| >original TV anime >based on Ranpo Edogawa's Shounen Tanteidan youth detective novels uh..? Is it just me, or are anime synopses particularly hard to follow? Like I always find myself rereading a synopsis a couple times just to be able to make sense out of it. Is it a translation issue? |
 |
| Already looks better than Ranpo Kitan. That fujo-bait designs thou. |
 |
| Ooooh yes! Hope it'll be better than Game of Laplace :3 |
| I don't really have a fond impression of the recent anime adpatation inspired by Edogawa Ranpo's novel. This one seems to follow the same lead, but hopefully it'll fare better, even if slightly. This rendition of Kobayashi sure is emo. |
 |
| hehehe It's funny because Daiki Yamashita played the friend of Kobayashi in Game of Laplace and now hes playing Kobayashi. |
 |
| Hopefully this will be better than the shitty mess that was Ranpo Kitan. |
| 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. |
| It is part of Anime no Me, new Anime Time Slot on Tokyo MX Monday Midnight for first channel (that means no more Monday shorts). With First Anime being Amaama to Inazuma. It already has the total eps. listed for both anime. http://animenome.jp/ |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| LOL, i thought the guy with orange jacket was a girl and that's the reason why i'm here. i seriously thought he was a girl. but when i knew he's actually a guy, nope xD but let's just see, the pv gave me a little of Ranpo Kitan vibe so i might watch it :D |
 |
| DETECTIVES EDOGAWA NICE |
| I honestly didn't like Ranpo Kitan, but this one looks interesting, so I'll probably watch it. TMS Entertainment is sure busy this year, lol. |
  |
| Yuki Hayashi? oh Hell yeah. |
| Looks mehhh.. =_= |
 |
| It's been awhile since I've seen a series with designs by PEACH-PIT. Might be good although I'm not too impressed by the trailer yet. |
 |
| There'll be some girl characters right? If not, pass. Looks too sketchy for me. |
 |
| Oh yes, cos the last anime based on Ranpo's works went SO well, didn't it? Definitely going to avoid this before it inevitably ends up as bad as Game of Laplace was. |
| >Original anime. >Based on a novel. That's not how that works. Also Ranpo Kitan was so fucking terrible that I will be avoiding this at all costs. I assume it's not Edogawa Ranpo's fault that the anime was shit though. |
 |
| >detectives >mystery >Ryota Osaka Will give this a shot and hoping for something good |
 |
| PEACH‐PIT ♥ White haired guy ♥ I must see this! *.* |
| Well why not looks much better than Ranpo Kitan. I just hope there won't be any shithead like Kobayashi -_- |
| Dont like the sound of *an original* TV series <_______< Its usually a hit or miss |
| Awww yuss. Let's hope this manages to capture Ranpo's eccentric characters well. Say what you want about Ranpo Kitan's mess of trainwreck plot, but at least it got the eccentric personalities right. Let's hope Trickster manages to capture the "eccentric detective" nature of both Kobayashi and Akechi characters. I wonder if this show will use crossdressing too in order to highlight Kobayashi's androgynous nature. Was just thinking how I would like more works based on Ranpo's writing, thanks to Ranpo's character being done right in Bungou Stray DOgs. BBC's Sherlock > Original TV Show > Based on Sherlock Holmes books. As long as its not a 100% direct adaptation, that IS how it works. This is based on the novels but the setting is advanced to the near future(instead of 60's-70's) Red_Keys said: >original TV anime >based on Ranpo Edogawa's Shounen Tanteidan youth detective novels uh..? Is it just me, or are anime synopses particularly hard to follow? Like I always find myself rereading a synopsis a couple times just to be able to make sense out of it. Is it a translation issue? Its not that hard to follow? I mean it is basically modified original premise of the novels: Akechi assembles a detective team of gifted orphan children who solve crimes. One of the team members encounters a boy named Kobayashi who apparantly is immortal and is mentally messed up and antisocial because of that. Kobayashi is invited to join the team and that decision eventually leads to the conflict with Fiend of 20 Faces. HecticLeo said: There'll be some girl characters right? If not, pass. Looks too sketchy for me. Depending on how much it goes into Akechi novels plotlines, there should be at least one female character |

| Oh jeez. I'm more than cautious after that bland pv and the failure that was Ranpo Kitan. |
 |
| The MC wants to die on this anime. :3 Dazai of Bungo Stray Dogs, also wants to die, particularly suicide, cause he is a suicide maniac. This looks interesting, I'm gonna watch this xD |
 |
Kisaragi said: Literally anything is better than Game of Laplace. Well, that's about how high my expectations are.Ooooh yes! Hope it'll be better than Game of Laplace :3 |
 |
| Thought the one in orange was a girl at first. |
| Might pick this up if there's nothing to watch during the fall season, lol. It just looks meh to me.... <-< |
| at least is a mystery and 24 ep hope is something decent |

| I'm too scared after Ranpo Kitan... Animu should allow to rest in peace to Ranpo. |
 |
| Meh, I'll check this one out, I suppose. |
| Looks great, I love the character design ^O^ Yamashita Daiki!!! Aww his voice is adorable as usual. Suicidal protagonist is also a +++ ohoho. :D Looking forward to this! |

Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Well this is looking quite good, there was little I was interested in for October, so definitely gonna watch this. |
 |
| 24 episodes makes this seem more promising. Hope it turns out well. |
| 24 episodes? I'm going to give this a try because I like the designs. I thought the brown haired dude was a girl too. Honestly, I hope this has hints of BL. (I'm probably a fujoshi.) |
 |
| Really hope its better than Ranpo Kitan |
