- This review does not take any considerations of any previous Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo material, and the series will be treated just by itself -

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns is, of course, a sequel to Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo, which was a long running series (148 episodes) in the 90s that has also inspired, movies, OVAs and a live action series. First thing I'll make clear is that you don't really need to watch any previous material to enjoy Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns by itself.

This series target a very specific type of audience, and that's the people who like crime fiction. If you ...

The animation isn't ...

When i first heard about, i thought this would be a normal detective anime. But when i watched it, it was so good. The stories are well written. You can't guess the culprit till Kindaichi reveals it.

Everything from the start of the case links to the murder and it confuses the watcher who the real culprit is. You think of someone from the suspects to be the murder but someone is.

Dislike-
The characters are not that great. There is no character development. Other than Kindaichi and Akemichi(An genuis inspector), ...
