[QUOTE="Dai, post: 594160, member: 9636"] I wanted to like this show, since I enjoy a lot of KyoAni's series and could see that it was really well made, but I've watched half a dozen episodes and just can't get into it. It's too easy to guess the solution to a lot of the mysteries, and they feel overworked for how banal the answers end up being. For example, the absolute orgy of evidence that they needed to figure out that [SPOILER]someone was smoking at school[/SPOILER], and the deathly serious tone for mysteries that have nothing at stake, just isn't working for me. If it was lighter and more comedic, or if finding the solutions to the mysteries had some reason to matter, then I'd probably enjoy it more. For that reason, I thought the best episode out of the ones I've seen was the one that focused on the main girl's uncle, since that mystery had been bothering her for years and the related incident had a real impact on the uncle's life. Do some actual stakes develop later on, or does it remain at the level of [SPOILER]"oh, it was just a yukata hanging in the window"[/SPOILER] throughout? [/QUOTE]
