What a fucking terrible show. Story Written by Erika Yoshida, who is practically a nobody who wrote 3 really bad manga an this I think is the first anime he's written and directed by Masahiro Mukai whose only experience was directing a few episodes or some anime and 1 or 2 movies and OVA's. You see what I'm getting t here? It seems that this show was driven by an inexperienced staff. Here's the problem: This show moves at a ridiculously slow pace, so much filler dialogue Mystery? What mystery? It has none Characters have no motive for their actions Everything gets resolved way to fast, there's no suspense, nothing The villan gets away at the end, I'm not joking here after all that shit he did Akechi leaves him alone.....and we're supposed to be fine with that? Every single character with the exception of kobayashi and to some extent Akechi are either boring or annoying Animation and Sound It's done by TMS, these guys have really high production values and it really shows, absolutely beautiful backgrounds, the colour design all simply well done. Character models look kinda bad though especially coming to the end of the show. The sound design is excellent although at times it can seem awfully quiet and no it does not add to the suspense of anything, it just makes me want to sleep Overall Pass this one, it's got nothing.

LOVE IT ALREADY!!! I REALLY THINK THAT THE START WAS AMAZING XD my first impression about it was good and the plot was funny and you got that from me who watches 50 anime each season*^* so it´s about Hanabasaki Kensuke and Kobayshi Yoshio and Yoshi wants to die because he doesnt want to hurt anybody ;-; So if Yoshi joins Boy Detective´s club then Kensuke promised to kill hme :´) I look forward to it but still a want him to be alive or just turn in to a normal person XD btw I´m maybe changing some of it when I watched more of it :)

*Warning: rating and review are only based on the first episode. Will be updated after finishing or dropping the anime.* First let me warn you that the rating will almost certainly go up or down. If I were rating purely personally I'd give it a 10 but I can't quite do that with only the first episode watched. I was left with too little understanding of anything going on to not lower to rating a bit. At this point the show could either be one of my personal favorites or a huge disappointment. We'll just have to see. I've been excited about this show since hearing about it at the same time I learned more about Edogawa Ranpo (because of Detective Conan of course) recently. So I knew the Boy's Detective team (I keep calling it Shonen Tantei in my head) as well as the Fiend with Twenty Faces were going to show up. After the credits rolled, that was still basically what I knew. The characters were all interesting and easy to recognize for the most part and the futuristic setting was quite exciting. But I spent most of the episode lost. Things happened, exciting things, but I kept getting more questions and almost no answers. Kobayashi Yoshio raised the biggest issues with his odd "protective" shield and his constant attempts to end his life. Hanasaki Kensuke was easily my favorite character (reminding me a great deal of Kudo Shinichi) and the best parts of the episode were his interactions with Yoshio. The animation was quite good and I liked all the voice actors. I'm looking foward to where this show is going this season but this is, so far, the most tenetive of my must watch shows for the fall.
