    Great multi genre anime

    This show had me wondering if I'd like it after it's first episode. Im usually a huge action fan get that slice of life away from me. This one took me by surprise. While reading i always love a good romance story set in the action but you seem to rarely get romance and great action in a single anime. This one has not only great action and romance, but mystery, the supernatural, and characters that i greatly enjoy! I hope this gets a season 2 because it's a multi genre anime that needs the recognition so that more anime can be more than just fighting or slice of life. I want more mixtures!

    Exposition until you fall asleep.

    The show was so poorly executed, despite a decent premise, that I STRUGGLED to even make it near the end of season 1. The main female protagonist trying to force herself upon the male interest was uncomfortable to watch, and there was so much redundant exposition, the show was not enjoyable to watch.

    The show deserves its low ratings because regardless of presenting itself as a mystery/suspense, maybe even horror or action, it failed to deliver anything unique/special. The animation and art designs were good enough, but nothing that would be distinguishable from any other demon/yokai/spirit/curse, etc. Type of anime. Despite watching 9 1/2 episodes of the first season, I couldn't retain any entertainment or sense from the plot and had to drop it (this would have been okay to watch if I was expecting a slice-of-life where nothing happens but it was severely disappointing to expect a mystery for it to have pacing like a slice-of-life). The show started out with potential but quickly became dull. Terrible pacing and so much nonsensical dialogue where characters are narrating just to fill up screen time with information that did not make sense or matter for whatever plot was planned initially. It might be better reading the material but there was absolutely nothing noteworthy for the show.

    None of the characters were likeable for me (maybe Steel Lady Nanase but I mean, TEN episodes focused on her when I was expecting more variety.) It shouldn't take about 4 hours to WATCH only that section about her. The last few episodes were Kotoko trying to come up with solutions for the same issue. Seriously, could we move on? If you want to waste 4-5+ hours of your life watching this, go for it. And there's a season 2 as well if there's nothing better for you to do and just want to use up pretty much half your day.

    I accidentally falling a sleep while watching this show

    I think i just didn't like story style of what this show gave to me. i already read the synopsis and i expecting something good. like action, comedy. the comedy was good and the action was nicely animated. but, the comedy is rarely appeared on this show and action of the main character (Kuro Sakuragawa) was so lame. like come on man he can do it better he is already hundred years of living and still dont know how to fight. the girl officer (Saki Yumihara) is not like police officer at all, he is too coward for anything, how she was ended up being police officer if she is too coward and not brave. that character is so annoys me. 70% of this show is full of talking and that thing is made me bored.

    Ratings should be higher

    I'd say this is a fine anime. Without looking at the IMDb page, I would have given it an 8 or something. But having looked at the ratings, I can't let this good anime be dropped down like this. The episodes are very interesting and the mysteries are very amusing to watch. The entire concept of the show is likeable. Immortality, ghosts, eating the flesh of mermaids and what not... It would be a shame if the ratings remain this way. I recommend this anime. It will give you a feel like Sherlock Holmes's wisdom meets the horrors of the anime "Another".

    Mystery

    In mystery novels, people typically employ every piece of information and reasoning at their disposal to uncover the truth. Rather, Kyokou Suiri fabricates a lie using all available data and reasoning.

    Kurou Sakuragawa and Kotoko Iwanaga are the two main characters in the narrative. One of them is a "goddess of wisdom" for the youkai that inhabit the planet, and the other is an apparently ordinary guy who is actually something else entirely. Together, Kotoko and Kurou form a group and work to address the fears and concerns of the nearby youkai. You could also say that Kotoko clings to Kurou.

    Three characters, Kotoko, Kurou, and Saki, engage with a blend of humor and paranormal themes in this anime. Kurou is simple but strong, but Kotoko is cruel and hilarious. Saki, who was formerly Kurou's ex, is brave, witty, and gorgeous. This season, there is a lot of anticipation for the show because it presents a novel take on Mystery. The manga gives greater depth and solutions for readers who are not interested in animation.
