She didn't? At least I saw nothing that suggested that.

Well at the end you can saw her on the bed & the windows look like a jail.

Ep.2 has aired, why nobody seems to have watched it?

But then the question is...what is the significance of the discoloration under the eye? Livor mortis usually settles on the lower parts of the body, due to gravity and all, but the discoloration was underneath her eye... was she lying face foward upside-down the entire time or something?

There are many things that can cause discoloration under the eyes; sleep deprive, alcoholism, drugs... Generally depression.

It could just be a holding cell.

It might also be an insane asylum or a mental rehabilitation facility.

Not really... at least, not the intense discoloration she had. Plus we haven't had any indication that she was a drug/or alcohol user so...

It's really weird why the show emphasized it, and not explain at all to the viewer why it was significant.

According to Moonphase, it is supposed to air tomorrow? I'm not sure why it aired today.

Chaos2Frozen · 2011-07-16, 09:14

Sawadee... Shouldn't there be a 'ka' at the end of that

?

I might be thinking too much, but I wonder if there's a reason the author choose a half-thai girl? Is there some special Thai culture that he intends to use? Regardless, Meo is a cute girl... Too bad she probably isn't sticking around after her case.

Spoiler for ep2:

Oh yeah, new ED... Not too bad, just back to basics.

ApostleOfGod · 2011-07-16, 10:30

is it me or did episode 1 not really conclude its plot (the case didn't get solved in the end) and episode 2 jumped immediately to a new case?

e/ nvm read something about the first episode being longer.. guess i only saw half of it

time to search for the rest~~

"-ka" is added after sentence/word when Thais woman want to say something politely/formally. It isn't part of greeting word. Think of it as when Japanese add [gozaimasu] after [Ohaiyou] or when they add "des"or "desu" after their sentence.

Note: That girl's nick name means "cat" in English.

Shadow5YA · 2011-07-16, 11:24

At the very least, the anime seems to have adapted this case in a far better manner than the manga. I like how they placed suspicion on the father's motives even if he was actually faithful to his family.

Kaioshin Sama · 2011-07-16, 11:44

Meo is kind of like a Thai version of Suzuha from Steins;Gate. Pigtails, high-pitched voice, looks in pretty good shape, has daddy issues.

This episode was basically Nerumi being a bro with Yakuza so that he could get to the bottom of Meo's case and some parts were highly amusing such as his cleaning up a virus on the angry dojo men's computer (depicted as an infinitely spawning window of some cheesecake photos) and trying to carry on a conversation with an enforcer at a sushi bar while trying (and mostly failing) to not insult the guy.

Though I really have to wonder if the whole Nerumi walking in on the girls naked because he was called there or was there already when they were stripping and getting slapped for it is going to become some ill-conceived running joke cause it's in the way my dad might describe a lame comedic scene, "pretty pale". The show has already shown that it can find humour in plenty of other less traveled stock gags, so why the fuck does it keep falling back on something so tired in anime these days.

Nerumi should definitely stand up for himself if this happens a third time or try to get a better look or something, because if the girls are going to keep putting themselves in these positions there should be either no penalty or some greater payoff. You can't hold it against a guy if you're the one being a tease after all.

Anyway looks like we'll have to wait till next episode to find out the conclusion. Kind of liking the two part format to all of this. Now if the show could just keep up it's otherwise great standards on the humour front.

wow...... JC staff make a new record in burning down materials <.< episode 2 = vol 2 of the book. Considering the episode 1 worth 2 episodes. .. . . Still sweet to see Meo-chan already even though it's really fast. I wonder how many of the books will they burn with their pacing.

I believe they skipped book 1 like the manga did as well ... for obvious reasons.

Reckoner · 2011-07-16, 15:51

Another enjoyable episode form this series again. It's very fast paced it seems, but that's not necessarily a bad thing so long the story told is a coherent one.

So it looks like from Alice's words at the end and the cell phone that the Thai girl's mother is still alive and waiting for her. It'll be interesting to see how this is resolved. Is Narumi going to stand up to some Yakuza thugs?

Again JC staff chooses to implement a running gag with the bathing that is just not funny and very old. At least it wasn't placed in as much of a jarring moment as previously... Still not something I am personally happy about. Like Kaioshin Sama said though, the comedy has otherwise been pretty gold.

Irenicus · 2011-07-16, 16:05

Meo-chan doesn't sound very Thai to me.

Although, I can't possibly complain seriously. It's not like it harms the show in any way as she doesn't do that annoying I'M CRAZY FOREIGNER crap.

Oh and FYI her shirt says "narak," which translates as "cute/kawaii."

But otherwise I'm liking how Narumi develops. He seems to be growing into his role nicely, another "fool" joining the family as the 4th says. The show's pacing is still as Reckoner says relatively fast, and that's a good thing.

Just...JC Staff, please please please don't try to make your own ending for this show. I don't want another Yumekui Merry.

As someone who has not read the novels, mind telling me what those obvious reasons are? We can take this to PM if it violates the rules.

I might be thinking too much, but I wonder if there's a reason the author choose a half-thai girl? Is there some special Thai culture that he intends to use? Regardless, Meo is a cute girl... Too bad she probably isn't sticking around after her case. Spoiler for ep2: Quite interesting, A father of a half-Thai girl is on the run from the Yazuka with 300 million yen that he helped laundered for them. The case is straight forward and doesn't try to be overly clever with elaborate schemes and tricks, as I've suspected from the first episode- the cases are meant to be less about the actual crime, and more about the personal relationships of the people involved. In this case, the relationship between a father and daughter... And this reverberates to both Narumi and Ayaka who both have family issues of their own. While I'm sure people prefers to know how someone gets murdered in a lock room, the more personal perspective of a case is still very engaging. Everything was going fine, except for two things; One, I'm not really feeling Alice here when she goes about her NEET detective speech but I can live with that. Secondly though, Narumi is definitely got to learn to separate his emotions, you don't needlessly agitate the protectee on a hunch... But I'm not unreasonable, this is only his second case- he still can learn. Oh yeah, new ED... Not too bad, just back to basics. __________________ Devil Trigger , Subhuman , Crimson Cloud , Mad Qualia
