Review:

(Reviewed by Matt from the L33t Str33t Boys)

It’s great for fans of the murder mystery genre.

Every episode is well contained and you don’t really need to watch them in sequence to really understand what’s going on.  It makes it kind of fun because you can jump around throughout the series and not end up being lost as to what’s going on.

It takes about four or five episodes to go through a full mystery so it’s great to just pick up.

It is based off of a manga which is also good.  In manga form one mystery takes up one book.  That’s equally good and great to pick up.
