| They protrayed Ron in the personality and deeper stoic voice that I had expected. The show/episode deals with a case and Toto is obvious the inferior of the pair. He's also a bit of an airhead too. Despite some of the dry humor, there's some eerie moments and Ron is such a mysterious person. Surprisingly entertaining imo. Some of their character interactions were long but it builds a foundation in their relationship. |

| Well, it’s the good ol’ turn of events, I mean the kind we see in every detective fiction out there… a decent bunch of people failing to solve a case and then our main man will make an appearance, that “so-called” capable individual who would do it in a snap of fingers. And heck there’s someone who is here to make him look good too lol. Kamonohashi Ron being his name, who despite having looks like a kpop artist, is uber brilliant with his deductions. I feel bad for Isshiki guy, who has to take such humiliations after humiliations just so he could convince mister oddball to take a look over this string of murders, whose police force has been beating their asses on for the last nine months or so. And guess what, the moment Ron and Isshiki arrived at the crime scene… a fresh crime scene, this man literally solved the case within minutes… the reason we know is because he’s ultra smart after all. A random barber being the culprit for all the murders, and that too for a petty reason of making money out of those people wasn’t the conclusion I thought we’d get, but fine this was just the first episode. Decent start, though hope we do get some good cases going forward. |

| From famed mangaka Akira Amano of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! and ΔlDLIVE comes her next series, and this is only the 1st Season in how many seasons the producers want to do this project. The adventures of Investigation Division 1's unskilled police officer Totomaru Isshiki and eccentric private detective Ron Kamonohashi, their coincidental meeting that the former is supposed to find the latter for help in the murder case. Ron may be an outcast who has voluntarily cut himself away from the outside world with their chief Kiku sending him various partners every now and then, but his deductions are spot accurate. And no matter how Isshiki forces Ron to help him, the latter forcing the call on the case having a 6th victim, Ron wants to get back into sleuthing very badly, but because of his fatal flaw that no medicine could fix, what truly is going on with this intelligent detective? And Ron obliges, though Isshiki must keep a close eye on him. So then, Ron and Isshiki get into the murder case, and he's able to deduce for the 6th victim's killing MO, which thanks to the dead victim, Ron knows what he's going to do: arrest the culprit that the case was left open for 9 months...with cash that's fit enough for expensive tack and a total makeover, like a haircut. But little does Isshiki know that he's thrown into the culprit's lair of a barber, with oxygen-deficient air from the shampoo station, which Ron managed to gather all the evidence that points only in one direction, and having Isshiki play the part of the victim to corner him. But Ron asking the culprit to jump from the rooftop which puts him on a trance, luckily Isshiki was able to save the culprit, but with an extra thanks to Ron. The fatal flaw of Ron Kamonohashi: a perfect solving streak with a 0% arrest streak, Isshiki's the pure naïve fool to team up with him, and that is Isshiki's story of becoming a great detective. Hmm, still needs some cooking... |

| Wasn't expecting much since it's diomedea but this doesn't look bad actually. Ron's quite the eccentric detective with how he does things but he sure goes for the kill after finding the culprit which is also his fatal flaw. But now with the useless guy with him, he maybe be able to detective work again. Big fan of Akira Amano's Hitman Reborn and I like this manga as well. Looking forward to seeing upcoming cases animated and I also gotta get upto date with the manga, haven't read it since last year. |
 |
| Well, from the outset, this feels like a somewhat cheesy, edgy detective show, but there's some mystery surrounding Ron, and Isshiki is just your typical protagonist that's struggling at his job. From the trailer I thought the animation would be bad, but it's alright I guess. Hope the cases don't get too gimmicky or repetitive. |
| Ron is definitely an eccentric detective, and to call his methods "unconventional" would be an understatement. Don't judge a book by its cover though, because despite how unremarkable he looks, he's clearly a genius as he solved this murder case without breaking a sweat. This should be a fun show to follow as long as the cases are interesting. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| The duo has a fun dynamic, and I didn't expect the reveal for Ron's uncanny ability XD |
| Ooohh. Nice mystery, funny comedy, fun chemistry, and Ron is quite handsome when his eyes show signs of life lol. I think the only thing that felt a bit "off" was when Ron explained it all to Toto when they were all still inside the barbershop... it was a bit jarring for me to see them having their own question and answer session when the culprit could escape at any time... but maybe as detectives they didn't have the authority to arrest the culprit, so... so Ron acted faster by locking the fence so he couldn't escape and told him to jump lmao, that was really something crazy! xD I didn't expect it at all. But honestly it was pretty fun. I thought it would be more heavy on the comedy but the mystery was nice too. I'll definitely watch this every week. |
 |
| Oh hell yea a good detective show? Sign me up. After undead girl ended I needed more of this on a weekly basis. Kinda feels like a less over the top balance unlimited with the dynamic between Toto and Ron Killing people because you didn’t do your DD properly with your portfolio is crazy π this is why you don’t invest money you can’t afford to lose and you set stop losses. Should’ve never got down that bad off the stock market. Now you’re going to prison and STILL broke, dumbass. I like the gimmick with Ron’s ability to make people off themselves. A 100 percent solved rate and a 0 percent arrested rate is hilarious. He and Toto are going to make a perfect team since Toto will make sure these perps face justice, the proper way. Funny first episode with some really good animation. As with all detective mystery shows the key is going to be making sure the cases remain fun and engaging. Let’s see what they got cooked up. Union Square Garden OP as well, takes me back to FGO Babylonia. |

| Ngl I was positively surprised by the animation quality. Really liked the interactions between our main characters, and the little girls walking past Ron made me laugh out loud π |
| Mystery-detective show to enjoy this season, I guess. Pretty good start. I hope this will be consistent. Ron's fatal flaw is to kill the culprit. That caught me by surprise when he made an order to that barber to jump. Now that's really something. The reason why it's called forbidden deductions and him being a deranged detective. I've got the sense that that's the case. Let's see how the story will play out. |
 |
| Oh, I was eagerly anticipating this. I'm a sucker for stories like this, and it didn't let me down. The first episode was a blast. I'm fond of the character design, and they nailed the voice acting. Can't wait to see where this takes us. Edit: Wow, his eyes are strikingly beautiful. I saw it coming, but still. The main character oddly resembles a blend of Dazai and Ranpo's traits, right? He's a vexing, attractive, somewhat eccentric guy who seems to have it all figured out already. |
 |
| It's just okay, nothing very original. Sherlock Holmes vibes with the bonus of murderous tendencies from Ron. The next few episodes will show if it has anything interesting to offer. |

| Akira Amano should do the same Oh! Great did, just draw and let someone else do the stories haha. |
 |
| Those eyes were majestic. |
| That Mio reference tho - Amamiya doing the same eye movement from the ending of the first K-On season. I guess the animators are big Youko Hikasa fans, since she voices both characters. |
| I was really feeling a detective anime, been a while since I’ve watched one so this was nice to see this fall season, and a great first episode it was. It was clear that something was up with Ron upon Toto’s first meeting with him, of course he’s absolutely amazing at solving cases as expected but the twist where he kills the culprit in an almost supernatural way that seemed kinda like hypnosis was wild lol, this man has the power to make someone off their self and he doesn’t remember how it happens every time, definitely an interesting mystery revolving around this mystery solving man. I also like the dynamic between our main detective duo already, we didn’t see a whole lot of it but I can tell it’s gonna be fun going forward, and hopefully eventually we might see a case that Ron doesn’t immediately solve which might shake things up between them. And no OP and ED yet but we heard one of them near the end of the episode, not sure which but I look forward to hearing them with visuals, and I also look forward to more of this every week! Definitely a unique mix of shoes on Monday for me this season lol. |

| This was incredibly awesome, more than I thought. I enjoyed it a lot, and laughed quite a bit, while it was very easy to understand that the culprit was the guy from the hair sallon. I really like Ron's personality, that seems to swop in between very lonely and depressive to bratty in a few seconds, I love it! Looking foward to more episodes! |
|
| Toto... another Tsuna-like character huh... lol. |
 |
| so ron is lelouch with the geass and all and toto looks like he's cosplaying reigen, he shouts too much though. disappointing first episode ngl. the barber deduction makes sense, but the barber himself acted way too dumb, and didn't seem like someone who could get that many kills. i hope every case isn't as easy as this one for ron. ron got a sweet crib though, cushioned floor? i want that now. |
 |
| Good first episode. Been wanting to read the manga but I think I'll watch this for now. The fact that Ron nicknamed him Toto gives me Wizard of Oz vibes XD. I like the Manzai style of banter they have with each other. Plus, Union Square Garden did a song for this one. This is going to be interesting. |
 |
| a good start reminds me of The Millionaire Detective, looking forward for its next episode. |
 |
| First of all: This show does trigger my Fugou Keiji: Balance Unlimited trauma so I might be overly skeptical here. On the positive side, I like the comedy and chemistry between the main characters. That was really fun to watch. Ron's "sickness" is also really interesting. However, I'm a bit worried. While the episode was good by itself, he mystery around Ron was resolved already (aside from why the victims do as they're told) and so was the case. Where will this show go now? Also, the case wasn't really great. I guess they wanted to squeeze one into the premiere and that's ok. But this standart won't do for future episodes. Especially with this "I solved it! Now let me explain what happend" format. The last thing I need is an episodic show about an overpowered detective explaining what nice crimes the author can come up with. But if it instead brings up a case not even Ron can solve, or something about his backstory on why he has the "sickness" or why his deduction is so amazing, it could become really good. Guess I'll wait and see. And finally: A cushion floor is NOT a good idea if you're living with cats. |
| Checked this out randomly and the the anime description does it no justice. I found it way more entertaining than the descriptions made it sound. And Ron has some funky/odd quirks. Like him already! I just hope the jokes/comedy doesn't get corny/old soon.... |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
The trailer does not do justice to this anime at all. That was great
It's witty, it's funny, it's amazingly entertaining! More people should watch this. I actually enjoyed this more than SLF which is saying a lot. |
 |
| Off to a great start imo! Looking forward to seeing where this goes! It's been a while since I've watched a mystery anime like this, but it looks interesting! |
 |
| WOW i like this sooo much toto is so funny and Ron is way too interesting. his past should be packed with regrets and such i hope we see them ^^ can't w8 for more |

| @Kimmy- I agree. Was a light hearted romp. Will continue for now. |
| Hmm... Toto looks and personalities is really almost 98% like Tsuna... Ron eyes look hot in those hypnosis scene... So... Ron having a superpower or something? Hmmm... Episode 1 isn't great... Just the part from the suspect reveal till the end are the only great scene... I don't know about other story by Amano-San except for Hitman Reborn, but I'm pretty sure her daily life theme aren't her great work... Well.... I'm a big fan of Amano Akira~~ |
 |
| Pleasantly surprised by how the animation and character designs look. Voice actors/actresses also fit better than I thought they would. Great adaptation of the first case. |
 My candies (2024):          x4 |
| It definitely piqued my interest. I have high hopes for this one |
