As a 12-episode anime, having the finale be a major breakthrough in regards to Aoi's feelings as well as the progression of her study as an appraiser is nice since it put the spotlight at her, while also highlight the complex feelings between Moria and Holmes on the side. It would have been nice if Aoi's good eye is being shown most of the season instead of two or three episodes after off screen study, and allow Holmes take the backseat so he doesn't become a deus ex machina detective who always have the right answer every time.
