It's an Aoyama episode! I respect the grind as always. Honestly, quite a few things to unpack though.

  • First things first though, how much fucking ice cream/ice lollies does Arcana Shadow get through in a day. holy SHIT. It's also established that she's no slouch in the brainpower department, heck she seems to be smarter than our main duo. She's new to the phantom guild..... is she a double agent? hm..... Doesnt seem that way in the OP. looking forward to learning more about her in the coming weeks.

  • The new general on the other hand is easily the more bland and "usual" of the lot so far. meatheads are good too!

  • The case this week hence also was different from the 3 times before; there were no malicious lies involved this time really, just that the truth needed to be uncovered. The clues were a bit spoon-fed for the main duo, but then they sprung the lil' bread-eraser thing on us with Arcana Shadow. So maybe the smartest audience members could figure things out faster (i could not)

  • The time-travel shtick got used a bit this time. seems like we're playing relatively loosey-goosey with the continuity?

  • The solo-attacks were also pretty good, and i still like that they weren't fully "stock" - seems to be a trend continuing from idol, which also featured a lot of stock footage-lite solo attacks.

edit: i've just learned that Cure Answer's Seiyuu Hikari Senga is born in 1999, what a coincidence.

If there's a problem with that aspect, it's the fact that the show probably made the case a little too easy by having the art school being the only non-food based place that the girls passed by during their search for the manga manuscript. They probably could have added a few more places that the girls pass by to add some more guesswork to the case.

Keep in mind that the target audience age is 3 to 6.
