2016-01-25 12

....TOKIKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - LAPLACE WENT SO HARD!!!! - Event though the slow burn to destruction was predictable with Kagamis descent into depravity IT WAS PRESENTED IN A STUNNING WAY (much applause for lerche - the stylization/art and direction are is superb. THIS EPISODE DELVED DEEPLY INTO THE QUESTIONS OF MORALITY AND JUSTICE - as well as showcased the evil that lurks within the human heart - Im sorry but honestly I cant even fault Kagami.and Im lowkey glad Watanuki got shanked \r
TWENTY FACES MYSTERY BUILDS EVEN GREAT WITH AKECHI & BUTTERFLY SYMBOLISM\r
Edogawa Rampo would be proud\r
\r
Episode 4:\r
BLACK LIZARD IS ON THAT TWISTED PSYCHOTIC YANDERE S&M STATUS (.she straight up pissed herself getting off to Akechi.such a freak BUT I LIKE HER!) - TWENTY FACES IS ON SOME KIRA MEETS SAW S*** - Halfway through the episode I anticipated that reveal so it was that shocking - I dont think Twenty Faces is fully resolved though and it should be an overarching case \r
Akechi finally starting to go in - KOBAYASHI ON THAT GOD MODE TRAP LEVEL\r
No lie a small part of me wanted twenty faces to destroy Watanuki\r
\r
Episode 3:\r
SACHIKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - AKECHI W/ THAT KICK TO THE CHEST! - KAGE OTOKO & WATATSUKI BOTH TOP TIER LOLICON - Kage Otoko is a pretty dope character and since he genuinely cares about these girls and has no perverted intent hes alright by me\r
KOBAYASHI GOING FULL TRAP MODE! - HASIBAS BEEN ENSNARED (THE MAN WILL NEVER BE RELEASED FROM HIS ATTRACTION TO KOBAYASHI) = dudes about to join the 10 grand kings of trap\r
\r
Episode 2:\r
THIS EPISDOE WAS BEAUTIFUL - THE DIRECTION, STYLIZATION, SYMBOLISM & ANIMATION/ART CREATE SUCH A BEAUTIFULY WARPED AND TWISTED PSYCHOLOGICAL/HORROR AIR WITH THIS MYSTERY SERIES.this is definitely steeped in the style of THE GREAT EDOGAWA RAMPO - Lerche is going in\r
KOBAYASHI IS DEF GONNA ENTER THE 10 GRAND KINGS OF TRAP (among the likes of Gasper and Totsuka) his trap powers are based af (i.e. the twisted huamn chair sensei and Hashiba) \r
For those hating on the series for this exact reason.wow - I def realize the darker and twisted elements of this series might put ppl of but Kobayashi please (yes he suffers from some psychosis.but hes genuis tier) \r
HYPE FOR EPISODE 3!\r
\r
Episode 1:\r
ahh inspired by the works of Edogawa Ranpo (so dope)\r
MYSTERY/DETECTIVE sub horror SERIES = F*** YES! - KOBAYASHI IS A TAD INSANE BUT I LIKE THE DUDE (wasnt feeling his effeminate demeanor at first but his deductive prowess drew me in) - cant wait to see how he develops - AKECHI IS OG!\r
The symbolism and stylistic choices that Kishi and lerche are implementing are nice as well. This series could either end up super generic or a shining gem depending on how its handled and how deep and psychologically provoking the cases/mysteries are\r
