The show is clearly a lower budget project from madhouse, but It still feels like one of the best productions this season.

The super clean art and banger music aside, the director is doing some real magic here. It's so snappy, and playful. Every scene feels both dynamic and made with purpose. So many cuts here put a genuine smile on my nerd ass face. I can only imagine how much fun they must have had story boarding this.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know which specific direction to appreciate but, I would agree that this definitely looked too good for what could've been a show filled with just boring parallel shots. There's definitely some cinematography efforts put into it-- whether they keep it like that per episode, will have to wait and see.

It's made by Madhouse and my favorite anime studio. Every anime becomes PEAK if they have done it.

I agree. TBATE fans wish they could see their anime getting this kind of adaptation lol(I'm one of them).
The show uses a lot of dialogue, but it doesn't feel like some trash podcast. It's funny, well paced, and the ost is superb. This is why I love studio madhouse.

I don't know man, that scene of the girl standing up out of nowhere to faint was weird.

@FreedomKME That's just a thing anime does. I've seen so many shows make the characters "basically teleport to different position" instantly for comedy.

True! This anime really is way more dynamic than what I was expecting. We also have a very good voice actor cast, besides the good music! Even with a lower budget, they clearly are doing the best they can with this adaptation, and in my opinion, they are doing a good job so far! Just wished the pacing was a bit slower (which, in all honestly, is surprising, I thought that if anything, the pacing would be super slow, how can this anime been having a faster pacing that Fire Force Season 3 xD)

This is was a j-drama from maybe 10 years ago, the anime kept the vibe of the drama and borrowed how scenes plays.
So for a low budget anime, the pace is very smooth.

@ZXEAN Its not bad at all, just a very ok/decent mystery comedy with slick production value.

Its not a mind blowing must watch but its not bad either. I would say if it looks interesting to you, give it a shot. I've been really enjoying it for what it is.

I like the anime has a good pace with the mix of comedy-mystery it’s flavourful and the cases which can be seen both simple and complex is interesting.
