Welp, this was definitely another episode of Beautiful Bones. I’m guessing I’m talking to myself at this point, because I can’t imagine anyone else has stuck with this show through ten tedious episodes. Not really sure what I can talk about even in that case, though. I went to a Get Up Kids concert on Tuesday – that was pretty great. I’d expected more of a balanced setlist covering their whole career, but I can’t really complain about them heavily favoring Four Minute Mile and Something to Write Home About, considering those are their big second wave emo hits. A good time overall.
Welp, looks like I’ve written enough words that people will assume are about Beautiful Bones. You can check out my full review over at ANN, or my notes below!
Shoutarou, Sakurako, and Isozaki go on a final bone-hunting expedition of fall
They run into corpse butterflies, and then a body. Another multi-parter
A dead mountain hare
The “lethe diana,” that likes corpses
“If something happened to one of my students again…”
Apparently Isozaki has some baggage with a former student
Three girl students from two years ago
Futaba vanished in their second year
Hitoe and Minami are the two others
Futaba’s disappearance created a rift between the two others
Isozaki couldn’t do anything for the dead or those who remained
And now Hitoe is missing
Isozaki grows plants to, er, atone?
She disappeared while walking the dog
“You value appearances over your own daughter? What a lovely family”
Nice little mystery fragments
Shoutarou discovers her part-time job was as a painter’s model from Kougami
Kougami apologizes to Isozaki
Hitoe slept with Minami’s boyfriend, the painter
Aw dang, it’s the evil painter from the cursed man arc
Explaining Isozaki’s hobby. Lol
Hanabusa’s the man’s name
“There’s something I’ve learned from you. The fastest way to win over a child is with food” burn
Some good animation for Minami this episode
Sakurako’s actually getting invested in this case
Seriously… the only reason I’m still watching this show is because I’m also reviewing every episode for my job. I really wish I could drop it, it’s just… ugh.
