This is my first review. I really love this series because I am a detective otaku. This anime is about a boy named Kyuu who got qualified to Q class along with Megu, a girl who has photographic memory, Ryu, a mysterious genius, Kazuma, a computer programmer, and Kinta, who has 4.0 eyesight and is a pro at martial art. Together, they solve murder cases that were considered difficult for police to solve.
Story: 7-
In each episode, it would show Q class solving a murder case and some of the cases are intriguing, but some are just kind of lame. Unlike the manga, there is no definite plot what so ever, we still don't know what happened to Ryu later on and the ending doesn't make any sense at all.
Art: 6-
I personally don't like the art in this anime, it looks very bad compare to the manga.

If you like mystery/detective stories, then this is definitely a show for you. Overall i gave this show an 8 even though the individual parts of the show rank lower,
its based primarily on my enjoyment level, and i enjoyed it so much i should have given it a 9,
however, this show does have some flaws, but for me, the 45 episodes went by so fast that only in retrospect did i notice them.
Without giving away too much,
the show is primarily episodic, with very few consistent plot points, the story sort of meanders around without so much of a strong central theme, but there is great characters and character development even if it is a bit forced.
In closing of my short review, I would have liked it to have continued, there is still many things that this show could have accomplished with a…

A vary generic detective anime series, this doesn't mean it's a bad series it just isn't in the same level as more prolific and popular series like Meitantei Conan.
The story has its highlights sometimes mainly when explaining the mysteries of the crimes.
But what gets down pretty fast the series is that is manly made of clichés and stereotypes and abuses of them making both the story and characters not believable enough and very predictable.
Taking into account this it means that there's only the character introduction and almost no development or evolution of them sticking to their stereotypes.
The only thing that keeps interesting the stories in each episode are the mystery solving itself, when they're well thought, because there are some cases where the crimes are so predictable that e…

Not bad :/ but not great :/
Definitely disappointing for fans of the manga like me. The manga was so strong in terms of character development and so does the live action played by Kamiki and Shida. Yet, the anime is so weak in mystery development and character development. Worst, the ending is awful and abrupt. The best of this anime is probably the good soundtrack.

Who would've thought Studio Pierrot would ever do something correctly?
Tantei Gakuen Q-- or Detective Academy Q, is a show about a boy with a talent for logic and reasoning. Wanting to become a detective after being saved by one during a kidnapping; our main character Kyuu finds out about the existence of the DDS, Dan Detective School, a school formed by the legendary detective Dan Morihiko. After meeting Megumi, a girl with photographic memory, the martial arts master Kinta, the geeky programmer Kazuma and the mysterious Ryuu, Kyuu and his friends join "Class Q" at DDS, and tackles many difficult crimes, always seeking the truth.
The story is very simple and not very thought out : a boy and his friends are always involved in some kind of crime they have to solve, and pretty much always…

Story:
The drama ''Tantei Gakuen Q'' is one of my favourites, and I watched it long before i decided to watch the anime. Since dramas follow (but always not too closely) the original manga/anime, i had expected to see some similar cases the characters faced in the drama, in the anime. I can't say that i am disappointed, when i discovered that it was true. All the cases are just as appalling, and even though i knew what is going to happen next (for some), i find myself hoping and waiting for whatsoever to happen.
Art:
The art is not my cup of tea, and because i usually look at the art before watching any anime, i was put off by it. It is okay when i watch it for a long period of time.
Sound:
When watching anime, i would not really notice the sound. The OP and ED themes are considerably go…

This crime anime may seem somewhat childish at first, but eventually a true appreciation for the intricate plots both episodically and arcing emerges along with a respect for each character. There are emotional angst-y parts nicely balanced with adorable comedy and character interactions. Fun to watch alone, but even more fun to watch with another friend or two to guess "who done it" for each mystery plot ; ) For an anime with murders as the most common crime there is very little bloody violence, so good for younger and older crowds.

The creativity of the creators of this anime probably ran dry towards the final episodes as quite a bit of the plot seems incomplete and no explanation is offered for some of the happenings. Since I haven't seen many detective/mystery based animes besides Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, this one could have been at one of the top slots but the hurried ( and some lame parts ) ending really did not give me the chance.
The mysteries were mostly good and on some cases absolutely brilliant. The drawbacks were the lack of character developement, the hurried ending, unexplained parts and the some of design of the characters . The white patch in Kyu's hair failed to impress and his Seiyuu was plain irritating with the overexcited tone at all times. Megu's shocking pink hair and the hairstyle was plai…

If you're a mystery maniac or just looking for an entertaining series to watch, you can't go wrong with this one. Although the age of the characters belies the depth of each case, its a good plot for anyone who once and still wishes to be like sherlock holmes, nancy drew, etc. Imagine a school that actually develops one's deduction skills at a very young age. The graphics could use a bit more improvement, but nevertheless the cases are varied -- ranging from light to crimes that leaves you feeling regret and pity for the characters involved. There are plenty of funny scenes, and suspense especially when the good detectives meets with the antagonists. The ending's a bit lacking, since there are no final results on the crime group that the detective school are fighting against, and there's n…

Tantei Gakuen Q is pretty much just another detective show with fairly interesting mysteries for all the detective addicts to get high on. Based on the manga by Seimaru Amagi and Fumiya Satou, Tantei Gakuen Q is about the young Kyuu, who is talented at deduction and reasoning. He eventually enrolls into the famed Dan Detective School, a specialist school that train students into detectives. He befriends a number of the other students in the school, each with their own specific talents. Together their group tackles a number of mysteries and crimes that occur.
Tantei Gakuen Q is episodic, with each episode mostly focusing on different crimes that occur around Kyuu and his friends. There are a number of multi-episode mysteries in the show, which in my opinion are much more interesting, witty…
