![]() Keith has to deal with his own issues and a crime that has plagued him for 8 years. Keith’s scribbles on Kaela Yoshinaga’s expensive monitor She works out mysteries similarly to him and it’s clear she has a long way to go before she is on par with him, but she is the closest person on the team who could meet him somewhat at the middle. This isn’t to say that she doesn’t play an important role in this story, she adds the humanity and comedic relief that you don’t get from Keith. Even though the series focuses mostly on B and Keith, you have other highlighted lead characters like Lily Hoshina, another cop on RIS who is pegged as someone who is on the same line of thinking as Keith. Text or diagrams would just appear as he works a crime scene or things over a mystery, allowing us the viewers to peer in on his train of thought and figure out things we might’ve missed. A fun feature in the anime is how they incorporate his thought process on the screen. He draws and writes out mathematical equations on everything and doesn’t care if he ruins your expensive computer monitor or the walls of a room in his apartment. ![]() He has needs to write things down and solve things out in a mathematical fashion. He is pretty intense and straight forward in his approach. He’s not your Detective Cohan in how he solves mysteries in a comical and know-it-all kind of way. One of my favorite things about this series was Keith and how his mind works. ![]() After watching a lot of anime series that are either magical like The Ancient Magus Bride or full of action like Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens, I was in the mood, maybe a need, for a series that would get my brain working.Įvery now and then it’s nice to jump into a series that makes you feel like you’re on top of the mystery when you’re actually about 5 steps behind. This psycho-triller, get deep into your cerebral, anime knows how to pull their viewers out of what they THOUGHT they knew and into the mind of a cunning detective. Before you start to think I’m overhyping something, and I can promise you I’m not, this anime series was pure brain candy. So it wasn’t a surprise that the quality of the animation and storylines were top notch. Even though you find out practically in episode 1 and 2, who they are…I’m going to leave that for you guys.ī: The Beginning is a product of the amazing production company, Production I.G who have given us bangers like Attack on Titan, Ghost in the Shell, FLCL, Kimi ni Todoke, Sengoku Basara, and so many more that I highly recommend. ![]() ![]() To avoid spoiling it and ruining a pretty good mythical lore, I’m not going to talk about B. The jumping back and forth between mythical, almost biblical lore and modern science gone wrong is amazing and keeps each episode fresh and makes you want to know who is B and if they’re an ally or the enemy. It’s the why they did it, the separate storyline that goes along with it, and how that all ties in with Keith is where the money is. Who B is in terms of the killings that got them famous is the least important part of the story. Pretty early on, actually in the first episode, you find out who B is and you learn Keith knew as well and he wasn’t too concerned. While it may appear that the main focus of this story should be about the killer, which it is in its own way, the story also follows Keith as he works through another mystery that deals with yet another serial killer that sits right under our noses. ![]()
