| Didn't like this episode that much, the resolution to this arc was rushed and badly written. Oh well one episode left. |
| So that detective has 2 personality that's why kotoura can't read her criminal mind Boring episode |
 |
| And that's the end of 1 cour anime for me. Except for comedies. I'll still watch those. Rest is shit. |
| This Criminal Arc wasn't really needed for this anime or at least for an anime with only 12 episodes to spare. IMO they should have focused on more conflicts between the students and Kotoura or the relationship between Kotoura, Manabe, Moritani and the relationship between Mifune and Muroto. I still really enjoy it! Hopefully they get a season 2 or more episodes to spare. |
~ El Psy Congroo~  |
| God, that was painful to watch. Ludicrous is the only way to describe it, well at least Moritani got rejected and I laughed for a bit. |
| Is it weird i'm forgetting the reason why i liked this show.. |
 |
| Sooooo, how did Manabe get to Kotora so damn fast? Obvious culprit is obvious. |
 |
| Not my favorite episode either...but the love confession and the interaction between Muroto and Mifune were nice. 3/5. So...is it Last Boss time? |
| wow I think it was obvious that it was the detective but I wanted to know and I got it. I don't really care about the who on things like this, I care more for the why. ANyways, I didn't like the whole Moritani confession scene and Manabe saying sorry for her for what he did when she did something a hundred times worse. Did the detective not get arrested? I also don't like that if it's the case. This whole tihng is all about forgiveness..... even blue haired girl and her avenge to her mother Don't like it. Revenge is sweet. And with those observation, feels like Kotoura will forgive her mother. Fuck that. Dropping to a 7/10 from an 8. |
 |
| It reminded me of two shows at once, Nekomonogatari ("the stress made me do it") and Persona 4 ("suddenly, Shadow Detective appeared!"). |

| I know its a different anime but I hate to say this Manabe>Kodaka That confession scene was well handle xD Rito-san(To LOVE-Ru), what happen to you !!! |

| Meh. Obvious criminal was obvious just from the hairstyle that was shown lol. Average show so far from its great start it fell. Criminal goes down as easily as throwing a rock from a cliff. |

MorningGlory said: Manabe>Kodaka Lies. People here sound so disappointed with this episode, and complain how downhill Kotoura-san has fallen. I disagree, Kotoura-san hasn't fallen at all, it was always this shit, you guys just didn't notice. |

Exactly! though Kodaka just run off while Manabe answered. This episode was kinda boring. its obvious that the female detective is the criminal anyway looking forward to the last episode i hope its a good one. |
 |
| fuck yall kodaka is badass. fuck all them girls (cept for rika) kodaka is his own man. |

| And i was expecting some twists and turns :/ The rejection scene was sad.. overall enjoyable ep. |
| Did a bot write this rejection scene? The rest of ths episode was just retarded. But I had to laugh when I saw the cops being as late as usual, even high school teenagers are faster than them. |
| this episode.. it was too fast.. So this means, she have two personalities. It reminds me of another anime series just like this.. the other one is good while the other is bad.. |
| First Amnesia and now Kotoura-san ? What's this, a new trend in anime, bring out a new antagonist with a split personality disorder ? Well, Lucy and Sensui are the champions when it comes to split personalities, so Ukyo ( Amnesia) and the female police officer / detective stand no chance. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| Cliché... kinda disappointed. But gotta give credit to Tsukino-san's seiyuu amazing performance. |
| Tsukino's split personality was scary D: Also I really wish Kotoura would stop blaming herself for everything :( |

Except Neko Black is fucking awesome and the portrayal of how and why Hanekawa was so stressed was done beautifully and vividly.

 |
| Obviously the culprit was the Tsukino-san and I kind of guessed that it had something to do with split personality. The episode was alright but it wasn't surprising and I just thought her giving up was a bit too easily done. Nevertheless, it seems like next time, we'll see some decent stuff as shown in the preview. Looking forward to the final episode!!! |
  |
| This episode was...unfortunate. I really liked where this episode was going...but then that ending. Yukino gets off with nothing? She attacked all those students and all she gets is a "well, you're alright since you know what you did is wrong." Not only is Yukino not fired, but she's not even arrested? That's BS. I don't care if it was a split personality that was doing it. Even people that do things like this that have split personalities are either imprisoned or institutionalized. It's really a shame. I thought this was a pretty decent series, but I can't get over the fact that Yukino wasn't punished. At least the ESP club end of it was okay... |

I think she was arrested, it was just hard to tell because it looked more like a casual conversation than an arrest. I can't imagine why they thought making it so unrealistic was a good idea. |
|
| Nothing much to discuss here lol, let's hope the final eps will be somewhat good.. |
| Keep moving forward |

| My opinion on this episode: Oh, man. F U B A R |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Obvious as hell plot twist and lame as hell split personality disorder. Also Manabe just coming in and saving the day, getting in front of them without either of 'em noticing, without knowing the address, all of it screamed Deus ex Machina. This show has fell so low. |
 |
| Next week they will have to do something pretty extraordinary to redeem this anime. At this point my score has gone down as well. |

I disagree, Kotoura-san hasn't fallen at all, it was always this shit, you guys just didn't notice. Agreed. This show had a lot of potential with that strong first episode. Then it just went the route of generic moe garbage 101. Damn, this could have been the first moe show I liked. Oh well. |
| Ah, ah. Kotoura-san has become so repetitive and predictable. And it was so good in the beginning. |
 |
| I know this sounds evil, but I was kinda hoping that the cop would hop off the building. Wouldn't that have been a way to end that arc? :O |
"Cheer up, you’re never alone! There is probably at least 1 bug in your room." |

| No for real though, why are people complaining how "shit" this series is? Close your tab and stop watching it if it's so shit. Use some common sense. This episode wasn't terrible at all. Why are people saying that the cop wasn't arrested? The old cop tells her, "We'll go out for lunch when you get released." Released, you know, like she was arrested and then they're going to release her from prison. |

Released, you know, like she was arrested and then they're going to release her from prison. The reason people are unsure is because A: She wasn't even cuffed, and B: The old cop, as you mentioned, MADE A LUNCH DATE WITH HER. As if she was going on vacation or something! She was beating little girls to a pulp!...That was probably the most unrealistic scene in the history of anime, which by itself made it a terrible episode. You don't think it was ridiculous how they handled that? |

AlexTheRiot said: Probably because this is an anime. The main female can read minds. It's not even that realistic for a cop to be treated unequally and get special treatment. If you want realism, go read a science textbook or something. gigglingidiot said: The reason people are unsure is because A: She wasn't even cuffed, and B: The old cop, as you mentioned, MADE A LUNCH DATE WITH HER.

It's 2013 and we're still getting these "dont like it dont watch it" arguments. |
|
| This show went downhill quite a while ago. Well received at the start, then it degraded into a generic comedy. Now with the murderer arc, they rushed it into ~2-3 episodes, rushed Mori's confession, and actually pulled the MURDERER IS DETECTIVE cliche. (which wasn't obvious from the start) Also the split personality self conversation was poorly executed. And Kotoura stopped her with a cheesy speech. And Manabe makes it to the roof with no prior knowledge and with godlike timing and speed. |
