tbh i hate how they made it really obvious who would be the killer to anime only people since theyve actually shown a brown bear before during the festival and it wouldve been cool if they used an old character to make it seem like he'd been hiding in plain sight but instead theres a new silver dude whos only purpose is to be the killer :/
a friend who i’ve been watching the episodes with had the same complaint (she’s read the manga already), and i can definitely understand it. i think the brown bear we see during the festival in s1 Was supposed to be riz 🤔 not sure why they changed his color in s2. personally i cant really say for sure how “obvious” it is that riz in the killer in the anime bc im a manga reader so i already know. tho i will say that the scene on the rooftop seemed to focus on riz quite a bit djslkjdf
i dont think this issue is specific to the anime tho. ppl have pointed out before that the “murder mystery” aspect of the murder resolution arc isnt much of a mystery. legosi just kind of solves it and the readers arent given much chance to draw their own conclusions. prior to legosi calling riz out as the murderer he hardly speaks or stands out much in the manga.
i appreciate that the anime tried to draw out more of the mystery aspect of this arc. tho i feel like w/o making major revisions to the story (im talking like making riz stand out a bit more as a character in previous arcs) the anime only had two choices on how to handle this, and it was either make the killer really obvious, or have the killer kinda revealed out of nowhere.
