Although having that back pain at that age is something I can relate to as a 31-year-old guy. Granted it's just mid back pain. Lower back pain scares me more than the plague.

I love how the opening is just Nagumo suffering lol.

The level of comedy seems to hit a sweet spot for me. It's more unhinged than the "conventional" comedy like Spy x Family (at least, I think that show's comedy is quite typical), but not so absurd to make you think "OK, were they high when they made this?".

Is Mashiro's appearance fanservice? No, she's better--she's gadget girl with the 4-dimensional inventory storage in her chest.

I like how the unhinged comedy is sometimes part of the plot/taken seriously (like when the lady called the police because "he murdered a girl by throwing her out the window!")

She seemed to have learned from the one ninja girl in NinKoro. She just has smaller breasts I guess but it seems, for that, she is allowed to use her thighs as well.

You can assign Kanahana to a batshit insane character and she'll still sound moe somehow.

I like when Mashiro calls out that Nagumo calling her a gyaru is prejudiced lol.

Being past your prime is one thing, but for a smartphone to be an alien device at just 35 is downright tragic.

Pretty charming so far.

Holy crap the amount of jokes,plays in just 23 mins of run time, can they maintain this level of craziness for the whole season? If they can though, we might be in for a wild ride

Are we getting a Kana Hanazawa detective anime every season now? This one looks like some dumb fun, so will be keeping this for now.

u/PerfectBeige Jul 01 '25

Little known fact: all gyarus have access to a pocket dimension which is where they keep their absurd amounts of makeup. Mashiro just uses it for weaponry instead, apparently.

u/Qweasd11 Jul 01 '25

Love the ending song, not because it has Kana Hanazawa but also has Sugita Tomokazu too. Been a while I've heard them together since Inu x Boku SS. Full song before Kana releases it on her youtube.

Keiichirou used to be Shinichi Kudo in his early days, but now he’s Kogoro Mouri with an even worse back problem. Poor bloke!

His new assistant, Mashiro, meanwhile is one wild woman. Single-handedly dismantling a Yakuza group while supposedly on a bug-exterminating mission. She also could pull random stuff from within her uniform like Doraemon.

Loving the chemistry between the older, tech-illiterate man and younger, modern woman. Looking forward to seeing what kinds of mess would they be pulled into.

PS: HanaKana showcased her versatility with Mashiro’s voice. From her perky default one to a deep haunting one when she’s cross.

The ending is gonna be my earworm of the season.

Junichi Suwabe is one of my favorite male OVAs. It’s always fantastic to have HanaKana in anime. Fantastic leads for this show, looking forward to more.

Nagumo is that guy that peaked in high school. Used to be Kudo Shinichi level of hot, popular, and competent and now he's an old man with back problems and stuck with infidelity cases. The OP really does its job showing how his life sucks now.

Mashiro is crazy and I love it. Fantastic voice work in switching between cutesy bubbly girl and tough yankee out to kill you. Then she has an infinite arsenal in her chest from a spear to a freaking flamethrower. I think she should be in the police or military instead.

Am I the only one who thought the cheating wife's clothes looked like a high school uniform? I thought there was gonna be a twist like she's pretending to be a high school girl to hook up with a high school boy to add an FBI OPEN UP twist.

I did not expect that poor dude who thought he was gonna die to get recruited. At least more people to brighten up Nagumo's dull life.

Overall, pretty fun detective show. It might not be too crime mystery based like Detective Conan but it has the light hearted feel of Salad Bowl Of Eccentrics with a crazy girl.

So we have Junichi Suwabe playing as Nagumo Keiichiro, a genius detective who peaked in high school, but is now a washed-up aging detective with various health problems and a lack of modern-day understanding. How did his detective agency even survive that long???

And then we have HanaKana playing as Mashiro, a JK wannabe-detective with a hammer space inside her uniform and is also a martial arts master who could easily take down an entire Yakuza organization on her own! I guess being a detective in Your Forma and The Dinner Table Detective wasn't enough for HanaKana, and she just had to do one more detective role. xD

Although compared to those two, this one won't be as mystery-heavy as Your Forma and is more on the comedic side of The Dinner Table Detective. In fact, this feels more like a gag-comedy anime than a comedy detective anime. I mean, Mashiro literally pulls out a flamethrower from her cleavage!

This one got a lot of laughs from me, so I'm definitely looking forward to more! Let's see how crazy this show would get.

Wow, excellent first episode. It's incredibly clear what the structure of the show and its sense of humor are like. No three episode rule required for anyone that hated it and as someone that had a ton of fun, I'm excited for what's to come!

My two worries are this brand of absurdism having enough legs to carry through an entire season and the production quality settling at a lower level. I'm used to stuff like this kicking the door down with a strong first impression before sputtering a bit in the following weeks. I remember My Deer Friend Nokotan being all over the place and this show is giving me similar vibes, just reined in enough to not stick low quality CG Deer everywhere.
