A fight over a hardcore gamer in a game console hardware war?! What a troll!! I’ll start facepalming. But I see now how Kuko got dragged in since she’s a game maniac as well and that concept sounds like Sony vs Microsoft (Xoth 731(Xbox 360) vs. HS3(PS3)).

Nyaruko wants to sink her teeth into Mahiro? Hah, more like hooks. She set that scene like a rapist stalking the victim after dealing with the witnesses. I wouldn’t be surprised if she does rape him and it reminds me of what Kanbaru did to Araragi in the second episode of Nisemonogatari.

And I miss Nyarko’s brother. I want him back.

My earlier theory was right that the Orpheus Order members came from the same school as Kaito and Rook but season one didn’t even show a glimpse of them so I’m surprised my wild guess hit the mark on the head. I don’t understand how he spent so much time around them and not remember a thing. I’m going with repressed memories or pure amnesia. Tasogare Kaito x Amnesia.

The puzzle battle between Cubic and Melancholy was entertaining as she was trying to get in his head but too bad he had to sacrifice his match to get a little data. But I wonder: Why do they always put these potentially murderous puzzles so damn high?! If the edges weren’t secure, one wrong move and they could’ve fallen off. It also felt like Melancholy was dating him with all that sweet talking

LOL. I don’t think you’ll be able to stop applying real life logic to this show. The plot seems to be tempting you to do so because you want to know the cause behind the situation.

Happy Anniversary, anyway. Being a sempai, I guess this is in order.

The case of Chitanda’s uncle is only the first volume of the Kotenbu series. They will probably wrap it up next episode and then go on with a 5 episodes per volume formula.

Just kidding, they were my favorite part but I love speculation. Besides, we now have somewhere to gather and spout crazy theories!

I can accept that as Melancholy’s reason because she’s childish, she’s probably following the others and of course puzzles are the holiest thing ever (plus it’s anime), but if the others don’t have better reasons I will be disappointed. I like your theory! It justifies why Melancholy is younger and Doubt is older (though Crossfield could be a huge campus for all ages). Moreover it matches mine: Klondike doesn’t exist and it’s all Whist’s shenaningans.

This puzzle was pretty static, but it was put together better than episode 4′s and allowed the characters to shine. But it’s still far from Gammon and Kaito’s sword fight. I loved this one! I don’t get how Whist decided the matches’ order. He didn’t choose which pair would be which color and didn’t even shuffle his deck. Was he just showing off his cool cards? He sure loves fancy stuff: big screens and equipment popping out of nowhere and leaving no trace, dramatic bright lights from behind the Order and an entire shopping mall.

My comments are way too long. I should refrain myself.
