Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri

As a detective show, this is pretty decent. It doesn't have the kind of swagger that Undead Girl Murder Farce did, and while neither show makes it particularly easy for the audience to figure out what happened (I'd say it's pretty close to impossible in both cases), this one just didn't feel like it had the strong wrap-ups to each of its cases that that one did. It also doesn't have the character-driven emotional elements that make the mysteries of The Apothecary Diaries so enthralling. I hate to compare this anime to other mystery shows, but it's just missing something to separate itself from thepack even when its mysteries come together in interesting fashion. So, why did I keep watching? Two reasons: the pair of leads that headline this series, and the mysterious supernatural element that drives Ron's story. The former is pretty good. I'm not terribly fond of Ron's character, who is largely just quirky to be quirky (trying to emulate many idiosyncratic characters in a similar vein - more on that later), but I am fond of his partner Toto, despite his relative lack of background. I think they make quite the pair, with the latter functioning as a straight man who grounds the former and keeps his weird eye power from claiming more lives. I don't love that his role as last second lifesaver is the reason they came together, but their development as a pair is interesting, especially given Ron's isolation. As for the supernatural element... yeah, it's not working for me. It's essentially an uncontrollable Geass that forces the accused, at the point that they admit to their guilt or are completely found out, to kill themselves. It's interesting in a way because it gives a reason why Ron is not an active detective, but it's a pretty weak reason, especially as we find out that other characters are aware of this and... did nothing. Why Toto was the first to try to address it is beyond me. Why it exists at all is kind of perplexing. Turns out there's a conspiracy behind it that I won't spoil, but it makes very little sense, and the basis for that conspiracy is depressing. Again, relating back to Undead Girl Murder Farce, I had a problem with the episodes where Sherlock Holmes participates because it felt like the series and its characters could stand by themselves. They didn't need to lean on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but they did anyway. And while I won't spoil the mid-season twist here, it's similarly leaning on outside characters and I don't like it. I appreciate that very little of the series is driven by that element, and it certainly sets up some interesting antagonists for S2 (which I'll watch to see if this goes anywhere), but it's lazy writing, shorthand to explain why Ron and his antagonists are worthy of attention rather than just showing why they are. Overall, this series was at least an interesting watch. I enjoyed watching the murder mysteries play out and the central duo commands some worthy attention, but the central plot thread just doesn't work for me, at least not yet. The first season answers so few questions and introduces more. I'm hoping for better from S2.

Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions is pretty fun. I don’t have too much to say about this season other than it’s a fun buddy cop mystery anime. The dynamic between Totomaru Isshiki and Ron Kamonohashi is a lot of fun to watch and the mysteries that these two solve are engaging and always keep me invested every week. I really like how each new mystery in this season introduces an entirely new set of side characters which helps keep the interactions between the two main characters and the rest of the supporting cast fresh and exciting. This anime also introduces an overarching plotline involving some secretorganizations and all of this ties into the titular character’s special abilities as well as his backstory, and I’m really invested in it. I assume the second season will focus more on this storyline but this season primarily centers on building and strengthening the dynamic between Isshiki and Kamonohashi. The only major complaint that I have with this anime is that many of the deductions made when attempting to solve the mysteries are mainly from Kamonohashi, and at first I didn’t mind this since Isshiki was an inexperienced detective in the earlier episodes, but Kamonohashi constantly doing around 70-80% of the sleuthing doesn’t really help Isshiki grow and improve his skills, despite Ron giving him all the credit for solving the various cases throughout this season. Isshiki does see some subtle character development, but I’d like for future seasons to not have Isshiki depend on Kamonohashi so much and have him fully solve a case all on his own. Other than that, this anime is very serviceable in being a good mystery series with many fun twists and turns throughout the entirety of the show so far.

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), theOP 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 ✮ EDIT: ik i said this gets good but actually everything after that arc where it gets good just goes down and feels very rushed. the characters are still lovable. but its aaahhhhh fine (?) i peace out
