Case Closed: The Culprit Hanzawa

The anime never takes itself too seriously and is a constant satire of Detective Conan. This is clear from the first line of "Tsukamaete, Konya." It is no coincidence that Hanazawa, our main character, dances in the opening. Hanazawa's last position and the entire dance are a parody of Detective Conan's eighth opening, "Koi wa Suriru, Shokku, Sasupensu." And there are a ton of these self-referential parodies throughout the series. For instance, the anime tackles the subject of what it's like to be a resident of Beika in a neighborhood where there are so many homicides. Furthermore, it is evident that Hanazawa and Ran Mori's character designs are parodies. However, that's all I hope this review will bring.
