Gallery Fake is a a perfect example of the seinen genre. It is sophisticated, realistic, and logical . . . and yes, it does have its light hearted moments. Each episode features a "mystery of the week" but what sets it apart and makes it so intriguing for me is an amazingly accurate look at the intricate workings of the art world. I have a deep love of Art History and this series touches on one great master in many episodes. It also explores other things that are art as well; things like antique watches, photo-journalism, and Pre-Columbian civilization and artifacts.It is very much like the live BBC series Lovejoy, a long running story about a brilliant but slightly shady antiques dealer.

It is not surprising that because the series is about art, the look of the anime itself is top notch and I love the sound track, especially the opening song. Awesome, upbeat jazz with a vintage feel.

If you are looking for something different, give this one a try.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer and give it an overall it gets a 10.
