Keep coming back to this. C418 tracks amaze me every time and this is not only nostalgia but its vibes really live up to the title. 

Soaring Skies just hit different on this one (Aqare I think he is underrated too and does some really good and unique nintendo related piano content).

天使のスマイル♥

魔のリドル (Riddle Story of the Devil) Episode 9 Ending Theme

Vocals: Isuke Inukai (CV: Azumi Asakura)

 

Some brief thoughts about Episode 9 and Isuke, spoiler'd to avoid spoiling the anime for others:

Spoiler

Episode 9 ended well. 🥰 Excellent use of pathetic fallacy (using the weather to foreshadow and reflect events).

 

Damn, damn, daaamn. Banba kept me on my toes the entire time, oof. 😅 Though, I feel genuinely sorry for her past. The only question I have about her is her obsession with "relics," or the possessions of her late victims; why does she value them so? 🤔

 

Isuke, well... She's a good antagonist. Moves quickly, picks up details on the fly, and plans things shrewdly. Her tragic flaw -- and the thing that I dislike about her -- is her borderline sadistic cockiness. Moving with confidence is fine; being high off arrogance is... kinda cringe. 748523241928392704.png?v=1 Was satisfying to see her taken down a notch. 👍

 

Also, Tokaku's revelation and Tokaku-Haru bonding in this episode was touching and delivered well. Adequately succinct, layered with enough suggestive metaphors to get the meaning across gently, without dragging on for too long or being in-the-watcher's-face about it. Other things I noticed: honorifics were dropped for both Tokaku (versus Tokaku-san) and Haru (versus Ichinose), and Tokaku actually smiled (as opposed to the devil-may-care grin she had in Episode 2/3).

 

BTW, Haru is a total trooper. Successfully escaped from Banba three times by retaliating back. Mad respect from me. 💪

 

Next -- Episode 10! You know what that means? Sumireko's debut! 😁

I don't remember being too attached to Sumireko's character, the last time I watched Akuma no Riddle. But I've recently learned that Sumeriko and Sonia (from DR2) share the same voice actress and uhhh... I'm going to be paying close attention to her voice, now. 619039042725740563.gif?v=1

イノチノカラクリ (Mechanical Workings of Life)

魔のリドル (Riddle Story of the Devil) Episode 10 Ending Theme

Vocals: Sumireko Hanabusa (CV: Miho Arakawa)

 

Sumireko and Sonia (from DR2) share the same voice actress, which is why I decided to rewatch Akuma no Riddle. 🥰

Total coincidence that both characters are aristocratic, or depicted as such. I guess Arakawa has that sorta voice? 🤔

 

Some brief thoughts about Episode 10 and Hanabusa, spoiler'd to avoid spoiling the anime for others:

Spoiler

I thought Haru was decently likeable before, but Episode 10 inflated that feeling a by hundredfold. Crafty with her diversions, quick on her feet (literally and intellectually), and unwaveringly stares down the figurative gun's barrel. That sort of capability and resolute determination garners a substantial amount of respect from me.

 

Hanabusa, as a character, is alright. The climatic reveal (and literally revealing her clothes, hehe) was interesting, but not awfully shocking or moving. Might also fall into Isuke's trap of being too cocky with her assassination approach and execution, but I like her personality faaar better than Inukai's. 😅

 

Also, role reversal time: whereas before Haru was depicted as the oblivious assassination victim and Tokaku the stalwart, hyper-aware defender, now Haru's serious demeanor suggests she knows more than she initially let on, and Tokaku (as well as the watcher) is the one that's confused and ignorant of the behind-the-scenes that are going on.

 

Friggin' plot is so good, dang it. 662101730791522336.gif?v=1

That one is really good. Also his Edgar Allan Poe is pretty good, too. I just love the layers to the verses and how jam-packed with tidbits of info but also pop culture at the same time. I couldn't pick a favorite if I tried...

Survival

魔のリドル (Riddle Story of the Devil) Episode 11 Ending Theme

Vocals: Nio Hashiri (CV: Yoshino Nanjō)

 

IT'S NANJO, Y'ALL.

YOSHINO. NANJO. From fripSide. Also Eri from Love Live. And a thousand other brilliant character voices.

Pls gib the song a listen? 😁

 

Super ironic that she's singing about being imperfect. Nanjo is analogous with flawless, in my eyes. Incredibly hard-working, incredibly talented, incredible person that I respect a great deal.

 

Some thoughts and major spoilers about Episodes 11-12 and Nio, spoiler'd to avoid spoiling the anime for others:

Spoiler

Nio is a brilliantly sly lil' character. Comes off as a nosy pest, but quietly kicks ass and actually doesn't afraid of anything. 😁 I mean, both she and Hanabusa kicked Takechi's ass at different times, but Takechi was willing to have another go against Hanabusa, and only froze up in fear when she met Nio again.

Loved how she kept her card hidden and stayed at the sidelines until the absolute last minute. And mixing in half-truths with half-lies to get close to Haru? Yesss! That is the mark of a good liar and a capable antagonist. 👏 Although, that's been her M.O. all along -- always telling the truth, but also always lying by omission, only feeding the class's assassins bits and pieces of the truth to manipulate their motivations and actions. Suuuch a devious lil' brat, gotta respect her. 😆

 

Episode 11 and 12 are kinda connected, and they wrap up the Akuma no Riddle anime. If I'm being honest, the first time I watched the anime, I did not understand the ending at all. Tokaku decides to kill Haru? The heck does she mean by she'll decide her own path? Which Tokaku was the real one and which one was the Nio-imposter? 😩

 

Six years later, I'm watching the ending, and I think I understand it better. Might need to brew on it for a bit longer for the threads to fully connect, but I have a fuzzy picture of the events and the character's motivations:

  • Haru rejects her lineage and their plan to have her become the next "Queen Bee," or successor. All she wants is an ordinary, humble life, not to be the next leader of some feudal legacy.
  • Tokaku realizes that she and Haru have family structures that are more alike than different -- she does notice this in Episode 1/2, but now, she understands that they are both small puppets to be used in their lineage's long-term agendas.
  • Tokaku decides to use her advance notice and targets Haru's life, with the goal of freeing Haru from the weight of her lineage's burden. Haru doesn't understand this at first, and is noticeably confused and emotionally hurt (reflecting the watcher's confusion).
  • Nio (freaking Nio, such a good villain 😆) uses her Kuzunoha illusory powers to appear as Tokaku and saves Haru from Tokaku. As they run, Nio explains the Azuma and Kuzunoha context that the series has been dropping references to since Episode 1. Haru (and the watchers) automatically trust and assume Nio-Tokaku is the genuine Tokaku, since all Tokaku's done up 'til now is protect Haru.
  • Tokaku interrupts the running pair, and the two Tokakus fight. There's a shot of the bullet grazing (rather, flying through) Nio-Tokaku's forehead -- makes sense, as Nio is slightly shorter than Tokaku -- this is the reveal that the Tokaku protecting Haru is a phony.
  • After Nio-Tokaku is defeated, Haru picks up a stray blade and comes to the realization that Tokaku is after her life to fulfill her wish, which her lineage won't grant -- to be free of her family's burden, by losing the assassination game.
  • Haru dives into Tokaku's waiting blade. RIP. 😂 Well, Tokaku wins the assassination game, so she gets one wish to be granted.
  • Next shot, Haru is graduating from Class Black, and every other assassin is alive and kicking (except Chitaru, who's hospitalized). If I'm interpreting correctly, Tokaku's wish might have been along the lines of "For Haru and her classmates (assssins) to graduate successfully from Class Black." This would effectively retcon Haru's "death," as well as the fatal injuries of her other classmates (assassins).

 

Also, dear me, protect this angel: 😭

5e1ec9306b52aa0d7d68b77f1c40ccb0e4c3cb6e

Headcanon that Chitaru forgave Hitsugi because I need my ship to sail, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAAAND. 😂

"Forgiveness" has been a theme of the series, anyway.

 

...Wait, there's one more episode and ending theme left. Episode 13, or the OVA. The one that I call the "cursed episode," because nothing goes right and it's just fanservice.

 

It's so bad it's good. 🤣
