AniWorthLayton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File
Introduction
The Layton Detective Agency, a business that helps its clients solve unusual mysteries, is run by Katrielle Layton—daughter of the world-renowned archaeology professor Hershel Layton. Together with her assistant Noah Montoir and talking dog Sherl, Katrielle finds herself unraveling cases involving a newly purchased cursed house, a dress imbued with a "demon's curse," and the zombie of a client's deceased spouse, just to name a few.
Aside from her more quirky cases, Katrielle has been working on another unsolved problem: the disappearance of her father. Founding the agency was only the first step in her attempt to uncover the truth behind his vanishing. As she continues to take on client after client, each with wackier and stranger issues to tackle, Katrielle steadily closes in on the answer to the biggest mystery of her life.

If this anime does anything right, it's that it gives people absolutely no reason to ever play the game it's based on. Not only does it actually answer the biggest question the game left hanging (and the only question fans actually wanted to see answered), but it also fleshes out the original game's adapted storyline. It's kind of crazy how much more depth and complexity it adds to their versions of the game's cases, considering they're about 40 minutes shorter than their originals.
And...that's about it.
For what it's worth, Hershel Layton becoming a father feels like a very natural next step for his character, and seeing his daughter become a detective seems like an amazing concept, but then they just do so...little with it.
They propose this grand, overarching mystery about The Profe…

I went into the anime not expecting a lot, it is Katrielle after all... but was positively surprised by the anime original content. (The game cases are shit) The cases still don't flash out the characters and at the end Katrielle and crew are still as flat of characters as at the beginning.
I primarily watched it for the Professor Layton content and if you don't wanna watch the whole 50 episodes tune into the 6 with Layton in them. The story is amazing, the villain is so Layton coded and much better than anything Katrielle could ever offer us.
Sadly Katrielle takes a lot of screen time in the last two episodes (I know it makes sense it is her show but still) and literally pulls a "Friendship makes us strong" (I cringed so hard).
Overall the anime is a big improvement over the game, but…

As somebody who grew up with Curious Village as well as continued with all other 5 subsequent Professor Layton titles and the movie, this was a blast! There's a lot of average stuff in here but I definitely recommend watching the cases adapted from the game as well as the Relic's Treasure mini series which is related to the most recognizable characters in the series. Definitely a ton of interesting mysteries are featured and the art style is pretty good too. I think any fan of the Professor Layton franchise will enjoy watching this, especially the Relic's Treasure subseries within the story.

As a child I played through all of the Professor Layton games and as you can imagine my overall reaction to finding this series would be the same as any returning Layton fan.
Personally i believe this series does more than justice to the charm and delight of the Layton games.
The art remains the same, keeping the beautiful hand-drawn effect and the soundtrack keeps the same essence as the old but with touches of new aspects, enough to keep the ost from sounding boring and a staright rip from the games.
The plot similar to the Layton games themselves doesnt focus on a in-depth story, in in my opinion the development of the characters is something much more interesting than the plot itself.
For an anime based solely around the daughter of a detective Layton Mystery Tanteisha doesn't revo…

As someone that has closely followed the Layton games for several years, the idea of a Layton anime series excited me. Though, I was a bit skeptical about watching it at first because I was mixed about 3DS Katrielle Layton game and its lack of proper closure to the main story. I watched and closely followed the series in the second half of 2018. The Katrielle Layton anime slowly became a source of happiness as I binged more of the episodes, eventually following the series week-by-week. This review is written from the perspective of a Layton fan, so some of the things I say might confuse you a bit.
Layton Mystery Detective Agency definitely was a fun anime throughout its whole run. The anime is basically an episodic mystery anime throughout its run, with occasionally focusing on the bigger…
