Absurbio
Even though this review is weirdly written this is still my full on opinion on this anime.
ALSO MINOR SPOILER ALERT PROBABLY.
This anime has a goat as a main villain and a dog as a main character. That is all I have to say but I have to write more for it to be a good review. Right? So what makes this anime so special, it is the jokes the slapstick comedy. The occasional fourth wall break and just the goofiness of serious situations. The anime knows how to capitalize on ones humour, if you don’t know how to laugh I swear this anime will teach you at least how to smile. It is so weird over the top that the strongest character in this anime is a little baby. She has the power of creation, I am sure that when she grows up she can become a god of this anime world. She has the power of buildi…

The goat man was the real hero.
This anime wore it's silliness on it's sleeve and reveled in not taking itself seriously in the slightest. Honestly it was kind of refreshing when so many of the show I had been watching were all such slogs of overly dramatic stories that could have benefited from a bit of levity. Most of the characters were a little flamboyant, which is a nice way of say very gay without calling it out directly. I'm not judging, but let's not beat around the bush about it. Honestly the trap is one of the more hetero characters.
The power system was a little vague, I'm not sure if they were supposed to be werewolves or if they were supernaturals dogs or something, I don't know it didn't seem all that important. As mentioned above I think the goat was the GOAT of this show,…

This anime might look very serious, at first I though it was a mystery anime because of the detective thing. But no, you're totally wrong if you think that.
This is a really silly anime, but that's not a bad thing if you're looking for comedy. I guarantee you that you're gonna laugh a lot, or at least smile, for sure.
Story: Now, the story is really stupid. It's pretty much the protagonist needs to stop the evil guy... Oh wait, it's a goat. A goat that eats money (no, really, literally eats money) is so evil you have to do something about it.
But that's ok, it's a comedy anime after all, it doesn't need a good story.
Art: I don't know, but I love the art so much. It's not like the best I've seen but I think the characters look fantastic, they're simple but have something special that m…

8.1/10
It was a very enjoyable anime. I was curious about it after watching an AMV.
There isn't much story, it's more of a "bits-and-pieces", "daily lives" kind of story. However, the one entire story is where a goat is the villain and steals money just to eat it, and there is a wolf detective who can derive information from hair. (It might sound really bad, but it's pretty good) Does an anime have to make sense to be great? I would say it was a pretty good and funny story because even though it was more of a Slice of Life anime, it added good comedy when applicable. The story is meant for comedy, so it gives us a good laugh while maintaining action between detectives and the villain.
The art of the characters was very appealing. Inaba Hiroshi is very handsome, the other main detective s…

This is what it looks like when Grell Sutcliff ever gets an anime to himself. From the looks of the cover it seriously looks like an anime which you should avoid(because of the goat)- but don't judge the cover because you'll be loosing a good gem to your anime list.
This story follows the Cuticle Detective: Hiroshi Inaba who is a artificial cloned Doberman that works for the police and a new threat arises when the goat: Don Valentino (master of a Mafia organization) makes his début in Japan.
Story: So to say this story was fast paced and the only genres that it satisfied was comedy and action i suppose. The story wasn't serious, even though it's categorized as a mystery there's only one mystery to the whole plot and it was given through within this 13 episodes but nevertheless i wasn't…

Does an anime have to make sense to be good? Or even have a general direction to be appreciated? And how far can a show really go through just plain humor and gags? Well, pretty far if you consider this gem of a show which neither did get the attention it deserves nor did it fool itself with that notion. Rather the creator and the artists just tried to give enjoyment to the select few viewers it is likely to get and achieved even a certain level of perfection in their approach. And having a cool villain or rather a cool mafia goat (not joking really) villain is a huge boost to this awesome attempt at insane comedy.
The plot-line is absolutely ridiculous in a good way, it follows a werewolf detective Hiroshi Inaba in his attempts to catch the goat mafia Don Valentino through solving some r…

Just when I thought I'd plumbed the depths of anime ridiculousness...ridiculosity?...crazily absurd yet awesome farcicality?...someone recommends Cuticle Detective. It's questionable. Wildly outlandish. Hopelessly weird. I loved it.
What's with people re-imagining children's stories these days, anyway? Granted, CD Inaba isn't as recent as the various fairy tale movies that just came out, like Snow White and the Huntress or even the latest Alice in Wonderland, but I just found CD Inaba a couple of months ago and they all seemed to be rolling together.
Though I have to admit, no one in Hollywood would ever twist nursery stories the way that Mochi did with The Wolf and Seven Kids to come up with CD Inaba. It works though, in a ludicrously wacky kind of way. It's like they took a pancake, fl…

It makes absolutely no sense, which is exactly why it is so awesome.
A detective with a hair fetish? Such a premise alone already hints that this anime makes no sense.
Kei has just been hired at a job called Cuticle Tantei, the cuticle detective, owned by Inaba and his cross dressing assistant Yuuta, who has a major obsession with Inaba to the point where you forget he is a guy. Inaba has been genetically altered to be part wolf part human, and all types of weird. He quit the police force and started his own detective agency, his ability is to go into different types of wolf form based on the hair he eats. His enemy? Don Valentino. a goat. Ikr...I waited for the punch line, but it doesn't exist. Don is a goat, and a criminal mastermind with a taste for yen notes. Inaba tries to "catch"…

I started watching Tantei Inaba by accident, I mean, don't usually watch comedy animes, I watch some animes that happen to contain some comedy within the story, so I was pleasantly surprised when I begun to watch Cuticle Tantei Inaba(CTI).
It's a great anime that will make you laugh with all the extreme mood swings you see in almost all episodes.
Story: Okay, let's be honest, "CTI" has no story per se. You have Don Valentino, head of some crazy mafia family and he steals money so... he can eat it. And Inaba and his crew try to arrest him -this isn't even spoiling, as Ahm... it's basically the base of the entire anime. there's no development, no emocional awakening or soothing like that.
It's a Gag anime, you'll watch it for the laughs not for the story. So I'll give it an 8, because some…

Definitely a comedy anime~
Story 7/10
There are no solid story line whatsoever accept catching the goat, but it is really funny
Art 9/10
The art is nice as I like how they switch in between chibi and anime mode, when things get serious then funny, they change really really fast lol
Sound 8/10
The osts are not much of a big deal, the op is so-so and the ending song is.... a little weird
Character 7/10
There isn't any much character development, and the side chars are just there, not much background etc. But all of them are lovable, and you don't really dislike any of them. their enemies, don valentino are quite stupid though
Enjoyment 8/10
A few laughs definitely, it is an anime that will make you laugh and forgot that it's just an animation. But some might think that their gags were too f…

My favorite type of Japanese comedy!
Story-7
---------------
Not much but enough to pull you in and give you at least some reason as to why people are doing the things that they are. It's very light on story(or should i say "good story") and heavy on the comedy.
Art-8
-------------
The art is actually very enjoyable to me. The first thing I thought when I saw Don Valentino was of my favorite comedy ever Yondemasu Yo, Azazel-San! And I'm sure everyone else who had watched Yondemasu yo felt the same way. Anyways, I love the art style and the cute animals(haha). Sound-7
----------------
Good opening, Great ending, and good voice actors, especially for Don Valentino. Enough said.
Character-7
----------------
Everyone is somewhat one-dimensional but that's just fine for this type of show.

I don't like "gag anime." It's not that I don't have a sense of humor; I just don't have it for today's so-called comedy. People curse too much and think they're "funny." People hurt each other and it's called "slapstick comedy."
But Psycho-Pass is too serious and Inferno Cop is ripping off Marvel's Ghost Rider.
Detective Inaba is the type of comedy that takes no prisoners. A GOAT is the main baddie and nearly everyone is too slow to catch him. Said goat and his henchmen are also slow in certain ways and everybody ends up sabotaging each other.
However. The jokes are not heavily "Japanese jokes;" they're ease to translate and are pretty good for a couple of guffaws. There are even times when the people behind it forget that this animu is mainly "cops versus robbers"... And then it REMEM…

If you're looking for a nonsense anime, here's your place.
Cuticle Tantei Inaba at first may looks like a ridiculous comedy, but there's a lot of action in there too, as the anime goes on. Ok, there's still the funny stuff, but the background of Hiroshi's life and family starts to get revealed and you may find the seriousness in some episodes awkward, but later all the chibi gags will be back. And it's exactly the balanceament of both styles that made the anime really nice to watch.
Just as I said above, the story is completely made of nonsense. The idea is so crazy that it looks amazing, but it also could go very wrong. Inaba went by the right way, thankfully. I mean, when would I think that I'd be liking so much a anime about a werewolf detective fighting against a mafia goat?

It's a good anime with action moments.
Comedy from time to time.
The character I like is Inaba. Inaba is weird and funny, like Eita on Oreshura.
