THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
So far it's looking like the anime may do the manga justice. Though I do think they could've given Hajime a better introduction than they did.

I haven't read the manga.
The 1st File was really easy to figure out (I even guessed the method to decode the code) but I liked the overall feeling of the series.

Haha, hearing Jurota Kosugi voicing the tantei-san is really funny to me.
I used to watch this in French back then, but not continuously as I always missed an episode or two... * *;;
But from then on, the series left an impression. I'm glad now it's getting subbed. Hehe
(I can't wait for Morimori's char to come in soon > w< hehe; I do believe he's Kindaichi's rival in the series, hurhur)
But it's funnier to find out that Kindaichi was voiced by Rascal-sensei of Akazukin Chacha xD

Great start. Not the most interesting mystery, but not bad! Has some suspenseful, heart-pounding moments mixed with funny, light-hearted ones. Good mix.
4/5

On a side note, I've only read one Kindaichi manga volume (the Mummy's Curse) and I couldn't find the others anywhere in real life. :S

Just finished watching this on animax.

I cant believe sakuragi really died. Well my prime suspect is the mystery club advisor, Im 80% sure.

Could it be that there are cases missing?

Looks like the manga starts with:
(File 1) The Opera House Murders
(File 2) The Ijinkan Village Murder Case
(File 3) Snow Demon Legend Murder Case
(File 4) The Seven Mysteries Of The School Murder Case

And I was wondering how he knew that inspector and said that they know each other from older cases when the viewer just saw the inspector for the first time..

Hmm, looks interesting I suppose. Always wanted to try this anime, but never did. Hajime looks like a strange guy, not the type to be interested in mysteries. However, this situation probably really set him onto craving to find the answer.

Shame about Sakuragi but you could see that death flag a mile away. This show has promise, hopefully it's as entertaining as Detective Conan except without the annoying kids.

That was a really good start. I remember watching this way back when I was a kid, although those episodes I watched were not this case. Directing is also strong with suspenseful moments with good atmosphere. Also, knew that Sakuragi senpai was going to die first.

Well, looks like this might be more fun than Conan.
You all need to watch Nami.

Haven’t watched it yet but I am reading the Manga and honestly, I didn’t expect there to be an Anime of it for some reason- I never heard of it. But I am going to and I wonder if it’ll be better than the Manga or not.
