KOBAYASHI BODY PILLOWS = 10 GRAND KINGS OF TRAP 8th SEAT CONFIRMED!\r
DAMN.ALL THE SYMBOLISM AND BUILD UP OF LAPLACE COMES TOGETHER WITH THIS EPISODE (I hope that the final arc still has elements of this plot line and Akechis goal or the ending may fall flat) - NAMIKOSHI & AKECHIS BACKSTORY WAS SO WELL DONE\r
Panorama Island Conclusion was also handled so well w/ the with how stylized it was (clearly the shining aspect of Lerches ability when it comes to this series)\r
IF ANYONE CAN EXPOUND ON CHAOS THEORY/LAPLACES DEMON CONCEPTS PLEASE FEEL FREE (my knowledge of it is limited to film, brief research and series like Steins;Gate & Chaos;Head etc.)\r
\r
Episode 7:\r
STRANGE TALE OF PANORAMA ISLAND JUST SHOT UP MY RAMPO READING LIST - LERCHE GOING IN = MOST STYLIZED SERIES THIS SEASON - THIS EPISODE WAS ON SOME SATOSHI KON/ERGO PROXY VIBE! - This series is truly rooted in the spirit of Edogawas work and generally executed with such a unique element\r
AKECHIS PERCEPTION IS AWESOME - KOBAYASHI.10 GRAND KINGS OF TRAP 9TH SEAT CONFIRMED (the man brough a f***in swim suit!) - Hashiba bro youll never escape the trap - 20 faces case continues to build with this closed room murder\r
Thoughts?\r
\r
Episode 6:\r
BEST BOY KAGE OTOKO IS BACK! (that scene of him lurking on the little girls tho.= 9th TIER LOLICON! + GRAND KING OF TRAP KOBAYASHI - BL BRO KOBAYASHI - AKECHI THE PILL POPPING BABY LOVING CAT HATING DETECTIVE - SUPER M BLACK LIZARD + an abandoned baby, abandoned cat & extremists = AMAZING BLACK COMEDY! - such a stark tone shift from episode 5 (but still amazing) - I WANNA KNOW WHAT KAGE OTOKO RENTED TO WATCH! - Will Nakamura fall into depravity as well? \r
This series is perfectly in line with Edogawa Rampos spirit - I highly urge those who enjoy laplace to read some of his work\r
\r
Episode 5:\r
....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
Thoughts/Predictions?
