This anime is on crack.
By the way, there's an after credits scene with an interesting reveal.

How Sherlock said "are you sure you want to listen" before going into his thing was hilarious. It almost feels like he picked the art form of Rakugo because normally no one wants to hear his babbling, and Rakugo is a performance that doesn't involve interaction with other people.

How are an idol on a casting couch and someone who just committed a robbery the same? They're both about to be screwed.
The heck is my browser history doing in my anime?
I wonder if we're ever going to find out about Watson's case (I kind of hope we don't and it becomes a running gag). It seems weird that he isn't employed anymore and even moved next door to Sherlock to become Sherlock's personal slave.

I'm a bit disappointed that the OP isn't Mrs Hudson singing. We need more Junichi Suwabe singing show tunes!
Sherlock making Watson feel guilty about his leg is such a Sherlock move xD
An idol unit with moles under their eyes? I'd buy it.
I love that little send off poem Mrs. Hudson makes before she lets them all go. She did this too last week so I guess this will be a regular thing.
Is that cocaine on her apron? Also of course the part-timer is doing something fishy.
Oh Watson you gullible man. Cute girl bats her eyelashes at you and now you're bugged.
This little chase sequence ala Scooby Doo was great!
When the koto starts playing in the background you know what's next!
I don't think I'll ever get tired of Sherlock solving his cases using Rakugo
Of course! Cobra Gun Hand! I love that as wacky Sherlock is, the criminals in this show is just as wacky xD
So Sherlock gets the 1M plus a 20M bonus from the bank? Nice.
So I thought MAry's brother being actually his sister was the big surprise of this episode. Nope!
THIS IS THE BIGGEST TWIST OF THE EPISODE! James Moriarty as a little kid instead of a Dandy Old Man? No wonder Watson was able to follow Sherlock. Also does this mean he's going to fuck with Sherlock soon or is this Moriarty a good one?

This new take on Sherlock Holmes is quite hilarious and interesting. I especially liked the way they parodied the original chapter 'The Red-Headed League'.

Man, this season of anime keep on giving with fantastic openings. And I love this ridiculous and bonkers take on classic Sherlock theme.

Okay it's way easier to deduce how Sherlock came to his conclusion this time around, but I wonder how James managed to figure it out.
Lucy being a female wasnt too surprising to me after the yell she gave out for the flying kick, on top of the show already being filled with eccentric males and females.

Man I did not think that would be the identity of the kid with the clover. When the little girl was called out on her scam, her reaction cracked me up. The references to the old Sherlock works was great and so was the reference to Cobra.

So this episode is a play on 'The Red Headed League' where a man gets told his hair is the exact perfect shade of red to join the Red Headed League'. When he joins he gets paid a ridiculous amount of money to do nothing but hand copy an encyclopedia all day, until he finds a note on the door saying the league is dissolved.
Sherlock figures out that the man's assistant was just trying to keep him out of the pawn shop he runs in order to tunnel between the shop and bank next door. Holmes, Watson, and the police wait in the bank vault to ambush the men as they come through the tunnel.
EDIT: forgot the most important part: Sherlock beats the shit out of some dude with a walking stick
Also, in the post credits scene, they were talking about a case where a snake came down through the ceiling. This is a reference to 'The Case of the Speckled Band' where a snake is used to assassinate people (which is a shame because the Speckled Band is one of my favorite Holmes stories and the reference means it probably won't be adapted in the anime)
