There are a lot, and I mean a lot of entries in the Monster Strike animation catalogue for what basically serve as extended advertisements to a mobile game. Needless to say I was pretty knee deep in spin-offs and side series when I watched this and it being so isolated from anything that came before or after it's no wonder that I barely even remembered watching it. Really, I'm going down the list of anime I've completed to do reviews on and when I got to this I genuinely couldn't remember what it was about or even watching it in the first place. So that'sthe kind of show we're dealing with.

I skimmed the episode again just to make sure I could give a somewhat coherent review of it. The story takes place firmly in the world where all the monsters of Monster Strike come from, magic and fairies and all that. We get a setup about a missing persons case and a detective who's on the job with his trusty fairy side kick and full on magical girl transformation sequence into a ninja Sherlock Holmes mode. If all of this sounds super whacky and memorable I'd refer you to the opening paragraph. Something about the characters, the setting and the fact that this is a one off story really just does not leave a lasting impression. I literally just watched it again and I'm already forgetting details.

So yeah, forgettable made-to-sell-toys kids show trash. 6/10
