| Another ep to add in my "best of Master Keaton list". Solid ep, great background on Daniel and Keaton, and on to the OVA... |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
| What the heck? This was supposed to be an ending? There is chapter 25??? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| This show felt very relaxing to me, I thought it would be much darker than it was. Onto the OVAs now, hope they introduce Keaton's ex-wife and maybe they can patch things up. |
 |
| A cute beginning. It's a shame these 'mysteries' tend to be so blatant, but it's seeing Keaton, the atmosphere, the settings, and various premises that keeps this show a step above what you might expect given the straight narratives. 10th_man_down said: Definitely something to look forward to. Perhaps an episode featuring one of Keaton's special forces exploits would be nice to see too.hope they introduce Keaton's ex-wife and maybe they can patch things up. |
| Considering how episodic the show is I wasn't expecting some big arc ending, but it was nice to get a little more backstory. Overall this was a great show, 9/10 |
 |
| A decent ending, although it was a bit strange to see Keaton's partner after all this time. Overall I liked the first 8 episodes a lot and then the last few were also okay. The mysteries were mostly predictable and comparing them to other (non-anime) works of the genre, laughably simple. There were problems with plots, but also lots of infodumps in which events were merely narrated, and they didn't make use of the animation aspect much. And also some "as you know" dialogue in which Keaton tells characters what everyone (except the viewer) already knows. These episodes were below average, considering the tropes of the genre. The historical episodes also suffered from these storytelling flaws, mainly from telling and not showing enough, but at least I found the stories interesting, and Keaton was also a more compelling character when he was in the archeologist/adventurer mode instead of being a detective. This aspect of the show could have warranted 8/10, if only it had been dominant and developed a bit better. So, overall 6/10. A fine anime in which the good episodes slightly outweigh the stale ones. I don't feel compelled to watch the OVA series after this, but might do so in the hope it contains fewer mysteries. |
| Well, a prequal story of how keaton become loyd agent...interesting. It personally liked the second half of the series a lot more(maybe because I switched to dub). Master Keaton really have some good interesting side character at times. My favorite episode is winery one. Few episode I disliked, but mostly great show Time to go to the ovas |
  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| When I first read the show's description, I was thinking that it was going to be similar to a manga I liked: The Legendary Musings of Professor Munakata. While it hasn't quite turned out like that, I still enjoyed the series thus far. I'm a fan of the majority of the episodes, of course, there were a few that were kind of lame or far-fetched. But I'm impressed that no matter the style of episode - slice of life, action/detective, historical, they were all pretty captivating. Episode 14 is probably the best episode though (in this main TV series at least, not sure if that'll change after I watch the OVA). |
