fillers over

[Hatsumichan]

Is it just me or do the "subtitles" by NEET only come up for the opening and ending song? I don't get any subs at all for any of the speaking parts throughout the entire episode O.o

I'm pretty sure it is you

Check your codecs. There's always the codec community pack or whatever (I don't use it so I don't know what it's called...).

[NoSanninWa]

If you cannot see the subtitles that means your system is not set up properly to view softsubs. I'd suggest you do as iwubanime suggested and install the CCCP. It should solve all your problems. If it does not solve all your problems, then please don't post about it here! We don't want to hear about Playback Help problems in this thread.

Ask for Playback Help in the Playback Help Forum. That's why it is there.

Neet says that their translator is busy with college right now so if you wanna help translate let them know.

One group released chapters 1-12 and Anonymous has scanned 17-22 (out of the 131+ out in Japan).

Spoiler for episode 5 screencaps/comments:

Screens:

-Art quality was up from last week but the mouth movements were a little funny looking.
-Despite being presented as a flashback, this was pretty much a straight adaption of the manga chapters.
-However, there were a few things cut here and there to keep with the anime's continuity
-lol at Neuro getting shot AGAIN (since they used that bit in the filler in episode 3)

Preview:

Time warp to a case from volume 6, it's the creepy hair guy.

I read the original Japanese version.

Spoiler for ep5:

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode.

The only main difference from the manga that bothered me was Neuro simply ate Washio, while in the manga, Neuro blasted Washio with a demon gun of his.
That, and of course, this was a flashback instead of presented in current time.

The "Guillotine" was well done.

Next episode is a case I haven't got to read, so all new to me.

I wonder if Neuro can be considered the best male character this season. Perhaps "badass" would be a better word?

He's a great character, really.

[Deathkillz]

neuro is more psychotic than badass imo

ep 5

Spoiler:

probably my fav ep so far for this series. it was more of a flashback ep and while it didnt show how the punk dude (cant remember his name) came to joining the team it did show his introduction to neuro...
the murder weapon used this time was awesome! and scary - i feel sorry for the melon

Whoever Mr. X is he seems to be otherwise occupied so far. Due to the lack of fansubs I've watched raws 2-4 yesterday and skimmed through 5. Unfortunately, this might be the most repetitive anime of the season. It definitely is a "full" detective story so far and Neuro being what he is doesn't have any significant impact on the story. The character interaction between the main characters I was hoping for is very limited and also repetitive. I will try and skim through the next to eps too but I they don't break the case of the week routine then I'm out. 7 eps is about half the space you need to tell a story if you're doing it right, so spending it on fillers is a terrible waste. Maybe I'll come back if I hear about some overarching storyline developing.

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro is mostly case by case. Thus, the episodes aren't filler, it's simply the way the show is. I've only read three volumes so far, but it really is just Neuro going from mystery to mystery and using his intelligence and demonic powers to solve them.

There are mysteries that are not solved yet and come back later, but even while waiting, it goes back to another case.

Repetitive, yes perhaps, but as far as it goes, it's enjoyable.

It's usually funny, and the cases are interesting (as the way it happens/solved). Besides, it's one of the few detective shows this season, and the only other is has dolls, shotas, fluffy dogs, and isn't really a detective story.

Yup, the series is generally pretty episodic, although the cases gradually get longer as it continues. An average one is about 3-6 chapters, but they can get up to 2 volumes and the longest so far has been 5 volumes.

The thing I've noticed about the anime though is that they seem to be determined that 1 episode = 1 case. Which involves rewriting/cutting things to fit with some of the longer cases and making it feel a whole lot more episodic. Also, when put in chronological order, they all add something on top of each other to make the bigger picture. Too bad the anime isn't going in chronological order lol!

Thanks for clearing that up. Well, detective anime is just not my "thing". Meanwhile, I peeked into the manga by myself. I probably would have been better if they had kept the beginning intact instead of throwing the viewers into the story at a point where Yako takes Neuro's ... um ... neuroness already for granted. As for Suteki Tantei Labyrinth, I think I will have to follow it for a while at least until I find out WTF it is about, actually.

[White Manju Bun]

Just so you know the ED and OP are out.

Im still enjoying this even though I agree I wish the anime had started from the beginning like in the manga but Im very much into Neuro himself so Im sticking with this and its slow subbing process.

[free_lancer]

Spoiler for episode six screencaps/comments:

Screens:

-This sucked in the manga and it sucked in the anime too lol!
-They took the school part from volume 3 but altered the dialogue to make up for the rearranging.
-Blah blah stuff happened.
-I lost the will to live partway through so whatever.
-Oh yeah, I noticed they used the shot from the end of the ED.

Preview:

Next week: Maybe X can save this.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep6:

Well, this was one of the more gruesome episodes so far.
Beheading by a giant scissor and forced drowning.

Neuro also used a lot of force on the criminal this time. Zapping his hair and then eating his puzzle, leaving him as a useless empty remain of a human body.

No Demon Tool this time...

Keep on going, Neuro! I enjoy this show so much!

Next time - Oh! It's time for X.

[serenade_beta]

Bump for episode 7.

Spoiler for ep7:

Admittedly, I'm not happy with the fact that they changed how the case worked out.

But either way, the supernatural villain "Monster Robber X (Sai)" appears. The existence that transforms, and kills by "inspecting" human innards and turning them into blood-red boxes.

This weeks evil tool is "Evil Cancel", where Neuro vomits purple liquid that causes the target to turn invisible.

[free_lancer]

I spot a red/blue Justice scene.

Spoiler for episode 7 screencaps/comments:

Screens:

More screens than usual, because I can.

-Craaazy Death Note vibes in this one. The chanting music; the random red and blue shift.
-Animation quality was way up, and everything was really fluid.
-TONS of changes here and there. Most of them didn't really bother me... except that cat. I hate that cat.
-Mulched up box-people everywhere. Makes me wonder why they censored blood green last week?
-Despite the all the compacting and changes I quite enjoyed this episode.

Preview:

I don't even know. I think it's more filler?

[Deathkillz]

ep 7

Spoiler:

finally a worthy opponent for nuero? its going to be one hell of a fight if they decide to go at it later - something to look forward to i guess

the amount of gore in this series is really nice to see...nothing over the top but still makes you stomach turn to see someone turned into a bloody plup

[White Manju Bun]

Gah, Im falling behind in this but I am glad to see what X finally looks like.

Question to the Neuro manga fans...any idea why an anime that is scheduled for 26 epis and has 133 so far chaps of manga has had so many fillers?


Edit:!!! Ok I need to catch up!! Romi Paku is the voice of X!!!! ~fangirling~
