Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri 2nd Season

Not long after forming their partnership, detectives Ron Kamonohashi and Totomaru Isshiki have proven adept at solving various cases together. However, the two are further motivated to continue their work when they discover that the House of M—an infamous crime syndicate—orchestrated Ron's expulsion from the prestigious Detective Training Academy BLUE five years prior. It appears that this group is also linked to Ron's mysterious ability that causes those around him to lose their lives, a phenomenon which Ron is desperate to stop.

A member of the House of M soon starts to commit boastful serial murders around Shibuya as an act of provocation toward Ron. Consequently, the investigative pair must do their best to apprehend the culprit for the sake of justice as well as learning more about Ron's dark past and present condition.

I disliked the first season so much, but I decided to trust the process and continue watching it. it was worth it.
Unlike season one, the second season gives you some hints by which you can guess who might be the culprit and how their plan works. On the other hand, it also follows the story of Ron's life, our main character, which all of us are obviously more interested in.

I somehow believe all the random cases that we watched Ron solve were only there to show us "hey this dude is a genius! he solves cases with just a glance." I think one case was ... enough to prove this to us, but they gave us many random and unrelated cases in season one with no hint for the viewer to guess and follow what happened, which made season one boring.

however, season two somehow fixed these issues a bit:
1) cases had more hints for the viewer to assume who the culprit is.
2) we learn new information about who Ron is and what has happened to him.
3) some of the cases that Ron solves are related to him and who he is.

I believe season two (and season one also) should've focused on Ron's story more and avoided solving unnecessary unrelated cases to make it more enjoyable and interesting. however, the cases in season two were solved in a logical way with all the given hints, forcing viewers to pause and try to solve the case on their own.

Preliminary (11/13 eps)

This review won’t contain any spoilers for Season 2 but assumes you’re caught up with Season 1.

In one word: masterclass.

The visuals are fairly standard but do their job well. The animation is polished, and the soundtrack is effective. Artistically, nothing shocking or breathtaking, but everything aligns perfectly with Season 1’s style, so you can expect consistency in that regard.

Now, about the story: while Season 1 followed a rhythm of about 20-30% overarching plot episodes and 70-80% episodic ones (where episodes have a self-contained story, like a murder mystery solved within one or two episodes), Season 2 flips the script. It leans more toward 60-70% overarching ... plot and 30-40% episodic mysteries. That’s an important factor for your enjoyment. If you love well-crafted narratives with interconnected events, multi-step plans, and long-term storytelling, Season 2 will likely be right up your alley. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a casual crime series with standalone episodes featuring clever whodunits where you can guess the culprit yourself, Season 2 might not be for you—it offers fewer “small mysteries” and focuses more on advancing the main plot.

And that main plot?
We dive deep into Ron’s past, which—as teased in Season 1—seems connected to the Moriarty family. But there’s more: we get insights into his youth, his education, and key events from the past that lead to an intense, closed-circle investigation. It’s like a massive game of Clue, unraveling a deadly enigma.

The story elements are spot-on, though towards the end, you might find yourself questioning some secondary characters’ choices—they make some irrational decisions that seem to jeopardize their survival. It’s almost like you want to yell, “Well, you shouldn’t have gone off alone!” From emeralds to a mysterious invitation sent 17 years ago, to all the players in a grim tale, this season will glue you to your seat. Every episode pulls you into the next, especially as things heat up toward the end.

If there’s one minor downside, it’s that a few of the episodic cases are a bit too predictable. But honestly, the anime is severely underrated in my opinion and absolutely deserves at least an 8/10.
For my part, my level of enjoyment makes me give it a 9!

Enjoy the watch!

Mixed Feelings

This second season of Ron Kamonohashi started off strongly with a crime orchestrated by the M. family. This first arc is three-episodes long and gave me a lot of hope as I was waiting for answers, since season 1 was a series of random crimes that were mostly unrelated to the bigger/main plotline. However, the next episodes of season 2 followed the same narrative as season 1: Toto and Ron will go here & there and investigate random crimes. But, as compared to season 1, those will allow Ron to try something, which I can't say otherwise it would be spoilers; in other words, those ... random investigations still serve the plot. It is not until the last arc of the season that the story will tie back to the intrigue surrounding Ron. This last arc was four-episodes long and finally gave us the answers we were waiting for in the last two episodes. Therefore, if you don't like having to sit through random investigations that are unrelated to the main plotline, then you will not really enjoy this show. I do think that the answers we got were worth watching the entire season.

I have to say that the random crimes always feel a bit unreal and I cannot take them that seriously, as the strategies adopted by the criminals don't really seem possible to put in place. That said, the author is really creative and that is appreciated, because I, like Toto, cannot solve those mysteries by myself.

The only gripe I have with the show so far is the development of Totomaru. One would think that he'd start solving the crimes by himself but he is still counting on Ron's reveals and explanations, which means he is just a spokesperson for Ron. I would've liked to see him progressively start finding things on his own. Thankfully, in the last arc, he was very useful and of great support to Ron (can't say more otherwise this is spoilers), so I can probably see him evolving towards crime-solving by himself in the future; that would be great!

Overall, this is an enjoyable second season, which is slightly better than the first one as we dive deeper into the main intrigue!

I selected "mixed feelings" as I don't think I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mention the anime to me. If you are interested in the anime, my review is what I would tell you, and I would recommend the show, if you're not expecting an anime that is complex and has a complex storyline.
