For those of you who watched the first two seasons of Milky Holmes, and then decided, "I have had enough moe comedy, I don't want to watch the Alternatives." Watch the Alternative. These two episodes are the 180 of Milky Holmes. It shows what would have happened if they had never lost their Toys.

Preliminary (1/2 eps)
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes was a series that caught me by surprise with its eccentric characters and ridiculous humor. This special, however, is Milky Holmes devoid of the charm that made the original series so enjoyable.

In short, the four Milky Holmes girls solve a mystery in London with the help of their mentor, Kobayashi Opera. Sounds like a recipe for a good bit of fun, right?

Well, not really. The episode is, in a word, dull. The girls’ new competence is a double-edged sword: ...
