The story follows Kimihiko Kimitsuka, a young man who is practically haunted by accidents and misfortune and keeps getting involved in crimes. Three years ago, Kimitsuka became an assistant to a mysterious detective named "Siesta" on a hijacked plane. Together, Kimihiko and Siesta had crazy, globe-trotting adventures and fought against a secret organization. However, all that came to an end when they were separated by Siesta's death. Back in the present, Kimihiko tries to return to an ordinary, boring life as a high school student, but things are never that simple, even if the detective is already dead.
As someone who hasn't read the light novel, I was very excited when I first saw the trailer and I was really looking forward to watching it and the first episode truly did not disappoint. The great start in the hijacked plane and the beautiful animation captivated me. Even though the second half of the 50 minute first episode was rather boring in comparison, I was still excited to see the next episodes... But then I was disappointed.
Even the second episode was acceptable with Natsunagi on stage but from that point forward the story went down the drain.
It wasn't disappointing because it didn't meet my expectations, but because the story just didn't even stay consistent once. When you get right down to it, you could apply just about any genre there is to this anime. We have Mystery, Harem, Romance, Mecha, Comedy, Supernatural, Slice of Life, Drama and some more.
It starts off with Mystery, then new girls are introduced who all join Kimitsuka's harem and fawn over him. Then there's some more mystery with some slice of life and comedy and in between they throw in a beach episode.
Most of the episodes just go by with dialogue between a few characters without anything really happening either.
The sound was okay for the most part. I sometimes had the feeling that the played OST's didn't really fit the scene and were sometimes played too long or too short, at least that was my impression.
From what I've been told so far, the light novel is a lot better and the anime adaptation doesn't compare to it in the slightest and I may give this one a read as the actual premise of the show isn't bad.
Towards the end, I didn't quit this anime just because of Siesta.
