| Topic | Robazoid Ranks 275 Anime and Top 100 Anime Characters (recommend me stuff too) |
| Robazoid 08/09/22 1:17:59 PM #127: | 236. Holmes of Kyoto https://myanimelist.net/anime/37458/Kyoto_Teramachi_Sanjou_no_Holmes Summer 2018 (12 episodes) My Score: 2/10, MAL Score: 6.74/10 Best Character: Mashiro Aoi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NRgIqcbkS8 Premise: Mashiro Aoi gets a job working for Yagashira Kiyotaka, a man famous for his ability to spot forgeries. Together they solve mysteries related to antiques. The Good: Aoi was fine. The Bad: Every mystery in Holmes of Kyoto sucked. None of them had any real stakes, I mean one was about how a display at a flower arrangement show wasnt very good. The climax of this riveting mystery is that a girl was copying someone elses work, but guilt drove her to submit one of her own flower arrangements too. Somehow, at a show dedicated to judging these, it takes unrivaled genius Kiyotaka to spot how crappy hers is. Eventually they start having showdowns with a laughable take on Moriarty, but the animation isnt good enough for the viewer to have any hope of spotting the clues and figuring something out for themselves. Without that, its just watching two guys sitting in a room arguing about forgeries. Overall: Holmes of Kyoto sold itself on two things, mysteries about antiques and the chemistry between its lead characters. Since that chemistry goes nowhere and the antique mysteries are all boring, theres little reason to watch this anime at all. --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ... Copied to Clipboard! |
