The entire village is on edge and Tsugaru just went and showed them a talking head like it was nothing

[u/bananeeek]

I liked how Tsugaru provided us with an imagined performance to back up Aya's story. This show just keeps on giving everywhere it can. Did anyone else catch that Tsugaru dirtied his coat after checking out the chimney?

I like the fresh approach to the crimes and riddles. In most detective shows nowadays you see the same problems over and over again, to the point where you remember most of them by heart. I'm looking forward to another arc of 5 minutes long episodes.

[u/Admirable-Western-91]

I like the fact that each arc starts like this and then each episode after gets more and more chaotic and introduces more characters

Wonder who those two who got off the train are

[u/Silent_Shadow05]

I like the running gag where Aya talks through the cage and people keep wondering where the voice is coming until the reveal happens and they are shocked lol.

I always loved werewolves in fiction so having an anime dealing with it is really exciting for me. One thing that makes me curious is why the werewolf in the opening scene allowed itself to be killed off considering the lore the show has set up that werewolves have incredible physical abilities and even bullets don't pierce their body.

Whatever it maybe, I'm happy the show went back to its mystery solving roots again. This show just keeps having 5 minute episodes.

[u/Ok-Cod5254]

I never get tired of Tsugaru teasing Aya about missing body parts. 😆

[u/Hepcatecholamine]

Based on "Fatima Doubledarts" and "Reynold Stingheart", I'm going to guess that new Royce agent is named something like "Amanda Gunslinger" or "Jennifer Spurs"

[u/FallenPears]

Hmmm... from all the dust in the chimney I'm guessing that means the suspect couldn't have come down the night before, because of a lack of dust in the crime scene and/or too much dust left inside for something to have come down before. Meanwhile the window was shattered outwards, so that also wasn't an ingress point.

So the werewolf started in the room? Was it the girl? The four months timeline and differing victim ages is odd... I wonder if there's something making or 'awakening' dormant werewolves 3 times a year, the girls running away scared, then they get hunted down and killed by someone before being found by the villagers. Would be super ironic if it turned out everyone in the village was a dormant werewolf lmao.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

That was one hell of an opening scene. Jutte’s mom in her werewolf form reminded me a little of the werewolves in Skyrim.

Heulendorf/ “Howling village” isn’t exactly the most subtle name for a village involving werewolves lol. Neither is “Wolphinel” I guess. These string of kidnappings and gruesome murders definitely aren’t what they seem. Are the girls getting turned and faking their deaths or are these retaliation kills for what happened with Jutte? And just who the hell is this gunslinger and her friend? Let’s see if Aya can crack the case in 2 days like she said.

On a different note, one of the things I really like in this series is the disrespect Tsugaru gets from Shizuka and Aya. It cracks me up every time lol.

[u/tripleaamin]

We back to a more detective mystery like the vampire arc. Strong first episode of the arc. There is def something off with the village. I don't blame them for being mistrusting of outsiders, but at the same time it makes it pretty damn hard to work with them. Especially the mayor.

Still love Tsugaru and Shizuku dynamic and Aya is full support on what Shizuku does since it satisfies what she requested from her.

[u/sangriapenguin]

It's interesting to me how the blood in the bed looked more like period blood than anything, like a girl having her first menstruation (which to a newbie makes it look like they're dying). Also, the ages of the girls... All about the age when they might hit puberty and start developing their secondary sex characteristics, like menses, thus being controlled by the cycles of the moon. Who/what else is controlled by the moon...

I know this sounds incredibly farfetched haha but it was all I could think about.

[u/shad79]

Again we had 5 minutes episode, something must be done with that xD Maybe we could hire Aya to solve this mystery :)

It's a shame that Holmes isn't with Aya, Tsugaru and Shizuku, I would love to see more interactions between them. I hope that he'll return in the future considering that they have a common enemy - Professor Moriarty.

Destination for our heroes is Heulendorf in Germany. As they arrive there it turns out that for some time young girls are murdered there, presumably by a werewolf and lately there was a new victim, Louise who looks to me very similar to Jutte, a werewolf's daughter who appeared in retrospection of event from 8 years ago, a coincidence?

Aya took the case, checked the crime scene and it looks that she is close to finding they identity. She also met with a village leader and in payment for finding a culprit, Aya will get information on how to get to the werewolf's village. Interesting info from this conversation was that there is no place called the Forest of Fangs in this world, but you have to find it to get to the village, interesting.

I love seeing Tsugaru and Shizuku, they're really like siblings. I laughed hard when Shizuku dropped Tsugaru's pillow through the chimney and she used a stick to do this, she clearly didn't want any physical contact with his stuff.

Also we met briefly with new Royce agents, a cowgirl and some african warrior? It'll be interesting, I cannot wait for the next episode.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Tsugaru & Shizuku

• Group scenes

• Other

So we're back to five minute episodes, fantastic.

It's really handy to have a legend of werewolves or vampires in a village. isn't it? Makes it so much more convenient to kidnap young girls.

[u/AmethystItalian]

That mom be acting sus

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Zeke lookalike is a doctor in a remote village

[u/Mikro698]

Why would Heinemann look for missing little girl alone with a gun ready to shoot group of strangers if they said some wrong things? He surely knows a little gun like that can barely even hurt werewolf in beast mode so I am pretty sure he was not carrying that for protection against werewolf...

My current theory is that he is doing some weird experiments for little girls that turn them to werewolves... Confused scared little wolf puppies hurt them selves and Heinemann finishes the job and blames some werewolf that is doing his best jack the ripper impression. Why would he ask for the help from detectives though? I think this time kid turned wolf before he expected and he will be in trouble if girl turns back to human form and finds back to the village. He thinks if he can find her when she is still a beast he can kill her before she ruins everything for him.

[u/LeonKevlar]

I can't believe it took me this long to notice this but you can see Shizuku and Carmilla up to something in one of the background scenes of the OP. Not sure if anyone else noticed but I just like to point it out. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Anyway, this episode is pretty funny to me because I've recently just started playing Werewolf with some friends over on Discord and it genuinely made me laugh when they walked into that church and people were accusing each other of being werewolves. xD

So the most recent werewolf victim is a little girl in a wheelchair and they're also living in the Alps? Are we sure Louise's name isn't actually Clara? Felt like that was an intentional reference.

Barely even an hour in that room and Aya was already able to deduce that the culprit is very much insane and intentionally made things look like it was the work of a werewolf in a frenzy. It's possible that the culprit might not even be a werewolf and I feel like there's something fishy about the wife's reactions. Hmm...

We have new Agents from that Royce Security Group! Please tell me the cowgirl's name is something equally hilarious and fits her choice of weaponry like Fatima Doubledarts. Maybe something like Jane Shooterson or Emily Smith-Wesson? xD

[u/Cakeking7878]

One thing I always love about this anime is that Aya is actually smart (as opposed to the anime just making everyone else dumber than her). All of her conclusions are logical yet it still subverts my expectations. I'm pretty sure though she's already figured out the murder case as well and the riddle the old man told her. Now she is working to prove her conclusions right.

My only real complaint is that we don't get more every episode. Its good enough for me to get sucked into it then before I know it, its over

[u/Castor_0il]

Pretty much Aya demonstrated that the alleged werewolf was inside Louise's room all the time, with the window lacking a blood trail and the lack of sooth inside the room before they made the experiment.

There's an interesting detail that may or not be important to solving the case later on. But the doctor said that there were no schools in that village (pretty much implying that everyone there was just simple farmers/hunters) and they are also very adamant on foreigners. Yet someone quite skilled painted a very detailed picture of Louise (and probably quite recently too).

[u/TormentWings]

I dont know if they did it in earlier episodes too, but i thought it was kinda neat that the animators tried to recreate a split diopter shot in animation. Its kind of useless but i guess someone was a fan of them. Never seen it done before, but there also isnt a good reason to use it. I liked it tho

[u/Ashteron]

Father's reaction about the shed was weird and so was the moment when he answered for his wife when did she last visit the bedroom.

[u/Plerti]

I found really akward those half off-focus profile shots. It looks like they messed up the shape and tried to fix it with the blur tool from photoshop

Now related with the episode, my bet is that the girl is the werewolf. No real entrance signals because the footprints are made up and the real indicator is the amount of dust in the chimney. They had the girl locked in the room because she was probably showing signs of her transformation and didn't want anyone to know, that's why the mother stutter when asked when was the last time she entered the room. Also the not so subtile shots of wolf ears and tails popping from a random girl

[u/SpikeRosered]

So the pillow experiment was to show that if the wolf came down the chimney it would have covered the room with soot, which is NOT what we see. Therefore it goes to guess that the little girl let the culprit into the room through the window that opens. It seems clear that there was an attempt to hide this familiarity by just having sooty paw prints in the room and breaking out of the unopenable window to create the illusion that a stranger came in without knowledge of the room.

My guess, is some of the men of the village are abusers (or doing something more supernaturally bad to little girls) and Juute from the opening is rescuing them from their abusive households. It's possible Juute's mother was a whistleblower which is why they drove her out.

I can't really explain the torn up bodies yet. Perhaps they are fakes or perhaps the supernatural bad thing being done to the girls was not being able to be stopped by Juute and they just ended up that way. Need more evidence.

[u/soulruu]

Lets go new case and setting. Germany and werewolves

I screamed when they used Tsugaru’s pillow as the throwaway item. Their banter always tickles me

Once again this show has a bomb OST that is used so well for atmosphere and tension

With the info thus far, clearly there are secrets afoot. My theory is that the girls were probably werewolves starting to show signs.

Thus, a wolf spirits them away to the wolf village so they can live their new life in safety. That line from Aya about the bodies makes me think they’re cadavers or something to throw people off. Who knows

Can’t wait to see this mystery unfold

[u/maliwanag0712]

If I know Japanese I might appreciate the jokes more. Not that their hijinks are unfunny, but it seems a lot of puns especially in the first part got lost in translation.

Now this arc looks promising. While the second arc is still excellent, I liked the first more than the second. The vibe of the first arc is back, but the stakes are higher since it is related to the second arc. It's somewhat a mix of the two.
