| It definitely tries to be entertaining but I didn't find it interesting in the least. I don't really like detective stories by themselves and it seems like the show will be episodic connected through all the weird and very annoying characters. And oh, there are 24 episodes overall, I think I'll pass. |

| I really enjoyed this pilot episode. Their manager , Mrs. Hudson's design, is probably inspired by Lady Beard or someone similar. I enjoy the diversity of characters because it's its strongest point. The crime-solving concept isn't anything new so the characters usually carry the series and bring charm to it. Sherlock has a weird design though, his forehead and chin are big enough to fit both China and Russia. Watson has a square-ish features and a rectangular face. Appearance-wise, none of them are attractive except for megane-kun, Kyougoku, who sorta reminds me of Sakamoto from Sakamoto desu ga. |

| Well, that was Something. |

Same here, thought the same! Deleting evidence is still a crime tho. So I gotta say, he really sucks lol. |
| EEEEWWWW, already that Hudson and those other trap almost made me puke. Man, that was the worse Sherlock character that I've ever seen. |
| welll it seems the episode is a bit open but let's see how it goes |
 |
| Not sure what to make of this yet, maybe I will give it a couple more episodes |
| I was really charmed by this. Hope the rest of this show is as funny/interesting as this episode was. I'm a big fan of Sherlock, and already love this interpretation of Mrs Hudson. I didn't even realise who she was until after the episode. |
 |
| plot is ok, not sure i like its depiction of sherlock and watson yet, but they're bearable for now. what's unbearable to the point of making me drop this show is its utterly disgusting and mocking portrayal of the transgender and homosexual community. it makes fun of trans and gays and doesn't portray them as the way they are in real life all for the sake of comedy, at the expense of them. it's absolutely disgusting and i cannot bear to watch any more of this show |
| not really feeling it... 3/5. |
 |
| biggest "wtf did I just watch" -moment in a while |

Raymond_Bermea said: Kamurocho isn't a real place and its just based on kabukicho almost to an identical tee outside of the millenium tower which isnt real.Wish this show was called Kamurocho Sherlock and it would be like that Yakuza game called Judgment. Katsuyuki Konishi, who voices Sherlock, he voiced Jun Oda from Yakuza 0. Yuichi Nakamura, who voices Watson, he was Han Joon Gi in Yakuza 6. Just wish the protagonists could be voiced by Kazuma Kiryu, Goro Majima and Lars Alexandersson themselves, Takaya Kuroda, Hidenari Ugaki and Junichi Suwabe. To voice the antagonists are Isshin Chiba and Kazuhiro Nakaya. Jin Kazama and Akira Nishikiyama themselves. Matter of fact the show should oughta be titled Law & Order Kamurocho. Yakuza meets Sherlock Holmes. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Tbh this felt weird Will give at least 2 more episodes a try |
| I'll probably gonna stick with this, but as much as I don't mind original take on Sherlock Holmes, this first episode is just really really poor. |
| I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die. |
| Well not a bad start but I want this to get serious. Sherlock isn't what i expected him to be. He is a gd detective i guess but his personality and that thing he does when he explains is meh. |
 |
| Interesring yet also weird. Detectives who live in red district. So funny when sherlock holmes doing rakugo to explaining mystery of the case. So funny when your future client hit you. 😂 |
| It's proper weird, this is how some gays and transgenders act, I've seen it in real life (I live in Amsterdam 100% reliable source), on television and online. Quite fun, like all the dumb quirks mixed with murder mystery. That Rakugo scene was hilarious. |
| poop |
| good start, the first episode give me laugh and wierd (the guy who singing). i think i will watch all the episode of this series. |
 |
| That was really good. Sherlock with split personality disorder. The bar owner is just weird man. |
 |
| Not bad for a first episode. Nice atmosphere and music with a bit comedy mixed in and the main that came to find Sherlock seems to have skills (a doctor) as well. Now this is better than episoe 1 of that special unit 7 (long japanese name) anime. |
CHC said: Nice animation but confusingly paced. Also wtf with those trite, unfunny and overdone jokes on trans people and gay people? I thought I saw more drag then trans, there |
| my dark magical girl webseries https://unsafemahoushoujo.wordpress.com/blog/ |
| hm ok im not that into already, let's see if it gonna pass on the three episode test |
| I am not a fan of Toshiyuki Yahagi's character design work. From what I saw, this show is a mess. Shame, I was looking forward to this one. At least there is a good mystery series this season. This is not that series. |
 |
| I loved the bohemian mood. It's reminding me of something from the 2000s, Satoshi Kon, etc. |
| This was wierd, but not bad. |
| Welp, if it was this and Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin (that was supposed to air in Spring for the former), I would've chosen the latter instead. Combining the terminologies of Sherlock Holmes and helper Watson with Japan's weirdly East Side town is considered weird enough already, it seems off-putting. At least that Rakugo feel doesn't seem bad. All things drag/trans and gay...but not lovely. 3 episode-count is in store. |
 |
| I think this anime has great potential, enjoyed the mystery and also the comedy. I just wonder why the score is so low? |
| Okay... This was wild, and kind of funny. Poor girl though, being killed like that. At least the culprit was caught I guess. And I do get Mattsun, it would be hard to not be seduced by someone like Norio. lol I think it was my favorite scene. xD Not really a fan of Mrs. Hudson groping Watson though, I hope the character isn't there only for this kind of "comic relief." |

Dororun said: I think this anime has great potential, enjoyed the mystery and also the comedy. I just wonder why the score is so low? Some viewers are offended by depiction of trans and gay community. Some are offended by the presence of trans. Others hated the rakugo sketch Sherlock did. While certain demographic feels that the anime gives a really "unreal" vibes of case solving. Hence the rating drop. |
| slept while watching it... i like animes in this theme but if theres no tension its boring |
| Wow, I didn't expect detectives living in the red district. Some weirds things about this serie, especially comedy style and Holmes's Personality. However, I think that have a potential premise. Good Luck. |
   You and the rose are connected. Know the weight of your own life |
| Yeah I'm not feeling this at all. The characters are just so bland and uninteresting, the disturbing flamboyant style of most of them feel so forced. Sherlock Holmes adaptations almost never turn out well unless the entire genre is changed so I'm not surprised it's not that great, but the changes that made here to be "original" are just weird. I might give this another episode or two but I can already tell I'm not going to like this. |
 |
| Yeah I don't know if I can hang with this one. Nothing interest me, literally nothing. Didn't like the characters, the comedy nor the case they were investigating. Normally id give an anime I start at list 3 to 5 episodes. However im only giving this one 2 episodes before I decide whether to drop it or not. |
 |
| Why is Sherlock and other his book's characters in modern Japan? This setting is nonsensical trainwreck. |
 |
| >deduction rakugo lmao Pretty strong start, classic characters like Lestrade and Jack were perfectly mixed with the Kabukichou locals and peculiar atmosphere. Solid key animation and chara design. If the story keeps being decent this could be a real little gem. |
 |
| I hope future eps slow down the pace a bit. |
