Maybe the best 26 episodes of thought provoking mental games in anime. Mind you the show is 37 episodes. Everything after 26 is bordering on waste of time.

Both the English dub and Japanese version are very well made and I believe this is a good intro anime for most.

Characters act a little unreasonably but with it being a crime action thriller

For it being a comedy anime and comedy being subjective I
