#tokime

Let's start with the good!

I liked how they used animation to their advantage for detective plots

I like how they translated the actors into their anime counterparts!

All the characters feel basically the same as when i left them. Just like I wanted!

Fuuto pi at It's core is more double and honestly yeah I like that

I chugged any and all bits of Akiko and Terui

The "My Husband is a bike" joke was really funny to me for some reason??? I don't even know why myself but just the fact Akiko wrote that down is funny to me

The chibi sections at the end were seriously the bestttt!

Music and op plus ending were fireeee! Loved Tokime being drawn in the actual set and the dancing

Andddd now for the criticism

Not an actual complaint but I don't think Terui looks like his actor and it's funny but weird?

I don't like the fact it's 3 episode arcs.... It's just dragging it out and it doesn't even help the viewer try to solve the case either. It just made things more confusing. And sure I get it need to fit it in 12 ep but then why did they order 12??? Idk I'm taking this from a twst anime perspective and their 8 episodes weirdness. (their pacing sucked too but for the opposite reason)

Now the elephant in the room... I don't particularly hate Tokime I think she's a nice girl and a cute new member to the team. In my opinion I took her very well compared to others like her. Like Marie in Persona 4 golden I have a dislike for Marie. It's that they both do the thing where to make it seem like they belong there they make a lot of focus on them and the way they interact on the team which kind of just makes it feel awkward that she's there instead. And both girls just don't add to the humor than being new girls. Like each member in the double has a comedy point that's why they are such a likeable cast and Tokime just fails on that aspect. I feel like I sound like i hate her but i truly don't. She is a unique character and it's not like i dislike her interacting and solving cases with the group. She had such a strong entrance too kicking Shotaro in the stomach wish she kicked more people tbh. Also her being here meant Akiko couldn't solve cases with Shotaro anymore but meh i coul live with that.
