I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| For once we had a case where someone didn’t get killed lol, but lowkey one of the craziest yet. Also our first case without Kazamatsuri IIRC? Loved the Kageyama and Reiko moments today. We’ve heard of “speak now or forever hold your peace”, but damn people don’t usually try to kill the bride to do that 😭 When Reiko met Teruya and said he was musty, I knew he was gonna be on some sus shit and turns out he was quite the womanizer. While he wasn’t directly involved in the attack on Yuri, I think he is involved with the Miyuki kidnapping. We know he’s likely out for money so this would be a nice extortion method. I don’t really know what to say about Kotoe. You’d think age would make you wiser, but I guess not. Attacking Yuri because you like Yoshida and now you don’t have Yoshida and you’re out of money lol. Good thing no one died. Kageyama and Reiko were so fun today, it was a cool contrast between them and Yoshida and Kotoe. Lmao at Kageyama saying there’s no way in hell he’d die for Reiko 😭 he’s for sure lying tho, he cares about her in his own way. Only one more episode next week and it’s our finale fuck man where did the time go. Gonna miss this sm P.S I would say “unpopular opinion” but me and like 3 other people the only ones watching this shit anyway 😂 but Reiko x Kageyama are way more enjoyable to watch than Reiko and Kazamatsuri. |

| I would say this is the first episode where Kageyama and Reiko spent time together without Kageyama brutally insulting her. They actually shared some wholesome and fun moments while teasing others, though Kageyama still managed to get the upper hand on Reiko. Of course, Teruya came off as a shady guy, not just because of how he acted but also because of his appearance. It makes sense that he wasn't directly involved in today’s case, but if I’m right, he is connected to Miyuki’s kidnapping. His involvement might lead to some kind of hint, if not a full reveal, of Reiko’s secret to Kyouichirou. It was funny how Reiko thinks Yuri has daddy issues just because she lost her father at a young age. Hopefully, that’s not how it usually works. And Miyuki calling Reiko "auntie," poor Reiko. Honestly, the episode without Kyouichirou felt a lot better. I didn’t have to hear his absurd deductions. His time at the golf course was funny, and Detective Doi filling in for Kyouichirou was hilarious, especially with how seriously he takes being inspired by him. |

I might be too obsessed with The Apothecary Diaries, but is that a Kazamatsuri version of Lihaku? In the end, it's all about Kageyama making Hosho lose her s***! And those who enjoy this series (like me) are all for it!    |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |
| A detective case where Kazamatsuri isn't involved, Hosho getting to see her close relative sister Yuri Sawamura being wed is a dream come true to the dashing old man of Teruya Hoshino, though the former has always shown interest in older man. The family drama between Kotoe Saionji and the Sawamuras in a rather exuberant exchange of wealth and rights, all is well and seema alright...until Yuri gets stabbed and is taken to hospital. Instead, Kazamatsuri's assistant inspector Doi coming in to fill for him for this case with his rather Spanish-like por favor, he has everything going for him...as much as the excessive imitation of the eccentric inspector. The closed-door incident that has ridiculous theories thrown left and right, even going as far as to frame Hosho being the culprit, it's all speculation. The crux lying in the formality of the family members pertaining to the household, and Kotoe soon becomes the immediate suspect for a marriage that she was being taken advantage of for Teruya to be wed into the family for money, with her butler Yoshida providing a cover for her. As a family matter, this is settled privately, though there's no need for Doi to show up again, and the messy drama of the Saionji and Sawamura families cut off. To make matters worse, Yuri is now kidnapped after a rather serious near-death experience? What in the world... |

| Reiko oba-chan! lmao... Why did this series need another flashy and useless detective who wears a white suit? Even though Teruya wasn't the one who stabbed Yuri, right now, I think it's safe to say that he is the one who kidnapped Miyuki. He seemed pretty sus from the beginning, and he looked like to be the one who married for money. |
真姫ちゃん！ 何が好き？ トマト よりも あ･な･た♡  |
| Glad to see that it looks like Yuri will pull through. It was great seeing Reiko and kageyama on their own this time without the Inspector being there. |
| I'm glad Yuri survived, Reiko and Kageyama, this episode is good, especially the butler's quote at the end, the most sensible thing I've heard. |

| @KANLen09 Miyuki was kidnapped, it's even shown during the conversation and yes, I agree Doi is unnecessary. |
| Another 1 episode case? Well, that was unexpected, I thought we were getting these last 2 episodes about 1 case only. About the case itself, I must say that it wasn't that amazing. It was your typical "woman stabs another woman for marrying the man she loved and played with her", when Yuri had 0 to do with that, and was, in fact, just going to be another victim. Kotoe should have helped her, instead of stabbing her. But oh well, the human mind. But yeah, this setting is really similar to the one in episode 1/2. Nothing revolutionary. The greatest thing of this episode was the comedic side, because I found this episode to be one of funnier ones. The way Kageyama "spilled the beans" about Reiko was really funny. That and Reiko telling Miyuki to not call her an auntie. The funny thing, is that when they showed Kotoe for the 1st time, I was really like "I don't know what's going to happen, but she's the culprit", and I was absolutely right. Didn't even need the crime to happen to know who the culprit was. However, I feel like this case was really rushed and badly explained. Why did Yuri's brother ask for Kotoe when he entered the room (since he knew she was there), and then didn't mention he saw her in the room with his sister? Like, what? Or was he asking because he saw Kotoe leaving the room? Anyways, WHY DIDN'T HE SAY THAT? Also, they really didn't want us to think for this case, since the resolution of the case was like 3 minutes, and all the evidences were things we couldn't even notice (the name thing for me personally would be super hard, because I barely remember the character names by the end of the episode). The fact that they do this takes joy of a series like this, where the most fun comes from trying to discover who the culprit is, or what really happened. But I feel like this case only had 2 purposes: one of them was highlighting the relationship between a buttler and his "master", and introduce the next case, that is still about the same family. So overall, I'm disappointed with the direction this anime is going for the finale. I thought we would get a more robust case for the end, but it seems we are just getting rushed cases left and right. This episode was even worse than the last one in regards to the outcomes of the crime, something this anime usually did well. I already had a score thought out for this anime, but after these last 2 episodes, I'm starting to doubt if I shouldn't lower it a bi. And I don't think this last episode is going to amazing either, seeing how much content they are cutting and rushing. Seeing the feedback of people who watched the live action really helps to understand how much potential this anime could have, if they just didn't focus on presenting so many cases, and just decided on just a few, but develop them really well, and have time for some character development. Really not the best direction decision. I think they are making this love with a lot of willingness, seeing how many details it has, even with a lower budget, but I think this decision certainly lowered the level of the anime, especially of what it could be. Anyways, I'm sad it's already ending for next week, but at the same time, seeing how the anime seems to be on a downward spiral, maybe it's for the better. Either way, I always have a good time with it! Edit: Forgot to mention, but it was also cool we got an episode more focused on Reiko and Kageyama, with Detective Kazamatsuri out playing golf. But detective Doi being a copy of him, and finding him has his inspiration was, in fact, really funny to. As I said, one of the main reasons I ended up enjoying this episode was due to the comedy, that was certainly the strongest trait of this episode. |

| I like that the case was contained in one episode. It just seemed a bit underwhelming. Also Kageyama is gay coded, at least in the anime. Her love interest wears white and literally took a bullet for her XD |

Reply to ajw215799
Why introduce a new character who is an even bigger idiot than Kazamatsuri?
| @ajw215799 My words. 😮💨 This File was a rather decent case and I appreciated the times when Kagayama and Reiko had conservations on a nearly same level. It was obvious that it wouldn’t be the end of it, now that Yuri got kidnapped it seems like there’s more than meets the eye. I was glad that Kazamatsuri wasn’t around but then there was this look-a-like copycat detective. 🫠 I’m fed up with those shallow thinking, egocentric behavior and the lack of common sense and any detective skills. All the drama and screaming when confronted with her stupidity is really nerve wracking. Well, just one episode left and I hope that there will be a somewhat passable ending. If it weren’t for the cases and the butler, I would have already stopped after the first few seconds. |

| Is that pleasant flirting, teasing and romantic chemistry that I see? One episode before the end no less. Only the "Oujo-sama🎵" was so sensual. How dare you, show, how dare you indeed. |
    |
| Perfect twist! Glad to be back on the unhinged cases after some episodes, since the VTuber case. Really can’t wait for how it’ll conclude in the next and final episode! |
| I think this is a pretty good show, but I also think this episode was the worst of the ones that have aired thus far. Not so much because it was solved really quickly, but because the motive doesn't really make sense to me. So, the old lady is pissed that the girl's new husband took advantage of her. Why would she stab the girl who, presumably, was also manipulated by her then-boyfriend? You don't necessarily need logic to murder someone, but, unless I missed something, this crime makes no sense. Or, at least, the motive makes no sense. The method made sense, at least. Also, the old lady stabbed someone. How in the world does that not immediately lead to charges of attempted murder regardless of what the victim's family wants? |

@SithSteel The old lady was the guy's previous conquest, she should have been mad at the guy, but seeing the girl so happy in wedding dress made the woman's blood boil because it should have been her in white, so she lashed out at the wrong person.
That she got out of punishment is really just a message how money and social standing can get you anything.

| @Mimi_Violet I suppose so. I still find it to be pretty unsatisfactory. |
