I liked the educational aspects of this show, her presentation about the skull in particular. I found her claim about changes in human skeletal structures over the course of just one century unconvincing, but I'm willing to be proved wrong. The decayed tooth was more plausible, but I'm sure you could find examples of impoverished modern humans with equal amounts of decay. Maybe Japan doesn't have poor homeless in the numbers we do in the US?
Wouldn't washed-up bodies be autopsied as standard practice? I do like listening to voices like Itou's with that sexy lower pitch. Much more appealing to me than voices like we hear in something like Hackadoll. Please, though, Sakurano-san, don't kiss the boy like Clare. That would weaken the story for me like it did in Claymore.

I think just like Gosick before it, this show will be criticized for all of its “unrealistic-ness” and “weak mysteries” and “annoying male MC” (even though he’s the one that behave normally compared to the “eccentric detective girl”). But also like Gosick, I find the overall execution to be quite lovely so far and I was thoroughly entertained. Definitely a keeper for me.
TLDR: Since Kujo loves bones to death, I wonder how she would react if she can meet Momonga/Ains Ooal Gown from Overlord. I think she’ll be beyond fascinated, enough to give Albedo a run for her money

This is annoying. I want the guy dead and unlike gosick.I actually like the samurai boy there. There was a reason given his background but here? The guy is annoying piece of crap that likes the older girl.
The older girl is nice when he starts saying his love for bones and explaining the mystery but it become annoying when he become tsundere and start pouting. Its not funny at all. Plus I don't have any information prior to watching the episode so I didn't know that the summary was said that the annoying mc has her as girlfriend. Please not make it happen. Its not funny at all.

I will mention one thing that annoyed me about the direction in this show. When the girl who helps with the cat is introduced, the first thing we see is her bust. The "male gaze" perspective is a bit less pronounced when Sakurako is introduced, but we see her first from the back and from a distance. The first close-up of her displays her body in profile where, again, her bust is the most prominent object in the screen. Only then do we see her face. Both woman are pretty amply endowed, too.
Now this could just be the usual pandering that happens in much of anime; if so, I hope we see less of it. Or is the director suggesting that the first thing that attracts a young man's attention is a woman's bustline? If so, that doesn't seem to mesh with Shotarou's rather sexless character.

- nowadays, bad teeth and a total absence of modern dentistry has to be pretty rare in developed countries, even among the poor. Though I suppose it'd depend on the country's healthcare. - there may have been other clues, but the teeth were the easiest to explain to laymen. |

As someone who also stares at bones all day, I can tell they did a lot of research since the sutures on that skull are actually anatomically correct and her description of the body of the sphenoid bone are actually sometimes used medically.

The wear on the teeth was a better thing to look at, from a realism standpoint; teeth wear patterns are different with a coarse diet compared to a modern, refined, diet. Now unfortunately, the animators drew the tooth looking like it had no wear at all... :P Yes, I quite appreciated that they took the time to get all that right. I don't mind it if the animators miss a little detail here or there (afterall, they're not likely to know the anatomy and how it changes in detail; they're likely working off reference photographs and such), and I'm happy that they did put the effort into it.

It's a nice start, but I can't help but be reminded of another series I saw the first episode of, tasogare otome x amnesia. It's probably because of the character design of the main girl.
Anyway, it was interesting how they focused on the sphenoid bone, it's the most interesting bone in the human body to some people of a certain persuasion after all.

Everything was going oh so well but every time the MC tried to butt in it was a bit of a bother. I cant help but see a future where he might ruin the show for me. Till then if they tame his ignorant interruption every now and then i can see myself loving this series.

There is a lot that he does that is bother me but as i said its probably just conflicting personal beliefs. But with an interesting premise like this I wish it would be allowed to be fleshed out without having the MC backtrack everything and add unnecessary comments just for the sake of having that "rational" sidekick. All I'm saying is if he stops butting heads with her I can really enjoy this anime to its fullest. |
