In Tokyo, there exists a peaceful cohabitation between supernatural creatures—elves, dwarves, vampires, and more—and humans. However, contrary to history, powerful dragons once ruled over this world of creatures and humans but have since disappeared. Consequently, a diabolical group under the alias "Nine," who seek the miracles of the once godlike dragons, stirs up trouble in the streets of Tokyo, commiting mass murder and causing destruction. To combat the dangerous group of Nine, the police organize the Special 7—a group of highly skilled professionals whose abilities exceed those of ordinary humans.
Caught up in a bank robbery turned hostage crisis, Seiji Nanatsuki, having recently become a detective, has a chance encounter with Shiori Ichinose, a member of Special 7. Assisting with the resolution of the robbery, Seiji is recognized for his clear sense of justice and refreshing character, suddenly earning him a spot on the elite unit.
As he takes on new missions, Seiji finds that being a detective as part of Special 7 isn't the police work he expected, where working alongside a team of different species with special abilities and vibrant personalities brings unpredictability to his daily life and police work. While the everyday crime in Tokyo continues, Seiji and the Special 7 will fight not only to resolve special cases, but also obstruct the ill-intentioned plans of the merciless group of Nine.

I liked the first episode of this show, it had a promise. I expected some kind of serious stuff, maybe like Psycho Pass (especially when I saw OP) or Cop Craft - something realistic (even though a setting is mix of fantasy and modern day), pragmatic and a bit grim. Instead I got a tale for kids that reminds me heavily of bungou stray dogs - in all the wrong ways. Story and world - lacking. Not much background, not much events, once again some evil dudes doing some evil stuff. I can't really say much here, cause nothing is said, nor do we gotany info about the current events. All we know - there are terrorists and they are evil (duh).
Art - from mediocre to lack-of-budget. Some scenes are ok, but most of the anime looks really cheap, action scenes are really weak.
Sound - well, it is ok, some voice actors in this title are great, but overall sound is lacking anything worthy of note.
Characters - while we got an episode with "off duty life" - they are still one-trick ponies. Everyone can be described in just otwo words, and this makes the whole story look really comical - when you have a set of "dumb and righteous", "serious but kind", "jaded but honorable", "NINJA DESU" - you are not going to get a good watch.
Yes, I know that this is an original anime. Yes I know that it is 12 episodes only - but still, why do you make so many characters if they all are bad and the events you describe can't help them to make the anime at least a bit interesting?

Before I get started, I just wanted to say that I don’t understand this underlying hatred or distaste for this anime. In my opinion it was one of the best anime’s I’ve ever watched. The story line and plot were simply amazing and unique as it was something I had never seen before in an anime. The build up to the last episode was simply exquisite as every episode led to me wanting to know more about the characters and the hidden meanings to many of the events going on. Every episode was full of mystery, action and suspense. It was so good that itled me to start to like some of the “bad” characters through flashbacks and character reveals. I think this anime is nothing but amazing. If you want to watch an anime with suspense, drama, great character development, shocking plot twist and that is just stunning I highly recommend it. I’m usually more of a romance genre lover but this anime has changed my views completely. Absolutely stunning!

OVERALL: 6/10 I would recommend this anime as a 'palate cleanser' anime (by that I simply mean a quick 1-season 12 episode anime to watch while in between 2 really good shows, for example I watch slice of life shows in-between shows such as Demon Slayer and Fire Force). Ratings: STORY: 5/10 at best tbh, pretty slow and generic, I watched it weekly alongside Ahiru no Sora and BNHA S4 so I didn't retain much info between episodes. ANIMATION: 8/10 Personally I love this style of animation so I thoroughly enjoyed that. It gave me some madhouse anime vibes which I also loved.CHARACTERS/ VOICES: 9/10
9/10 Mainly because I loved the voice acting, Tsuda Kenjirou as a protag is quite rare for me 😂 but other than that Hiro Shimono, Suzuki Tatsuhisa etc. were all a really good combination.
BUT in terms of characters themselves its probably a 6.5, I liked all the characters, mostly Ichinose since he gave me Shinya vibes, but overall the characters were pretty generic.
OPENING/ENDING: 10/10
I LOVEEEE TAKE ON FEVER! Its SO good! One Wish is also REALLY good, but Oldcodex outdid themself with this one, probably one of my favourite songs from them and atm it's definitely one of my top songs.

With am absolutely ridiculous long title, you'd think that this show is from a LN source, but NOPE, it's an original series, which I'd applaud the production staff under this to take the risk for such "original" (but rehashed in some form) stories that hope to break the bank in the existing landscape of usual tried-and-true anime adaptations, I really do. At first, I'd thought: "Is this Dance of the Dragons once again? Because it sure feels like it for the majority of the most part." But thank God that the story and the setting itself is fairly linear and easier to understand than that clusterfishof a work (much less its anime adaptation which was horrendous to say the least). So in essence, pretty much everything is laid out in the synopsis (that's mostly the beginning), but it has the Bungou Stray Dogs feeling towards the entire "special team" (that is Special 7) to eradicate crime (as a backdrop), but most importantly the remnant "evil" group known as Nine that still worships the Tokyo of time past where humans and supernatural creatures (of all sorts) coexist together in harmony, but ruled under dragons of power divine, to each their own to answer the fight for "justice".
That's not to say that the characters here are without their special unique caveats: the Special 7 consists of:
Sakon Zeroemon "Boss" Kiryuin, the boss of the entire team that is Special 7, and one of the original dragons from time past.
Rokusuke "Sniper" Endo, a master sniper just because he could effectively shoot long-range attacks with 100% precision.
Bellemer "Ninja" Cinq, loli homunculus blonde-hair girl with tricks of the trade on electronics.
Akane "Samurai" Shikisai, master swordsman-cum-vampire, just because humans and supernatural beings coexist (see my front pointer).
Kujaku "Analyzer" Nijo, highly intelligent elf with his large vast of connections for insider trade. His brother Luka is part of the puzzle, as you'd see down the road why.
Shiori "Charisma" Ichinose, the non-marksman and the only human in the team, yet bizarrely his misfire shots only work 1% of the time. Oh and his ability to deduce criminals intent is so good, his ability is just that.
And the newest member of Special 7, Seiji "Rookie" Nanatsuki. Due to an attack years ago, Nijo's brother Luka saved his life whilst sacrificing for Nine's qualms in inheritance of Warlock's inherited dragon powers of the past. Now reincarnated from the dragon's life (due to his innate "surprise" magic-dispersing abilities), he exists to find his own "justice" both as a former police officer, and current Special 7 Rookie.
In all, indeed a "special" group of people tasked to thwart people of time past like Warlock, head of the evil group Nine which used dragons and manipulative efforts to bring the world of dragons to existence, and earlier with Nijio's brainwashed brother Luka Mizuma to aid in his efforts in world domination (like almost any simpleton evildoer wannabe would do).
It's a simple story and plot to follow, but the cut-out setting and the one-note characters just aren't quite as appealing, though it'd rake in the enjoyment factor a little amidst its boring plot and storytelling. And I'd say that the execution is just decent, nothing to blow off minds about.
No-name studio ANIMA&CO. (apparently from what I speculate, a sister studio of Studio NAZ) heralded this production, and it's as average as you can get for a decently-sized budget on the original front, that all it takes is a simple hook to get money pumped in for this production, and wah-lah. Not to mention that while character designs are striking as they could get, the visuals and especially the animation are again, nothing to write home about.
Music is also decent for a hyper-active show of crime fighting and otherworldly affections. OST is good, shall I say? OLDCODEX and SCREEN mode certainly did their best for the respective OP and ED with this, and I'd like the songs a fair bit, but its not something that I would listen to outside of the anime.
All in all, this is just your average crime-fighting show that's just screams "mediocrity" in the slew of the many better similar genre shows out there that are worth your time than this. It's not a bad show, mind you, I did get some enjoyment out of it, but most of it is just...boring and uninspired. It's an easy skip if recommendations are a question, that's for sure.

After watching an important number of Gordon Ramsay's famous show called "Kitchen Nightmares", a few words dug their place in my memory : bland, dreadful, disgusting. Well Keishichou Tokumubu Tokushu Kyouakuhan Taisakushitsu Dainanaka: Tokunana was bland & blank by its universe, dreadful by its abnormaly long title which I never dared to pronounce and... not disgusting, this one is just a bonus. Contains minor spoilers. Let's get straight to the point which I disliked the most : the universe and its logic. A modern world where different species such as vampires, "homonculus girl with blonde hair", dwarves and any type of magic users live in harmony. Foundthis part attractive ? Hell forget about it because the main plot is centralized around a serie of terrorists attacks who eventually had the resurrection of the dragons who disappeared from Earth. And no, all these terrorist attacks and all the cases seen during the 12 episodes barely involved magic, like a very tiny bit of magic. Quite disappointing for a universe which includes a lot magic users.
Now what is the biggest disappointment for me, is the absolute lack of originality for the 7 main characters. If 2 are humans, the rest are non-humans which looks interesting on the paper, at least it caught my interest. However this show could have 7 perfectly human characters, it would be exactly the same : what's the point then to build a unit made of "on the paper" complementary members ?
Great question I couldn't answer after 13 weeks, including the very useless recap (how ironic that all the greatest 24-episodes animes this year, such as Dr. Stone, Vinland Saga and Kimetsu no Yaiba didn't EVEN have a single recap/week break...). The characters are absolutely non-interesting and we hardly learn anything about themselves besides the real MC and his partner/superior who are... humans. The dwarf is a basic sniper eye-patched man, the vampire is basic katana warrior, the "blond imp" is just a electronic master, the sort of elf is just a basic detective with long ears and their boss is purely an old magic user who stopped using magic (a regular human ? Kinda)?
If we swap to the other side, aka the villain side : is it any better ? Oh god no, there are only 2 villains who don't get any interesting afterall. Classic thema of "wannabe master of the world so let's start a ritual to proceed". Their whole plan is absolutely boring and instead of giving any sort of emotions (horror for example, especially with a terrorism thematic), it just gives yourself a dose of anesthetic.
Is there any positive point left ? Well I didn't drop it so that means it is not horrible enough. Actually I desire every Sunday that the weekly episode would eventually bring life to this universe, I wished it would explain me how come non-humans and humans can coexist and what the hell is the goal of this special unit. I first thought this was a unit made to deal with magic users but the only enemies faced were low-skilled/amateurs terrorists with MP5 and a video-game intelligence (no, that's not a compliment). Only a few moments just reminded me it was a magical/supernatural show and not your average police show.
So to summarize my global opinion : disappointing, the universe itself fails to have its own identity and I could only see a blank green background where a bunch of non-natural things were thrown to appetize. Honestly the mix of police thema with supernatural can be interesting, at least I appreciated something a bit similar : Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin which succeeded to give consistancy and life to its universe. Actionless globally (unlike this show I wrote about) but much more captivant and interesting. Talking about action, Keishichou[...] was not a catastrophe with its decent fights but they were nothing but lifeline instead of a strong point.

Well...i'm not good at review i'm really sorry =-=°

Where to start... Okay let's start from the Character, the very poor part in the anime, first the character design so awful and tacky especially the villain and the detective who Follow him ( seriously? Is this even a serious design? ), and of course don't forget the design of the hero of the show، in short the character design look like the one who make it just dropped some hair style here and there, and some Scars here and there, and here we have some stupid character design, second thing.. the characters writing so weak and all the characters just Molded characters you can seethem in many anime, and they even don't have a good Development, you will finish the anime and you will found that you don't know anything then what you know in the start of the anime about them, they just Ready-made templates
The story had some good points but generally it's so poor, where even the writer don't know what to do with it, he put elements in it, but the question is he use it ? The answer NO!
Weave the story is okay, but of course not the weaving of the climax
And the mixing of fantasy was weak where the writer like what i said before don't knows what to do with his story..
The art is so normally, especially the art style, the animation is bad even when the hard scene by the number of fingers, the background is boring and empty
I want to say more, but there's nothing important left, generally the anime is so normal With a tendency to be bad

After watching the show, I thought: "Adding elves, vampires, wizards, dwarves, and dragons won't guarantee an interesting story." Special 7 is a crime anime seemed to add fantasy elements without actually thinking about how it affects world building and the story telling. Other than the terrorisms, everything else could've been done without the fantasy elements. It was fun at first, until it fell flat at the end. The Special 7 themselves were forgettable characters, and don't get me started with the main lead. The art is alright, the animation's a bit static but not terrible, and the OST is nothing special. It's not the worst show that everexisted, it's just forgettable.

I don't intend on writing too much since in depth reviews aren't my forte, I tend to ramble, what I will say first off is that like others I had some hope for this anime; the premise seemed good and episodes 1 & 2 aren't bad. It started losing me at 3, by 5 I was watching episodes in 1.5x speed and after that I was skimming them, only finishing the series 'cus I don't like leaving reviews unless I've seen all the episodes. What prompted me to realize why it was losing me was the supernatural side of it, something I usually enjoy if nothingelse. I wanted to know more about why creatures like elves exist and when introduced to the characters I remember them mentioning something about vampires being rare, so I went looking for information...and couldn't find any. Striking me as odd I searched a little more and found the exact phrase I thought would be the problem, "original anime".
Let's get one thing straight; there's nothing inherently wrong with an original anime, done right they can be very compelling, Mononoke, Cowboy Bebop, Darker Than Black, Anohana, Kill La Kill and Tsuritama are all fantastic original anime. This one is not done right. For lack of a better word it's vapid, there's no substance to it, they wrote a story for a single timeline with a single purpose and nothing else, despite hinting at something deeper there's nothing there, no grand past to it, no tangible lore, nothing.
The characters are bland and boring stock personas without any real emotion or goals that you can find in any mediocre anime. The police drama side of it felt like a fanboy's misguided version of mystery thriller with just one of those holier-than-thou super detectives who can work things out from clues the viewer is never privvy to, so it just gets boring. The action is stiff and sub par at best, and the crime part is often so damn contrived it's like a 10 year old wrote it. Don't even get me started on the supernatural element that doesn't even make much of a difference to the plot until the very end, in fact it would've been more interesting if the whole dragons ruling the world thing was actually made up and the villain boss was just deceiving his followers into believing he's some God figure, that makes more damn sense than the crap we're fed.
Never have I watched an anime before now and openly thought "Wow, this is a cash grab" but there's a first for everything right? Needless to say if you're looking for a fun supernatural police-like anime I'd recommend Bungou Stray Dogs, waaay better than this garbage space filler that's not even worth your time.
