I think this show has been missing a proper ending, now it has one. this is a solid end sequence that the show has been needing.

the previous ending
thank god they changed it!
I didn't think it was bad though, but fitting the show is something different...

Wow, just wow. This was the most boring episode i've seen in a good while.
And the most enjoyable thing about this show - OP, didn't even play this time.
Other than being bored i found myself facepalming at Chitanda a few times, so yeah, that was bad.

Bored to tears, I do not know why, but I keep watching this show for some reason. Hoping it will get better but it does not. I can not see any purpose for Chitanda but to look cute.

Chitanda was so cute this episode lol, getting sucked into everything that catches her eyes. And wow no wonder she didn't want to negotiate with the president, she isn't very good at negotiating. >_>

Galaxyyyyy! Boom! Rofl that was great. Lol Satoshi is just having fun out there.

The new ED is pretty cool and cute, those outfits look great on them. The song is very nice as well and I like it nearly as much as the last ED. And the animation definitely fits this anime more than the last one.

Why......why..........why did I like this episode so much?!? Nothing really happened, but I enjoyed every minute of it. To me, it seemed like the art and animation were higher quality than normal this episode. And these characters are really great, so even when nothing happens, it's still fun to watch.

Oreki and the clapping part was awesome.
Chitanda and her scatter-brain-ness was funny and awesome.
I was so confused by the giant Saturn head.
And the Vocaloid cosplayer in the background was great.

This show sucks me in every episode.

New ED is definitely nowhere near as hot as the first one, but this new one is much more fitting for the series.

Pointless episode, but I kinda like the new ending. Way better than creepy sexualized girls wearing almost nothing, with a sappy love song as accompaniment.

This episode looks like “The ABC Murders” written by Christie....of course, nobody will be killed.

Best episode so far, this is very interesting to watch. Other episodes were entertaining but not this interesting. New ED, so I'm guessing there'll be a new OP next week as well!

This episode was actually better than the other ones. I think they should stop with the "mystery" and stick with slice of life.

Also, horrendous 1st ED is finally replaced by something more appropriate to this series.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Read this topic, it's already done X)

BTW I just noticed that in the ED Chitanda's background consists of the titles of Holmes's stories while Mayaka's are the (much better) Christie's novels. And when the girls are together they have a mix of both.

I presumed it was somehow derived from a mystery novel, like many mysteries in this show apparently are. But I was just making up a random name not related to anything, I haven't read much mystery and novels in my life so I don't know about it.

Just wondering, but when Oreki was figuring how many books they'd sell I'm pretty sure he did his math incorrectly? From what I got he said 8+1+1=12.


He said members*2+1+1=12. Hence counting 5 members.

I think....
Oreki 2, Chitanda 2, Fukube 2, Ibara 2, their advisor 2, the archive 2 = 12

Why Houtaro'sister gave a broken pen to her brother Houtaro.

You can't write anything with a broken pen. So this situation, in Japanese explained “ kakenai ”. This phrase's pronunciation is same, “You won't lose anything.”
The broken pen was a charm.

You can't write ..... 書けない kakenai
You won't lose .... . 欠けない kakenai

"kakenai". I learned somethin, thx.

Nice that this episode's "mystery" was built up in the background as I find those usually boring as hell.
And more screentime for Eru. Yaay! \o/
So cute when she got sucked in by everything she walks by at the fest, haha.
Under the top three best episodes so far.

Quite nice episode, really liked it for some kind also vocaloid cosplay and Chitanda that wears a couple outfits, quite nice if you ask me!

Let's see what this arc will bring us!

The new ED is also quite nice, let's see what the new OP will bring us as well!

A whole lot of Vocaloid cosplays! Awesome.
Also, was the 'GALAXY' supposed to be a reference to 'UNIVERSE' from Haganai? :)

I laughed up when they showed Oreki doing nothing at the booth after showing how everyone was having fun/doing things :D

I wonder what's up in Mayaka's club, I hope those bitches won't hurt her in any way :/

Finally, the new ED sequence seems to be a more proper one for this anime. Didn't quite understand the idea behind the previous one with its ecchiness.
However, I like the first song way more, though this one is also good.
Can't wait to hear the OP as well.
