I also wish the show wasn’t aimed at kids. The drama in the show was frankly rather annoying and cheesy to watch most of the time. I did not really care much for any other aspect of the show the mystery was pretty much the only thing I found really going for it. The criminals are rather generic, with their weak revenge driven hearts, anger, greed, selfishness or tragic upbringings or events that lead them to do their crimes.Īs for why I like Tantei Gakuen Q, the tricks used in the show were fascinating. The teachers in the show are hardly ever seen, and are pretty much forgettable. Each of the main characters have their own specific traits and talents, and help out in each of the cases using these traits. Character development is near non-existent, from the beginning to the very end characters more or less still act the same (with an exception of a few individuals). With that said, the openings and endings are not bad per se, and I find the first opening to be excellent.Ĭharacters are not really the strongest point in the show. Especially with the cliffhanger endings in the show, a lot of people would probably rather skip through the opening if they could. The openings and endings are rather unmemorable. You’ll most likely not complain if you like it enough that you wouldn’t mind the same piece to be played over and over again. The background music is rather enjoyable to listen to, if not overused in the show. No character really stands out with an incredible voice actor although you may find one or two characters with a VA that you would rather not have to listen to. It is a wonder with the logical nature of this show why the main character has green and white hair (even as a child).įor the sound, voice acting is satisfying. Character designs are simple and more or less unappealing. Occasionally, characters may appear disfigured, but with the focus of the viewer on the mysteries occurring in the show, animation is most likely the last thing on everyone’s minds. The animation is rather plain, and contains nothing special. The ending of the anime, unfortunately, is rather unsatisfying, with the previously mentioned main plotline finishing off rather unresolved. A plotline runs throughout the entire series, although the main focus of the show is still on the specific crimes in each case. Occasionally the story may drift to cheesiness, and certain parts may be quite predictable. Majority of the mysteries are fun to watch, with some crimes containing tricks that are incredibly complicated. There are a number of multi-episode mysteries in the show, which in my opinion are much more interesting, witty and detailed compared to the one-shot mysteries. Tantei Gakuen Q is episodic, with each episode mostly focusing on differentĬrimes that occur around Kyuu and his friends. Together their group tackles a number of mysteries and crimes that occur. He befriends a number of the other students in the school, each with their own specific talents. He eventually enrolls into the famed Dan Detective School, a specialist school that train students into detectives. Based on the manga by Seimaru Amagi and Fumiya Satou, Tantei Gakuen Q is about the young Kyuu, who is talented at deduction and reasoning. Tantei Gakuen Q is pretty much just another detective show with fairly interesting mysteries for all the detective addicts to get high on.
