Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri

Ron Kamonohashi, the best student in the history of the elite Detective Training Academy BLUE, has been living as a recluse since BLUE expelled him five years ago. Moreover, he is forbidden to work as a detective, having barely escaped execution after getting involved in a murder case while he was still attending the school. Ron's situation changes drastically when police detective Totomaru Isshiki, following the advice of a senior colleague, seeks him out for help with a criminal case that has remained unsolved for months. Ron reluctantly agrees to help Totomaru and uses his phenomenal intuition to discover the culprit in less than a day. However, it appears that Ron suffers from a mysterious condition that can cause those around him to lose their lives. To Ron's great surprise, Totomaru manages to save the life of someone whom Ron put in jeopardy.

As the unlikely duo starts solving crimes one after another, BLUE sends operatives after its former student to find out if he has resumed investigative work. Fighting against murderers, rogue detectives, and the Metropolitan Police Department, Ron and Totomaru must join forces if they want to survive and see justice prevail.

I just finished watching the first season of Kamonohashi Ron no Kinda Suiri and I recommend it for anyone that likes the detective genre.

While this show isn't perfect, it has many qualities and I'll try to point them out in this review, without spoiling anything.


The pros :

+ The investigations are interesting, and that's very important for a detective show. They aren't exactly meant to be solvable by the viewers, but the detectives will solve them by paying close attention to details in a believable way.

+ The character design is neat and the side characters are funny and rather inspired.
...
+ The visuals are good looking, there's a lot of different landscapes, nice colorimetry aswell.

+ Some plot elements to make this show feel unique make us want to learn more about the story.

+ The comic vibe this show is going for works at times, there are a few funny jokes & situations...


The cons :

- But on the other hand, I'll reckon that this show could have used a bit more "seriousness", it sometimes feels like there isn't enough at stake.

- It's linked with the last con, but there's a lack of action scenes in the show, and it's a shame because it would have been relevant for a police/detective show.

- The MC being goofy is a common trope for that kind of detective duo, but it becomes a bit annoying in this show because there is one "gimmick" that happens everytime that will make the viewer cringe because of how unbelievable the situation is.


All in all, I think this show is enjoyable and anyone interested in this genre should give it a try. The detective aspect is respected by giving us some interesting investigations, and the overall cozy/funny mood the show is going for works well enough with the few characters introduced. In order to become more unique, this first season introduces a few plot elements that should keep the viewer intrigued and eager to watch the next season ! However, this anime does have some flaws, this comic choice comes at the expense of the story's coherence : it's hard to justify the lack of action scenes, and a rather "important" detail of the plot becomes frankly quite stupid because of this.

Mixed Feelings

okay first off, this is not a typical mystery series because -im pretty sure- this is all about characters relationships and their subtle impact within their daily lives, at least all of part 1. so if youre looking for realistic plot devices in crime scenes this is probably not your thing (i mean, ron uses something like hypnosis on ep1, what impression does this give you?)

narrative isnt that good (plot holes and unreasonable approaches happen often), animation is absurdly fine for it, voice acting is amazing, music is good.

-the strong points are character growth, character relationships, character design and script (character and pacing wise), the ... OP and ED are quite unique for the animes simplicity at first sight.
-the weak points are the use of plot devices (theyre awkward), the fact its unlikely you will solve a case along with the characters because theyre kind of too specific sometimes and the fact that ron is too good to be real (i still like him though. hes one of those.)

the series are funny and entertaining to watch and are overall loyal to the manga while taking good care about pacing so you get to enjoy the best of each scene. the series concept is easily misunderstood (again, its not your regular mystery story), but if you can bear with the irregularities and focus on characters then youre off to a great start.

now as a heads up im actually up to date with the manga so i can firmly say this *will* get good further ahead (still considering the plot holes) so if youre patient you should stick to it. the narrative is ridiculous 90% of the time but it goes from zero to hundred very quickly when the scenes get intense and so, with the animes production quality, i think it will be a nice watch once the important plot points sink in.

this is one of those series that start not so well and then get real laaater on. through most of the first part itll feel like theyre just feeding you cumbs before an actual meal. so im looking forward to the upcoming season(s).

also, this gets better if you can deal with the fujobait (?) because theyre so homo it doesnt feel real (im fine with it)

hope it was useful ✮

Preliminary (8/13 eps)

I can't. Simply can't continue watching this to the end. And I really tried, even paused it couple of times to give it time to simmer and settle down. But no. Nothing helps. Even though it's nicely animated it's irritating to a point of annoyance hardly described by words.

One would think this is a detective and mystery show, but you'd be wrong. There's no detection here. Every episode is formatted the same way where something would happen, then bunch of screaming by everyone involved, guy supposedly not allowed to think thinks and then proceeds to explain to everyone how it happened through his annoying equally ... screaming borderline retarded sidekick.

"Mysteries" apart, I could have easily finished watching if characters were any better. It wouldn't be good but at least it would be watchable. As it is now, constant overreaction and screaming, especially coming from the police detective of all things is annoying to a point of unwatchable. Cases, or that is to say story, doesn't help either. All of them are as weird as it gets and so far none of them were interesting. It's all written in style of Agatha Christie's novels where something happens, bunch of people are present, main guy figures something out no one else has a clue about, audience included, then proceeds to preach to everyone in the room and pointing fingers. Fun part in stories like these is to try to figure it out on your own, or at least enjoy the twist. But there's no twist and there's no clues to try to follow. Guy just knows things because he's suppose to be genius.

If you are lover of mystery shows, I'd say skip this one. There's no mystery. If you are lover of comedy, there's none here either, not sure why it's listed as such. If you can ignore the screaming and everyone's but main character's stupidity... you might enjoy it. I can't.
