Moriarity's dead but we never got to see the body. I didn't enjoy this episode that much.

I can't believe I stuck with this show until the end, I'm glad I did in a way because I finished it but still, I had higher hopes for James.

6/10.

It was a fun ride. At least better than the other anime out there (some fall 2019 and winter 2020 anime are meh). 7/10

Well, that was an unexpectedly good show. 7/10. I was still confused about Moriarty but I guess he really did die. That was sad.

Now, does anyone know what the final card at the end of the episode said?

Way to leave us hanging with all that stupid faggot drama and nothing at all when it comes to Sherlock and Irene after all the shiptease in the first half of the show. 7/10 only because I really liked the first cour, but the second absolutely sucked.

Of all things that I'm going to miss about this show is probably the Rakugo performances. This show has inspired me to watch the real ones on YouTube.

Quite the journey nonetheless, this show was wacky, strange, weird and above all fun.

In the first few episodes, I thought this show absolutely sucked. I thought it was the worst thing I've ever watched, but with time I started enjoying it more and more, especially that Irene arc and the 5-6 final episodes.

I didn't really like this last episode as much as I liked the past ones, but it was enjoyable. The only thing that bothers me is that I thought moriarty was alive and there would be a second season.

I'm gonna miss it, this show was odd, but I enjoyed it.

At first, I thought this show was really weird. As it got easier to follow near the middle, I was always excited for the next episode. I was especially excited for this episode. I liked the episode, but it was not as surprising as I thought it would be. Some of the other episodes were more enjoyable, but overall, this episode was alright. Moriarty's backstory was clarified for me, which was nice. I was also thinking, "Is anyone gonna mention Sherlock's murders?" I would like another season, although that is probably not going to happen, because Moriarty is dead.

9/10 (I would make it 10/10 if the first episodes were better because they are 8/10 for me but the newer episodes are 10/10 for sure)

What a load of bologny.

Not only I'm supposed to believe that his heart to heart talk with the maid made Moriarty change his thoughts from the emotionless and uncaring psycho into something else, but had enough time to prepare an intrincate plan as a last goodbye for Sherlock and the gang. His last riddle where Sherlock & Watson are reading his goodbye and start crying feels so ridiculous, yet cringe that i wasn't sure if I had to laugh or just sigh and shake my head. And what the hell was all that skit of the other detectives turning their backs on Sherlock despite him and Watson had been the ones to help them in their most dire moments, just an expected change of heart for cheap drama.

If the series had ended with the first cour, I would had given it a worthy 8. But the second cour was just asspull after asspull and more inconsistencies just asking me to ignore it's logic and roll with it just because it's anime. This is a new low for me. First show I rate with a 2/10

Shit ending to a shit anime, fitting.

I was expecting it to be shit, but I expected it to at least more properly resolve some of the shit it left open. Guess my expectations for this show were too high, as ever.
Good job trying to humanize a serial killer, and all for what, so that he could tell us what amazing transformative arc Sherlock himself went through? The guy that an episode ago was running around butt naked on the streets and holding tools used to commit (forced, somehow, still no explanation) suicide? We're supposed to accept that he was actually serious all these times and deducing shit and not laughing like a maniac like they showed when that happened?
This is fucking retarded. No, you don't get to go all crazy comedy in the middle of the "biggest crisis" and then act like nothing happened. Fuck you.
What even happens at the end? Where's moriarty? Clearly some parts in the puzzle indicate he's actually there watching. And either way, why is the rest of the cast waiting for them at the exit? Why are they "going to be ok for sure" when they literally just obstructed the police and used a (false) bomb threat? Are you kidding?
And his brother just was "a brother maniac" all along? Holy shit how foolish of me to expect Mycroft to have actual relevance at some point...

This is, without a doubt, one of the most disappointing animes I've seen in recent years. Nothing comes close to this level.
Sure there's shit anime, but you can tell those from the start.
Maybe it's just me, but from the first episode, this one seemed to have promise... one of the once-in-a-blue-moon mystery animes, but with a twist, interesting cast, music and setting, and even so confident as to use established names in the field... all for nothing. Just to throw it all out the window.
What the fuck happened? How could they fuck this up so badly?

Hah, good one.


Nice to see more people are coming to shit on this on this last ep's thread, but disappointing as ever to see some of you think this is quality stuff that actually got better as it went on. Holy shit, I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed with the show or with some of you guys.

I know immediately that Moriarty was already gone and his hideout is his last will.

And Moriarty is quite a weak villain in this adaptation. The only good decision he made is that he try to make Sherlock kiss with Watson.


Actually he didn't plan this. When you look closely his voice recorder activated after Mrs. Hudson mannequin was tipped over suggesting that someone would have to kiss Mrs. Hudson picture to activate the next stage.

Shite but you watched it all.
Yeah I rarely drop anything, then I regret wasting my precious time.
But it's probably not just me, the overall score talks a lot.



MAL scores are rarely valuable, like eg Pet where many people judged negatively after first (agreeably confusing) episodes after which (speaking honestly) this anime never recovered.

So, let me see.

Moriarty is practically forgiven for his countless crimes because of his sad backstory

but

"Jack", who supposedly ALSO had a sad backstory as motivation for her crimes, is the worst thing ever.

I WONDER WHY...

Wow didn't expect Mycroft to turn out to be a bro-con. Even after his death, Moriarty managed to toy with Holmes and Watson lol. Better than I expected this to be, love the quirky cast and the ridiculous story with some dark elements shown with lightheartedness.

In the end Moriarty leave Kabukichou or died. Still unknown where he is and they leave it as mystery. Sounds fun when you have 3 mates to go with. Now Pipecat back to normal. I was disappointed with the last arc 'till the end. Idk why.

its was a really weird show. (lot of gayishness and seeing some of worst take on the sherlock holmes characters).
but it improves a lot and finale was pretty good wrap up. One thing i dislike about the show is Moriarity portrayed as a literal edgy brat. though finale did make it somewhat easier to swallow that.

overall its started as a pretty unlikeable show and little by little improved on smaller things and ended up worth the watch

I was really digging the anime and felt it was gonna be added to the collection but that was up till Jack the Ripper was caught. From then on, I feel the Moriarty as the bad guy was just forced to keep the anime going.

Either way, it was obvious that Moriarty wasn’t there in the end and had already dipped. My feels were attached to the anime during the Jack the Ripper part of the anime, up til 13th-ish episode but near the end of this one, I didn’t feel anything.

Sadly it’ll be an anime that will soon be forgotten. Still worth the 1 watch through.
