Watashi no Kirai na Tantei Episode 1

"They call me the 'Black Jack' of the detective world!"

Very excited about this one! The episode structure utilizes a classic detective story format, with plenty of good-natured jabs at popular examples of the genre (including Galileo). Our first mystery is decent, though part of a two-episode arc.

What really impressed me? How funny the drama actually is. Tamaki Hiroshi plays Ukai big and hammy, but it's perfectly suitable; his facial expressions and physical movements are priceless. Gouriki Ayame isn't my favorite actress, but paired with Tamaki...it's like watching a well-attuned comedy duo. Their bird bit made me audibly cackle.
