okay first off, this is not a typical mystery series because -im pretty sure- this is all about characters relationships and their subtle impact within their daily lives, at least all of part 1. so if youre looking for realistic plot devices in crime scenes this is probably not your thing (i mean, ron uses something like hypnosis on ep1, what impression does this give you?)

narrative isnt that good (plot holes and unreasonable approaches happen often), animation is absurdly fine for it, voice acting is amazing, music is good.

-the strong points are character growth, character relationships, character design and script (character and pacing wise), the ... OP and ED are quite unique for the animes simplicity at first sight.
-the weak points are the use of plot devices (theyre awkward), the fact its unlikely you will solve a case along with the characters because theyre kind of too specific sometimes and the fact that ron is too good to be real (i still like him though. hes one of those.)

the series are funny and entertaining to watch and are overall loyal to the manga while taking good care about pacing so you get to enjoy the best of each scene. the series concept is easily misunderstood (again, its not your regular mystery story), but if you can bear with the irregularities and focus on characters then youre off to a great start.

now as a heads up im actually up to date with the manga so i can firmly say this *will* get good further ahead (still considering the plot holes) so if youre patient you should stick to it. the narrative is ridiculous 90% of the time but it goes from zero to hundred very quickly when the scenes get intense and so, with the animes production quality, i think it will be a nice watch once the important plot points sink in.

this is one of those series that start not so well and then get real laaater on. through most of the first part itll feel like theyre just feeding you cumbs before an actual meal. so im looking forward to the upcoming season(s).

also, this gets better if you can deal with the fujobait (?) because theyre so homo it doesnt feel real (im fine with it)

hope it was useful ✮
