Ron Kamonohashi, the best student in the history of the elite Detective Training Academy BLUE, has been living as a recluse since BLUE expelled him five years ago. Moreover, he is forbidden to work as a detective, having barely escaped execution after getting involved in a murder case while he was still attending the school. Ron's situation changes drastically when police detective Totomaru Isshiki, following the advice of a senior colleague, seeks him out for help with a criminal case that has remained unsolved for months. Ron reluctantly agrees to help Totomaru and uses his phenomenal intuition to discover the culprit in less than a day. However, it appears that Ron suffers from a mysterious condition that can cause those around him to lose their lives. To Ron's great surprise, Totomaru manages to save the life of someone whom Ron put in jeopardy.
As the unlikely duo starts solving crimes one after another, BLUE sends operatives after its former student to find out if he has resumed investigative work. Fighting against murderers, rogue detectives, and the Metropolitan Police Department, Ron and Totomaru must join forces if they want to survive and see justice prevail.

As a detective show, this is pretty decent. It doesn't have the kind of swagger that Undead Girl Murder Farce did, and while neither show makes it particularly easy for the audience to figure out what happened (I'd say it's pretty close to impossible in both cases), this one just didn't feel like it had the strong wrap-ups to each of its cases that that one did. It also doesn't have the character-driven emotional elements that make the mysteries of The Apothecary Diaries so enthralling. I hate to compare this anime to other mystery shows, but it's just missing something to separate itself from thepack even when its mysteries come together in interesting fashion.
So, why did I keep watching? Two reasons: the pair of leads that headline this series, and the mysterious supernatural element that drives Ron's story. The former is pretty good. I'm not terribly fond of Ron's character, who is largely just quirky to be quirky (trying to emulate many idiosyncratic characters in a similar vein - more on that later), but I am fond of his partner Toto, despite his relative lack of background. I think they make quite the pair, with the latter functioning as a straight man who grounds the former and keeps his weird eye power from claiming more lives. I don't love that his role as last second lifesaver is the reason they came together, but their development as a pair is interesting, especially given Ron's isolation.
As for the supernatural element... yeah, it's not working for me. It's essentially an uncontrollable Geass that forces the accused, at the point that they admit to their guilt or are completely found out, to kill themselves. It's interesting in a way because it gives a reason why Ron is not an active detective, but it's a pretty weak reason, especially as we find out that other characters are aware of this and... did nothing. Why Toto was the first to try to address it is beyond me. Why it exists at all is kind of perplexing. Turns out there's a conspiracy behind it that I won't spoil, but it makes very little sense, and the basis for that conspiracy is depressing.
Again, relating back to Undead Girl Murder Farce, I had a problem with the episodes where Sherlock Holmes participates because it felt like the series and its characters could stand by themselves. They didn't need to lean on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but they did anyway. And while I won't spoil the mid-season twist here, it's similarly leaning on outside characters and I don't like it. I appreciate that very little of the series is driven by that element, and it certainly sets up some interesting antagonists for S2 (which I'll watch to see if this goes anywhere), but it's lazy writing, shorthand to explain why Ron and his antagonists are worthy of attention rather than just showing why they are.
Overall, this series was at least an interesting watch. I enjoyed watching the murder mysteries play out and the central duo commands some worthy attention, but the central plot thread just doesn't work for me, at least not yet. The first season answers so few questions and introduces more. I'm hoping for better from S2.

Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions is pretty fun. I don’t have too much to say about this season other than it’s a fun buddy cop mystery anime. The dynamic between Totomaru Isshiki and Ron Kamonohashi is a lot of fun to watch and the mysteries that these two solve are engaging and always keep me invested every week. I really like how each new mystery in this season introduces an entirely new set of side characters which helps keep the interactions between the two main characters and the rest of the supporting cast fresh and exciting. This anime also introduces an overarching plotline involving some secretorganizations and all of this ties into the titular character’s special abilities as well as his backstory, and I’m really invested in it. I assume the second season will focus more on this storyline but this season primarily centers on building and strengthening the dynamic between Isshiki and Kamonohashi. The only major complaint that I have with this anime is that many of the deductions made when attempting to solve the mysteries are mainly from Kamonohashi, and at first I didn’t mind this since Isshiki was an inexperienced detective in the earlier episodes, but Kamonohashi constantly doing around 70-80% of the sleuthing doesn’t really help Isshiki grow and improve his skills, despite Ron giving him all the credit for solving the various cases throughout this season. Isshiki does see some subtle character development, but I’d like for future seasons to not have Isshiki depend on Kamonohashi so much and have him fully solve a case all on his own. Other than that, this anime is very serviceable in being a good mystery series with many fun twists and turns throughout the entirety of the show so far.

okay first off, this is not a typical mystery series because -im pretty sure- this is all about characters relationships and their subtle impact within their daily lives, at least all of part 1. so if youre looking for realistic plot devices in crime scenes this is probably not your thing (i mean, ron uses something like hypnosis on ep1, what impression does this give you?) narrative isnt that good (plot holes and unreasonable approaches happen often), animation is absurdly fine for it, voice acting is amazing, music is good. -the strong points are character growth, character relationships, character design and script (character and pacing wise), theOP and ED are quite unique for the animes simplicity at first sight.
-the weak points are the use of plot devices (theyre awkward), the fact its unlikely you will solve a case along with the characters because theyre kind of too specific sometimes and the fact that ron is too good to be real (i still like him though. hes one of those.)
the series are funny and entertaining to watch and are overall loyal to the manga while taking good care about pacing so you get to enjoy the best of each scene. the series concept is easily misunderstood (again, its not your regular mystery story), but if you can bear with the irregularities and focus on characters then youre off to a great start.
now as a heads up im actually up to date with the manga so i can firmly say this *will* get good further ahead (still considering the plot holes) so if youre patient you should stick to it. the narrative is ridiculous 90% of the time but it goes from zero to hundred very quickly when the scenes get intense and so, with the animes production quality, i think it will be a nice watch once the important plot points sink in.
this is one of those series that start not so well and then get real laaater on. through most of the first part itll feel like theyre just feeding you cumbs before an actual meal. so im looking forward to the upcoming season(s).
also, this gets better if you can deal with the fujobait (?) because theyre so homo it doesnt feel real (im fine with it)
hope it was useful ✮

I just finished watching the first season of Kamonohashi Ron no Kinda Suiri and I recommend it for anyone that likes the detective genre. While this show isn't perfect, it has many qualities and I'll try to point them out in this review, without spoiling anything. The pros : + The investigations are interesting, and that's very important for a detective show. They aren't exactly meant to be solvable by the viewers, but the detectives will solve them by paying close attention to details in a believable way. + The character design is neat and the side characters are funny and rather inspired.+ The visuals are good looking, there's a lot of different landscapes, nice colorimetry aswell.
+ Some plot elements to make this show feel unique make us want to learn more about the story.
+ The comic vibe this show is going for works at times, there are a few funny jokes & situations...
The cons :
- But on the other hand, I'll reckon that this show could have used a bit more "seriousness", it sometimes feels like there isn't enough at stake.
- It's linked with the last con, but there's a lack of action scenes in the show, and it's a shame because it would have been relevant for a police/detective show.
- The MC being goofy is a common trope for that kind of detective duo, but it becomes a bit annoying in this show because there is one "gimmick" that happens everytime that will make the viewer cringe because of how unbelievable the situation is.
All in all, I think this show is enjoyable and anyone interested in this genre should give it a try. The detective aspect is respected by giving us some interesting investigations, and the overall cozy/funny mood the show is going for works well enough with the few characters introduced. In order to become more unique, this first season introduces a few plot elements that should keep the viewer intrigued and eager to watch the next season ! However, this anime does have some flaws, this comic choice comes at the expense of the story's coherence : it's hard to justify the lack of action scenes, and a rather "important" detail of the plot becomes frankly quite stupid because of this.

Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deduction - To go from one of the most classic franchises to a tongue-in-cheek series that is a precursor to this show, I'm really left with this thought in my mind: does the author REALLY know how to make Shonen works stand the test of time? To the classic AniManga connoisseurs, I'm pretty sure that the name of Akira Amano is no stranger to you. The female mangaka best known for her series Katekyou Hitman Reborn!, which was featured in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump as one of the top guns alongside the Big 3 at the time, is now, over 20 years later,a franchise that I can recommend to anyone wanting to experience a true and pure classic Shonen series. But her later series of the sci-fi adventure ēlDLIVE which (for some reason) was also serialized in the same publishing company's Shonen Jump+ spin-off, garnered a teeny-tiny fraction of her previous juggernaut series, and even with Studio Pierrot's Winter 2017 anime, it really didn't do much for the community expecting something new out of the acclaimed mangaka.
With the failure of ēlDLIVE, while sticking to the same publication platform, comes the brand-new gob-smacking mystery crime series in the form of Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri a.k.a Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deduction, released in October 2020, with Diomedea's anime adaptation just 3 years later. And the series, despite the recommendation from Takarajimasha's Kono Mystery ga Sugoi! a.k.a This Mystery is Excellent!'s winning mystery writers, with one of them (Sako Aizawa) praising the series as "an "authentic mystery manga for the new era" with its fast pacing, as well as the tricks and logic used to identify the culprit", the anime (and its manga source material) may not be neither bad nor garbage, but is rather bland and mediocre, and a draggy slog to sit through.
What Akira Amano has done here in this series is to take the ever-so-loving tried-and-true formula of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and give it her take of the Shonen genre by mashing the personalities of both protagonist (Sherlock Holmes) and antagonist (William James Moriarty) into one person, and that's how we get the series' titular character: Ron Kamonohashi, the aforementioned deranged private detective with an affinity to send culprits to their deaths once the confessions are sounded. This, coupled with the fact that he was involved in an incident where he was found guilty, resulted in his detective license being revoked and him being expelled from the detective training academy, thus isolating him in the process. His saviour, who would get him back into sleuthing, is the rather unremarkable Totomaru "Toto" Isshiki, assigned by his superior Amamiya of the Metropolitan Police Department. Toto looks the part of a typical police detective, though he's rather unrefined and looks cowardly at first glance. That is, until Amamiya requested him to look for Ron, to which he slowly improved his craft, playing the part of Holmes's assistant John Watson, sometimes becoming like Holmes himself, and setting the goal of avoiding Ron's supernatural killing instinct for the culprits.
The problem with the entire series, as much as it's being marketed as a Shonen work, is that it's pretty much bread and butter when it comes to detective works. Sure, you have your usual evildoer group that landed Ron being the bad guy in the first place, but the cases are very cookie-cutter to the point that no matter how the case looks and feels, it starts and ends exactly one and the same. There are slight movements when it comes to Ron's overarching motive to sniff out those responsible for his expulsion, but it's very methodical and slow at the same time. Even the other characters that come onboard to both Toto and Ron's sleuthing campaign are really nothing special, made worse by the fact that Akira Amano chose to stick to the tried-and-true tropes of what works and what doesn't and doesn't even improve on her writing at all. It's just a shame that even in ēlDLIVE that the mangaka herself was entering into new territory that feels cheap but fresh, but in the case of Ron Kamonohashi, it looks as if she has just completely given up on writing a compelling work, the likes of which we'll never see the Katekyou Hitman Reborn! revival once again in time to come.
The aspects where I have the least problems are with the production and music. In-house director Shota Ibata did decent with Diomedea on the production side of things, which looks good, but honestly, this is pretty much what I've expected for anything out of the studio. The music is also decent, with Unison Square Garden and Hockrockb's OP and ED songs, though not particularly memorable.
What's even worse is that we had a detective series in the form of novelist Yuugo Aosaki's Undead Girl Murder Farce last season, and I declared that as my new favourite detective series of all time, being a masterpiece work. So going forward, the detective sleuthing bar is quite high, and no matter how many seasons the production committee decides to pump out of this (since Season 2 has already seemingly been confirmed before the anime started), it'll never change my perception that Akira Amano's newest series, if you take it as anything BUT a detective-themed story, its comedy will definitely either be or not be for you.
Be it as it may, Akira Amano has already lost her magic, and Ron Kamonohashi, is an abject failure on a crime-solving mystery level. Such a shame, but I'm not surprised at all.

It was fine, but really not that good. I've always loved watching sleuth related animes / dramas, but this really wasn't done that well. While I often turn my brain off watching detective things so I can fully enjoy them cracking the cases, this anime didn't give me any thrill. I was basically able to guess all the culprits way ahead of time, and there was no interesting plot twist, until a certain one that had completely no foreshadowing. While Ron is probably supposed to be somewhat eccentric and funny, I thought he was mainly just incredibly weird. For Toto, I had hope that he wouldgrow into his own as a detective, but either there was not enough time in 13eps for him to do that under Ron's shadow, or he was never destined for character development.
The cases were nearly all 1 episode ones, except for a particular few which were slightly more interesting. There are no connection between each cases, and were basically stand alone episodes. I thought the connection between each cases/episodes could've been done way better.
Then there's the magic bit which I find annoying, why was magic even incorporated into an anime about sleuthing? And it's funny how Toto just can't help but wait until the last milisecond to do something about this everytime it happens.
It was just up until the last episode that things started to get a little bit more interesting, but at this point, I have no motivation to continue on to season 2, where hopefully there is a more interesting plotline.
But while I've gone on about how terrible this anime was, I still slightly enjoyed it as a time-passing thing, but only watch this if you really have nothing else to do or watch. The only reason I didn't drop this was because it wasn't entirely bad enough for me to stop watching.

Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions is a fun show. That's mostly what it is. It's not a masterpiece, and doesn't need to be. If one watches it with the expectation of witnessing mind-blowing mysteries, they will be sorely disappointed. Most of the mysteries in this season seem rather predictable, but some end up having a certain twist, all of which are both believable and realistic. However, that is but one part of the show. Isshiki and Ron are two sides of the same coin : they are plagued by loneliness. The difference between them is that, while Isshiki mixes well with his colleagues and is mostly cast asideby superiors for his lack of skill, Ron lives life as a recluse due to his past with sleuthing.
Ron is basically an eccentric Sherlock Holmes... so he's basically Sherlock Holmes (he turns out to be a descendant of both Holmes and Moriarty so that's something). He goes about sleuthing with his own twist : he wishes to "avenge" the dead. He seemingly converses with the corpse, goes over everything that could have happened, and then it suddenly all seems to click together in a satisfying manner. It makes the viewer think, but also guides those who switch their brain off through the mystery.
Most mysteries are covered in an episode or two, and that helps the series as it makes it incredibly well paced. Most main characters have their own personalities, and feel like actual characters rather than gimmicks made for comedic purpose. On that note, most of the comedy feels natural and is actually funny. Jokes are mostly non-repetitive, and are almost never forced.
The compelling parts of the story are not massively explored : we don't know much from Ron's past apart from the Bloody Training Incident and the House of M is not prevalent in this season. However, the show focuses more on its existing characters, makes them build friendships and business relations, rather than rapidly expanding its cast in its overflowing ambition.
The art in this show is not too different from the standard. While great, it is quite similar to other art styles of most other shows. What it absolutely is, is polished. Most scenes are really well animated, and the character designs themselves are somewhat innovative. Sometimes, the music is standard. Other times, it is absolutely stunning, especially the violin sequences. Above all, music complements the scenes rather than making them. While not something that appeals to everyone, the season does what it sets out to do, and does it extremely well.

Not very sure how I feel about this piece, it establishes itself in the detective genre but how the main characters solve the crimes is sometimes far-fetched and questionable (fairly predictable I would say). Some of the plot feels very forced as well, just written up to advance the story/make the characters more legit..etc. However the show is fairly entertaining and has a good pace. It does incorportate some sort of a semi 'supernatural' element towards to the end with the underlying storyline. Not sure where they are heading with that but looking forward to see if they come out with another season.

It was a good anime, however, can't really tell you "yea, it was amazing, dig in and you will enjoy it!". In fact anime has its positive parts but also some mistakes and cliché. First, there is some connection towards one of the famous detectives and stories from the books. I get the idea of the story and author who tried to build upon that, but I personally didn't find it fascinating. More like I had "what? why?" moment when there started being some hints around it. As it really didn't develop story any further and it's more likely just some base concept to build on.Which is a pitty, because even without that it could be a very solid anime.
Second, it lacks of some funny moments. There are a few of them, not enough yet... Despite being a detective story, you still should have some level of humour in it.
Third, detective stories on their own are nice, however, anime is skipping some important parts while searching for clues and such. When you make a detective story, you want to captivate reader's/watcher's attention and drag him into the story. And that didn't always happen here. Some stories simply didn't care about this aspect, some stories did it well.
Fourth, main characters are really well built and it's creating a very funny yet serious duo. At first I thought I will find this boring, after all you have mastermind detective able to solve anything but can't be solving mysteries, on the other hand you have quite simple guy who isn't at his level but is something as his puppet. I had my doubts but it works well together.
It's a good anime but I have really mixed feelings from it and I am a bit scared about another season, as this entire concept can go down really really fast. I would like to see another season of this but only if it will be at least the same quality to uncover some wider story and character development of characters. 13 episodes weren't enough for such things and it's possible that the next season could make things better as well as worse.
I am a huge fan of mystery stories, detectives and such, yet this anime created some doubts inside of me and can't really say it's really nice, perfect or amazing. For now it's "good" and let's see what future will bring to us.

I think this'll be the shortest review I've written. Therefore, "Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri". If I consider this as a comedy and detective - it was quite good, I laughed a lot and tried to guess the mysteries with them (sometimes even simultaneously guessed which imo is not an advantage for the series of this genre). The art is beautiful (I'm just a fan of handsome feminine men and bossy women). The OST is good. And the plot smoothly adds some main mysteries we still have to solve in the season 2. However, was it worthy of my time? Not sure. Would I recommend youto watch it? 2 options:
1) yes, if you're looking for something simple and enjoyable to some extent
2) no in all other cases.
You get to choose.

Promising Detective Anime Looks good the synopsis. Always enjoy detective or cop anime where slice of life and comedy mixed well. Hope this is the case too. Another good thing about this cop or crime anime is the cases being showcased in the series. This breaks the monotonous feel of the series. The only thing constant is the development of the partnership plus a few supporting characters namely the chief of the investigation section 1. By the end of the series, you most likely would like to have another series to see how the partnership went. And hopefully the studio will grant that wish.

This is a good anime but... The anime itself its quite relaxing. Its a show that you can watch one episode and leave it and Come back a couple of days and continue, or have in the background while doing something Else. Its not super exciting that it draggs you in, and you feel like you gotta watch the whole anime within one day, but its interesting enough that you somewhat want to continue watching. Its like pokemon where each episode have one spesial happening in the episode and then the continueation of his life/Journey goes on. I feel the backstory of Ron is the mainfocus here, which in the end of this season is really leading up to us getting this explained In the next season. If this make sense tho...
Also very confused about why they introdusert a character early on, made a deal with him to help his family but then let us wait 4 ep before the deal is put ti action. I understand that it would have an Connection towards the ending of the season, but why introdusert him so early when we arena seen him for later on regardless? That was just weird in my opinion.
Overall if you want an anime that is decent, but still fine, not taking too much brain cappasaty or you just want something in the background while cleaning or crafting i do action recommand this one.
Tho i do also believe The next season will be better has we dive into more of the background story of the main characters.
Also outtro music is so beautiful and the video aswell of the girl singing with northen light ...wow!!!!
Godslayer27
Is a series about this pair isshiki totomaru and kamonohashi ron who goes resolving different murder cases along the series with the last one doing most of the work and leaving totomaru as a comedy relief and like a counterpart persona wise to balance the chemistry between these two. With a format of being episodic most of the cases are solved on a single episode (leaving some exceptions to the rule) , most of them are kinda mediocre because the actual solving part and the whole thing revolving about the case just happen on the last 10 minutes being the first half just pure comedy makingthis series as a whole 50% mistery and 50% pure comedy, that together with just trying to encompass everything on mere 20 minutes makes for simple and rather forgetabble episodes.
As you are moving forward the series also tries to shed some light and delve on the past of our protagonist kamonohashi ron which you could say start building up the main (and to me the most interesting) plot of it, there are little "good" cases like the observatory one which worth the redundancy last more than just 1 episode and also serves as starting point to what is gonna be the main story.
Tries to add more interest also with the addition of some more fictional elements like the supernatural power of kamonohashi ron though doesnt make up for pretty flat characters that just mentioning our protagonists neither of them are to say more than just some steryotype even going so far to say that from these two totomaru is the worst not even a single substantial change or development since the first to the last episode is just there like a filler.
The thing kinda at the end introduce something related to sherlock holmes and moriarty on his own way and interpretation which leaves you with a hook for what it coming.
Sounds wise nothing really to mention, op and end are decent enough, animation is fine on these aspects i cannot complain really.
I would decribe it like a very light series character and story wise that might work well as accompaniment/sidedish if you are watching something more heavy and that requires more thinking and attention, is fine and entertaining for some moments but is very far from been an staple for any of the generes that is trying to be.
