Season 1 was such a letdown I’m not even exited for this.

I don't find issue with shows getting sequels and am happy for fans when their seemly niche or unpopular show gets a continuation.
However, for this I'll make an exception. |

Been so long since this sequel was announced that I forgot it was still coming. Have to agree with others that the first season was a disappointment overall (especially on the organizational front), but Siesta was a fun enough character that I'll probably watch and hope that the next stage of the story is more tightly-presented.

I'm really looking forward to this one! It's been a long time coming, and season 1 was great.
I don't understand the negativity in this thread...
Especially when people are out here randomly dissing good staff (and fans??) like this personally...

So what? Siesta is a maid now? She's got a video will? I'm not expecting season 2 to be at all a dramatic improvement over season 1.

Please understand when I say this I am only talking about the anime version. I am sure the books are quite different and explain/dont misrepresent things.
I am a very avid golden age mystery fan and big mystery in general fan..... OH GOD did I hate the first like 5 episodes of this anime so much. I have never seen such an incoherent logic of a mystery series. I have seen some stuff but this anime took the cake for me. I have never felt like I was watching an abridged series making fun of the insanity of anime that I could not detect a joke in more then this show. This is one of the very few things along with the gen urobochi godzilla animated movies that I wanted to create an abridged series to just to release some of the energy this show makes me feel |

The shows biggest problem is that it was adapting 2 volumes at the same time in mixed order, within the same episode! Which made the plot inconsistent as it jumped back and forth constantly. Example of the timeline, or how it was structured: Vol.1: 1, 2-4, 6, 10, 11-12 Vol. 2: 1, 5, 6, 9, 11-12 |

I don't think that really has much to do with what he took issue with, lol. If he's only talking the first 5 eps, he's probably mainly talking about the case surrounding Yui from Vol.1, which was all told in order before it jumped to Vol.2 content. Also, your structure list is a bit off and misleading. You don't even list Episodes 7 and 8, lol. It's more accurate to describe it as Vol.1 getting split in half with most of Vol.2 in the middle, with a bit of both together at the very beginning and very end. The way they did it works incredibly well for this particular story, given how the reveals of each volume line up and relate to each other. This is the kind of creative-yet-faithful adaptation more anime could use. When staff are put into the situation of adapting stories that are so uniquely arranged like this one, they need to tweak things like this to suit the 12-episode format. If they adapted them straight, Vol.2's climax alone would've made for an awkward finale, with most of the main characters not featured in the second half of the series. (Since Vol.2 is a flashback story.) Anyway, I'm of the opinion that they did a perfectly fine job structuring the series and choosing which sections of which volume to tell and when, so that it culminated into the climax of both volumes in the final episodes which strengthened both climaxes for the anime, imo. If anyone else reading this enjoyed the anime, please embrace that feeling. Don't let any online nitpickers and novel purists tell you otherwise. |

Tbf, the series was never meant to be a mystery series, the author even apologizes to readers in the afterward of volume 1 for anyone that might have felt tricked by the title. I have no idea how they are even going to do a season 2 when they cut everything that was important to get into it within season 1. All the context from volume 2 that directly leads into volume 3 is gone, and seeing that it's the same staff, I can only imagine they are going to butcher this again. |
