The Winter 2020 Anime Preview Guide

Considering the LGBTQ community represented in the ANN staff, I think The Case Files of Jeweler Richard would get a lot higher scores if they could have seen the second episode. And some more of us might have voted it in for reviews too. I voted for it- not because I was stunned with the first episode but because I had a feeling it had an unexpected direction or two coming up.

The "solution" was not one expected to see- and it was dealt with carefully and taking special care to "exhibit no prejudice nor speak in a discriminatory manner" while doing so. But the point of understanding it in the context of being a grown Japanese woman is an important one.

I may have to refer to this as "The Case Files of The Woke Richard"
and Seigi is a worthy apprentice in that respect, he just has to learn how to express himself a bit better if he wants to be truly woke...
and maybe he can learn some of that gemstone stuff.too.

Each of them gets their little moments to reestablish themselves this episode, as do a few other important characters, including one of the Sisters, Kongou, and Misaki, the mind-controlling fifth-ranked Level 5. (Her appearance is a bit uncomfortable given what happens with her team in Index 3.)

That's a big shame, as she was an expert at voicing haughty characters like Misaki. Her replacement, whom I have not been able to identify yet, is a distinct step down, but she will have the advantage of being able to establish herself in the role over a broader expanse of appearances (Misaki only had a significant part in one episode of Railgun S), so she should eventually define Misaki on her own.
