Magical beast called Kemono exist and they live in the background of the modern world. Protagonist Kabane is adopted into a Kemono detective agency.
The concept isn't anything groundbreaking. Creatures from Japanese mythology exist and they each come with their own powers and affinities. It's very much a soft magic system.
Production value is good. The horror elements are my favourite parts. Some of them are genuinely spooky.
Select characters are very interesting - I personally really like Kabane and Akira. Others, however, are little more than tropes. Lots of hammy monologuing villains and tsundere rivals. Character motivations are very tell don't show, and lots of dialogue sounds straight out of a kids cartoon.
An overarching storyline is non-existent and the beat-to-beat plot barely makes sense at times. I'm on episode 6, and a non-human hits something without much force and then starts bleeding profusely. It's starting to get unbearable.
