English Dub Review: Pretty Boy Detective Club “The Pretty Boy in the Attic (Part 2)”
Overview
The titular detective club shared their theories about the thirty-three mysterious pieces of artwork they found in the attic above their club room. Naturally, all of this guesswork didn’t lead them to the true answer at least, not yet…
Our Take
I think out of all the storylines so far, this was the most simple, but it’s definitely excelled in depth. It’s not often how any sort of anime deals with the topic of faith in such a singular way like this, not to mention how wholly artistic it was. I also liked how enthusiastic Sotoin was for Doujima’s theory while the rest of them were worried that Sotoin might find out about Lai. But, 5th graders aren’t stupid…
It also excelled in cute character moments such as the interactions between Mayumi and Michiru when they were walking home. Also, the fact that Sousaku painted the ceiling for her and they all worked together on it as a team.
Overall, this was a weird episode that accomplished what it needed to do as a continuation to the last episode. Funimation lately has been a bit late in posting these dubbed episodes, at least I’m slowly catching up…
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
