This show has a great OP, but it also has a really catchy ED, too. I often catch myself humming or whistling out the tune at work all the time nowadays. That 3/4 cadence is strong.

with regards to the identity of the killer: unless the actual murderer has yet to be revealed, the only characters i suspect strongly are mr. yashiro, kayo's mother, and kenya primarily this is because, before she was killed, mrs. fujinuma stated that she recognized the killer. i don't know that one suspect is inherently more likely to be the killer than another, but unless the murderer is indeed yuuki (or another one of satoru's friends i guess), there's really no one else that i could imagine it being?? i still believe kenya to be a red herring of sorts and while kayo's mother is a lovely, abusive person, i don't know what would lead her to target children other than her own so once more, mr. yashiro is left as the strongest suspect imo Zettace posted:Honestly, I really thought he saved Kayo there but someone was going to die in her place. Mainly the that girl that sits beside him or Hiromi who we got that scene of splitting off from Kayo and Satoru during the day Kayo disappeared. Then those death flags appeared just before the end and... yeah  The Colonel posted:I just started watching the new episode and god Satoru's mom is the coolest person she really is

Why not Kayo's mom's boyfriend? For all that her mother is abusive, the stepdad's response of "Make sure you leave some ice for my drink" while the mother was shoving her bodily into the sink was extremely cold (no pun intended) and offputting. Then there's the fact they saw the need to put him in a scene, and make him that distinctive, but no other character of note has even met him with the possible exception of the teacher. Also, Kenya might be a red herring, but it feels far too subtle for that. I'd be more inclined to accept the teacher as the red herring, if there really is one.

I think the red-eyes thing is just a visual motif the series is using to show that the protagonist is sensing something fishy, not necessarily "THIS PERSON IS THE CULPRIT 100% BECAUSE NARRATION SAYS SO".

The serial murders, Yuuki's arrest, and the arrival of his Revival ability seem to have frozen him in place, mentally. This jump back isn't just a chance for him to undo Kayo and company's deaths - it's a chance for him to start growing up again.

Demicol posted:EP5: The killer is the teacher, isn't it? I think he had a similar hairstyle, they didn't show his face and they both wear glasses It's either this, because it's clearly going to be someone we "know" for purposes of plot impact, and the teacher is the only male around the right age we've seen, aside of Kayo's step-dad which it's almost certainly not, or this is a total red herring. But given what happened at the end of the episode, I think it's more likely that you're right. The weirdest thing about this episode is Airi's mom divorcing her dad for "stealing" a bar of chocolate. Yeah, sure, it's probably result of conflict resulting from him losing his job, but the way it was presented was a tad ridiculous. What I really want is for Satoru to be up front with his mom when he presumably goes back into the past again, and for them to team up to find the killer.

I think its not really about what was stolen, but the fact that he was now labeled as a criminal in a very small society, losing face/credibility.

Am I missing something - Why isn't anyone mentioning the dead (or at least heavily battered and unconscious) child on Hinazuki's living room floor, at the same time as Satoru is searching for the missing Kayo?

Paperhouse posted:Am I missing something - Why isn't anyone mentioning the dead (or at least heavily battered and unconscious) child on Hinazuki's living room floor, at the same time as Satoru is searching for the missing Kayo? Well, I don't think anybody missed it, it just hasn't been mentioned. I suppose it implies that Kayo was indeed killed by her mum or someone, and they either made it look like she was kidnapped immediately, or did so after the other kidnappings started and they realised they could dress it up that way. Or maybe they have something to do with whoever murdered the others. Speaking of stuff that nobody mentioned, one thing I was wondering about was (EP1) Satoru's mum's stabbing. First of all she gets stabbed in the back, then later when Satoru finds her, the knife's in her front instead. Furthermore, there doesn't appear to be a stab wound in her back anymore. Either that or it's just off-camera and Satoru doesn't mention it. I could just be reading something into nothing, but it was an odd thing I noticed at the time, and I can't help but wonder if it's at all important.

Probably came back to the scene and went "wouldn't it be cool if he couldn't see what happened first?!" and forgot it made no sense given the angles.

Figured it was either that, or simply that the killer stabbed her a second time off-screen, the other stab wound was just out of shot in the close-up, and Satoru didn't mention it for whatever reason. Ah well, would've been cool if it was some kind of foreshadowing to future time-travel shenanigans or whatever.

Ah well, would've been cool if it was some kind of foreshadowing to future time-travel shenanigans or whatever. Clearly the killer has the same power that Satoru does, just less developed. So we see the first timeline where she's stabbed in the back, then the killer takes a minor time jump back because Satoru saw his face clearer or walked in while he was still in the room (we don't see it because that timeline got erased, or because they want it to be a reveal later). Then we can culminate in a grand battle where they're both killing each other over and over again while one or the other rewinds time again and again. I mean, that's not gonna happen because it's just an error someone made along the line, but I'd be down for it.

It's plausible that she and Sachiko exchanged numbers or the unknown business man just stole her contact info from her workplace. Fight!

I caught up last night and  I have to wait a week?!Seriously, this is probably the best show I've seen in ages and I'm doing everything in my power not to read the manga. I do think Kenya is seriously involved. He's just weird enough for it to be true. If his mom recognized the killer, I don't think she ever met the boyfriend as far as we know.

Satoru's trail of bodies is starting to become a bit ridiculous at this point. I'm reminded of a line from My Cousin Vinny... "Is there any more poo poo that we can pile onto the top of the outcome of this case". Also, I'm not at all sure why he thinks he needs to stay out of the police's holding cell when he can zip back in time anyway. Wouldn't it make sense to find out some of what the police have on him in an interrogation, since at this point he can't very well go to any more libraries or whatever?

All the other similar cases had the primary suspect convicted despite all of them claiming to be innocent. I don't think the police is going to be very considerate even if they weren't suspicious as heck.
