This year I rewatched the anime hyoka. Since the original Shoshimin is by the same author, I was interested to see how the studio would adapt his style.
I would categorise Shoshimin under the genre ‘solving everyday mysteries’.
Kobato and Osanai actually just want to become ordinary citizens and both have their reasons for this common goal.
Main question here: what kind of relationship do they have and does it help them in their goal to become ordinary citizens? And why do they even want to become ordinary citizens, aren't they already?🤔
However, both are confronted with mysteries during their high school years, which Kobato in particular
...
usually solves in the presence of Osanai. Kobato is also introduced to new cases by his old friend Doujima, because he helps solve other people's problems. This becomes important in the interaction between the two, which is well portrayed. Because they help each other.
Most important, however, are Osanai and Kobato. Both characters are really characterised in great detail by the studio, so that even the smallest behaviours and emotions remain credible for the plot.
Solving the mysteries is the biggest highlight. The studio makes use of fantastic-looking scenery changes. And animate the supposed steps of the person being analysed as if Kobato or Osanai were really acting out their supposed steps.
Conclusion:
-Expect a really breathtaking opening (Eve) and a creative ending that fits very well. (*^▽^*)
-Very clean and really nice animations with very detailed backgrounds ╰(*°▽°*)╯
-Interesting everyday and maybe not so everyday mysteries (⊙ˍ⊙)
