SynopsisCLAMP School has all the size and resources of a small city. Over 10,000 people - students and their families - live, work, and study within its self-sufficient campus. Any student with talent, regardless of wealth, is gladly accepted into this amazing facility. Covering kindergarten through graduate school, it is without equal anywhere in the world. Nokoru Imonoyama, Student Council President of the Elementary School Division, as well as the Treasurer, Akira, and Secretary, Suoh, are three of the most well-liked and idolized students in school. Nokoru decides that he and his two friends are going to start a detective service, solving any mystery or crime, great or small. But, as Nokoru is a bit theatrical and a shameless romantic, he declares that these detectives will focus on aiding mostly girls and women. With all the resources the school has to offer at their disposal, the CLAMP School Detectives are on a mission to help damsels in distress. (Source: ANN) |

Let me start of by saying this anime was created by the one and only CLAMP.
Now that you know let me start my review.
CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan, or CLAMP School Detectives, is the story of three little investigators Nokoru, Suoh, and Akira, who are also members of the three-person elementary student council of their school.
I guess this has a good story but I didn't see any goal in it. What do they want to happen? What are they trying to find? The only thing I see happening in this anime are there life and times inside the school. They beat bad guys up and discovers themselves after some time.
It has, fortunately, some exciting action. Kids beating up bad guys looks cool.
Storylines' a bit(just a bit) lame but I give the art some praise. The drawings are very detailed and pretty advanced for its time. The hair-blowing is also pretty good.
Though I'm a guy I cannot resist saying... the characters are so cute and adorable.
The music is nice. The pretty sound of the singers' voices are very likable. The opening and ending theme, however, is a letdown for me because it had nothing to do with the anime's plot. Little boys and girls pausing beautifully for the audience.
Once fangirls see them screaming is unavoidable.
The characters are fair enough. Nokoru for me is the blonde eminence of Shuichi Minamino. Suoh is an all around serious character with a pure heart which kind of reminds me of CLAMP's very own Li Shaoran who I like very much. Akira is adorable enough. I felt the girls never contributed anything except blow their pheromone all over Nokoru's staff.
"I'll give my life to this kindergartener." One of them said.
Enjoyment... I can't explain much. I found the action very cool and the character design great. I did not like the storyline and romance though.
My overall score is 7 out of 10. This might not appeal much to hardcore fans but it's perfect for kids or beginners.

I started CLAMP School Detectives because I was on a CLAMP kick, and my first impression of it was: "...It's so cute!"
Story: The story of CLAMP School Detectives is pretty much episodic. Every one or two episodes a different problem will arise, and Nokoru and company will work to fix the problem. Pretty simple, really.
Art/Animation: The animation's good, but not really anything to write home about. However, I loved the character designs; each character had a unique look to them, and the younger ones were just adorable.
Sound: As soon as I heard the opening song, I fell in love with it - it was so cute! I didn't like the first ending too much, but Maaya Sakamoto did a great job on the second one. The voices were also well done, and fit each of the characters. I liked the background music, too; it's not really memorable, but I liked it anyway.
Character: This is where the series shines. Every character is unique and has their own quirks, and the "main five" (Nokoru, Suoh, Akira, Utako and Nagisa) are all well thought-out, solid characters. The relationships between the characters do develop a little bit, but it doesn't get too deep. The supporting characters are also likable (like the trio that works in the bakery).
Enjoyment: This is a nice anime to just sit down and watch; there were some funny moments and some action-based moments (mostly courtesy of Suoh), but sometimes it seems a little too easygoing. This won't have you on the edge of your seat; it's nice to watch if you want to relax.
Overall: One of the cuter and more lighthearted series done by CLAMP, CLAMP School Detectives isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a deeper, less cute series, I suggest moving on. But if you're a CLAMP fan, or looking for something cute, I suggest giving this series a shot. read more

Both are works by Clamp with some very cute characters. The characters from Clamp Campus Detectives appear in an episode of Tsubasa Chronicles as well.

Both series have a group of cute guys who do things to make women happy. The main characters of each are similar (despite the fact that Tamaki is much more spontaneous than Nokoru). CLAMP School Detectives has more "mystery," and Ouran has older characters, but chances are if you enjoyed one then you'll enjoy the other.
