MidMid

In this episode, we have another mystery to solve, where Holmes displays his supposed detective skills. These skills, rather than seeming like genuine observation and investigation abilities, appear to be more like random guessing and being right simply because the plot dictates he's correct. This anime definitely tries too hard to sell him as a detective, but it doesn't provide the necessary evidence to make us believe he can actually notice so many details just by observing his surroundings. The villain's motivations are incredibly silly and empty, and the way they let him go is ridiculous. It's also absurd how he reveals his entire plan once cornered, like some kind of Scooby-Doo villain. This anime should ditch the poorly executed mysteries and just focus on being a Kyoto tourism brochure, which is the only thing it does well.
