Aya Rindo is too refined for there to ever be a collection of Aya Rindo vocalizations in the way there are for Kurosawa's roles Kumiko Omae:

and Phosphyllite:

But Kurosawa's "Ichikawa Goemon!" at the end of episode 5 was almost enough to make up for it.

I, too, also called the show Undead Murder Face in the time leading up to and through watching the first episode. My brain had completely wiped the R in Farce from existence lol.

That being said, I love this show. Characters are great, the animation and direction is great. Yashiro Taku is fantastic (as is everyone else.) And this is definitely helping to fill the Rakugo Shinju-sized hole in my life. Between UMF and Happy Marraige, Wednesdays have become one of my favorite days of the week.

I also really enjoyed the "laughing at each other's bad jokes" old married couple's parts, as well as all the instinctual showmanship from aptly named Shinuchi. I mean, the guy wanted to end his life with basically theatrical mass murder-suicide (his life story makes it understandable attitude), it fits him to be unapologetic troll by heart no matter what, and it make for great battle banter.

Also we've just got new episode with Sherlock Holmes, who looks nice and immediately gets into detective detail match with Aya, Arsen Lupin and Phantom from Opera in a totally fujo fuel scene (I've seen someone joke about boat they're on and "implications" from that "Always Sunny" scene), seems like we're gonna be eating good for the next arc as well.

I'm really loving this series. Gives me strong Gosick vibes. Still doesn't top Rent-a-Girlfriend, Masumune-kun's Revenge, My Tiny Senpai or The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses as far as seasonal favorites go though but it's definitely a banger nonetheless.
