Alright, most of us are usually attracted to mysterious series and characters, patiently waiting for the full storyline to reveal itself blowing your mind away into the heights of the sky.. Akuma no Riddle totally gives
you this impression about it right from the first episode.


Story 7/10
The reason I gave it a 7? Because I was a little disappointed by how not-so-deep, compicated/not understandable this series turned out to be. It gives you that perfect impression at first but as the episodes continue you kind of find out it's a bit shallow, but it still has a good storyline, just not one that would blow you away, especially the ending which I found pretty lame, ruining the enjoyment you had most of the series. It was just a plain, normal ending, nothing as special as I predicted. They didn't solve the riddles either, that made me upset. :c

Art 9/10
I absolutely loved the art! It was very pleasant, I liked it ❤️

Sound 9/10
I almost always skip to the episode through most animes, but the opening was great to watch and listen to..

Character 7/10
Okayy.. I'm not a big fan of Yuri, but halfway through the series I almost forgot there was supposed to be some kind of love story between Haru and Tokaku. Seriously, if you're searching for a lovey-dovey story or characters then this isn't your type, you'll be disappointed. The rest of the characters are great, i didn't prefer them though. A 7 because there was some actual work to come up with their background stories, only for that, they weren't that creative, sadly. Character development isn't massive here either, except maybe a little for Haru and Tokaku. You don't even get to bond with the characters to feel them, the other assassins would've became a huge success if only the series wasn't just 12 episodes, if we had enough time to know them better.


Enjoyment 7/10
Honestly I got bored in the middle and wanted to quit the series, the episodes were repeating themselves just with a different assassin each episode. The art saved this series big time, and the sounds also, including the great voice acting.

Overall 7/10
It was a nice anime with a good plot and good characters, nothing more nothing less. I thought assassins were scary killing machines like Killua in Hunter x Hunter, but this series changed my mind.. The assassins were all helpless and proportionally weak for assassins, especially Tokaku.. It's great for passing time and being entertained, it's got amazing art and music, but if you're aiming for a deep plot, this wouldn't be your anime. c:
