"Auf jeden Regen folgt auch Sonnenschein", again, that *is* a proper German proverb, with proper German grammar and all

Good on them for not botching it. That *shouldn't* be praise-worthy, but I've seen awful examples in the past :P

melindypants2026-01-13 20:49

I'm loving all the German - thanks for these and hopefully they keep it up!

Ok-Virus82842026-01-13 22:32

I am more surprised they used the ß on the tombstone for Lynn's mother (Reinweiß). They did butcher some of the names, like Neuntöte instead of Neuntöter.

cleaulem2026-01-13 23:36

Using the ß correctly is really a great deal. Pluto was a great anime, but it was wild how they butchered the German parts. Gesicht's tombstone had the ß replaced with B, and that wasn't even the worst mess up there. The whole thing gave me a stroke.

I wonder why they made it Neuntöte instead of Neuntöter. I think it might be deliberate, as this word is very specific. There might be even a lot of Germans who don't know what a Neuntöter is. That change is odd, but not unseen in real German family names.

Ok-Virus82842026-01-14 00:17

Frieren is also guilty of not getting it quite right. I mean, it's quite clear what they were trying to do in that anime with the names (and it's a really, really great show, can't wait for S02 to start this week), but they just kind of missed. The German names all represent part of the personality of the character, Frieren for example is quite distant, frosty, which would translate to Frostig in German. It's the same with a lot of the other names.

My guess for why they made it Neuntöte instead of Neuntöter is that r is harder to pronounce for native Japanese speakers. In One Piece for example the main character is named Luffy all over the world, exept in Germany,where they probably got the sound version of the name before the script and named im Ruffy.

cppn022026-01-14 20:09

His name IS Neuntöter. There simply was a mistake at some point in the transliteration and the r was dropped.

The katakana is as you would spell Neuntöter, not Neuntöte, and so is the pronunciation of the Japanese voice actors.

I do appreciate CR's German subs for correcting this obvious mistake.

TyraniTEMPESTar2026-01-13 19:02

Mmm. It seems like Mr. Reinweiß is up to no good.

Wonder if he's been killing people and taking their body parts, to make some sorta like homunculus / zombie replacement of his late wife?
Makes me wonder what that monster was prowling the streets earlier. Maybe Mr. Reinweiß is like Dr. Frankenstein?
Making monsters in hopes of reviving his wife?

melindypants2026-01-13 20:51

That's definitely what it looks like - I wonder what will come of it and her father after this though. The ending reveal was surprisingly brutal too

Tiinpa2026-01-13 19:05

They edited the OP even, what a next level troll last episode.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-13 20:44

Yeah Louis isn't running with the cast, I like that they went through the effort.

Tiinpa2026-01-13 22:18

The spacing is the same though, wonder if that means someone else will slip in.

mythriz2026-01-13 23:23

Would be somewhat hilarious if they keep adding new side characters and killing them off for the necromancer to use

ghostpickleonastick2026-01-14 08:09

Lewis still being in Amy's section and still doing Thriller, chef's kiss.

Causemos2026-01-17 04:25

Good shock value but only a couple have succeeded in keeping me watching after doing something similar.

alcanthro2026-01-19 14:32

It really does feel like trolling. There's subtle misdirection and then there's borderline lying to your audience. This show thinks it did something great by lying to its audience.

So bad in fact that he aged twice as fast as everyone else since then looking at the short flashback that we got,.

Fools_Requiem2026-01-13 19:20

What even was the point of the first episode? I feel like it would have made for a better "Episode 0" type thing to set up the concept without the needless twist.

Supernatural detectives is a good enough draw. This should fill the gap left by the lack of a second season of Undead Murder Farce.

Crunchyroll needs to change their summary and promotional image. Louis should NOT be front and center.

Edit: Dad is attempting necromancy. We were introduced to a stitched up woman capable of necromancy. I wonder if the person the dad is attempting to revive becomes her. The rose colored hair, and her seemingly undying love for Lynn, and the fact that Lynn's mother is named "Rose" kinda suggests this.

Ashteron2026-01-13 19:30

>Crunchyroll needs to change their summary and promotional image. Louis should NOT be front and center.

Spoiling the protagonist fake out by changing summary and promotional images doesn't remotely make sense.

Fools_Requiem2026-01-13 20:37

The show's title is "The Case Book of Arne", not "The Case Book of Louis". There shouldn't have been a protagonist fakeout in the first place.

Ashteron2026-01-13 20:37

And the video game series is called Zelda, not Link.

Fools_Requiem2026-01-13 20:42

Legend of Zelda games don't pretend like Zelda isn't the main protagonist. There is no fake out. [They make it clear in the story crawl at the beginning that you are setting out to rescue her.](https://youtu.be/uyMKWJ5e1kg?si=raHBces0-vs5CfB5)

Ashteron2026-01-13 20:45

I'm just saying the titular character being the protagonist is hardly a rule.

tripleaamin2026-01-13 20:39

Honestly, without reading the summary, watching episode 1, I thought Arne in the title referred to Louis character in the key visual.

Fools_Requiem2026-01-13 20:43

This is also part of the problem. It makes you think that the kid with the detective hat is Arne, and then when they start calling him Louis, it becomes confusing.

Ever-Here2026-01-14 07:08

Nah the fake out was peak.

Throwaway5013952026-01-13 21:43

This reads like a post by someone who either watches these things as side content while doing something else or needs everything explained to them I'm not gonna lie.

I especially don't understand the point you made in another comment that it's confusing because Louis ≠ Arne. Why would that ever be confusing?

Show: "This character is actually called Louis Hartmann"
Me: "Oh now I wonder who this Arne will be"

Where is the confusion here?

I liked the twist, as did many others in the first Episode discussion thread. Saying crunchyroll should change it and rob others of that because you thought the twist was stupid is almost petty in its egotism.
God forbid a show does something different for once and the creators have some fun messing with first time viewers who don't know the game.

Fools_Requiem2026-01-13 22:44

They spoil who Arne is and what he is like midway into the episode. There's literally no surprise outside of the fact that the main character dies.

Edit: They spoil it in the OP and the restaurant scene right after. There was no surprise.

Throwaway5013952026-01-14 13:09

I made no point about Arne or Arne's reveal. What I argued is that saying "it's confusing" because the show is called "The Casebook of Arne" and the first character you meet is not called Arne is a stupid argument.

ShadowGuyinRealLife2026-01-16 22:21

I don't get the point of the first episode either. If you are going to start in medias res, at least start with the actual main characters! The first episode wasn't bad but they could have put it in the middle of the season and bait the viewers into thinking Louis would join the group instead of starting off with him, then swapping to Lynn while going backwards in time.

Ashteron2026-01-13 19:28

Are the stitched corpses gonna result in the stitched-up lady (Amy) from the first episode?

Lynn is surprisingly deranged.

melindypants2026-01-13 20:51

100% was not expecting a vampire fangirl!

For some reason this shows gives me Disgaea vibes

dinliner082026-01-14 12:00

>Are the stitched corpses gonna result in the stitched-up lady (Amy) from the first episode?

huh, i didn't even think of that, i guess it would explain why they show her so attached to Lynn in the first episode

SA0902026-01-13 19:49

I didn’t expect a flashback episode this quickly, but maybe it’s needed? Arne himself and the “boy who cried wolf” are seemingly story characters (either their world or ours) who happen to be real, are there going to be more moving forward? I hope so.

Potentially, Lynn’s dad is collecting parts to bring back her mother and also potentially the stitched up lady from last time (whose name escapes me) is the “failed” attempt of that. Which is definitely an interesting angle to explore for me.

Anyway, not a bad follow up at all and I’m curious to see how this wraps up.

mgedmin2026-01-13 19:54

This was more fun than I expected from the last episode.

tripleaamin2026-01-13 20:41

Lynn is a lot of fun. The whole down bad to be sucked by a vampire, but the blood transaction was the normal human way was nice.

melindypants2026-01-13 20:53

The comedy is hitting better than I thought and it comes with a side brutality - I really am enjoying this one

tripleaamin2026-01-13 21:03

Also this looks better then the usual from silver link.

melindypants2026-01-13 21:04

Very true - I actually used to love the anime they put out, but Silver Link has definitely had a lot of misses these past couple years

DazenTheMistborn2026-01-19 21:24

She's like a vampire otaku and I'm all for it. Really loving her energy, or really the energy of the entire show.

tripleaamin2026-01-13 20:43

Lynn is quite down bad for vampires, but she is a lot of fun. No doubt her father wants to bring back his wife and is refusing to accept she is dead. Honestly, he in the flashback compared to how he is now is just a clear difference. Well, hopefully Arne can stop him.

I have to be honest, episode 0 feels a bit redundant. Maybe they wanted a self-contained case to start things. Tbh you could treat this as episode 1 and not much would be lost.

Ok-Virus82842026-01-13 22:26

Considering his looks, maybe he's being used by some ghost or something like that who claims to be his late wife.

Tradition_Leather2026-01-14 09:29

From what I heard from the comments on the site I watched, episode 0 and Louis is completely original, this episode starts to adapt from the original game.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-13 20:43

They really did extra work to trick the audience last episode, I wanted to see if Louis was still in the OP, he's no longer with the cast but he appears as his zombie self instead.

Seeing Lynn in a tracksuit with penlights was so jarring lol, she even did the wota cheer.

melindypants2026-01-13 20:55

It's funny that he's still part of the show in some way - I'm sure his zombie form will be useful later on for some cases.

I did not expect Lynn to be a vampire fangirl OR go that hard with it *at all* and it was a much welcome surprise lol

ProfessionalRandom212026-01-15 20:55

A show that doesn't respect its own settings for cheap joke, just tell me its going to be terrible with bad writing especially for a detective muder mystery.

DocMcCoy2026-01-13 22:03

Ah, Lynn's a monster fucker

SYZekrom2026-01-13 22:15

Ooh idk how this slipped me by last week.

Lol L human detective boy? Couldn't have followed him just a bit faster so he didn't have to die eh. Sucks to suck ig

Ok episode 2

Damn her father used to be hot

Girl is SO down bad for vampires. I mean yea ig that makes sense from a young girl.

Damn, he wants to try and bring her back to life huh? Don't think it's going to go as well as zombie girl's work in episode 1, and I wouldn't particularly describe that as 'going well' anyway.

...I mean, unless zombie girl somehow *is* the mother he's trying to revive but I don't think so?

I like this gap between her personality as like this comedic MC into vampires that's disconnected from the world in a way MCs usually are, and a girl that's fit within this medieval world with a tragic family

ShadowGuyinRealLife2026-01-13 22:21

Zombie girl isn't Lynn's mother unless there is hair dyeing involved. That would have been pretty funny if it was her though.

Typical_Papaya_57122026-01-13 23:03

Dropping this, for me Louis was the only interesting character.

When everyone is supernatural no one is, it's just boring and generic including the girl.

How am I suppose to believe the vampire kid who is the APEX vampire of all vampires is some amazing detective when he can't even save Louis from being impaled because the writers needed him to die for the fake-out.

They just cut to him being there already without them and instantly dying it's such lazy writing, I do like fake-outs when they're not just straight up plot holes as they wouldn't even know he's there in the first place but they just show up meaning they could've easily saved him by being faster something very much possible for the most powerful vampire.

Then they revive him as a zombie to get his revenge yeah ok sure that's nice I guess. It just falls flat though because of how easily they could've saved him. Not to mention at the end of the last episode they take credit for him solving the case? Am I suppose to like these trio of people? I think they're assholes LOL.

I'm just pissed I got baited with a good detective anime and instead got some supernatural thriller slop.

Ever-Here2026-01-14 07:07

What? the boys biggest trait being "i like hot chocolate and dont beleive in vampires" was the best part...??

Same-Carpet-40832026-01-14 09:29

its certainly better than " i am god like vampire and can one shot this extremely powerful witch weeee" bro this is low tier isekai writing lmfao

Puto_Potato2026-01-15 07:06

Or perhaps "My detective father was murdered by a blood obsessed witch, and now an entire world of the supernatural has just come crashing down around me"? Louis' character had tons of potential, so its kind of sad they just used him as a bait and switch.

I'll keep tabs on this show just incase Louis comes back, but in the meantime, I am agreeing with u/Typical_Papaya_5712

I don't know anything about German, it makes it hard for me to remember the pronunciation of the letters, but I do like how hard they're commiting to the bit

Always respect to another girlie who's into monsters like that,

I know I'm not supposed to think too seriously about a potential time period this vaguely takes place in especially with a magic esque fantasy setting, it's just, zippers feel like a Tiffany situation,

I enjoyed that ED quite a bit!

anti-valentine2026-01-14 00:59

I miss Louis. But Lynn is definitely me when it comes to vampires, especially Arne's normal twink form. Wish he didnt go into that kid form lol. Im intrigued with whete the story is going even though that first episode felt useless.

mmcjawa_reborn2026-01-14 01:04

Random Thoughts:

Hah...When I read that the character of Louis was anime only I figured the studio was trolling us and Louis wouldn't be coming back. He got edited out I think of the OP I think too? Not sure to applaud the excellent trolling or be annoyed that the got me invested in a throwaway character

This setting is very confusing. It's not another world because they reference Japan, Everyone dress like its Victorian times and the city mostly has that feel, while the camera and movies are late 20th century, and the comfy tracksuits and glowsticks are pretty modern.

I like that the real human protagonist is a vampire fangirl, which makes sense given the tomato juice scene from last week. Her reactions were arne were great, especially when Arne taking her blood was the old-fashioned way and not the sexy neck biting.

Dad seems to be building a Frankenstein, to maybe put his wife's soul into? I assume this is the origin of the nun from last week.

Anyway despite the bait and switch, I'll keep following it. Curious how they resolve next week, but I am guessing dad ain't making it out alive.

djthomp2026-01-14 03:51

Man, the disrespect of mostly removing Lewis from the OP and turning him into a zombie for the other bits.

Lynn is adorable, but it's also somewhat questionable to provide a vampire to someone who is such a vampire fangirl. Good thing Arne isn't actually down to suck her blood the vampire way and just does a respectfully clinical blood draw.

I wonder if it's Lynn's mom that Arne knew or an ancestor. Mom was in the loop on the amulet being special and able to help her daughter in a pinch so the right knowledge did get passed down.

Same-Carpet-40832026-01-14 09:23

yeah i dont like shit like that i dont mind getting trolled but wasting my time for 20 minutes isnt something im willing to go along with deff dropped lmfao

Tradition_Leather2026-01-14 09:43

I knew that Louis was anime original character right before the first episode from the comments of the game fans so I'm pretty fine with his episode.

One thing so confusing is that what's the era of it. I thought the modern outfit and the projector was just like add-on au before this episode released, but the camera in Dad's hand of the dream is so confusing.

BaytaCosmico2026-01-14 09:46

Enjoying this a lot more than I expected to. I really only started watching because u/Shimmering-Sky tipped me off on Uchiyama Kouki's presence. But I might just continue for Lynn's sake. She's just such an oddball. Gives me Fujiwara (from Kaguya-sama) vibes.

The way she threw off even Arne was so funny. I wonder if she has any powers of her own though to enable her to contribute to their detective agency. Arne has his OP vampire thing going and the necromancer girl had her bring people back from the dead power. Lynn has to have something of her own, possibly tied to that pendant of hers.

Excited to find out more in time. This promises to be fun. I'm enjoying the vibes. Not too serious or too silly. Just right.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-14 09:58

Look at ‘em doing the ol switcheroo with the OP. Clever. Had us thinking Louis was more important than he really was. Pretty interesting way to introduce us to the cast ngl.

Lynn went from “I miss my mom. Dad needs help.” to “vampires!!! Weeeeee!” lol. Arne thought he’d scare her and instead she’s like “drain me pleeeeease” lmao.

Looks like Lynn’s pops has been dabbling in some dark magic shit.

CelioHogane2026-01-15 12:27

Victorian girl grabbing her modern tracksuit and glowsticks to watch an anime pre-opening and dance to it was not what i expected from this anime.

Embarrassed-Match-782026-01-17 10:44

So what was Arne's and Rose's relationship?

The dad is definitely pulling some Frankenstein type shenanigans given that only "one" person was murdered. I question if this flashback is also Amy's origin story.

Lynn is definitely down to get Sucked hard.

Enjoying the show quite a bit.

Bearsarenotcuddly2026-01-20 02:59

Lewis is in the episode 2 clip when you're looking at episodes so they're gonna straight up troll us. I'm shook
