Impressions:
When I saw the PV for this, I thought it might be fun and I'm happy to say that it managed to exceed my expectations. If you like quirky detective stories, this will be a lot of fun. Fans of Gintama will probably get an especial kick out of it because of its similar comedic sensibilities. Older viewers might roll their eyes a bit at the decrepit Nagumo being the ancient, ancient age of *gasp* 35, but I guess anime years are similar to dog years. Speaking of Nagumo, Junichi Suwabe does a fine job in the role, but the real highlight is Kana Hanazawa as Mashiro, who seems to be having quite the blast playing the character (and her singing the ED is a lot of fun). If you're looking for a good time, look no further. If it tickles your funny bone as much as it did mine, you'll want this in your collection.
