Preliminary Spoiler

Preliminary (13/24 eps)
I went into this show with a lot of hope. There have been other recent anime influenced by the work of Edogawa Ranpo that have been pretty enjoyable, namely Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace and my favorite dumb anime from the 90s Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo, so I was really pulling for this one to at least be fun. It didn't even have to be good, just in some small way enjoyable and then I would've been IN.

Then I watched the first episode of the show, and at the end I said to myself, "Well that was kinda boring and lackluster, but I bet ...

Well about the anime Trickster

Don't know what to tell you the anime at the start looked promising but after few episodes it has become boring and stupid nothing interesting happened,it's not worth watching....
The start was really good I thought gonna be a good anime since Kobayashi appear an immortal guy,and he wanted too die I was excited ,the 1st 7 or 8 episodes were ok really good to be honest,but after that it lost everything the story droped,nothing interesting,just boring conversation and some stupid mission and so it goes to the end....
The end is absolute crap...
If you want to waste your time go ahead ...

Trickster is right!, as in this anime tricked you into watching this borefest.

Well LA will be quite honest here...from the eyesore of Soul Busters, to the utter lull of Bloodivores...Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo "Shounen Tanteidan" yori was LA WORST anime of Fall 2016 and had rightfully gained that title. So want to know why?...let's dive into it shall we?

Before getting to the flaws of Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo "Shounen Tanteidan" yori, let's at least see LA giving "praise"...though there's not gonna be much. For what the one-episode mysteries Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo "Shounen Tanteidan" yori brings out, some are interesting, no not intriguing or anything but the earliest ...

Preliminary (12/24 eps)
Wow did this show take a bad turn quickly. I actually really liked the premise and the characters weren't bad to begin with but around episode nine this show went into a different direction. Without trying to spoil anything, one of the main characters personality totally did a 180. This character was almost too difficult to watch and the hole time I expected things to get better but it all just led up to a horrible season finally where nothing was sorted out. Very dissapointing since I thought this series had some potential. If anyone does decide to watch this I suggestion ending ...

Preliminary (11/24 eps)
I really tried to keep following it by seeing a huge potential in history. Basically as you know a suicidal boy just can not kill himself because of some mysterious power he has that makes him immortal.

Throughout the episodes you know the important characters that will always appear in the story however they are not anything cool and remarkable. They even try a development of each character in some episodes but that simply does not work, in this story development issue and the basis of it, the script is horrible.

Throughout the anime there are few scenes in which they exploit the boy's power and the ...

The anime had so much potential to be good, yet, it missed it.

It had a good start with Kobayashi and his super powers etc... detective club sounds interesting hmm but as the story progresses it just became a mess. It was actually fun at the beginning, but after the Hanasaki thing it lost me. The ending was too a let-down. Art wise, faces were distorted in some frames lol

Also, Twenty and Akechi’s relationship is like ???????? Get a room? Sit down and talk it out? Thrills?? I definitely didn't get any.

Overall, the story just lacked, the character development was also lacking, I probably wouldn't ...

I won't bother myself from writing an entire essay on this anime, for others have already done so, but I'll share few brief opinions, one of which is the fact that the plot is a totally mediocre.

2. Roughly 85% of the characters are just straight bland and/or don't even bother, which brings down the enjoyment to 7, after all character interactions is one of the most important aspects, which is a complete fail in this anime.

3. Hanasaki's character just keeps on getting annoying as he starts to face problems and develops, which is the reverse purpose of character development which is to create a emotional ...

Preliminary (14/24 eps)
I found this on the "latest episodes" list, and watched the first 14 episodes. Overall, the show simply doesn't seem to go anywhere, and I believe one of the character's attitude mirrors that of the people running the show "tsk, I don't care". The show, as a concept, has potential, but the characters lack depth or even development beyond a very superficial level. The plot line doesn't seem to exist beyond an episodic nature of solving the case of the day, and getting nowhere closer to actual character development beyond 2-d cookie cutter characters where a swimming pool with no water has ...
