Purely a gag comedy anime. Most of the comedy revolves around aging health problems and worries, local perverts with hearts of gold(?) and referential chaos. Some of the references were admittedly well done and there were a few times the sheer insanity of the scenes had me rolling. That's about all the positive things I have to say about this show. The rest of the 95% of the time I was wishing I was watching literally anything else. The humor just didn't land for me. This show absolutely has its audience but it's not something I ever see myself recommending to anyone, other than as a joke. If the first couple episodes don't do anything for you, feel safe dropping it. The wedding during the typhoon in episode 10 was the best part of the show.

If you are tired of the serious, high-stakes detective dramas and want something that replaces "deduction" with "utter chaos," then "Mattaku Saikin no Tantei Tokitara" is a breath of fresh air.
The show thrives on the hilarious contrast between Keiichiro Nagumo, a washed-up former prodigy detective who is now just a grumpy 35 yo with chronic back pain, and his high school assistant Mashiro, who is essentially a chaotic force of nature. The humor is fast-paced, often breaking the fourth wall, and pokes fun at every detective cliché in the book.
We can't talk about this show without mentioning Maki-san. She is easily one of the most charming and memorable characters in the series. Her presence adds a fantastic layer to the show’s dynamic, she’s the kind of character you can’t help but root…

I think you can get from the title of the show that this will not be a very serious anime. This is a slapstick/parody anime where the the girl detective Mashiro seems to follow cartoon laws. For example she can hide and bring out tons of stuff that she hides under her clothes. She can run super fast and jump high.
Part of the humor is the contrast of the two personalities, one middle aged man and the other a high school girl, and the interaction between them.
Personally I like it when a detective show takes itself seriously and where there is tension .
I like the OP/Intro and ED/Outro songs.
My Rating: 5/10 (Mediocre)

When I first watched this anime in August, I was really surprised why this anime wasn't famous on SNS.
If you watch a lot of anime, you will definitely know who the voice actors are behind their characters.
the opening and ending songs are very unique.
maybe if there is a second season, the background of mashiro-chan's character will be explained and i hope it will be explained.
I'm sure you will really like this anime, because it has a very unique plot and lots of references. I highly recommend you to watch this anime if you really like the anime Grand Blue.
Absolute peak anime comedy in big 2025

This is one of those shows that can't really be described according to its plot, because there kind of is none. All i can say, is that i came across it by pure chance, and i'm very glad i did.
To put it simply, its 'a show about detectives', kind of, instead, at the core being one of those extreme random comedies i love so much, where the goal is just to shove anything and everything that can and will make you laugh that is at least vaguely connected to the chosen theme, and one, that unlike say the overhyped deer girl anime which is just 1 joke over and over, actually goes above and beyond to deliver the craziest random humor you can and can't imagine.
If you're a fan of humor anime like asobi asobase, the daily life of highschool boys, grand blue, nichijou and the like, you'll love thi…

Basically, Henry Stickmin the anime.
The reference to things surrounding pop culture is fascinating and so funny. They nailed the comedy, and people who have been in the animation community, especially anime, are probably going to enjoy this more.
Fantastic show. I don't really think I would enjoy this as much, but man, I actually enjoy it more than I thought.
How did I find this?
It's on Ani-one line-up anime for this season. I just thought, why not give it a try?
Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?)
I don't know. I'm actually going into this series blind. So, yeah, very surprised I actually enjoy it. Platform
Anione Asia, Crunchyroll, and Bahamut (Taiwan)

Detective's These Days is not exactly an innovative or interesting work. It's a referential comedy that deals in referencing detective media (and often many other things, a la Bobobo or Gintama), and that comedy is fine. It receives inconsequential little guttural laughs every episode, some episodes moreso than others, but the big issue is that this is the epitome of seasonal anime, in that I could not imagine watching this beyond a seasonal setting, nor could I imagine reading the manga for this.
That's not a bad thing, it's just that now that it is over, I can't heartily recommend the work. It's fine, it's occasionally funny, the art is good, character are endearing, but this isn't actually Bobobo or Gintama. It's not some hilarious comedy I could sit and watch for hours, it's one I cou…

This series has some of the UGLIEST artwork I have ever seen!
Not to worry. It's all part of the schtick. I admit, I didn't understand that at first, and almost dumped this after a 3 eps test. The intentional ugliness is supposed to have shock value to be comedic. Didn't always work for me, and frankly it took some getting used to, before I stopped being repulsed by it. The background work seemed an afterthought. For a series with a fair amount of action in it, I found the animation was less than average over all.
What kept me around after 3 were the character designs, when they weren't being denigrated. The MC is Mashiro, who is basically Hell on Wheels in a skirt. But I found her very 2 dimensional. She is little more than comic relief. No real development through the season. The othe…

It starts out with ecchi and by the end it's nothing but boob jokes for humor. Or the fact that a woman is actually strong, because having a strong women is humorous and gross or something,
There's a good part in the middle where the humor doesn't seem to rely of throwing one of the main female characters under a bus, but at the end it's only that and wears out it's welcome. The only gags for the men are how old Negumo is (at 35/36 which is NOT that old) or how much of a misogynist Asuno is to women. (Yes constantly sexually harassing women makes you a misogynist.)
The last episode tries to bring it around, but by that time we've had too many episodes of that same thing. Also having all the male characters look ugly didn't help the work either.

Are you fan of gag humor? Are you stressed? Wanna feel good with laughter?
Then yes this anime is recommended.
A good comedy show is rare now a days. Specially with gag humor and not making it weird.
This show did it perfectly. Also Kana Hanazawa nailed her role which made this show even more funnier.
Any last show that made me feel good with their comedy was Vampire dies in no time (Excluding Konosuba).
I know this will not be much popular nor it'll advance but we at least got it.
The story is quite simple just goes on with some detective work. Which leads us to know about people and their days.
The cost did amazing job.
The sound quality was pretty good too. Specially The ED Gori⭐Gori Feez-e-Girl was a banger.
The animation was great. Which made this show much better. The pacing and cons…

What does it take for an old, washed up detective and a young, spunky high school girl to have in common? Being detectives who go out to solve crimes while also causing trouble in the form of comedy. I mean, that is what the premise of the anime's story is, to be honest. To put it simply, Keiichiro Nagumo, one of the show's protagonists, runs a detective agency and was famously known during his youth. Yet he is now a washed up detective whose detective agency is failing and soon to be evicted from the building. One day, Mashiro Nakanishi, the show's second protagonist walks in the building, requesting to work under Nagumo. Nagumo refuses at first until Mashiro confesses that she looks up to him and shows a spark of determination she currently has which inspired him. Therefore, Nagumo takes…

Are you looking for an anime with absurd humor that can keep you entertained? This is one of those shows that probably won’t be remembered in the long run, but at least it’ll give you a fun time.
The main characters are quite appealing and make for some pretty good comedic duos. Secondary characters could have been developed a bit more (maybe that wasn’t the main goal, but I think it would’ve improved it).
There isn’t really a linear story, so it’s not the kind of anime that makes you eager to see what happens in the next episode, but still... it’s decent.

Detectives These Days Are Crazy! — Yep...crazy as they can be, no matter the profession.
If I have one thing to admire about authors who can get their shit right, it's going from one genre to another that, honestly, baffles one's mind as to how he/she can do one thing well but yet also have a sense of unbridled sarcasm to create another that does the job equally as well. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you mangaka Masakuni Igarashi, the author of Spring 2018's slice-of-life rom-com series Senryuu Shoujo a.k.a Senryu Girl, following up with yet another adaptation of his comedy mystery series this Summer with Mattaku Saikin no Tantei to Kitara a.k.a Detectives These Days Are Crazy!, as well as the much-anticipated rom-com series Mayonaka Heart Tune a.k.a Tune In to the Midnight Heart, th…
