They lost most of their powers.

It's ok, I'll go through three episodes just to see how I'll like it, love the characters though, really cute and lively and the uniforms are very cute and unique, someone was thinking when they designed the uniforms. Those are some of the best uniforms ever in anime.

3/5 for all the cuteness

I was about to start watching the first episode, MY BODY WAS READY, but then I realized there was no subs available. I cried.

Can't anyone really wait until most or all of it's aired before they rate it?
It's extremely illogically to do that.

On a positive note. I found this very cute. Can't wait for the next episode.

I don't really understand what is going on, but I will keep watching because I want to find out who took their toys/why their toys vanished with the lightning.

And I get this is a kid's show (it is, right?), but it is so unrealistic that all of the villains are posing as Milky Holmes' classmates and teachers. The only difference is clothing or a hat. It is ridiculous they are not recognized. I also don't understand the point of them infiltrating the school at all. Milky Holmes' is already a laughingstock within the school and the detective world, and Lady Arsene and co. can now steal anything they want and not have to worry about being stopped. So I don't see why she is putting in effort to screw or motivate Milky Holmes even after they have been defeated/put out of commission.

I hope this anime ends up being one where with the power of friendship, they end up becoming great detectives despite NOT having powers, and learning they can do anything as long as they try their best and work together. But I really don't know what direction the show will go in.

I had really high expectations for this show (I have no idea why), and this was not what I expected at all.

I didn't drink enough to finish watching this, i got passed the first 6 minutes tho.

The art looks fine and the sound appears to be fine as well.
The characters look like your stereotypical moe characters.
Other then that it really looks childish, and i am wondering why i even picked this up.

Not really my type of anime r.r had some semi-good action the mystery wasnt that great

Breakfast breakfast was kinda funny though

good cast of characters

If you are watching it for realism, deep plot, standard plot, or good comedy then no, it doesn't exist in this anime. Lilpri is much better if you want an anime that's cute and colorful, it does have a standard plot of sorts and excellent music.

What the fuck is wrong with me

also all the chars seem to be recycled from other anime

Sherlock "Sharo" Shellingford → Minette (Shukufuku no Campanella)
Nero Yuzurisaki → Ryuuguu Rena (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)
Cordelia Glauca → Fate Testarossa (Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha) or Vivio (Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS)
Hercule Barton → Tomo Yamanobe (Seikon no Qwaser)

also, there's this Strike Witches spoof of Mio Sakamoto

I am confused; this is rated PG right? I couldn't tell if this was intended moé service or not. I thought i would give it a shot, but meh.

The only good thing about the episode was how cold hearted that bomb scene was. Unfortunately they didn't care about their picture as much as i thought.

In the first five minutes, I thought "Hell yeah, Needless with more moe!" like their toys are like fragments... but after that, it was a bit of a let down.
No crying whatsoever about their first-case-picture being ripped apart. They were just too happy imho.
Oh well, let's see what the second episode brings, I kinda hope they get their toys back FAST and don't take the whole season to do so. I want some action with it.

I didn't hate the episode, but in the future I think it will be hard to sit through an entire episode again.

I may end up watching it, or dropping it later, I'm going to wait for more episodes to come out before deciding.

I think most people here on MAL don't know how to read synopsis or take a second look at the art style and characters. It doesn't have all that is why I find this anime very funny but I do really like this anime though. I was sold in the first 5 minutes lol.

@Inarius
I thought the same thing too with their character designs, not that I'm complaining. :) But I'm somewhat "shamed" that I didn't catch the Mio spoof though. :

They took one of my favourite themes/genres (detective), and turned it into one big moe blob. There was absolutely no reasoning or deduction done. If this was meant to be kids show; then they have too much sex themes (giant breasts on a scantily-clad high-schooler that looks like she's in her mid 20s to late 30s, and a a narcissistic exhibitionist? If I had kids, I'd rather theme watch power rangers or something with clowns (which I can't stand to death) than recommend this. If this is for young adults to adults...only the otaku pervs, the makers, the open-minded, people who like mindless trash, and people with no taste will like this.

There's also better moe-blob anime out there. This however will most likely end up as a dried up cash cow.

Detective Conan at least has bloody murder and humour, suitable for most ages. Arthur Conan Doyle would probably roll in his grave because of this.

Well this was cute. Though I am kinda pissed they dont know who the bad guys are. But I think the pink girl is starting to gain Lightning Powers or something. When she got riled up, there was a flicker in her eye and then it showed lightning

Anyway I dont know if I will continue this or not. I havent been watching Lil Pri, so I wonder if I should bother watching this.

Maybe the action is enough for a hook

How is it illogical? It's a rating based on the first episode, and if the anime improves people will adjust their ratings accordingly.

I was kind of expecting more of an action or a deduction based anime, not a moe-crap which I am satisfied with K-ON! or Lucky Star (though I have to admit that the Milky Holmes are cute). I hope they retrieve the toys and get back to what the people want and not make the same mistake they did with the latter half of Railgun.

Because that's not how the system here works on MAL, biasism and rageness hurts the rating more than it should. To properly rate an anime, you watch the whole thing then you rate it as it is, not it's pilot episode.

And what kind of innocence were you guys expecting lol? You do realize JC Staff did this right? I *facepalm* for the future of MAL users. D:

Oh yeah, the student council girl is probably my favorite so far. :)

I was pleasantly surprised and I think it has potential. We start off with some spoiled brats who are given special treatment and elite status because of their training under a legendary detective and they over-rely on their toys to solve cases.

Now, their toys are gone, their special treatment is over, and their pedigree of training seems to mean squat. Now I expect that they will focus on what really makes a good detective: skills of observation and deduction. Or at least that would be the direction I expect.

Honestly I see a good theme here as the show seems to be poking fun at all the super-tech policing done nowadays with 'toys' as seen on shows like CSI and the lack of old-fashioned flat-foot or gum-shoe style detective work. Maybe I'm reading a bit deeply into this, but nevertheless I think there's some potential to work with. I'll give it some more episodes and see whether they go in the direction I hope or whether it devolves into the typical moe-blob that everyone here seems to expect.

First of this is way cuter
And second: I didn't find this episode boring or slow, which I did find the first episode of shukufuku. Shukufuku is not my favorite anime at all, but I actually enjoyed milky holmes a lot.
