This show is a remake of what I would consider an anime classic and it is certainly done right. It contains all the elements a Kaito Kid and Detective Conan fan would be looking for.

The story is simple, but great. We follow Kaito on his misadventures in thievery and everyday life. It starts off a bit slow, but quickly picks up pace. Kaito's main goal in almost every episode is to steal some kind of jewel, but the story never gets boring. There is something about the Kaito Kid that is captivating and alluring. You'll never be bored and it's incredible to see how his ... magic tricks work.

The art plays off the more modern Detective Conan style with a bit more detail. It is visually very appealing though I do have to question the creators' choices on how they drew the characters' noses. The art is fantastic and anyone looking for a "nice" looking anime should be able to easily find one here.

The music is just as amazing as the rest of the anime. The soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment for a phantom thief. Kaito Kid's theme is a personal favorite, but the music really sets the mood for the entire anime.

Here comes the best part of everything, the characters, Gosho Aoyama's specialty in my opinion. Every character is different and has their own "something" that makes them special. They're very lovable and unforgettable. Kaito is a wonderful main character and Aoko is the perfect girl for him. There's the genius detective, Hakuba, and the mysterious witch, Akako. There's even multiple visits from everyone's favorite shrunken detective, Conan.

Overall, this anime is a gem. I highly recommend it to everyone. It doesn't appeal to a specific genre or audience. There's something in it for everyone to love. If you're hesitant, give it a chance. You won't regret it. This is my favorite anime of all time, next to Detective Conan of course.
