First of all, it's best not to take Kabukichou Sherlock too seriously. Comedy steals the show most of the time, while it has its share of secrets. About halfway through the series, you'll have to be patient and just struggle a little to see why it can turn out to be a wonderful mystery and even give you shivers with how it connects the dots. Although I couldn't guarantee it would be worthwhile, the twist is undoubtedly worth it.
Kabukichou Sherlock's original plan was to provide a cast of characters that would resemble the Arthur Conan Doyle series, but with a twist. Naturally, the primary character is the Japanese Sherlock Holmes, who adores rakugou and is prepared to sniff, lick, or use any other tactic to crack the case. In addition, John Watson, his physician partner, is shown to be weaker and more sensitive. James Moriarty, the gang's mastermind but now an amiable and youthful ally, is following. The colorful Mrs. Hudson, who runs Detective's Row House, Mycroft Holmes, who works for the government, and Irene Adler, the only woman who can outsmart Sherlock, make up the supporting cast.
Rich would be the best term to describe Kabukichou Sherlock.
It has a lot of color. Production I. G. (Vinland Saga, Haikyuu!!, AoT..) did a fantastic job crafting the beginning and conclusion, which made full use of the color palattes to highlight the differences between each investigator and presented the stories in an incredibly captivating manner as pictures and recollections. The neon lights of the stores and nightclubs, combined with the nighttime artwork in the Red Light District, accentuate the area's vibe of vibrancy and possibility for anything.
It has a lot of characters. In addition to the well-known characters from the Sherlock Holmes series, new investigators with distinct approaches to solving mysteries are also presented. We have two sisters who stand in for a good and terrible police officer, an upright man wearing spectacles, a kind-hearted former yakuza member, and a gambler who just wants to get the bonus. They are among the characters that add humorous relief and a stronger sense of connection to the main casts, and they have respectable development.
Its songwriting is equally rich. The rhythmic beat of EGO-WRAPPIN's "CAPTURE" is funky and energizing. It's one of those infrequent openings that, as you will discover later, genuinely contains the entire plot. Both of the ending songs are passable; the first, "ED," by Hyakuoku Kounen, features characters who are actually staring into the universe with deep, resonant vocals. Parade, the second ED, is terrifying on an emotional and physical level. They fit both arcs perfectly.
All things considered, neither Kabukichou Sherlock nor its Enigma are particularly noteworthy in anime. However, one couldn't help but stick around till the very end because of how each character shines in their own unique way and how the unimportant cases relate to a major revelation. To follow Sherlock Holmes's ascent and decline alongside the other eccentric investigators. Even while it all seems chaotic, it could make you feel warm within.
