You rarely get a murderer who killed for cold, hard cash.

Somehow, the writers of these series have a fondness for a particular plot-motif, which tend to make the murderer standout in a crowd of suspects. Yozaburo Kanari mastered that like no other.

I'll guess will be seeing more of the Detective Conan anime on this blog in the near future. <br /><br />By the way, I have post scheduled for the 24th that you'll find very interesting. :)TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-1571302404378933812018-04-16T08:32:37.987+02:002018-04-16T08:32:37.987+02:00Finally got around to my blog reading backlog! You...Finally got around to my blog reading backlog! You already told me you loved the episode, so few surprises here of course ;P You might want to check out some other episodes by the same screenplay writer. I already discussed the excellent three-parter 603-605. The two-parter 91-92 was okay-ish. <br /><br />And while not by the same writer, you might also want to check out episodes 203-204, which features a return of the Cursed Masks most popular original characters!Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-44377983878739300682018-04-11T08:12:18.468+02:002018-04-11T08:12:18.468+02:00"...also what happened to the second part of ..."<i>...also what happened to the second part of the(i inversed the word to not give away the tiny spoiler) "citsale"?</i>"<br /><br />I'm not going to elaborate on that too much, because it would spoil the fun for others, but during the reconstruction only one of them was cut. And if you skip back a couple of minutes to the start of the reconstruction, you can see how the whole trick was tied together. So the answer is that it was definitely no longer in the room.<br /><br />"<i>anyways, i am so glad you reviewedd this locked room mystery. i needed a great solution after the dud that was "the fair murder" by nicholas brady.</i>" <br /><br />You're selling <i>The Fair Murder</i> short. I warned in my review that the book should not be read purely as an impossible crime novel. The strength of that story lay in the back-story of the victim and the motive of the murderer, which made it a wonderfully dark detective story. <br /><br />"<i>are you considering doing a best of list of anime locked room mysteries? or just detective conan?</i>"<br /><br />A list of best anime/manga locked room mysteries is probably something Ho-Ling should do. He's far more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to that corner of the genre and has access to more material. <br /><br />"<i>i have seen "Subete ga F ni Naru: The Perfect Insider" and it has a good locked room too and i am curious to see your reaction when you witness the solution. it was also adapted in a j-drama series which summarized the whole anime in one episode. you can find english subs online.</i>"<br /><br />I'll keep that one in mind, but I finally want to get around to <i>Hyouka</i>, which has a couple of impossible crime episodes.
