This anime suffers from the most common problem of almost all "genius" animes. The supposed geniuses are actually super stupid. The only time you aren't 10 steps ahead of every character is when the story deliberately hides critical information from the viewer. I like to think I'm pretty smart, I probably am too arrogant for my own good - thinking I'm smarter than I actually am... BUT, I certainly don't think I'm like one of the hundred or even 10 thousand smartest people on earth. The main char is supposed to be 1 in 100million. Think of that mathematically... that's 10 per billion - lets be generous and call that top 1/100 on earth. Everyone he is associated with is supposed to be the top 1/100,000 on earth AT MINIMUM. Somehow, I'm way smarter than all of them! Stupid people shouldn't write stories about how they perceive brilliant people to be. The entire story is predicated on one certain kind of intelligence trumping all other types, yet the characters aren't even smart enough to use this one "ultimate form of intelligence which is more valuable than all other types of intelligence combined" in any actually brilliant or surprising ways. This show is basically the story of a dumber, less interesting, sherlock holmes in high-school and without any actual end-goal.
