    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.

    It was rather a good anime

    This anime is quite good. At first I thought it would be boring to watch. But a friend of mine insisted on to watch it. So,I gave it a go and I found it enjoyable. Now a second season is coming soon. Really forward to watch.

    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".

    Interesting premise, excellent art, but struggles in the end.

    Visually striking and unique premise combined with strong characters in the beginning hooks you. But in the end it falls flat as it has multiple episodes lacking substance and an ending arc that fails to live up to the first half of the series.

    A second season might redeem the disappointment felt at the close of the final episode, until then in my mind it was a slightly above average supernatural anime that fought with itself over direction, depth and tone.

    Pro's:
    • Excellent Animation.
    • Above average English dubbing.
    • Unusual premise and characters.
    • Great first few episodes.
    • Completed story arc.


    Con's:
    • Sluggish and unfocused last half.
    • Unfulfilling and odd ending.

    Great characters and great art, but not what was expected

    I think the problem that some people have with the show is how different it is from what was advertised. The previews portrayed In/spectre as a horror, when it is actually just a supernatural mystery show. But even if you wanted a horror, you can't help fall in love with the lead characters and the artwork. The female lead is energetic and fun, even though you expect her to serious and relaxed. There are so many other reasons why this show was so good.
