The Moriarty of this story strikes again! And he's still as ridiculous as the first time we met him. The only positive thing about this episode is establishing that Aoi has a talent for appraising antiques. And that's about it. The stepbrother's relationship with Holmes is worrying. The face-off with the villain is ridiculous because instead of catching him and taking him to the police for his scams, the script dictates that he's free to continue his schemes so our protagonist can look super cool solving the mysteries.Frankly, I'm not enjoying this anime at all. It's normal to see the puppet strings when it's being pulled, but if the puppet's movements don't distract you from seeing the strings, then the show isn't good. In short, I can see all the tropes and mechanisms of this script to keep it going, because the story isn't interesting enough to distract me from their existence.
