grrarg posted:Was the book this is based on part of a series or a one-off? It has been a long time since Noitamina had a good show. Hope it doesn't fall apart after a promising first episode like so many of their recent shows. Ten book series. It's also listed 64th on a list of Japan's 100 best mystery novels, so I'm reasonably hopeful.

nielsm posted:I'm wondering if the whole long illusion machine thing sequence they did in ep 10 is something the anime changed over the novel, since it may just as well just have been a phone call. Only putting the characters into a dream world gave an excuse for slightly more interesting visuals. It's in the live action. I mean, I guess that show could have made it up too, but it didn't do much with it.

Xelkelvos posted:Were there any Mystery rules that this series broke? Let's check! Knox's Decalogue posted:01. The criminal must be mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to know. Might fail at 4, depending on how charitable you want to be to the OS shenanigans, and the mother/daughter switcheroo might fall afoul of 10- does it count if the villain has to take lengths to conceal the deception, and the twist is signposted? Oh, and Moe's actually pretty smart, so technically it fails 9. The intent of the rules, though, is that the mystery should be "fair"- a sufficiently attentive and thoughtful audience should be given enough information to figure out who did it and how, before the detective tells them. I think it's fair by the spirit if not necessarily the letter of the law.
