One of the better ones in this genre. Main characters written very well, there's a lot of mystery with both people in the story and the cases mc's solve. Must see for every fan of this genre and I can confidently recommend it to everyone else as well.
And I probably will have to start writing Troyca animation begging for season 2, because he cliffhanger is just that intriguing

main cast
Kujou Sakurako is a beautiful and talented osteologist, or bone specialist, whose life is centered around bones only. Sakurako has little tolerance for illogical behavior and a lot of trouble understanding other people; she would be isolated in her study full of skeletons if not for her assistant, high school boy Tatewaki Shoutarou, who does his best to drag her out and make her interact with others. And yet, whenever they go out, the dead seem to be around the corner, because the two of them often stumble upon human skeletons or corpses.

Mediocre mysteries but gripping character dynamics, really enjoyed this one.
The cinematography was also outstanding. The bright, vibrant, colorful visuals contrast the pervasive, dark theme of death in a striking way, while the sedate atmosphere created by the confident, deliberate direction and the calm soundscape provide ample breathing room for everything to come together naturally.
Second season, please.

Im usually not a fan of detective animes but this one I enjoyed a lot. The characters are great with a lot of depth to them. While theres numeral cases over the course of the 12 episodes there is also a main story line which is left unsolved but that shouldnt let you stop from watching this because this crime anime at its finest.

Its typical murder of the week mystery series. with overlaying story arc of pure innocent relationship between a rich women with analytical mind and her school boy sidekick. and how they became the crime solving duo.
The mystery parts are not that complex, but the emotions that it elicits from audience are great.

Lucky! Another title in a row that I really enjoyed. Very nice detective anime with wise main characters. A little stiff & gloomy atmosphere, but it only makes you want more. I would add a small dose of romance, but it's only probably because of my own personal taste (the whole series is more like brother-sister relations...). It was still good, solid watch.

Mystery wise, this is pretty poor. The first couple of cases were borderline interesting, but the rest weren't even as good as Conan filler episodes.
However, the story of the two characters is pretty addictive, as the young, naive and befuddled youngster tries to figure out his relationship with the socially inept and awkward 'older' detective lady.
In this regard it's short but sweet, and worth the watch. Can't say I'd be wanting a second series though.

A detective. Each 1-2 episodes is a new case/story. Has some beautiful scenes despite being slightly disturbing. Leaves impression and widens horizons due to unusual used theme - bones, death, and sometimes life.

What made this an enjoyable watch was the dynamic of the two main characters while solving different types of cases. Sakurako (main female) was intelligent, eccentric, and direct without a filter and Shoutarou (main male) was ambitious and naive... individually I would've got fed up with the character, but together it was a good combination. I'm looking forward to the sequel as a case remained unsolved.

female, , black hairThe character has black hair., cleverA clever or smart person is generally understood as having broad knowledge and the sharpness of mind required to put that knowledge to good use, especially when applying rational thought to long-reaching decisions, with the broad knowledge leaning more on the smart side and the sharp mind on the clever side. Unlike a genius, the clever person may be skilled, but only mundanely so, and in contrast to a cunning person, a clever person is not characterized by being sly or apt at surreptitiousness., humanModern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae.

Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., moleA mole, also called beauty mark, beauty spot, beauty patch, and sometimes birthmark, is a type of visible, circumscribed, chronic lesion of the skin or mucosa that may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired. Such marks are sometimes considered an attractive feature, hence the beauty-related names, and they are medically known as nevus (plural: nevi), from naevus, Latin for "birthmark". They are not to be confused with the animals commonly called moles., passionatePassionate or sometimes hot-blooded describes people having, compelled by, or ruled by intense emotion or strong feeling. They give their all in absolutely everything they do, regardless of the task. Using the power of hard work and guts as well as their determination, they throw themselves headfirst into the worst situations imaginable and come out on top through sheer force of will, and often have a strong tendency to go beyond the impossible.
