We are almost at the tail-end of the second season. Uncovering information about Ron’s past. If you are curious, this episode will tackle the Chapters 39 and 40. Just how many panels they will cover is the question.

At the auberge 'Reunion' located in the lush green plateau, various invited guests had gathered. During dinner, a course meal prepared by Chef Sakai was served, but everyone except Ron, Toto, and the high school student Mia could not hide their dismay at the menu. The next morning, the gardener, Gardner, was found dead in his room..."

Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions Episode 24 Review - The Man With The Crescent Moon Mark

If you drink, play a drinking game every time ‘Seventeen years ago’ is spoken in this episode. You’ll probably be hospitalized by the end. I don’t drink, so I’m being tormented by those three words with or without alcohol. Anyways, after watching this episode, I can see a very clear moral for this case: don’t trust people on the internet; you may one day be involved with a crime syndicate if you do. That’s why they always warn you to be wary of them.

Now with the reveal of a third murder, I think this case has the highest body count so far; please correct me if I’m wrong. It’s like a increase in difficulty level compared to the observatory case. I do see some similarities with that case with this one in that Ron is suspected of being the killer, but we all know he’s not. With the people in this case being involved with the Jim Gore murder case seventeen years ago, I do think that, if you narrow down the possible suspects, Tiger Dan is the definite culprit. Why I think is because he’s the one that started the cycle of how the murder start meaning that he’s the most unreliable. He says that he met the man with the crescent moon mark on the Internet, met Jim Gore and that’s how it all transpired, but he could easily be lying. Maybe he was working with the man. It’s like a game of telephone. Someone will always mess it up, and it’s usually the second person. If the man with the crescent moon mark is the one who talked to Tiger Dan, then Tiger Dan is the second person in the long line of murder telephone.

Like the observatory case, Ron gets into trouble and Toto has to step up. This time, Ron learns about his possible connection to the man with the crescent moon mark and it turns out to be his father Eliot Moriarty. Excuse me? Did you say Moriarty? Yes! Ron finally learns that half of his blood is from the Moriarty family. This shocks him so hard mentally that he becomes catatonic, so Toto has to lug him around and later stepping up to be the one to solve the case. Ron always believed Eliot died before his birth, but that’s not the case. There’s still a fragment of his memory that’s missing and Eliot revolves around it. All Ron can remember is that Eliot showed him many different methods of crimes. They all seem brutal, despite him using dummies. Did Eliot traumatize Ron in some way? I heard that the brain has a mysterious power to erase a memory that causes him pain, so I assume something revolving around Eliot traumatized him so much that it was wiped from his memories. That’s probably it. Poor Ron, though. Learning he’s half-Moriarty was definitely NOT in his bingo card.

Though, there is something I’m curious about. Why was Mia invited to the auberge and not her mother? Did her mom die before the story? I think it’s rather cruel to make Mia, a seventeen-year-old girl be a part of the murder case, but that’s how the M family is—they’re cruel and show no mercy even to the young people. Also, given she’s Italian, is she half-English or was her mom on vacation at the time? I feel like the pregnant lady portion of the flashback is a little weird, but that’s just me.

It’s crazy how we only have two episodes left. Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions/Deranged Detective will be showcased for the upcoming Jump Festa. I wonder if they’ll announce Season 3… What are your thoughts on this episode?

take my quiz losers

[elbiotipo]

I tried Parkitect a couple times because I thought it would be fun to make a version of Didney Worl, but then I realized I don't know anything about theme parks because I've never been in a theme park. I've never ever been to a circus or even one of those travelling fairs with games.

and it turns out watching Defunctland videos doesn't give you the experience if you've never got in a roller coaster

Motivations:

Mia Dearden (Speedy)

She's so cool and deserves a comic book series that focuses on her more.

Justice League International

Get the team back together! Let them have goofy, heartfelt fun. BeaTora and Boostle can be canon and Max can have his original personality back.

Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions Episode 25 Review - Their Final Deduction

Hey, I got the culprit right! Though, it was very obvious because of his rather prolific voice actor, but I still got it right! However, what made me happier than getting the culprit right is the fact that Toto is more competent than he was back in the observatory case.

Heck, Toto feels more dependable than ever before. He’s the one trying to get Ron to get back into reality and was the one most hurt when Ron decided that this case would be their finale as a duo. He’s also the one trying to defend Ron from Karen’s accusations and what not. While Ron did pick up where he left off after a bit, it was still nice seeing Toto not be a blubbering idiot who can’t do anything without Ron. To be honest, when I saw these two touching each other, I was thinking they should’ve kissed. I’m still awaiting the day they do.

It’s sad seeing Ron be all dejected after learning about his father, Eliot Moriarty, but I know for a fact that he’s going to change his mind…if there’s a season 3 announced. Though, I still do think there is more to the memory of his father. There’s no way his father would teach him all about crime and was also willing to marry someone from the Holmes’ lineage if he was a bad guy. It’s also nice seeing catatonic Ron slowly getting the light back in his eyes when he sees Toto working so hard to solve the case. If that isn’t love, I don’t know what is.

I knew the flower in Lenny’s hand would be significant, given it’s a Tiger Lily. I do want to dance for joy, but I won’t. Who knew Lenny’s inability to speak Japanese would be a crucial clue? Also, remember back in Episode 23 where Tiger Dan was the one who was about to take the flower off of the victim’s hand, but Toto said to stop as it’d be tampering with the crime scene. I knew it was Tiger Dan the moment he tried doing that. The way Tiger Dan shifts his body language the moment he was exposed was great. He went from uncertain to smug and confident. He’s awfully calm about being exposed. His motive was to get Ron to realize his roots as a Moriarty and to stop sleuthing for good.

Other than the crime scene stuff, am I the only one who finds Karen Lily super annoying? No wonder her name is Karen. She’s been behaving like one the moment the crimes started happening with her accusations towards Ron and believing Ron and Toto are fakes. It’s actually surprising that she didn’t die and is still alive. Props to her voice actress for doing a splendid job making her annoying.

My only gripe is that there’s one thing about the crime scene that bugs me. Ron and Toto mention that the excessive flowers on Lenny’s corpse is due to Tiger Dan getting a balloon and popping it, which is the loud noise Karen heard. However, what caused the balloon to pop? His own hands? The ice pick? That part isn’t explained and that bugs me.

Next week is the finale, meaning crazy things will happen. What will happen? All I want next week is an announcement for season 3 because I want to see more RonToto and friends! Also, good news for Ron Kamonohashi fans, Anime News Network puts this show as one of the writers’ best animes for this season! I do think this is a step up in improvement from last season! All in all, what are your thoughts on this episode?

Arthur King — Changing Landscapes (Zompopa) (AKP)

Changing Landscapes (Zompopa) by Arthur King

The Zompopa, or leaf-cutter ant, lives in large, complex societies, organized into a caste system, with different types of ants taking on different roles in maintaining the colony. Like humans, they are agriculturalists, fertilizing and cultivating various types of fungus which, in turn, feeds their populations. Peter Walker — not the flamenco-influenced guitarist but the ambient composer from Los Angeles at the center of Arthur King — spent time in the Costa Rican rainforest, recording the sounds of this insect society. With David Ralicke and Mia Doi Todd, he then improvised music over these recordings for a haunting set of tracks.

Through Arthur King and other projects, Walker explores the act of listening as a spiritual practice. In an interview with 15Questions, he describes his affinity with the writings of Carl Jung. “Jung suggests that by aligning and opening our senses away from our usual, intellectual filter, we can experience the vast world of the unknown, the unconscious, and even the numinous,” he said.  Changing Landscapes (Zompopa) is, indeed, a deeply affecting listening experience, melding the twittering, chittering serenity of the tropical wild with angelic vocals (Mia Doi Todd in particularly lovely form), electronics and other instruments.

The disc begins in a lingering drone, the high wordless singing of Doi Todd floating weightlessly over it, a slow gathering of timbres coalescing in serenity and meditative contemplation. This is “La Reina” the cut dedicated to the ant colony’s queen, and it is very subtly laced with a high, scraping, percussive sound that must be some magnified version of the sound that Zompopa ants produce.

Walker is frank about the limits of entering an alien world through sound. We don’t hear what the ants hear because we’re not ants. We don’t have the same equipment for sensing vibration. And yet, there is something very immersive and foreign about these musical piece, even embellished as they are by recognizable human elements—blasts of synthesizer, delicate chimes and bells, even a saxophone wandering through these eerie landscapes. “March Into the Colony” stirs into action on a propulsive, glitch-like beat; you only realize in retrospect that its rhythms are constructed out of insect sounds. The long closer “Funeral de Zompopa” brings these sounds the furthest into the forefront, so that Doi Todd’s melodic musings and dream-like drifts of trumpet drift over a bed of intricate, unfamiliar scratchings.  

As humans, we don’t like ants very much. The idea of hundreds, thousands, even millions of them coordinated in their own purposeful existence, growing food, protecting against enemies, reproducing, might well give you the willies. Changing Landscapes (Zompopa) brings us into alignment with this strange, unexplored world and lets you feel connection with a species you might not have considered otherwise.
