The blessed airplane scene is pure illusion.
This sentence perfectly summarizes the feeling after watching Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru. The anime practically sells itself on that specific moment, and in fact, it's a sequence that grabs attention, creates mystery, has good direction, and manages to hook the viewer right away. That's exactly what made me give it a chance, along with the recommendation from Intoxi Anime.
The problem is that this scene works almost like false advertising. It establishes an expectation of an engaging investigative anime, with charismatic characters and a well-structured plot. However, after this promising start, the work begins to lose strength gradually and steadily.
In technical terms, the animation is competent, but uneven. Most of the time, it's just "okay"…

After a year of sitting at episode 6, I finally finished this show. There's a reason it took so long. It ain't good. Horrible dialogue, horrible characters (even Siesta), and some of the worst pacing I've seen in an anime. The only saving grace could possibly be the art not looking horrible, and music that is passable at best.
If you're thinking of starting this anime because the premise sounds cool, don't bother. The plot is so all over the place, the main gimmick of the show (the detective already being dead) just doesn't work well. Lots of the show is way too dragged on to the point of nauseum. Aspects that don't even matter all too much either.
All in all, Would not recommend. Don't fall for the trap a lot of us fell into. Escape while you still can.

The worst part of this anime is that it could have been good. Besides the first episode, the show feels like random clips from the second or even third season of a show. Plot threads are shown in flashbacks but instead of resolving them, they just create more plot threads that they don't do anything with. I never read the source material for Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru... but I can't imagine how this was all supposed to work.
The anime withholds 90% of the story from you and assures you that stuff was super cool. And then the plot twist only makes sense if the MC is a moron, but he is shown to be intelligent even if not as smart as the improbably Sherlockian titular character.
This could have been a fun show if they had presented things in a better way than completely at random.

This show is so bad and so terrible, that it is literally my favorite anime now. 10/10. There is truly nothing in this world better than The Detective is Already Dead. This series deserves a movie, a second season.. no not even a second season 4 extra seasons. In fact we need this series to last longer than humanity itself, so when aliens look back into our world's history they can also watch The Detective is Already Dead. I do not know how else to describe this show other than an absolute beauty, from the characters having absolutely zero value to the idol scenes. This anime truly has it all, I always joked that having a beach episode was the dumbest thing but how about a cruise that lasts 3-4 episodes. I thought characters looking into their past was a generic attempt at filler but try h…

the characters have really big boobs. i mean like large. extra large. double whipped even. also chars ass in episode 10 was pretty cool. also we need more red hair girl she was really cool but she shows up like 3 times.

Basically, another shitty anime that got hype because of cute girls...
Writing my first review just to shit on this anime.
It's a story about so called "LegEnDaRy dEteCtive" which gets mentioned like every 5 seconds which makes you question if life is worth living.. *sigh*
As a mystery/detective story lover it's a disgrace that leaves bad taste in my mouth. They even had the audacity to mention Baker Street smh
"This is absurd." - MC's quote describes the Plot so well. There is no logic or reasoning much less any deducing or solving mysteries from anime with "detective" in its title. Story, pacing, timeline... everything is all over the place but the worst thing is this anime takes its self seriously which makes it 100x worse.
Bad story aside the conversations are dry as a desert with f…

What happened? How does it happened? Why does it happened?
Basically sums up my whole experience with this anime.
From start to finish, I never had a good grasp of what's happening. It's a wild mess of an anime.
The story is pretty weird. The first episode is enough to show anyone that. I thought this show would be a grounded mystery show investigating the dead of the detective... but boy I was wrong. It's pretty much just a fantasy anime in modern setting. The detective stuff is basically non-existent due to how the mary sue main character "solves everything before it happen".
There's no investigation, deduction, and it just heads to confrontation just to show the action. If you're expecting some Sherlock Holmes sh*ts here, then you'll be disappointed as much as I do.
There's also the f…

Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru or The detective is already dead, well at least the original creator of this PTW, a certain Nigojuu wasn't kidding about his works be it an LN, manga or this anime, cu'z the main female character Siesta is dead already, except her heart is still beating in someone else's body a and yes it now belongs to Nagisa, so let's get down to brass tax:
Story-Poor 3: Ok so whatever is going on in the mind of a certain original curator who goes by the name Nigojuu, looks like that his mind about the series' plot was all over the place, more emphasizes was given to the backstory of Siesta when she was still alive above else, as to the plot there were just too many plot holes to the point that one would ask as to how is possible, jaz making this review simply make me wanna go t…

Welcome to this season’s brand new edition of “Poor Light Novel Adaptations!” I’m your host bulkyhog, and today, we’ll be discussing why you shouldn’t waste 5 hours of your life watching this hot garbage! It certainly doesn’t take a legendary detective to realise what crime was committed here.
Yet again, we have an adaptation of a light novel that god knows why got the green light. While 86 was bad (fight me I dare you), it was at least not as bad and also popular enough to justify an adaptation. But this? No significant fanbase to work with, so the studio really chose this series out of all the possibilities to gamble a big hit on. I guess the anime industry has dried up the isekai well already so it’s on to chums like this now.
After watching 4 episodes where I literally fell asleep h…

I guess this Anime will definitely get a second season, as the last dialogue of Kimi said "its too soon to call it an epilogue" So I hope it gets a S2...
This was a good anime, Animation was good, the characters looked beautiful, Siesta-Kimi chemistry was good, also Side Characters and the Soundtracks were Beautiful...
The story is kinda slow at start but the pace it picks is drastic with major changes in short time, so that might be the reason people have some negative views about this Anime, but who cares if you choose to watch you should have the enthusiasm to complete because as a Anime only watcher I get attached to characters and want to see them go through all the way till the end... It differs from person to person...
Well you will enjoy the story if you love a bit of Romance, and…

If TanMoshi was just nothing but a detective duo solving mysteries with ridiculous leaps of logic with shallow but entertaining Monogatari-esque musings on philosophy, like what the first episode implied, I would have enjoyed it nonetheless. I consider myself to be someone who's willing to look past a lot of jank to find something, some semblance of passion or heart even in flawed projects. But this... this show has tried my patience a lot.
TanMoshi is a goddamned slog. It is so utterly boring with unlikable characters stringing you along for the whole ride. There is nothing worth watching in this. Kimi is such a black hole of personality that he sucks out everything there is in this show with his drabness. The other side characters don't do much either. Siesta is fun in the first episode…

A reminder that a waifu character alone is not enough to carry a show, especially if she's already dead. This is a Frankenstein anime made of a convoluted mix of tropes: harem, mechas, tentacles, werewolves, aliens, terrorists, you name it.
This anime did everything it could to call attention to it: white-haired waifu bait, a few seconds of high quality animation in episode 1, vtubers cameos, character designs that look stolen from 'Date a Live' and harem merchandise marketing, but after it got the attention it wanted, it was an utterly disappointment since it didn't have anything to stand on its own.
The "mystery" consist of characters saying that they "knew it all along" without providing any logic explanation to the viewer. The "comedy" consist of cringe "quippy" lines from the male M…

Kadokawa is a Japanese media conglomerate founded in 1945.
And it is the bane of my existence.
Imagine this: in the leadup to your anime, you have to promote your show. Someone comes up with a brilliant idea: “let’s confuse them so much, they’ll HAVE to watch the show!” And what’s more, this idea actually fits with the themes of the story! And so, all the PR staff put their heads together and come up with an intriguing, faithful, and popular marketing campaign that garners eyes from all over.
People are constantly speculating, discussing, and spreading the word about your adaptation! Bloody brilliant! The PR team’s done its job, and a spectacular one at that. All you have to do now is execute even a HALF-decent adaptation and you’ll get a respectable number of BD/merch sales, possibly…

Mystery, arguably the most eye catching and mind straining genre to experience in any medium. Seeing a case slowly unwrap itself, while you follow along and make your own conclusions is thrilling. Or if you’re as dumb as me, you have no clue what’s going on and just wait to get amazed by the big reveal. With timeless classics such as Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet, and The Moonstone to more modern cinematography pieces such as Will Smiths Bright or Id: ‘Invaded (pls watch this, its so good) the genre has cemented itself as an integral part in the media business. A good detective show is made upon an intriguing yet overwhelmingly convoluting plot with sharp witted, intelligent yet charismatic characters. Unfortunately this show has none of this.
The plot if you could call it that, is…

The Detective is Already Dead gives off an ambigious feeling of uncertainity. And by that, I do mean how potential viewers should expect from the show altogether. Let's face it, the English title should also fire some questions into your head. You may be asking yourself why the detective is 'already dead' or who really dies in the show. In what seems like a thematically intriguing premise quickly turns sour when we realize just how mediocre this actually turned out to be.
Taking a step back, I didn't want to be judgmental at first glance. In fact, I was actually impressed by some of the promotional material it showed off, especially a gun wielding girl fighting what seemingly taking place on board an aircraft. It's very confrontational from the start and leaves little room to breath for t…

Between the good anime and the enjoyably bad anime sit the ones that are unremarkable in every way, and you can’t help but wish you hadn’t wasted your time watching it. The Detective is Already Dead fits this role perfectly. With one-dimensional characters, an unengaging story, and plain awful visuals, there is next to no praise that can be given for the series. Don’t worry though, as it makes up for this by making sure there’s at least one cute girl in every scene.
There is an abundance of poorly directed scenes that lack the intended impact that they were going for. The moments that are supposed to feel emotional will feel no different from every other scene. This is due to a number of reasons but ultimately comes down to the flat characters and their lackluster responses to anything th…

"The Detective is Already Dead"? More like:
"The Story/Plot is Simple-mindedly Predictable (on the back of our heads)";
"The Characters are Absurdly Boring (and one-sided)";
"The Animation (or rather the production) went from Heroic Sakuga to Zero";
"The Music is somewhat Decent"; and to sum it up:
"The Anime is Already Doomed (after the double-length Episode 1, which was all style but no substance)".
Being one of the most hyped (that's mostly from word-of-mouth from light novel readers) that in a bizarre turn of events, turned to one of the most disappointing shows of the derisory state of the Summer 2021 season, I'm sure that novelist Nigojuu had an idea of doing a work that he so desired to make, and it was deemed good in its written form. But aside from the naming convention that soun…

This show is totally fucking with us.
The main girl is named Siesta. “Siesta” is Spanish for “nap.”
And this show does nothing but put you to sleep.
But that’s only if you’re lucky, because staying awake is torture. I know “The Detective is Already Dead” may sound like an enticing title, but don’t be fooled. This is a battle harem. It may not be set in an academy, and there may not be an arena for waifu fights, but the essential elements are there, and the show isn’t ashamed of this at all. In fact, it’s the only selling point. Why is a show about a middle school loser becoming Discount James Bond, traveling the world fighting international counterintelligence and terror organizations, but also aliens, mind controllers, werewolves, and superhuman androids enjoyed by anyone?
