I feel like the creator had a good idea about the main characters, their origins, motivations, etc and then by accident, while writing notes, the TV turned on. What was playing? Those Sherlock Holmes films with RDJ and Jude Law. "Oh wow these parts where he explains the crimes are so interesting! Perfect, that's exactly what my cool idea needs!" Unfortunately, the creator was hit in the head with a brick at some point so all the creativity expended on the characters was totally lost when it came to pacing. Now clinically braindead, the creator to decided to stretch the part he was writing into six or seven episodes because he couldn't think of anything interesting thanks to the event where he was hit in the head with a brick.

I guess an equally brain damaged executive recognized his intellectually-deficient counterpart through an invisible radar system and knew that this horribly fucking dull series must be adapted into anime at once. Hence, this series.

I've seen plenty of anime (and for that matter TV, films, video games, and even music) where a good idea is pulled so thin that it's a blessing from the filament god it even sticks together, but Kyokou Suiri is the most egregiously offensive I've personally experienced. I was so excited in the first couple episodes, then it just...kept going. And going. And going. Around episode ten I realized this particular scenario was it. As in, episodes 7-12 all take place in the same sequence of events, and it jussst keeeeeeps gooooing.

Skip at all costs unless you want something to help you recover from the fact you've recently been hit in the head with a brick.
