Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo "Shounen Tanteidan" yori

Kogorou Akechi is the founder of a private investigation firm known as the Boy Detectives' Club. Together, this group takes on cases both great and small. One of their junior , Kensuke Hanasaki, is out solving a case one day when he happens upon Yoshio Kobayashi, a mysterious amnesiac boy with an inability to die. After seeing his abilities in action, Kensuke offers Yoshio a deal: the Boy Detectives' Club and help them solve cases, and in exchange he will find a way to help Yoshio die.

The apathetic Yoshio accepts this deal begrudgingly, unaware of how different his life will become. Although he does not have much use for people, he gradually begins to acknowledge the group as he spends more time with them while solving cases.

Trickster: Edogawa Ranpo "Shounen Tanteidan" yori follows Akechi and the rest of the Boy Detectives' Club as they solve the various cases they are given, all while combating a hidden threat from the shadows—"The Fiend with Twenty Faces."

I have never written a review before, but the injustice this show suffers made me want to actually write one.

I binge watched this show in less than two days and it was a roller coaster ride the entire way! I have seen hundreds of anime by this point and I honestly have no idea why so many people hated on this show.

I love any work having to do with the Boys' Detective Club or Edogawa Ranpo, and this series did an excellent joke of drawing the audience in, keeping you interested, and appreciating it right to the very end.

Was it perfect? No, but what is ... nowadays? Did it have a great, coherent story line, well developed characters, thrills, spills, and chills? Heck yeah!

I've been really disappointment with the reviews of many shows lately. Shows that had amazing reviews turned out to be utter trash, and shows like Trickster, having awful reviews, turned out far beyond my expectations.

If you aren't sure about watching... Give it a go and see if you like it for yourself!!!

Mixed Feelings

Trickster was actually an alright show, overall. It could've been a lot better, but it wasn't a bad show.

The story is about a bunch boys in the Boys Detective club solving cases they take up. Hanasaki meets Kobayashi in the first episode, who has a power that prevents him from dying, and it goes on from there into cases being solved, character turmoil, and bunch of random stuff.

The art isn't really special, but it at least captures the tone of the vents properly.

Their nothing special about the sound. I do like the second opening theme and ending theme. The first ones ... weren't all that good.

The character department is kind of a mess. Kobayashi, Hanasaki, Akechi, and the rest didn't really evolve much during the first half of the show. They got some development in the second half, but a lot of them were kept off screen most of the time. Reducing the character numbers by a few would've helped a bit.

I still enjoyed Trickster, but my enjoyment lessened overtime. I really liked it at first, but it quickly became just an ok anime due to all the different events being thrown at you in kind of a non orderly fashion. It's not something I'd really recommend, but I won't highly discourage someone from watching it either.

Well about the anime Trickster

Don't know what to tell you the anime at the start looked promising but after few episodes it has become boring and stupid nothing interesting happened,it's not worth watching....
The start was really good I thought gonna be a good anime since Kobayashi appear an immortal guy,and he wanted too die I was excited ,the 1st 7 or 8 episodes were ok really good to be honest,but after that it lost everything the story droped,nothing interesting,just boring conversation and some stupid mission and so it goes to the end....
The end is absolute crap...
If you want to waste your time go ahead ... :D

- Story Boring
-Anime Characters nothing special
-Kobayashi immortal dude that wants to die
-Rest bull sh*t

The story maybe 4/10
Art style 3/10
Sound 4/10
Characters 4/10
Enjoyment 2/10

I gave it a 5 still considering it's maybe to high rated for myself there are many animes with much better stories and fights and rest
