Alright so I do plan to fully review/cover Ron Kamonohashi No Kindan Suiri at its fullest form someday since the anime isn't finished at the moment yet (at the time of writing this, the anime just airred it's 3rd episode)
Although you can think of this as a first impression review about what I think so far rather than a full fledged analysis review, especially since on the behalf of being a huge Katekyo Hitman REBORN fan AND a follower of Akira Amano's works, but rest assured that I did infact read the manga for the sake of knowing what to expect from the anime but
...
I will not be spoiling the important parts of the story
So far, the anime has an interesting touch to it, it is in a way unlike many detective shows, people may complain and say that "it feels more like a comedy than a mystery show" but I think that's what makes it unique, not every detective show has a comedy in it and in my opinion this delivers well. Sure, there are other mystery shows like Conan, Moriarty The Patriot that sorta has comedy here and there? but it's not entirely the main focus. Comedy is subjective at the end of the day but Ron's comedic moments does sit well for me which is okay in my book
The characters are obviously a tons of fun and the dynamic duo between Ron and Toto (which is obviously a parallel of Reborn and Tsuna with a bit of Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson respectively) is arguably one of the best parts of the show. The main character Ron isn't this "perfect" and "flawless" detective character, infact he's the opposite. He is good in deduction skills, very eccentric and being highly perceptive but he is not good at catching criminals since he basically manipulates them to die, the point and idea of being a detective is not just highly skillful intellectually but also catching the criminal, therefore Totomaru (being the deuteragonist) is the perfect partner for him, he may not be smart but his body acts faster than his brain to stop Ron's disgraceful streak, it may be weird for Ron to have an ability to basically kill criminals but I think that's what the point of the mystery is, there's a mystery attach as to why is it even there but it's also goes for what he's named after, being a "deranged detective" (or in this case, making "forbidden deductions) and for a bit of a spoiler, it doesn't happen all, the time.
Oh and of course, the character design is absolutely great which isn't surprising considering it's all behind Akira Amano, nuff said
Speaking of character design, I'm vastly surprised with how the animation turned out, it may not be anything special but it really did grew on me the more I rewatch the episodes, Diomedea really outdid themselves with this one, the background, the colors, everything felt unique and in a way very fitting, not to mention the well-paced and incredible dialogue which is behind the one and only Wataru Watari, again very fantastic
The opening music, OSTs and the ending songs are also all really amazing, Unison Square Garden always guarantee to make banger songs and this one proves it, sure it may a bit "too pop" or "too happy" for people's taste but it's still catchy nonetheless.
Mystery shows nowadays usually don't get that much hype now (besides Conan, Moriarty and I guess Bungo Stray Dogs) and unfortunately for good reasons as mystery shows are really hard to get right in anime form. Take a look at "Detective Is Already Dead" for instances, a "mystery" show that came out 2 years before this one, I've heard a lot of complains that it didn't hold up very well after the first episode, I only watched the first episode myself so I don't have a personal experience but there were a lot of legitimate criticism based on what I've seen and heard so I suppose that's why many anime fans tend to be reserved or indifferent with detective anime, but I believe you should look no further than this one, give Ron Kamonohashi a chance, this one is bound to be good if not better and if you're even planning on reading the manga, that's also absolutely recommended as well
Overall so far, Ron Kamonohashi No Kindan Suiri starts off really great and solid and it has a refreshing take to a detective anime and I believe it does get better the more you watch, I do hope and encourage people discussing more about the series as this has a lot of potential to be something that people can equally enjoy if you're either here for some good mystery or for good laughs and chuckle.

Katekyou Hitman Reborn!
(Anime)

Despite having intriguing moments, great climatic shōnen battles, amazing cast of characters and quite the interesting plot, it's still a hidden gem and is definitely one of those anime that deserves way more attention (although the series is still popular in Japan to my knowledge but I digress).
One of my favorite aspects about the series is how the story takes it's time to flow, of course this does happen commonly in most anime in my past experience, most of them however often get to the point rather quickly, but with Reborn! it does take way too much time throughout the course of it's first ... |
