(Four episodes watched): After reading lucy-san's highly enthusiastic review I gave MTNN a look. After the brief prologue it becomes clear pretty quickly what sort of arrangement there is between Katsuragi and the demon Neuro--at the end of episode one it's (partially) explained how this came about. Yes, Neuro really does "feed" on mysteries--I was wondering if I had understood that correctly. MTNN reminded me of Detective Conan, what with there being what seems to everyone to be a brilliant detective who is in fact basically a puppet for another secret genius. At least MTNN has a more plausible method of the genius making indirect accusations via Yako (though at times it seems that Neuro isn't even trying to hide the fact that he's the actual detective). Neuro has promised to solve a personal mystery for Yako (if she serves him as his "dummy" in the meantime), but apparently hasn't done so yet. The animation seems average, as does the humor. Neuro's attitude of contempt for humans can be amusing at times, but can also be overdone which makes me start hating him. At least he is largely indifferent to those who aren't to blame for some sort of mysterious crime. This show has a touch of amusing weirdness, such as the business being called the "Katsuragi Yako Demon World Detective Agency" (which, another employee points out, isn't likely to draw customers). The episodes are already seeming repetitive to me; Neuro has little trouble deducing who is guilty and the explanation of exactly how the crime was committed is the only actual touch of mystery. Furthermore, it is pretty obvious who the guilty party will be in in each case which Yako and Neuro investigate; if only one suspect is introduced (and they have a snide look on their face), you can be pretty sure that's the one! My favorite line (so far): "This case is full of the fragrant smell of mystery" --Neuro Last updated Sunday, April 06 2008. Created Friday, March 28 2008. | ||||||||

Love it Love it Love it! it's so good, so interesting, so funny. This series is like nothing i have ever watched before, its very different and that what i like about it. Although this series is about mystery it doesn't actually focus on it but more like using it to develop the story. As i've watched further the story seems to develop and i actually get an understanding of each of the characters and their backgrounds. Apart from the interesting story which always keeps you wanting more. I have to say that they juggle the comedy in really well (although most of it is in SD mode). I like it when Neuro calls Yako and Godai servant no. 1 and servant no. 2 LOL! , they also use similarities such as the brand of Godai's car is called Zeep ahahaha! After 20 episodes i am confident to say that this is probably one of the best series i have ever watched. and i'm not hesitating to recommend this to everyone. Last updated Wednesday, March 26 2008.
