Vampire Holmes

The great detective Holmes does not solve mysteries or use deductive reasoning. He does, however, hunt vampires. Using three-minute episodes, Vampire Holmes retells the story of the great Holmes and his assistant. What begins as an ordinary detective agency takes a turn for the occult when the Metropolitan Police of London secretly hire Holmes and Hudson to investigate vampires.

Or at least that's what Holmes would tell anyone who asks. In reality, he and Hudson spend most of their time sitting around arguing, and failing to solve any cases. Joined by the not-so-black, demon cat Kira, and their terrifying rent-hungry landlady, this is the story of the man who was most definitely not London's greatest detective.

If I were to describe Vampire Holmes, it would be like this:

Sherlock Holmes but with a twist that I can't spoil.
Trust me, it will blow your mind when you get to episode 12.

I've watched the whole series 23 times now.

I can't enjoy other comedies anymore because whenever I watch them, I end up wanting to watch Vampire Holmes instead!

The characters are simply brilliant... Hudson is a far more interesting reimagining of Watson and Christina is a terrifying adversary...
...
The plotline... outstanding...

Don't listen to the haters, you know how I would also describe Vampire Holmes?

A masterpiece.

Mixed Feelings

An odd short form anime series that has Holmes not solving cases and doing nonsensical things to avoid paying rent and working in general, much to his assistant Hudson's dismay.

Kind of hard to recommend this one even to puritan Sherlock Holmes fans, the anime hinges on being a whacky comedy.

The subbed version I watched also had a few translation errors that made the show look even more low budget and amateurish.

Overall I didn't find it offensive or the worst thing in the world if anything it just left me scratching my head in confusion at the end of it.

There's also ads at ... the start of most episodes that looks like an app where the player solves Holmes cases, seems like an interesting concept on paper and probably could work better if another detective based franchise tried this idea out with better execution that links into a running show.

I give it a confused Hudson out of 10

Wow... Just wow...

This extremely ugly and obnoxiously merchandised (it promotes a similarly crappy mobile game, reminding you about it in every episode) slapstick comedy had, in my experience, one fairly funny joke (the one with 30% discount) and one somewhat passable one. The rest is complete gibberish with no redeeming qualities.

There's also absolutely no value in watching as a kind of "so bad it's good" piece of anime. It actively tries to be parody, but the awful writing, horrible art and mediocre delivery of the jokes make it utterly worthless, leaving nothing to laugh at even ironically. Did I already mentioned obnoxious advertisement? It's a ... constant element that adds even more insult to the injury of suffering through this. The only positive is 3 minute episodes that make it possible to go through the whole series in one short sitting and leaving it behind you forever...

10 of the WORST Anime of All Time

There are plenty of bad anime out there. But only a few shows are downright unwatchable. Ugly animation, nonsensical plots, and boring characters sink many anime, but only some fail in every possible way. Here are ten of the worst anime you'll wish you'd never wasted your time on.
