Rinšó hanzai gakuša Himura Hideo no suiri

I liked the relationship Arisu and Himura had with each other. They were understanding of each other and always there for each other. So it's not surprising that their close friendship was used to imply that the two of them could pull off all sorts of things together. Within limits and humor, of course. I enjoyed the series a lot in the beginning, it even had a fairly original take on crime scene reconstruction, but I wasn't so into it towards the end, as I became more and more focused on Shangri-La and its representative. It lacked the momentum that the series had before. Another plus is the fact that the police weren't just seen as someone who arrests criminals that Himura points out. Yes, they relied a lot on his abilities, but it was never that they acted without thinking it over. I liked everyone in the series, I just didn't like Hasegawa Kyōko very much. Otherwise, fine. An unpretentious detective series with a cult on top. A better 3 stars. (02.04.2016)
