtarou about his talent ... and his conversation with Satoshi was interesting too :P I didn't expect the cameraman to be a seventh person and the killer! That certainly surprised me :O I'd completely forgotten about the rope to be honest ... so did Houtarou make a mistake? I wonder what Chitanda wanted to ask him as well ... looks like this arc isn't quite over yet :P On a side note, I really like the title that he came up with lol XD |
| rope? aint nobody got time for that "that's not really important" it might be cool to know what the actual ending was supposed to be, but who cares they got the movie done, people seemed to enjoy it, deal with it i guess drunk chitanda looks like she hasnt completely recovered, im more interested in whats going on with her |
  |
| Besides the "rope plot twist", what really intrigued me was the focus on Satoshi's eyes after his conversation with Houtarou. The fact that it replayed really got me thinking. This is just speculation. The story Irisu told Houtarou has a special significance. My guess is that Satoshi is like the one striving to be the best in athletics. He also mentioned that if Mayaka were to gain interest in Holmes, she'd be better than him on that subject in 3 months. He even said that he's "a man of no talents". So all those times when Houtarou said he was just lucky after solving a case, it hurt Satoshi in some way. That's probably why he said he was jealous. |
| Uh oh Houtarou screwed up a bit. |
 |
| wow while they were working up a twist for the movie, they had a plot twist at the end of the episode, not going to lie that waaaas so unexpected to me. |
