Tantei Gakuen QThese days I’m watching Tantei Gakuen Q. It’s a so-so detective series with animation by Studio Pierrot. Features some bothersome characters like Kyuu (the protagonist) and Megumi (the protagonist would-be girlfriend). What makes this series stand off other detective series is a rather good paced storyline and some… unusual abilities of the characters. Since I’m not going to do a description of each one, let’s just say that Megumi has a photographic memory that allows her to remember everything in detail; and Ryuu, the handsome guy (strange that he wasn’t taller) that never laughs but solves mysteries quite easily.
The Good
As I said, it’s worth watching because of the story. Also, the continuity is quite particular. Always makes you want to see more episodes, and that’s a very good thing. There are no childish stuff, so the “adult” (young adult) target is also another good point.
The Bad
Oh, most of the characters are quite stupid. I find more likable some of the secondary characters than the main ones. Also, there are lots of stories that might be borrowed from Meitantei Conan, like the island one. And the whole Pluto thing screwed the series, more than helping it. If Ryuu went to the other side, then that would have been a lot better. But this way, only made the series worse, more common.
Overall
Watch it. I liked it, even if it’s not going to the be one of the most awesome series you’ll watch, but it will keep you very entertained.
In other comments, the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni connection is strange, isn’t it?
