Synopsis

Kimihiko Kimizuka has found himself inadvertently entangled in various crimes more times than he can remember, referring to himself as a magnet for trouble. One day, as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, a group of unknown men kidnaps him, forcing him to board a flight—where he also encounters a hijacking. Amid the resulting chaos, however, Kimizuka meets a stunning silver-haired beauty, going by the codename Siesta, who then saves the day.

Claiming to be a legendary detective, Siesta enlists Kimizuka to be her sidekick. Though Kimizuka refuses at first, with Siesta's insistence, he eventually joins her—marking the start of a grand adventure spanning the entire world, preventing multiple threats that could spell doom for humanity along the way.

Unfortunately, after three years of their unpredictable yet enjoyable time together, Siesta abruptly passes away. Distraught, Kimizuka tries to leave all memories of her behind, but as he begins to meet more people, it seems that Siesta's influence will never truly die.

I guess this Anime will definitely get a second season, as the last dialogue of Kimi said "its too soon to call it an epilogue" So I hope it gets a S2...

The story is kinda slow at start but the pace it picks is drastic with major changes in short time, so that might be the reason people have some negative views about this Anime, but who cares if you choose to watch you should have the enthusiasm to complete because as ...

Mixed Feelings
The worst part of this anime is that it could have been good. Besides the first episode, the show feels like random clips from the second or even third season of a show. Plot threads are shown in flashbacks but instead of resolving them, they just create more plot threads that they don't do anything with. I never read the source material for Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru... but I can't imagine how this was all supposed to work.

The anime withholds 90% of the story from you and assures you that stuff was super cool. And then the plot twist only makes sense if the ...

*spoilers*

This show is totally fucking with us.
The main girl is named Siesta. “Siesta” is Spanish for “nap.”
And this show does nothing but put you to sleep.

But that’s only if you’re lucky, because staying awake is torture. I know “The Detective is Already Dead” may sound like an enticing title, but don’t be fooled. This is a battle harem. It may not be set in an academy, and there may not be an arena for waifu fights, but the essential elements are there, and the show isn’t ashamed of this at all. In fact, it’s the only selling point. Why is a show about a ...
