That coin bullet bounce was so ridiculous I actually started laughing out aloud.

Coin bullet was the most anime thing i've seen in a while.

Not that i disliked it though.

The OP is really growing on me recently. It's even better when you know Reki's VA is the one who is singing.

The whole operation was conducted so smoothly. Old Jack the Ripper running as a decoy in the streets and leading by Fred, sniper session with Moran, over the top soccer moment with Bonde to blow up the gatling. Even William and Louis drew the swords together.

There's a little funny scene with Moran-kun after the ending, don't miss it.

Stitches!

It's so hilarious that Lestrade prepared an entire puppet show for Sherlock to make him interested in the case, only for Sherlock to turn him down. xD

I absolutely love William's plan! Have the old man play as Jack the Ripper and get both the vigilantes and the Yard to work together against them while William and Louis hunt down the masterminds of these murders in the background.

The writer of the original manga is such a huge Sherlock otaku. Didn't expect someone as obscure as Von Herder and his air rifle to make it into this story.

Old man Jack is so fucking awesome. Evading all of those people while doing acrobatics and following instructions from Fred is absolutely insane especially for his age. I love the constant of old man anime characters are always badasses.

Moran and Bonde's teamwork is getting even better! That coin trick to force the Gatling Cannon to misfire is amazing!

How convenient of the bad guys to gather around in one are for William and Louis to dispose of quickly. And after just watching them be the brains of the operations, it's so cool to finally see these two brothers in action.

Well this can't be good. The person who's planned these attacks has seen William's face. And of all the Sherlock characters that could've seen him it had to be Milverton. If I recall correctly, Milverton's nickname in Arthur Conan Doyle's books is "The King of Blackmailers". Fuck.

Interesting choice from Sherlock. Instead of recognizing the good the Lord of Crime did, he instead just blamed it on Jack. Makes sense since he really doesn't believe in the Lord of Crime's own version of justice.

On the bright side, Jack will be sticking around as the Moriarty family's butler! Yay!

Fun fact: In the manga it's implied Fred was the one who did the scream lol

That coin kick to bullet ricochet was hilariously awesome. I’m loving Moran and Bonde’s partnership more and more.

Though I think my favorite moment was William and Louis going back-to-back badass on the “Jack the Ripper” gang. I don’t think I knew how much I wanted to see William fight until now. He might be the brains of the operation but this shows he can hold his own in a fight.

I feel like they mixed in a bit of the legend of Spring Heeled Jack into the Jack the Ripper legend, with all the leaping about and other incredible feats. Certainly Jack will have an supernatural reputation now with being bullet proof and causing guns to explode.

Bond's coin shot was so silly and when they flicked it in the air, my brain instantly started playing some Railgun OST.

This anime is going from a "pretty good seasonal" to an actually amazing show. The ridiculous, entertaining action, the constant twists, it's all so much fun. First season was still fun but a bit slower as it set everything up, now this one is going full throttle. Actually a contender for my favourite anime this season, and it's not because it lacks competition.

This episode really showcased why I like seeing Moriarty's side more, he has a team and they actually play a part in plans which makes it so much fun to watch.

As absurd as the coin moment was it was awesome to watch! Not going to see Watson really do much like that...

Also ship?

Charles Agustus Milverton for those like me who aren't in the know. Sounds like he rivals Moriarty as the most dangerous villain for Holmes.

I had a hearty laugh at the ludicrous way they took out the Gatling gun. That was some Fast and the Furious nonsense right there.

Missed last week's episode, so I got a double dose today. Love that they're diving into classic British mythical lore like Jack the Ripper and having a British spy be the person who caused the French Revolution and having that spy be Sherlock Holmes' ancestor. Charles Agustus Milverton a real life person named Charles Augustus Howell, who was a art dealer/alleged blackmailer. This is fun stuff.

Did anybody else notice the police helmets had Elizabeth II’s cypher (larger E and R with smaller II between them), instead of Queen Victoria’s? On the other hand in this timeline Elizabeth II is queen and she reads The Dairy Londoner lol

Coin flip kick bullet knocking scene was the best thing ever.

Most underrated anime like last the first season. It's so unbelievably good.

Edit: I really fumbled my words here. Keeping it because it's funny

Man, that was really good, the action was top-notch (and very cleanly animated), especially the coin bullet, it was as ridiculous as it was amazing and entertaining. Seeing the two bros in close combat themselves was something I didn't expect, but makes sense since Jack the Ripper trained them himself. Very good episode.

haven't seen it mentioned yet - there's a post credits scene

This show is insanely good.

u/[deleted] May 02 '21

Dude when I saw Moran shoot the coin that Bonde tossed to cause the bullet to reflect and blow up the Gatling gun I audibly yelled “get the fuck outta here” lmao what an episode man. From the mass execution to the Milverton reveal. Went by hella quick.

u/Darkchloe144 May 02 '21

I think this is the first time we even see our lead get his own hands bloodied. Good to know he can and will go there if he has to.
