Synopsis

In a world where half-human, half-animal chimeras live and work alongside normal people, there are sure to be a few bad apples in the bunch. Unfortunately, half-human criminals means non-human clues that often leave the police stumped. That's where lone wolf detectives like Hiroshi Inaba come in. He's literally part wolf and has the amazing ability to extract critical information just by examining or tasting a sample of someone's hair! Of course, that ability has also resulted in Inaba having a little bit of a hair fetish, but that doesn't seem to be a problem for his two assistants. (Well, at least the cross-dressing one isn't complaining much.) And it's nothing compared to the strange tastes of Inaba's nemesis, the omnivorous (and half goat) crime boss Don Valentino, who has an appetite for green legal tender instead of tender young greens! Inaba's sworn to cut Valentino out of the criminal flock before the Don can wolf down more ill-gotten dough, but he's going to have to chew his way through a lot of evidence to get his goat. Can sheer dogged detective work put the baaaaad guys behind bars?

Even though this review is weirdly written this is still my full on opinion on this anime.

ALSO MINOR SPOILER ALERT PROBABLY.

This anime has a goat as a main villain and a dog as a main character. That is all I have to say but I have to write more for it to be a good review. Right? So what makes this anime so special, it is the jokes the slapstick comedy. The occasional fourth wall break and just the goofiness of serious situations. The anime knows how to capitalize on ones humour, if you don’t know how to laugh I swear this anime will ...

My First Attempt for short yet comprehensive Review 2022

I am not into all gag anime's , However if you looking for a refreshing Short Episode wacky anime , with enough story balance between serious & total wack / Clear animation / Simple mind requirements, to have a good heart-warming Laugh on a weekend , then move on to next anime

Look NO Further , You found your Goal!

WARNING: If you are even slightly into concrete story/character development or Absolute Endings , Do NOT Touch this anime, it is not for you

We all have our moods and preferences, Hope this guide is to the goal ;)

Mixed Feelings
Just when I thought I'd plumbed the depths of anime ridiculousness...ridiculosity?...crazily absurd yet awesome farcicality?...someone recommends Cuticle Detective. It's questionable. Wildly outlandish. Hopelessly weird. I loved it.

What's with people re-imagining children's stories these days, anyway? Granted, CD Inaba isn't as recent as the various fairy tale movies that just came out, like Snow White and the Huntress or even the latest Alice in Wonderland, but I just found CD Inaba a couple of months ago and they all seemed to be rolling together.

Though I have to admit, no one in Hollywood would ever twist nursery stories the way that Mochi did with The Wolf and ...
