Japan's take on Sherlock Holmes. In both anime there are many crimes that must be solved by Sherlock (the MC in Kabukichou) while he tries to catch the mastermind Moriarty (MC in Yuukoku). Both are pretty good, though Kabukichou has more comedy while Yuukoku is more serious. Kabukichou takes place in modern Japan while Yuukoku takes place in industrial England.
- Both produced by Production I.G.
- Both aired in 2020 (Fall 2019-Winter 2020 vs. Fall 2020)
- Both involve the Sherlock Mythos (including the characters of Sherlock, John Watson, Moriarty, Mrs. Hudson, Mycroft Holmes, Irene Adeler, Jack the Ripper, Baker Street Irregulars, Inspector Lestrade, Moran)
-Both adapt "Scandal in Bohemia"
- Both have a "gimmick" to set it apart from other Sherlock adaptations (one sets it in Modern day Kabukichou, the other sets it to Moriarty's perspective)
