Anime original about a murderer-detective who enters other murderers' minds to unpack the details of their murders. Has been good so far, will it hold up for the ending?

I'm enjoying it, a lot of interesting stuff introduced so far.
In one of the episodes they were talking about John Walker and one of them was like "what if he's like Kaeru and he's actually just some type of feature of the machine" and they didn't really address it. Then in the last episode they emphasized how no-one operating it has any idea about the origins of it. Given that it seems weird that they hang onto the idea that John Walker is a physical person that's out there meeting all of these serial killers.
Also there's some stuff that they should know that hasn't been explained (or maybe I missed it) but is John Walker in the same place every time the dive into the same well again like the NPCs? Or does he move around entering/leaving the wells in outside-world time? Have they ever tried to communicate? Does he act differently from well to well?

I have a question about the latest episode
So her senior noticed she had the traits of a serial killer in her, even going as far as maskingher own intent to kill. But was it left explicit if she had killed anyone before that? I don't feel like rewatching the past episodes just to check if they mentioned it before

I don't remember it being explicitly stated either, but it could've been alluded it and I missed it as well.
There was also the lady asking to talk to her and the way I interpreted it was she wanted to talk about the hole in the girl's head but she really wanted to ask about her being a serial killer. Also I think maybe before there was a line where the guy said something about "something we have in common" that was apparently not the hole.

Amazing how it starts to come together with best detective instead of the strawberry baka and his interest rate level k/d.
If she dives in the chair within her dive, is there someone in her dive that can extract her back into the 1st-level dive? In that case she could start to become self-aware that she's diving which would probably have some sort of implication that I'm not thinking of.

What was the point of how MC fought challenger? Is MC just extremely emotionally volatile? He learned absolutely nothing and he could have just shot him off the bat.

The scene where Narifushigi realizes he's been living a dream for years and needs to let go of his wife/child again was pretty sad! I almost cried. Then he gets mindbroke by Perforater immediately after the poor guy just can't catch a break
Was Kaeru-chans talk of disintegrating and merging with the world supposed to mirror the destruction of Narihikaru's double dive world? Could she also be an ID diver, using the OG machine? I think either the new doctor studying dreams (is he even real?) is himself John Walker, or John Walker is a construct Kaeru-chan made using his image.
And when does the ED single come out? I've been waiting for thirty million years now

I think she's gonna be a psych who does it without an OG machine, and the one who induced teh mass coma in the real world too.

what's that guy's deal anyway? He knew that by taking off the binds they would wander into the desert (maybe it was his way of investigating the well to find out who it belonged to) but he couldn't have known that they would find another OG chair there. Or did he? And if so, for what purpose?
I really hope this won't be just an asspull to move the plot forwad in a "oh so convoluted" way.

Please NO! Keep the story grounded and realistic with no magical powers. Was there mass coma in the real world? I thought it only happened in the double dive but I can't remember
>what's that guy's deal anyway?
Can't get answers or screw over Narihijiri if they're just chilling nearby Kaeru-chan until the operators arbitrarily extract them. He's got brain problems so it's almost pointless trying to figure out his deeper motives, but I think he just wants to kick the anthill a little. The second machine is a lucky coincidence that he's taking advantage of for curiosities sake now that Narihisaburou guinea pigged it. Or maybe not. The writers will pull out any random thing to justify his actions because he's crazy after all

Yes, she was saved from the Challenger IRL and sent to a hospital. Then some mass coma afflicted all the staff and she disappeared. inb4 she is John Walker or some shit
>but I think he just wants to kick the anthill a little
that's plausible. I still call bullshit that somehow he did a bunch of stuff while people weren't looking.
In spite of all this, this is probably my favorite anime this season so far.

Oh no! Now that they're entering the wrap up they're introducing a bunch of elements that, if not handled very carefully, will retroactively ruin all the mystery! I was afraid of this but I'll wait warmly for next week to see how it pans out. The chief being John Walker was a really lame and obvious choice
The backstory for Perforator completely blindsided me even though there were hints and clues and made me all of a sudden realize how much I REALLY like that dude. All of his 'crazy' hole talk and killings now make perfect sense, his character design is cool and unique, and his seiyuu is wowgood for the role. One of the best characters in recent memory I hope he makes it out ok

I also like Perforator, and I thought this episode was pretty great. The show has been strong the whole way through. I like how it balanced early stand alone episodes with later serialised episodes and connected them all. All this has to do is end in a somewhat satisfying way and its easy AotS (if you're not counting sequels).

Good show. I can see it takes its inspiration from The Cell and Inception. The only really disappointing thing for me is that who John Walker was was not that surprising to me. The clues laid led to it so it's not a nonsensical twist, but I wish it was a little more shocking.

I think that's one of this problem for this kind of genre, it's almost always one of these:

>Makes sense and is unpredictable but is ultimately disappointing because it's some unmentioned literal who that was only introduced when it was time for the reveal
I guess my question to you guys would be : what show/movie actually handles the reveal of the secret villain in a good and intelligent way?

OG Law and Order. The trick is you have to have a cast of suspects that manipulate your information and each have multiple layers of motivations/connections to the crime. We knew absolutely nothing about the villain in this and therefore had no reason to suspect him or be surprised it was him.
But I'm not grading this strictly as a whodunnit-mystery, it's a psychological thriller to me.
