EPISODE REVIEWS

It's completely normal and perfectly fine for older men to date much younger women! That's the first part of this episode. The second part is a minor crime that has to be solved with the magical power of the antique appraiser's eyes. I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous. The villain's plan would have completely failed if someone had looked back at the most valuable object in the entire collection before leaving the room. The villain, in the end, like a true Scooby-Doo character, reveals everything and apologizes easily because he's so sorry, but not before having a card duel??? Because clearly that made perfect sense.

It's always a favorite of moment of mine when Holmes gets mad and emotional because of how rare it is. Again, the mystery is pretty bland because there's no room for Holmes and co to even investigate or explain when antiques are fake or now, which is supposed to be the most unique point of this series.

This episode introduces the owner's family, but honestly, it's just an okay episode. It sets up what looks like a typical locked-room mystery, but the case ends up being pretty forgettable. The culprit is underwhelming, and their motive is weak as well. At least Aoi looked pretty.
