This anime is about a cop, Haru Kato, and an inspector, Daisuke Kambe, who is a multi-millionaire, who work together on cases despite their differences and constant conflict between them. The anime covers the question of why a millionaire needs to work as an inspector, the bond between Haru and Daisuke, and the mysterious element.
The anime is filled with comedy, excitement, and some serious tone to it at certain points. The first four episodes are just there to give character establishment with a filler criminal case per episode. The main storyline starts in the fifth episode and continues in further episodes. It would have been good if the makers started the story from the first episode or the second. The difference between Haru and Daisuke is written well, establishing that Haru tries to use his skills legally, but Daisuke throws money on technology, people, and things to solve the case.
Haru's trauma from the mistake he made in the past case was also a good addition to his character, as he has redemption later in the story. The backstory of millionaire Daisuke's intentions to become an inspector was written well. The millionaire losing the things he relied on too much and overcoming and paying back the culprit was also a good addition to his character. The twists and turns and the distractions to set up the big reveal were also well-written as the story unfolded in each episode.
The comical scenes were decent, as they made you smile at some points. The technologies Daisuke uses are admirable to watch as he uses them according to the situation. The action scenes were decent, and I can't complain as it is not the genre of the show. The climax was satisfactory to the story.
As I watched it in English dub, the voice acting is good and suits every character well. The animation style is good too. The music is decent, and the comical narration of the show is acceptable.
In conclusion, it's a decent watch to me. If filler portions were cut down, then it would be better than the current one. I suggest if you like a mystery story in comical narration, then check out this anime.

I normally don't like detective stuff. But this is very good. The characters were plot addictive. especially its drawing and opening are excellent. I advise.
Torn between the concepts of "fan-service" anime series and "low-key" mystery
anime series. I hope they do not bail me on the "mystery" part.
To be honest, watching this series was such a unique experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The MCs solve various crimes at the beginning of the show to help acclimate viewers before introducing the major plotline later on. Daisuke and the overall idea of Balance Unlimited appeal immediately. His self-satisfied smirk, which makes it difficult to dislike him, never gets old to me when he throws money around to fix his issues.
In actuality, one of my top three favorite male characters right now is Daisuke. This series features some really amazing characters. But Kato and Daisuke are unquestionably the show's high point.

So I went in to The Millionaire Detective episode 1&2 with zero ex po expectations but turns out it's so much entertaining to watch
Art style and the Characters design are really good and both OP and ED are good too
