Review of Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions
Is a series about this pair isshiki totomaru and kamonohashi ron who goes resolving different murder cases along the series with the last one doing most of the work and leaving totomaru as a comedy relief and like a counterpart persona wise to balance the chemistry between these two. With a format of being episodic most of the cases are solved on a single episode (leaving some exceptions to the rule) , most of them are kinda mediocre because the actual solving part and the whole thing revolving about the case just happen on the last 10 minutes being the first half just pure comedy makingthis series as a whole 50% mistery and 50% pure comedy, that together with just trying to encompass everything on mere 20 minutes makes for simple and rather forgetabble episodes.
As you are moving forward the series also tries to shed some light and delve on the past of our protagonist kamonohashi ron which you could say start building up the main (and to me the most interesting) plot of it, there are little "good" cases like the observatory one which worth the redundancy last more than just 1 episode and also serves as starting point to what is gonna be the main story.
Tries to add more interest also with the addition of some more fictional elements like the supernatural power of kamonohashi ron though doesnt make up for pretty flat characters that just mentioning our protagonists neither of them are to say more than just some steryotype even going so far to say that from these two totomaru is the worst not even a single substantial change or development since the first to the last episode is just there like a filler.
The thing kinda at the end introduce something related to sherlock holmes and moriarty on his own way and interpretation which leaves you with a hook for what it coming.
Sounds wise nothing really to mention, op and end are decent enough, animation is fine on these aspects i cannot complain really.
I would decribe it like a very light series character and story wise that might work well as accompaniment/sidedish if you are watching something more heavy and that requires more thinking and attention, is fine and entertaining for some moments but is very far from been an staple for any of the generes that is trying to be.
