Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited

Just came off finishing this series and DAMN IT WAS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly this series was such a unique experience to watch and I loved it from start to finish. The series starts off episodic with the MCs solving individual crimes to help smooth us into the story then it gets to the main plotline later on. The immediate appeal is Daisuke and the whole theme of Balance Unlimited. I never get sick of seeing him throw around money to solve his problems with that smug smile that makes it hard to hate the guy.

Matter of fact Daisuke is now one of my top 3 favourite ... male characters. The characters in this series are all pretty great. But definitely the highlight of the show is Kato and Daisuke. They have such good chemistry from their opposing views that make them such good partners. One is a normal guy while the other a rich millionaire with a flawed common sense. So the two complement each other where the other lacks. Just watching these two talk is amusing as hell.

As usual with a great anime the soundtrack is AMAZING in Balance Unlimited. It gives it such a unique vibe and feel with its jazz/trumpets that gives that kind of James Bond spy type of feel. Also helps Daisuke's natural charisma to make him the ultimate chad badass lol. The OP is SO GODDAM CATCHY!!!! It really encompasses that rich theme the series has.

Overall I absolutely loved watching this series and highly recommend if you're even slightly interested in the premise or look of the series give it a try. Or if you're not quite hooked yet just go watch the OP on youtube and that might motivate you to watch it with how good the OP is. A very high 9/10. Will definitely buy it on DVD and re-watch again in the future. I'd love to revisit some of the earlier episodes again.

This anime had so much potential from first episodes. The whole idea of a millionaire detective pairing up with a detective, who doesn't like justice being made through money was really fresh to me, but unfortunately the story was rushed and nothing interesting came at the end. I was expecting more character development and engaging fight scenes, but they also were rushed, 11 episodes were clearly not enough to present an interesting plot to the viewers, because 2 or 3 episodes were filler type and the rest didn't succeed in telling the main story right.
There were things that I liked - like the opening ... and ending songs, also the drawing style, but that's all.
I'm being so mean about this anime, because I was very excited about it when it first came out, but like I mentioned in the beginning, it's amazing potential was wasted.

its was disappointing. The story was very intriguing at first because you get two people who have totally different values put together to work. But then the show just focused on this one case and you dont really get to see the two main characters dynamic with each other and it got really boring.

Amazing opening and ending song though. Also mamo-chan voiced Katou which was great.\

overall, I wished the anime focused more on the interactions of the two characters and how they work together. maybe the anime was for the novel readers but it wasn't what I thought it would like.
