Mannnnnnn what an episode. This might end up in my top 10 ngl. This show just gives me a feeling I haven’t had in a while.

Lot to go over in this episode. First of all, I really appreciate the variance that these cases have. I really did not think Alma would be the werewolf. Yea she had the sus fake art school backstory, but I thought that would be classic misdirection and it would be the doctor. That golden werewolf that she described must’ve been something related to her powers then? Something still just feels like it’s missing.

Aya said last week that she basically already knew who the culprit was, but that was before she knew about Alma IIRC, so are there multiple culprits? Someone framing her? I find it odd that we only see her silhouette thru the window instead of her actual body. Combined with the aforementioned stuff and I think we got a misdirection. Can’t wait to find out next week.

The Sakuga during the fight with “Alma” was awesome. When this show does action, it really does it well. The Lupin fight a few weeks ago was great too.

Yooo that Aya and Tsuguru make out session was steamy as hell 💀 Even stoic Shizuku had to break it up. Think that’s only the first time since the first episode that we’ve seen that. So it’s a regular mana sharing type gimmick? Need more of that lmao.

Speaking of Shizuku, damn. No way she’s dead but that was a very risky move putting herself on the line like that to save Aya. Probably would’ve been a better idea to sit her cage somewhere a safer distance away so that the rampaging werewolf didn’t knock it sky high. But active battle and all, I get it.

Kyle and the pistol girl are interesting additions to the cast. Really love her crass way of speaking lol.

So it was a misdirection! I knew it was too simple for it to have been Alma that was the killer. But then who could it be? Lot of us thought that wasn’t really Alma transforming since we only saw her silhouette but that body was definitely her.

Someone’s killing humans and werewolves alike. That shot of gustav walking was designed to make him suspicious but I’m not convinced it’s him either. He seemed pretty distraught seeing all the carnage and destruction at the village at the end of the episode.

Wait so since they forgot her underwear, Shizuku’s gonna be fighting commando? Nice. Never ceases to make me laugh how Tsugaru will just make the most innocent comment to her and she’ll snap after being all docile to Aya just seconds before 😂 did he really deserve to get poked in the eye lmao.

Louise’s parents are pieces of shit for abandoning their daughter in a damn forest as a little kid. Can’t even imagine what goes thru someone’s head to do such a thing to a human being YOU created.

Don’t really feel bad about Tsugaru taking out Dennis and the others considering they wouldn’t listen to reason and were hellbent on killing anyone who entered the village. Was a pretty brutal defeat for them though.

Mommy dommy Carmilla back and we get more yuri bait fanservice lol. She took out most of the girls in the village, damn. Poor Kaya ain’t know what hit her

While the guards and the village head were kind of assholes, I feel bad about the innocent villagers getting massacred essentially by Royce, Banquet and the regular humans. They’re caught in the crossfire of a battle that’s got nothing to do with them 🤦🏽‍♂️seeing those people get their heads bashed in by a chain was crazy

Looks like Aya’s got things figured out so excited to find out just who’s behind everything next week in the finale.

YOOO SHIZUKU YURI SCENE?

Damn a village full of hot werewolf waifus? Sign me tf up.

Really good episode as usual. it’s cool to see Shizuku on her own having to plan out and navigate a tricky situation. With the kidnapping and murder situation it’s understandable that the village is apprehensive about any human presence, but this all but confirms that it’s someone deliberately instigating conflict between the two villages.

Human girls are also being found murdered. What’s the end goal? A war between the two? Who wins in that case? It can’t be banquet since they don’t know where the village is. Maybe retaliation for that original flashback?

Like how Shizuku and the girls bonded over some tea. Putting those maid abilities to good use lol. Such a contrast between how confident and bold she is with Aya and Tsugaru vs how she interacts with others.

I don’t quite get why Nora got upset after Shizuku asked her that question though. Did she think Shizuku was insinuating they weren’t trying hard or that there was foul play? Sucks that decision led to her death. If they all stayed together she’d still be alive.

Figured there’d probably be some complication with getting Shizuku out the village, but damn didn’t expect it would be because of someone being clumsy and titling the carriage causing the hay to fall out lol.

Regi being suspicious of any human visitor is understandable. Especially when they told her that Shizuku had a gun 🤦🏽‍♂️ fear motivates people to do irrational things and putting on the scaffolding is a perfect example of that. No matter what she said they were never going to believe her. Nora’s murder probably saved her life tbf.

Damn Banquet would come at the worst possible moment 🤦🏽‍♂️ can’t get any more inconvenient than climbing the edge of a cliff. Literal cliffhanger ending to the episode. Can’t wait for next week!

Man I am loving the mystery solving aspect of this show. It’s so cool hopping all around Europe solving legendary mysteries. Lupin, Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes, Watson, Rindo etc all in the same arc is insane. This is definitely going to be a long one and I can’t wait to see it unfold. So many big personalities lol.

Lupin is likely already in the vault which is how he’ll get the diamond, but how is the big question. Rindo ended the episode by dropping the hint of Ishikawa Goemon who was essentially the Japanese Robin Hood. Very interesting.

Direction and quality of this series continue to be top notch and make even dialogue heavy episodes go by in the blink of an eye.

Well, a top 3 show of summer 2023 comes to a close and what a ride it’s been. This show simply put, just hit different and had an air of mysticism and fantasy to it that you don’t see a lot these days.

I think the combination of the somewhat modern setting and the magical elements along with the amazing cast were the big reasons. Also the fact it was adapted from a proper novel where writing tends to be more mature. I’m gonna miss Aya and Tsugaru jokes on Wednesdays 😭

Onto the episode itself, had a little of everything that makes this series so good. The shorter runtime concerned me a little at first, but the decision to open with the OP theme during a sakuga display was really cool. Carmilla and Shizuku in particular was awesome.

There’s so much unsaid sexual tension between the two of them that comes through in every scene. They paid off the fact that Shizuku wasn’t wearing underwear in a pretty funny way too. Carmilla lucky af for getting that view lmao.

And the culprit finally revealed! Wow what a twist, again, the author has such a good way of subverting expectations. I would’ve never imagined it was Jute masquerading as Nora. It makes sense now how Nora reacted when Shizuku suggested it could be an inside job. Alma, the doctor, etc., all misdirections. Aya’s walkthrough of the case put everything into perspective and is a riveting tale of deception. Masterclass from Jute really.

Her hatred of both villages is understandable I can’t lie. Her mother got screwed over by her own people and then the humans didn’t even want them. Even Louise supported her in her quest for revenge. She would’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t for those meddling kids 😂

I love how creative the final fight between Tsugaru and Nora was. Using that unique sketch style animation in the dark was cool. I don’t mind them letting her off because she was a victim tbh. Neither the human village nor the werewolf village were safe for her, but if Moriarty and banquet are after her DNA for the chimera, idk how safe it is for her to be on her own. I guess in a way since her location is now random it’s better than travelling with the party, but still…

Either way, awesome finale. Awesome show and I can’t wait to read the books
