Review of Beautiful Bones -Sakurako's Investigation-

This is an anime that is simply trying to be itself. With that, I mean that the pacing, stories, whatever, just kind of happen. If you just think about it as 'things that happen in the life of not-quite-a-detective person' then it doesn't really matter. Don't watch it expecting nice coherent stories that all tie together. It is not. It is not quite a detective story, since this season only just introduces the overarching theme of detective-ness. Instead, it is Sakurako-san and the boy, who goes around and solves the mysteries of dead bodies and the motivations of the living alike, from the sinister to themundane. Some are stronger and more interesting than others, but they're all executed pretty well in theory, and the mystery-solving flows nicely and is decently grounded.

The characters are the strong point, I feel. The main duo have a unique sort of partnership going on. Like Sherlock and Watson, except she is less of an insufferable weirdo and merely eccentric with her own way of thinking, with the boy to counteract her childish traits. It is witty, convincing, and clever in its own little way. That is what makes this an enjoyable watch regardless
