This is like glass onion of Anime. It's deconstruction of Detective/Mystery genre.

A fine first episode. Very much sets the unserious tone of the show. The animation isn't the best, but they work with it. I very much enjoy the detailed closeup of character's faces gag. Overall, pretty funny.

Episode Context

A comedy-mystery premiere that wastes no time establishing its central odd couple. Keiichirou Nagumo, a washed-up former prodigy detective well past his glory days, collides with Mashiro, a high-energy high school girl who forces her way into his life as a self-appointed assistant. The episode splits into two vignettes, the first focused on reintroducing Nagumo's deflated ego and faded reputation, the second throwing the mismatched pair into their first pest-related case. Expect a brisk, gag-forward tone that mines the generational clash between an analog-era detective and a digitally native teenager for most of its laughs. Light mystery elements are present but clearly play second fiddle to character comedy. The pacing keeps things snappy across both halves, prioritizing setup and chemistry over any deep case work.
