I really wanted to like this show, I really did. There are a lot of problems here and things that make me uncomfortable. I give most shows decent scores even if it had a lot of problems but Sakurako is something else entirely. I guess i'll explain.

Characters 2:

There are only two characters that are important, or maybe it's only one character that is important at all. Anyways, the 'heroine' the show is named after, Sakurako Kujou, is an Osteologist, meaning she studies and collects bones. She is obsessed with finding corpses of animals and humans so that she can add their bones to her collection. She also has a knack for being right about everything with little to no evidence other than. explanations to come.

Male lead who we follow Shoutarou is in every single way an average high school kid who ends up tagging along with Sakurako everywhere she goes. He doesn't do anything helpful, he is typically there just to help Sakurako express what she is thinking in a conversation so that we, the audience, can understand what she is saying.

Plot 3:

There is no main plot going on in the show early on, it first starts off as the leads finding a corpse on the beach. Sakurako understands everything within 30 seconds of seeing the corpse, the police and everybody around her immediately believe her and take her words as fact. Unfortunately there is no connection between this case and the next, and the next, and the next. They are all random cases that don't connect at all, it's very episodic and Sakurako solves every problem with her expansive knowledge that she apparently inherits from studying bones.

We see the strings attempting to tie up all the mysteries, that happened before, near the last few episodes. Is somebody behind these murders? If so what is their reasoning for doing this? We will never know, because before the leads find any clues towards finding the antagonist the show ends abruptly without solving anything. Why did I watch this show that is going to leave on such a big cliff hanger, when it isn't a very good show in the first place. It's not like Shokugeki no Souma which was an extremely good show that left on a cliffhanger. This show wasn't all that great from start to finish.

Art 7:
Sound 7:

Enjoyment 3:

I didn't enjoy it, even though I planned on giving it a 6 or 7 if it finished strongly. Unfortunately that did no happen. I was willing to overlook that, while in custody, she was able to make a police officer stop the car and allow her to help with a case about a murder. She could tell you everything about a person's personal life just by looking at their bones. I didn't mind her being absurdly over intelligent for no real reason in attempts to enjoy this show but I didn't.

Overall 3:

If you can overlook plot holes and mary sue leads, then this is the perfect show for you.
