![]() ![]() This talent, which he himself calls a "trouble magnet", apparently also led to his encounter with the master detective Siesta, who wanted to recruit him as her assistant, which he initially refused due to his characteristic of always ending up in unpleasant situations. He is extremely bothered by the fact that he is called a detective after all, the detective is already dead.Ĭharacters Kimihiko Kimizuka ( 君塚 君彦, Kimizuka Kimihiko) Voiced by: Arata Nagai (Japanese) Austin Tindle (English) An 18-year-old high school student with a talent to attract criminals so that in his past he often witnessed various crimes and was even later questioned by the police as a suspect himself. Now in his last year of senior high, Kimihiko is once again confronted by the ghosts of the past as he tries to solve new cases that fall into his lap. After being constantly pestered, Kimihiko agrees to be Siesta's sidekick and for three years, they worked together, finding and solving an innumerable number of cases. Forcefully made into her sidekick, Kimihiko helped her stop the plane from being hijacked, but not before Kimihiko discovered the existence of underworld organizations. One particular day in his third year of junior high, he was kidnapped and forced to carry a suitcase onto an international flight on that flight, he met Siesta, a woman who proclaims herself to be a "legendary detective". According to him, he was born with a condition that naturally attracts him to troublesome situations, such as being forced to join a flash mob while taking a leisurely walk, accidentally stumbling across an underworld transaction between drug dealers, and being at the site of crime scenes often enough to sometimes be considered a suspect. A second season has been announced.Įver since he was a child, Kimihiko Kimizuka has attracted trouble. ![]() An anime television series adaptation by ENGI aired from July to September 2021. Both the light novel and manga are licensed in North America by Yen Press. A manga adaptation with art by Mugiko has been serialized in Media Factory's seinen manga magazine Monthly Comic Alive since May 2020. Media Factory have published the series since November 2019 under their MF Bunko J imprint. Shame.Īnyway, great first episode I am looking forward to seeing what happens next and more importantly what happened to Siesta.The Detective Is Already Dead ( Japanese: 探偵はもう、死んでいる。, Hepburn: Tantei wa Mō, Shinde Iru., Spanish title: La detective está muerta ) is a Japanese light novel series written by Nigojū and illustrated by Umibōzu. Reason being, I cannot envision anything other than that because why have an anime titled as “The Detective Is Already Dead”, if you kill off the detective in the first episode? Siesta even felt like she was going to be the best girl too. I assume that episodes two through twelve will be filling in the timeline and the events leading up to and after Siesta’s death. We meet Siesta in the opening minutes, then we find out that she had already died by the end of the episode. In a way, episode one presented both the beginning and end of the anime. I’m actually really sad that at the end they reveal that Siesta had already died, which I also assume will be something the anime gets into later on in the episodes. All of this plus Siesta following Kimi around (even at school) after their little encounter together only to be dragged on Siesta’s continued adventures against SPES - was pretty neat. Then we have a mysterious organization in SPES and whatever they’re doing there with this ‘android’ thing. It had a pretty cool fight scene, one of the characters (Siesta) was extremely interesting and mysterious I wanted to learn more about her. The first episode ticked a lot of boxes for me. Which like Siesta’s ‘legendary detective’ gig, will also be further explained in future episodes. We do not know much about this ‘android’ deal but from the clues Siesta had left us, it’s associated with an organization called ‘SPES’. It’s similar to something you’d see out of the anime Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu, however, this one is a lot more controlled. We also had an one episode antagonist in ‘bat’ who had this ‘android’ attachment to his ear, capable of killing. Not too sure what that means or entails but I’m sure the anime will get into what all that means. We have/had a very interesting character named Siesta who was ‘born as a legendary detective’. Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru‘s first episode really caught my eye because we saw action right away and we saw a pretty cool fight scene happen between ‘Bat’ vs. ![]() I’m not too sure whether or not I like or dislike it, however, right now I think I like it really much. A quick aside, what is up with the first episodes of anime being longer than half an hour? This is now the second anime I watched this season that has an opening episode of over 40+ minutes. ![]()
