Wasn’t originally planning to pick this one up, but then I saw an upcoming video on Sou’s channel for *some* anime song and found out it was supposed to be this show’s OP when I looked into it, and that is more than enough reason to pick this up on a whim. Well, that and Kouki Uchiyama voicing the titular Arne (I guess only when he’s in his older form, though?).

- [This feels rather meta, hah.](https://i.imgur.com/V1NSU2Y.png) [](#kukuku)

- [Aw man, that was his dad?](https://i.imgur.com/p3Y57mO.png) [](#sadholo)

- Ooh, that is a *funky* OP, nice. [](#listen)

- [Aw…](https://i.imgur.com/fdHq54f.png)

- [So those two are *also* interested in investigating the murders, huh?](https://i.imgur.com/fAvpD7Q.png) [](#rengethink)

- [Shimmering sky!](https://i.imgur.com/UQ5b4RL.png)

- [Oh this is pretty too.](https://i.imgur.com/Mm7KCMB.png) [](#neat)

- [Louis…](https://i.imgur.com/LwKpHBx.png) [](#therethere)

- [This is some interesting logic for why the killer isn’t a vampire.](https://i.imgur.com/PB9cbNC.png) [](#azusalaugh)

- [LMAO alright then.](https://i.imgur.com/yJyJZkK.png) [](#laughter)

- [Lynn *really* likes vampires.](https://i.imgur.com/RMDOEua.png) [](#kukuku2)

- [Right after Louis figured something out…?](https://i.imgur.com/zKMZAwT.png)

- [Oh *shit*, that’s what the blood on the flower on the handkerchief was about.](https://i.imgur.com/hlpiTNp.png) [](#gasp)

- [Geez…](https://i.imgur.com/uQVpMlv.png)

- [Ah](https://i.imgur.com/6eYYl3V.png), so a [the supernatural *was* still involved.](https://i.imgur.com/eqKZyBk.png) [](#emiliaohdear)

- [Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh](https://i.imgur.com/LJlEGkG.png) [](#ohfuck)

- [Ooooooookay then wasn’t expecting Louis to turn into a zombie after that.](https://i.imgur.com/xlJn4bu.png) Good for him getting his revenge…?

- Well that was certainly *interesting*, making it seem like Louis was going to be the MC by having the episode be from his perspective just to kill him off. Looks like synopsis gives it away that Louis *isn’t* the MC, but I went into this without reading that (I only looked at the cast list + the Sou thing), and I think that works.

Ashteron2026-01-06 20:32

>Well, that and Kouki Uchiyama voicing the titular Arne (I guess only when he’s in his older form, though?).

The young form is Aimi Tanaka aka Umi from SP and Umaru-chan. Pretty insane range tbh.

litchiclaw2026-01-08 20:04

But wait, there's more! Aimi Tanaka is a voice actress for a vocaloid Otomachi Una, which voice was used for the original 'The Case book of Arne' game soundtrack. I find it quite fascinating, I mean, it's so... thoughtful 😳

RedRocket40002026-01-12 00:20

Worked for me.

DocMcCoy2026-01-06 19:28

"Wer anderen eine Grube gräbt, fällt selbst hinein" is an actual German saying, proper German and all.

fuzaco2026-01-06 19:28

It was a pretty good first episode, and it definitely took me by surprise that they killed off Louis, since he was front and center in the marketing. Seems like this is gonna be a fun supernatural detective show.

Beautiful-Bit39292026-01-06 19:36

Didn't read the synopsis and thought Louis was the main character, so wasn't expecting him to did

But he is still there in the thumbnail so he might be alive somehow or is a zombie now

Wiila282026-01-06 22:03

It pisses me off when they do that lol

whores-doeuvres2026-01-07 07:50

Same, I was waiting for him to get turned into a vampire or something so he'd survive. I should have know better since the show is named after Arne and not Louis.

Free_Knee65492026-01-09 01:40

He is in the intro so I guess he will be back maybe the necromancer turned him into a zombie

Medical_Might34772026-01-12 04:55

I'm thinking the same; not only because he's in the opening sequence, but the thumbnail/promo image for the anime features him in with the core set of characters. It seems weird to have him featured that way when they could have placed another core support character there.

But... it could just be because I really liked that character and would like to see more of him. That and my brain latched onto Lous responding that he would "consider it" when the offer to join Arne's agency after the case was solved. I'd honestly be a bit bummed if they developed such a good character for just one episode, especially since so many series struggle to develop that kind of exposition for their mains.

Aki0080352026-01-10 10:53

I mean, in The Case Files of Vanitas, Noa is technically the MC since the story is told through his perspective. Same case in Case Files of Jeweler Richard too with Seigi. I thought this was gonna be a Sherlock Holmes style story where we see the title character through the MC's perspective.

Shantotto112026-01-07 20:06

Gave me the Talentless Nanao/Junpei in Jujutsu High treatment…

Free_Knee65492026-01-09 01:27

I thought he was the one who transformed into the taller vampire until I saw the short arne. When Arne showed up I was like WTF is Louis then especially at the end when it looks like he is dead. He can't be dead because he is in the intro alot! I guessing maybe he becomes a zombie or something since the frankenstein looking woman is a necromancer

AlonsoQ2026-01-09 01:36

this is what happens when you don't trust in the power of friendship, kids. you get scooped out like a tub of neapolitan ice cream.

DocMcCoy2026-01-06 19:36

"Wer anderen eine Grube gräbt, fällt selbst hinein" (those who dig pits for others will fall in themselves) is an actual German saying, proper German an all. Meaning that if you want to trick somebody, you're likely to fall for the scheme yourself or otherwise hurt yourself.

There's also several "funny" malapropisms. Including "Wer anderen eine Grube gräbt, der hat ein Grubengrabgerät" (who digs pits for others, has a pit digging machine), and "Wer anderen eine Bratwurst brät, der hat ein Bratwurstbratgerät" (who grills Bratwurst for others, has a Bratwurst grill machine). Mostly because they rhyme and sound silly. A Grubengrabgerät is not a real word, that would be something like a Bagger, and neither is a Bratwurstbratgerät, that's a Grill. But they're valid words to form by German grammar and are therefore funny words

Namaryu2026-01-06 20:04

That opening has no right being this good. The ending of episdoe shook me.

Fengrax2026-01-07 15:24

The Opening is giving me a mix of Panic at the Disco!, something im not quite sure about and in the beginning a bit of baccano. Like it very much!

Downtown-Affect18932026-01-06 20:18

Couldnt the vampire turn him? im going to be pissed off if he trully died as wasnt brought back as something else

yameretzu2026-01-06 21:21

yeah I actually liked him more than Arne and the other characters so i might not watch it if he's just dead. It just feels like he was killed off for shock factor.

Eliv2026-01-06 20:30

I am surprised nobody brought up the fact that Arne looked like a vampire and his other assistant looked like a zombie

tripleaamin2026-01-06 20:51

Kind of surprised they didn't try to hide. It made the reveals at the end a bit underwhelming.

diacewrb2026-01-06 21:28

But people like Louis don't believe in the supernatural, so people might think he is just some oddball kid cosplaying as a vampire.

Arne is out and about during daylight hours, so people might think he can't be a real vampire.

Snoo913112026-01-07 02:24

I'm currently watching it (\~15 minutes in) and I'm thinking 'That's obviously a vampire. What do you mean vampires don't exist, you're literally talking to one'.

OnlyStomas2026-01-09 20:32

SAME

Aemiliana_Rosewood2026-01-07 14:01

Reveal is a strong word for how obvious it was

Rough-Working86492026-01-10 01:53

But it's in the trailer. No one watching the show was surprised

detectiveconan48692026-01-06 21:24

Yeah I’m like shouldn’t this kid question his ears?

flamethrower22026-01-07 01:55

I have not been spoiled at all and thought it could be X or it could be a weird fashion choice.

ceribaen2026-01-07 17:37

I was debating whether or not he was trapped in a delusion the whole time.

OnlyStomas2026-01-09 20:26

Right? It’s funny in a “seriously? You’re kidding right?” Sort of way when he told them vampires don’t exist while there’s a kid with fangs and pointy ears sitting in front of him? Like???? HUH?

And then dude tells him he smells blood too like how much more obvious can that be?

Granted I’m only 15 minutes through lol

Latter-Air27422026-01-06 20:31

My guess is the big buff blonde dude with closed eyes. He was there at the start of the crime scene.
Well, the red goulash makes sense. Eww. and I think the Arne vamp kid ate that goulash at the start so he knew.

tripleaamin2026-01-06 20:54

Not really a fan of stuff lately from Silver Link, but gave it a try. Pretty solid first episode. So right in this world from this episode we have

* Vampires
* Witches
* Necromancers.

Decent first episode. Tbh I was confused by the mentioning of vampires and thinking, isn't Arne a vampire? Anyway, good enough to continue watching more. I wonder if the cases will continue to be episodic or if they will be a bit more elaborate.

cleaulem2026-01-06 21:24

Killing of Louis in the end was really a twist. He gave all the main character vibes this episode.

This is not the first time that get Youko Hikasa voicing a badass ice queen servant. And this alone is one reason to love this show.

I loved how Arne and Amy didn't do anything to hide that they are a vampire and a zombie. But Louis didn't seem to notice that at all. Propably because he was so fixated in his believe that they possibly can't exist.

detectiveconan48692026-01-06 21:25

Looks like we have another decoy protagonist.

cppn022026-01-06 22:29

Decent start. Going in pretty much blind I did not expect Louis to die.

I remember thinking Arne's name is a bit silly but having now heard it spoken out loud and then looking at the katakana the English translation also clearly misspells it for some reasons!?!
It should be Neuntöter not Neuntöte.

mekerpan2026-01-07 02:35

I was suspicious/worried because the show was NAMED after Arne....

litchiclaw2026-01-08 20:21

Well, according to the official translation of the original game, he is actually Neuntöte and not Neuntöter. I mean, even Vaka Game Magazine calls him Neuntöte on the English game page. I guess 'Neuntöter' in katakana has something to do with the Japanese pronunciation, but I'm not sure

cppn022026-01-08 20:34

If it would be Neuntöte in Japanese too then katakana should be テ.

タ means it has an -er word ending.

Because that's how the transliteration between German and Japanese works.

Clearly something went wrong here and they either straight up made a mistake from the start by naming him Neuntöte or the 'r' got lost somewhere along the way and noone bothered to correct it.

litchiclaw2026-01-08 21:29

Oh, I didn't know about the translation rules between German and Japanese. I thought タ is just 'ta' and doesn't necessarily mean '-er'. Thanks for the explanation!

And yet, the official translation is still 'Neuntöte'. So I think the only ones who know the answer (and the ones who made a mistake) are the creators themselves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-06 23:29

Well damn, I wasn't expecting Louis to die in the end, I thought one of the two girls would have an ability to revive him and he'd be immortal or something, but it seems like the necromancy was a temporary thing and Louis isn't actually a main character. That was an interesting twist.

I was also surprised by Odo's lack of presence, I thought he was the next target after it got revealed Adelina went after large men, and his voice actor, but he got killed off screen and wasn't even an accomplice.

I do hope the next mystery will be solved in a slower pace, I'd like to enjoy the mystery.

flamethrower22026-01-07 01:58

I think the plushie in Ms. Necromancer's arms in the final shot is Louis. We never saw it the whole rest of the episode except for then.

goddessofthewinds2026-01-07 02:06

The voice sounded different though? Maybe I just hallucinated, but I seriously thought the voice was different. However, she didn't have the plushie before, so I feel like you might be on to something. Probably will be looking at reviving him at some point?

I will definitely watch more, I've gotten intrigued. The previous anime I watched that killed the "main" protag of episode 1 was quite decent and I watched it to the end, so I'm hopeful this one might also be a decent watch. I like when writers try different things and do not follow the same old formula.

mekerpan2026-01-07 02:42

Well the pug(?) plushie has a male VA -- unless Mariya Ise can do non-child male voices....

Lraund2026-01-07 04:38

A kid solves the case before the brilliant detective, then they follow the kid only to watch him die, that's some amazing work right there.

Also why would a fresh zombie already look rotted?

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-07 19:53

You bring up a good point, it could just be that's what happens with her necromancy.

coffeecakesupernova2026-01-06 23:56

This is so cute! I love the OP. It's very different from what I expected, which was a very poorly animated vampire romance. I like the mystery angle.

Isn't that the MC in the OP? I was waiting for that ending to happen so we could get on with the story.

Edit: Welp, I was so wrong. Guess I should finish the episode before commenting...

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-07 00:35

Supernatural detective series with vampires and other ghoulies? Yeah, I’m sold.

Der_Zorn_Gottes2026-01-07 03:16

It's not Undead Girl Murder Farce, but I'll give it a chance.

elite-alice12026-01-07 00:43

[removed]

flamethrower22026-01-07 02:02

It will be near last in the weekly ranking. I don't think many people are watching this.

Parts are poorly animated. They spent their budget on the key scene, and that was a great decision. It needed it to land and it came out well. It's a mystery or something and they never showed the whole "scene of the death", which is usually the basis for investigation.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-07 00:53

Random thoughts:

Vampires and mysteries go together like peanut butter and chocolate! Wasn't sure exactly what to think, but it starts off the bat with parental murder and a horribly killed decoy protagonist (who eliminates the bad guy in a kind of brutal way). Leans much more in the horror category than I was expecting.

I kind of expected there to be a scene or something showing that the character was now a zombie or something, but nope. So now the question is did they troll us with a decoy protagonist or is something happening next week that brings him back. Guess it gives me an excuse to tune in next week.

pi8you2026-01-07 01:27

Not sure I'm sold on the series yet, having spent the whole episode with a main character fakeout, though that's a point in its favor. The OP is also a delight unto itself and another reason to stick around for now.

The_Parsee_Man2026-01-07 02:06

The OP is really good. It's supposed to be a detective series and the detecting was pretty weak though.

Mykeeehh2026-01-08 09:18

I hope it'll get better in the upcoming episodes. The detecting was way better in the game and kept surprising me, but maybe they just made it simple for the starting episode🤷‍♂️

ActualRound76992026-01-07 02:15

just started but it seems fun. looking forward to watching the characters develop further.

Muffin-zetta2026-01-07 03:30

Wait! Louis Didn’t join the crew?

snowwhitecat04aug2026-01-07 04:33

hold on this is actually good

djthomp2026-01-07 04:42

Very fun cast of characters.

I'm suspicious that the necromancer zombie nun is going to be bringing back Louis more going forward, one of the places he shows up in the OP is right after she raises a bunch of other corpses.

Kind of wild that the solution to the episode one mystery was the seemingly kind lady being revealed as a murderous witch who was then killed on screen by being graphically stabbed multiple times in the head.

Aggravating-Elk-74092026-01-07 06:01

jesus fucking christ how many tuesday shows are there

JamesSomdet2026-01-07 06:29

I have never actually had an anime do a fakeout on me with the MC before! I had that happen with a certain famous video game, but I was very surprised. That was very smart, because you get your reader attached to the MC in that short time and kill him off. So sad though. Louis was such a good boy. Had so potential, all cut down.

DocMcCoy2026-01-07 13:41

I've seen that once with an isekai, and people were pissed. Especially since the fake male MC got replaced by the actual female one. AIl these clowns saying how they're dropping it because of that, because they can't relate to a woman as a protag.

JamesSomdet2026-01-07 15:04

Ngl that sounds absolutely hilarious. Anime creators need to experiment with having a really hot female MC with big tits, big ass, everything and then killing her off. Bait and switch with a regular male MC. That would probably cause the most extreme reaction and I would be laughing my ass off

follow-meme22026-01-08 20:15

I do remember a 2000's anime (rei-zero?) That did this too. Had a whole team of demon killers that looked like they won the day then a bigger demon kills the whole team, the support crew girl shoots herself cause of a demon parasite, then the real girl protagonist comes out and easy kills the second demon.

Heck I remember another one about people having a soul book that appears when you die. The whole first arc has this normal guy be involved with this team of badges book keepers then to reveal that he too was a zombie book and was only alive through the villain.

Terrible-Dig73112026-01-07 06:48

Anyone else pissed off that louis just died like that I mean I get why they did it for shock value idk normally id be all for something like that but for some reason I just dont even want to watch it now

NewNowArt2026-01-07 21:36

That’s exactly how I feel, I think it’s because Louis was actually interesting as a character and it would have been fun to see him involved in supernatural cases

DazenTheMistborn2026-01-10 02:37

On a positive note, it shows that they can make an interesting character arc over one episode for a side individual. I have to imagine they are able to do this again, or even better, for any long-standing arc this season.

NightmareExpress2026-01-08 05:01

Sorta (I was looking forward to seeing him patched up and being roped into helping solve a new world of supernatural cases as payment) but I mean uh...the last supernatural detective anime I watched (with the beheaded immortal lady & oni) also had a bunch of deaths like this and a not so morally sound group of protagonists so I guess I was kind of ready for it.

Emergency-Onion45592026-01-08 10:04

I’m decently sad about Louis just dying like that. They basically sent him to the grave to which makes me mad. They clearly had an idea that the person committing these crime was also supernatural.

Ugh I was so interested in Louis as a character and him having his world turned upside down by this revelation. Like he’s decently shown in the OP could he maybe not be gone for good….

Thomas_JCG2026-01-09 01:00

Shock value is a telltale sign of weak writing.

Striking_Chard24202026-01-07 07:37

So... is Louis like gone gone? Definitely wasn't expecting that considering he's on the cover. Also how is no one batting an eye over Arne's ears and the literal zombie girl lol

FlameDragoon9332026-01-07 07:47

I want a crossover between this and Undead Girl Murder Farce.

Detectives in a setting where the supernatural is real! I love that trope/premise.

Silentshhhadow2026-01-07 15:29

Frfr that would be very interesting

EmrldGhost66242026-01-07 08:10

I guess I'll see you all again in a week when I get answers from the new episode but I'm really lost when it comes to Louis. He's front and center for the show's poster, and his story for the first episode takes up the entire synopsis on crunchyroll. Personally I did think it was weird how little the opening sequence focused on him, favoring the vampire and the blonde girl. I suspected we would have at least a dual main character situation seeming as the title was called the casebook of Arne. At the very least I thought the show would lean into Louis being our audience insert somewhat intelligent mystery solver who hangs on the coat-tails the of the "professional" detective. Now I feel like i'm gonna watch some promotional material change over the course of this week as crunchyroll has to recenter the show around the remaining protagonists. Not necessarily a bad opening, it just feels poorly executed.

NoHead17152026-01-07 08:29

This was a good intro episode. Loved that they did a switcheroo with the apparent MC. His flag was set the moment he said he'd "think about it". But yeah, I have no doubt the necromancer nun will bring him back, even as a plushie for the time being,

KinkyKangaroo312026-01-07 11:52

My only complaint with the first episode is the fact that they took the credit for solving the mystery as Lynn said at the end of the episode. I was genuinely pissed off that they didn't credit Louis at all and that they just went on with their lives despite having the potential to save this kid and then just not doing anything until he is beyond saving. Probably won't continue watching just cos of how much that annoyed me. The fact that Lynn has the AUDACITY to say "another mystery solved by us!" Or something along those lines is mental to me.

BotherSpecialist82762026-01-08 07:49

Exactly!!!! Like I really don't think they would have found out about Adelina before louis and especially since Lynn was pretty much admiring Adelina so much..... And Louis was the best character till now and they had to kill him.... Credit belonged to Louis

Aemiliana_Rosewood2026-01-07 14:05

What a trash show. Neither detective solved the case at all. Louis got the answer from his dad. His behavior was stupid all along and as such he died for no good reason. Arne could've helped him and saved him easily. No way the literal child running suddenly out of their tea meeting wouldn't make them follow him sooner/quicker. The pacing of this show is a mess, the progression of events made no sense and worst of all, everything happening was utterly pointless. Show also looks just odd.

All in all, I can't wait for the next episode.

L33tHaxorus2026-01-07 14:10

Did he really let Louis die so he could aura farm? They had plenty of time to catch up to him and it's not like a normal human kid could outrun a vampire.

Silentshhhadow2026-01-07 15:39

Does anyone have any information about where you can find the manga to this if there even is one, because I know that there’s a video game. I have been searching all over and I’ve been finding some places saying that there is one and then someplace’s saying that there isn’t. I just want the facts At this point.

The first episode hooked me so quickly I wanna continue to read if I’m able to.

Springeko2026-01-09 00:02

I don't know where to find it in english but yes it exists, there are four volumes covering the first chapter of the game

Silentshhhadow2026-01-09 16:47

Thank you

sandragonsand2026-01-07 15:45

I'm a little disappointed Louis turned out to be a decoy protagonist since I felt like he rounded out the other characters pretty well, so I'm coping it's a double fakeout and he comes back as a ghost or something in episode 2.

That said, a straightforward supernatural mystery series with no slop qualities is enough to keep me watching regardless.

I_Vespera2026-01-07 17:41

Louis?? 💀

HotBloodedNinja2026-01-07 18:40

You know, I am not in the mood of seeing any white lilies at the moment, specially not a whole field of them.

TechnicalCarpenter252026-01-08 01:18

What kind of supernatural being will Louis turn into now that he has a huge hole in the middle of his torso?

aegirsson_jolan2026-01-08 03:54

I might watch the next episode, but unless there's a surprise, it will probably be the second, and especially the last, episode of this series that I watch. The stupid and pointless death of the only protagonist who seemed even remotely developed and interesting doesn't make me want to continue. First, the detective doesn't react to the kid's strange ears, but even more bizarrely, he doesn't react to the nun's patched-up pieces of skin, a different color and with clearly visible stitching marks. Then there's the kid who isn't saved, even though he easily could have been. And then there's the flower field, watered with blood, which should leave visible traces of its watering for quite some time, and then still be there the next day...

I really like how the anime has some references to the game! As someone who played the game 5 years ago, I'm happy to see the fandom growing because of the new anime. I also like how they didn't change the way Lynn and Arne act compared to the game. Seeing this first episode made me really happy, and it even surprised me a few times

Though the title was The Case book of Arne, I guess I'm not the only one who thought that Louis was the protagonist of this story since he was introduced first 😭😭

At least he got his revenge on the witch as a zombie.

There's one thing you need to know. This anime is based on a game (which I'm a big fan of). And in the game, we have no character named Louis. He's a completely new character who appears in the anime only. Actually, some fans of the game were kinda pissed off because of this, like, 'We want to see more Lynn and Arne, not some random guy who was added to the plot for some reason.' Maybe all this plotline was... well, a prank for these fans or something?

And yes, I think Louis will appear again. And no, the plushie boy is DEFINITELY not him.

Leaving Louis aside, damn, I'm so happy. Lynn and Arne are exactly what they are in the game. They even added this line where Lynn says about using each other, which is a really important concept from the game... omg I'm so happy I want to scream about it everywhere

Honestly had my undivided attention for most of the episode but that last like 5 minutes fully ruined my interest in the show. This is basically "undead murder farce" with children detectives imo.

If ep. 2 isn't fire I probably won't finish watching.

Why did they put Louis on the cover art if he literally dies the first episode??? I thought he was important lol
