Episode seven's screen cap is too funny for words. (Of course, the episode was pretty great, too.)

^ Yeah, that was pretty perfect.
Tsk, tsk. The Matsunos are complete amateurs when it comes to splitting up food. No self-respecting sibling would give food to their parents, when the obvious solution is to divide 3 in half and one into six pie-shaped pieces! In this case, the cream-filled would get the pie treatment. My only comment on the first segment is lobsters in a bucket. The hitchhiking scene was kinda fun - judging by the growth of the cactus on the right, they were waiting there for years, if not decades. |

I had a trick for these types of situations: as I'm the oldest of 3 siblings, I was usually the one given the food in order to split it into equal parts. However, as this episode exemplifies, sometimes there were 4 pieces of something for the 3 of us. Being possibly the best example of a good big brother, I secretly ate the 4th piece in my way to delivering it to my siblings, avoiding conflict AND getting an extra treat for myself. Everyone wins. However, regarding episode 7, I believe it's all their mother's fault: why would she buy 4 pieces of food if she knows there's 6 of them, and thus can't properly divide it? That's some bad parenting right there. Maybe she knew she'd get the 4th piece. |

My siblings and I were generally good about sharing - except when it came to desserts. When I had dinner at my mom's a few weeks ago, I felt a small twinge of jealously when my sister was served a piece of tiramisu that was slightly, SLIGHTLY larger than the one I was given. (I'm 31, by the way.)

That was a fun episode! Todomatsu is great. I had trouble with his character before because, compared to the others siblings, he was sort of pushed to the side. I feel like I have a grasp of his personality now. This series is great with facial expressions. (Also Jyushimatsu is adorable.)
I definitely prefer segments featuring Matsuno sibs, but I could tell someone was having fun making "Going North"; the backgrounds were pretty nice. It also had some cool small touches, like the lizard in the desert. |

Wait, how did you manage to secretly eat a piece?  Weren't they watching the division of treats with the keen eyes of ravenous hawks? Did you keep them tied up in the back room or something?
As for their mom, well, we met her a couple of episodes ago, and she doesn't strike me as a mother who wouldn't set up this sort of situation deliberately for fun. I imagine she was watching them on hidden camera. |

Maybe Dad was in on this, too? I can picture them clinking champagne glasses and enjoying their potentially-cream-filled imagawayaki as they watch the chaos unfold. |

I take it Ichimatsu played the Jason-like red herring?

Episode 8
Yes, you're right. He was hiding in plain sight right from the start, which was a pretty funny visual. They kinda beat it to death though. Inspector Choromatsu was obviously a riff on Conan's Inspector Megure, given his hat and trenchcoat, so as generic a send-up as this was, they were still openly targeting Conan in several ways. Edited to fix my stupidity. I think I got too distracted by the face mask - never noticed his hair even once. ::facepalm:: Last edited by Gina Szanboti on Tue Nov 24, 2015 7:06 pm; edited 1 time in total |

You sure? From what I remember, Chibita was done in with oden skewers, whereas the hockey mask guy was strung up from the mansion's clock tower. (Plus, he had hair, but Chibita's probably not above wearing a wig.) |

Yeah, it was Ichimatsu. That red herring was the best red herring I've seen. That said, I still think he killed Karamatsu. This episode was so good, and I loved how out of character some of the cast were in the detective skit. Juushi as a tsukkomi? Choro having fun and being illogical? The Kara Juushi duet at the end was good too. I was happy to see so much Kara in this ep, even if he suffered in every single skit. I was surprised there wasn't a blatant Inugami/Kosuke Kindaichi parody (though the lake one might have been. I can't recall but didn't one of the characters in Inugami Clan drown?) |

No mention of the excellent tidbit at the end with a duet from Karamatsu and Juushimatsu? I thought it was really funny. Poor Karamatsu can't catch a break, even in a short segment like this. ^^;
I said it in the other thread too but I love the little "Totty" callbacks. |

What did Choromatsu mean when he asked what Todomatsu/Totty's handwriting looked like in episode 7? I get that Totty lied about being a student at Keio University, but was just looking for cultural context to Choromatsu's question.
Also, them greasers, am I right? |
