Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri 2nd Season

Not long after forming their partnership, detectives Ron Kamonohashi and Totomaru Isshiki have proven adept at solving various cases together. However, the two are further motivated to continue their work when they discover that the House of M—an infamous crime syndicate—orchestrated Ron's expulsion from the prestigious Detective Training Academy BLUE five years prior. It appears that this group is also linked to Ron's mysterious ability that causes those around him to lose their lives, a phenomenon which Ron is desperate to stop.

A member of the House of M soon starts to commit boastful serial murders around Shibuya as an act of provocation toward Ron. Consequently, the investigative pair must do their best to apprehend the culprit for the sake of justice as well as learning more about Ron's dark past and present condition.

I disliked the first season so much, but I decided to trust the process and continue watching it. it was worth it.
Unlike season one, the second season gives you some hints by which you can guess who might be the culprit and how their plan works. On the other hand, it also follows the story of Ron's life, our main character, which all of us are obviously more interested in.

I somehow believe all the random cases that we watched Ron solve were only there to show us "hey this dude is a genius! he solves cases with just a glance." I think one case was ... enough to prove this to us, but they gave us many random and unrelated cases in season one with no hint for the viewer to guess and follow what happened, which made season one boring.

however, season two somehow fixed these issues a bit:
1) cases had more hints for the viewer to assume who the culprit is.
2) we learn new information about who Ron is and what has happened to him.
3) some of the cases that Ron solves are related to him and who he is.

I believe season two (and season one also) should've focused on Ron's story more and avoided solving unnecessary unrelated cases to make it more enjoyable and interesting. however, the cases in season two were solved in a logical way with all the given hints, forcing viewers to pause and try to solve the case on their own.

Preliminary (11/13 eps)

This review won’t contain any spoilers for Season 2 but assumes you’re caught up with Season 1.

In one word: masterclass.

The visuals are fairly standard but do their job well. The animation is polished, and the soundtrack is effective. Artistically, nothing shocking or breathtaking, but everything aligns perfectly with Season 1’s style, so you can expect consistency in that regard.

Now, about the story: while Season 1 followed a rhythm of about 20-30% overarching plot episodes and 70-80% episodic ones (where episodes have a self-contained story, like a murder mystery solved within one or two episodes), Season 2 flips the script. It leans more toward 60-70% overarching ... plot and 30-40% episodic mysteries. That’s an important factor for your enjoyment. If you love well-crafted narratives with interconnected events, multi-step plans, and long-term storytelling, Season 2 will likely be right up your alley. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a casual crime series with standalone episodes featuring clever whodunits where you can guess the culprit yourself, Season 2 might not be for you—it offers fewer “small mysteries” and focuses more on advancing the main plot.

And that main plot?
We dive deep into Ron’s past, which—as teased in Season 1—seems connected to the Moriarty family. But there’s more: we get insights into his youth, his education, and key events from the past that lead to an intense, closed-circle investigation. It’s like a massive game of Clue, unraveling a deadly enigma.

The story elements are spot-on, though towards the end, you might find yourself questioning some secondary characters’ choices—they make some irrational decisions that seem to jeopardize their survival. It’s almost like you want to yell, “Well, you shouldn’t have gone off alone!” From emeralds to a mysterious invitation sent 17 years ago, to all the players in a grim tale, this season will glue you to your seat. Every episode pulls you into the next, especially as things heat up toward the end.

If there’s one minor downside, it’s that a few of the episodic cases are a bit too predictable. But honestly, the anime is severely underrated in my opinion and absolutely deserves at least an 8/10.
For my part, my level of enjoyment makes me give it a 9!

Enjoy the watch!

Mixed Feelings

The second season of Ron Kamonohashi leaves me with a bittersweet feeling.

The anime starts off on a high note with a super interesting story and showing us what would apparently be the villains of the season or even of the story in general. The problem comes once the first arc is over, when they don't mention these villains again in many chapters and the plot picks up again in the final stretch. The feeling is like being thrown a bucket of cold water, in the end it's not what one expected from what seemed to be an interesting story from beginning to end. It's not ... that the rest of the stories weren't interesting or entertaining, it's simply that compared to what they gave you at the beginning, none can reach that level. On top of that, the final stretch gives you a rather vulnerable version of the protagonist, so the whole part of the mystery and its resolution feels a bit bland.

The mystery never stops being good, each case is just as good as the last, the antagonists/villains have clear and understandable motivations and the resolution of the cases, in many of them, can surprise you with their creativity. Maybe my preference for more intricate stories simply makes me feel a bit dissatisfied with what I've seen in these 13 chapters. Toto is one of the best characters in this anime, if not the best. The depressed version of Ron doesn't quite convince me. I know it was necessary for his development but not seeing him in his confident version made me lose a lot of hope. It's similar to when they tell you that instead of going to your favorite band's concert, you go see a tribute band in an abandoned warehouse.

My feelings about this work are a bit mixed, I don't know whether to recommend it or not sincerely. On the one hand, I know that if you like mystery and detectives like Sherlock Holmes, you will enjoy this like a kid in an amusement park. But, since I didn't enjoy it the way I initially thought I would, it wouldn't be honest of me to give a recommendation because I don't feel it completely.
