Magic Kaito 1412 is one of those animes that you can expect the outcome of each episode yet still enjoy it overall. If you're a fan of phantom thieves, detectives, or the anime Detective Conan, this spin-off series about Kaito Kid will entertain you.

STORY

The story is pretty much repeated throughout every episode: Kaito Kid steals the gem, only to find it's not the one he's looking for. It's pretty much the same throughout. Each antagonist that Kaito Kid encounters is unique, and each of them had their own motives. Of course, a few of villains return to the scene from time-to-time. And of course, Detective Conan makes an appearance every few episodes. Some things are still left a mystery, such as who runs the evil organization that killed Kaito's father. Despite the repetition, the story was pretty good. One last good point is that there weren't a lot of fillers.

ART

The art is in the same style as Detective Conan, and everything and everyone was well-drawn. The animation was good, as well.

SOUND

The music in the show was nice, and it fit the mood well. The opening songs were really nice, as were the endings.

CHARACTER

Okay, maybe the characters were a bit stereotypical, even predictable, but they were still pretty fun to watch. I didn't see a whole lot of character development, since all of the characters didn't seem to grow much. Each of the characters' personalities were unique yet stereotypical. Kaito is the typical proud, showoff goofball, but as Kaito Kid, he acts like gentleman, still retaining his pride. Inspector Nakamori is the stubborn, kinda stupid cop who's obsessed with catching Kaito Kid, but he gets a little smarter near the end. His daughter Aoko is the annoying girl who's always teasing Kaito. I could go on, but I won't.

ENJOYMENT

As fan of phantom thief animes, I really enjoyed this. It was fun seeing Kaito use his magic tricks to fool the police and steal those gems. However, it was a shame that Kaito never found the Pandora gem.

OVERALL

Overall, this was a really good anime, despite being extremely repetitive and predictable. Again, if you like phantom thieves, detectives, or Detective Conan, you will probably enjoy this anime. :)
