Iro’s verdict: It’s Fine
I didn’t hate this, I suppose, but I’m certainly not endeared to it either. Most of the comedy value is coming from Kana Hanazawa hamming it up in the voice booth which I can enjoy but not as the sole point of appeal. I also think if you’re doing some kind of episodic mystery show, you really ought solve the first episode’s mystery in the first episode; I simply don’t care enough about this murder most foul to tune in for a second episode. If I start to hear some buzz out in the world, maybe I’ll stop in again, but otherwise I”m content to leave this one unsolved.
