Think about it, most anime that you can think of right now maybe 4000 or so, how many of those are overwhelming anime? So many of them. What makes a good anime is I think not something that has been done a thousand times. And because most anime is overwhelming, that means the next following anime is going to be even more convoluted and overwhelming than the last. So I don't know what these others are currently thinking, maybe because they are just thinking that because they've thought they seen a lot of anime that must mean they know how to talk about certain anime; maybe that's why that they hate this anime so much because it's so not overwhelming. It's like you know there's some anime you've probably seen that have been so too built up, convoluted and overwhelming that it totally defeats the purpose of evaluating whether it's good or bad, even if it is, even so it's just so a pain to even watch, like the story setting taking place in the background of mars during the sunset while grasshoppers are somehow bouncing on the soil, or then there's a 10 episode log of character development for every single last character. It's like watching subbed anime even when you're unable to read the screen fast enough before they start talking something else. This anime is the opposite of that, even if you don't understand what it's all about, at least it's not a total pain to watch. It's straight forward, the detective is already dead and it's a mystery, a mystery doesn't even need any more than that.
Here's the deal here. If you like a mystery that's not going to pop right up in your face and say it's a real mystery, not like, so overdeveloped that it distracts what the mystery is supposed to be about, then you'll love watching this anime. It's not like every mystery that's a mystery is always meant to be solved in the end, no one even really likes a mystery, but the anime is a mystery that doesn't tell you that unless you figure it out from watching it, of course that's what makes a mystery a real mystery, nothing else matters, and of course, you don't need the evaluation of someone else's opinion to tell you that either, mysteries never solve themselves, that's what makes a good mystery a good mystery. A good mystery is one when because that it's a mystery and no one likes it, everyone thinks they're right in the end, because, it's a mystery.
I don't give a shit what the anime is about, whether it's like about werewolves, androids and aliens, it's what makes the main mystery about the anime all that much more interesting just because this is what the anime is about and yet it's still about an entire separate mystery. You know, I've watched some good anime that I didn't even care whether it was good or not, like taboo tattoo, "I mean, come on, it was one of the most awesome, badass, under overwhelming anime that I've seen too, like who is this no body whippy guy having to do with this awesome bad ass anime, the guy gets his powers from a tattoo he got from a hobo in an ally, what the heck was that supposed to be," however, it was still so good while I didn't have any understanding of why at all, I don't even feel like giving it a rating, because, I wouldn't even know what to rate it and I still don't even know, it was just an awesome most bad ass anime that you literally couldn't tell even whether it was so good or not unless by watching it and honestly that's all that I really needed.
I've honestly secretly wished someone thought of this anime. I knowingly acknowledge given everything that I've said thus far that mostly the anime I've seen out there is not even worth watching to me, I thought someone could have made an anime just like this and then someone did, finally someone understood something that I would have actually liked watching. I don't care really whether even if the anime I watch is over developed or overwhelming, I care just more about, not having to rewatch the same fu cking bullshit from an anime about the same thing all the fu cking time. Finally, someone thought about making an anime that doesn't pander catering to an audience just to be valued as a good anime. I'm surprised no one else thought about making this anime, once you hear me talking about it or watching it yourself you'll see what I mean.
Before I even discuss this anime, what I should do is discuss what those other reviewers have been saying.
I'm sure that those that disliked and reviewed this anime are looking at me right now like I don't know what I'm talking about because there's more of them than me. There always seems to be like a board of a dozen people that all think that all think that just because they think they've watched a lot of anime they know how to talk about what good anime is. Hey. You know what, I personally don't think that someone that talks shit about anime because they've watched a lot or whatever, should be making a review talking about how one mystery anime is such crap. Someone put a lot of thought into that anime. If you've really believed that you've watched enough anime to be able to talk about it, then you should know that what you get out of an anime isn't the same as what's been put right in front of you, like there could be an anime about, not letting you kids shoplift or something, and then what you get is an anime all about kids shoplifting, it happens. That's anime. When you combine a detective anime with its title being The Detective Is Already Dead, it should have been a dead giveaway. Who gives, a shit, about that it's about like werewolves, androids and aliens? A good anime, is something that hasn't been made a thousand or more times. Just watch the anime and be impressed. What you think of an anime doesn't mean shit to me, because even though some people might find this anime terrible, anyone could have told you whether an anime is good or not by just watching it. You don't need someone to tell you that just because you haven't seen much anime, movies, read books, that it doesn't take anyone to tell you whether something is what you like or not unless you watch it. Who the fu ck are you to talk shit about an anime just because you don't understand it? It's definitely an anime, and it's definitely a mystery about why you should watch it, now just because you've thought you've seen many anime you think you can talk shit about this one, just watch it. That's what's it there for. Like I was saying earlier, who gives a shit what it's about, because the only ones that like talking shit about this anime are just you. I've bet money it even that I myself even have watched more anime than all of you. I've watched so much anime that I'm practically all out of dubbed anime to watch right now. I don't normally watch subbed but I'm currently thinking about watching just to finish where dubbed left off.
I didn't start watching this anime just to find out that it was about werewolves, androids and aliens, or to find out what the mystery was supposed to be about, I watched it because I want to find out why I should want to know why the mystery to the mystery was a mystery, the only way I would have known was for me to watch the anime. I don't care whether the detective is just trying to sit on a dick or the sidekick guy is just a total loser, that's not why I started watching or why I had to keep watching to find that out. I had my moments when I thought the same almost like where's the mystery in this detective show, but still I know when I see an anime that I like watching and I don't even care whether it's good or not, seriously. It bothers me now that some people have been ragging so hard on this anime. I mind you that in addition, I've never even made a single review on an anime ever right now. I started watching this anime because like the title suggests, the detective is already dead, and I just want to find out why this total loser is working on solving mysteries with this lady genius detective, like that's all I care about, you can call this anime anything you want but that's the real mystery like a slice of life, psychological, fantasy, I don't even give a shit, I just want to watch it to find out what I've talked about, I mean the main character of the show isn't even there for half the show because like the title said she's already dead, the guy could be a nasa slash brain surgeon cab driver for all I care, so what I happen to think is that this anime delivered holding up to what it was meant to represent and symbolize, and if that's all I have to think just to be able to watch this anime, then I have no qualms with that, I need nothing else more than that unlike some people making reviews about it that are currently all probably thinking the same exact thing by readying this right now. Look, I don't give a shit, and I just happen to like this anime, there's nothing that any one of you could have said to me to have made me change my mind just about what I happen to call a good anime, that's the real point that I'm making right now. If you're going to talk about anime or something, look don't just keep talking shit about the things that you don't like like you're somehow doing a great service to the world right now, someone put thought into what you get to watch just to be able to give you that ability to think you must should always be taking shit about it, if you think that's, that, is a good best way to be watching anime, then now I really don't give a shit because you must have some really bad tastes in anime then, I don't know what else to say because I already hadn't any high hopes for anyone else being able to know what real good anime is.
So this anime has a legendary detective and she is really good at being a detective, the whole anime you're left wondering what else does she know that should you know that she could have told you from the beginning even at the end when she's already dead. You're going to be wondering what this girl was doing with this random loser, when she's gone, the only one to find that out was the dude so you get to see just how a legendary detective rubbed off on this sidekick. The first legendary detective dies but then she comes back as a different girl with that girl's heart, so if you're already wondering how this dude was relative to this legendary detective because he's the only one that worked with her, then you're going to love this other mystery about this new girl too allowing you to further see just how good the legendary detective was at being a detective, but never then through the whole anime could you have been able to find that out unless the flashback of the sidekick through half the anime were happening, then you're left just wondering that same mystery. I mean that you're literally left wondering that from beginning to end, because it starts out with the first legendary detective, then it goes to a new girl, then it goes back to the first one, then it goes back to the new one, not only are you wondering what happened to the detective girl but also just because the story picks up with she left off with the sidekick a sidekick that you've been trying to figure it out why she's even with this guy, that's just makes the mystery even more interesting, because she comes back as a different girl. What was this girl doing with this guy when she died and why did she die, that's the meaning of the mystery in this anime. The anime isn't about the dude, he's not the detective, she's the detective, the anime was never going to be about battling werewolves, android and aliens, it was the mystery, a mystery about where and when this girl died and what was she doing with this random loser guy? Not even that it's about how this dude is just a total loser random sidekick, I honestly couldn't care less how this guy is, but, he is really, that's not what gets me, the only one who can figure out what happened after this detective died was this random dude, so if if this is a mystery anime, it's not about how or not whether this guy is just a total loser random guy sidekick, it's about the girl who died because the name of the anime is the detective is already dead, that's the mystery and he's not really all that much help is he, I could just ignore everything else that this anime could be about, whether it's overwhelming or doesn't make sense, what doesn't make sense is what this girl is doing with this random dude and since you'll find out that she's a damn good detective you'll want to find out why this mystery was a mystery that's so interesting to you. Not other mystery anime are ever like this one, it's one of a kind, others aren't really even detective anime, even if it is, it's not it's more like it's about vampires, a little kid that solves crime or something totally bizarre that's just a mystery that's never even solved which happens to make it a mystery, no one else ever thought of an anime about the detective already being dead, like no matter what it's about, that's the real mystery. No one could have thought about making an anime mystery where the actual main bad guy slash girl that's a real monster really literally teams up with the detective and sidekick just to figure out they aren't good together before and not having that it is that is real mystery no one ever thought of before in a mystery anime, and rightfully so because that's not even what the anime is even about, it's a mystery. What's more, because of that as a matter of fact that makes the mystery a mystery worth solving in the end no matter what anyone else thinks even, because think about it, it wouldn't be a mystery that could be solved if the detective is actually dead but actually the girl comes back as a new girl detective and she picks up the tasks the other one left behind, so if it is a mystery worth finding out the one you have to keep watching is the sidekick through the anime and basically also just it's like, the detective is already dead. Like who cares who this guy is? The detective is already dead, this anime wouldn't work right if it is about anyone else this guy could have been, so it wouldn't have mattered whether it was good or not, the only one who needs to figure out the mystery is the dude, like whether it was even a mystery or not he's the only one that needs to find that out, and that's what makes it a mystery. And people should be capable of knowing that what makes a good anime good isn't always that it's supposed to be meant to be making any sense, that's not always what makes a good anime good all the time. Sometimes there's good anime even that doesn't make any sense no matter how good it is.
For a mystery, I'd say that this anime is perfect in balance between development of setting, characters and plot and just enough unrelatableness that makes it a mystery whoever is watching it and yet still provides an escape from normal living people to be interesting to watch. If you were looking for an anime that's not forcefully making you conceptualize, doesn't have to make much any sense and allows you to escape your mundane everyday life, then you've just found it.
