I'm pretty sure I watched this special just for the cast! A few of my favorites are: Narimiya Hiroki, Yamada Ryosuke, Arioka Daiki, Kawaguchi Haruna, Haru, and Nichkhun... just to name a few! Narimiya Hiroki is superb at playing the "bad guy", and Yamada Ryosuke is great at being the comedian/funny guy and the detective (although I'm biased since before this I watched Tantei Gakuen Q)

The story was a little creepy, so I'm glad I didn't watch this at night because I am a huge scaredy cat! But, the story was well written! I never once predicted the outcome, never once guessed the suspect, and the story moved at a great pace, I never felt lost through the special and understood pretty much everything. It was great to see how Yamada Ryosuke (aka Kindaichi Hajime) deduced the case and figured out the truth. Although, that could be biased too since I'm on a detective drama kick right now!

This was really great, genuinely scary at times、 maybe because I watch this at night. murder in closed setting [from Agatha Christie] not original but how it was done was original and kept me wondering who was the murderer until near the end。 This was also a story where the psychological aspect and motivation were also a very important part of the story and ”woven” into it very well. The characters as high school students were believable, not like adults playing at
students. The idea of a high school student solving murders looks very improbable but here it was carried off really well with Kindaichi having some nice adolescent touches while very convincing in the side of him using his powerful brain for detection. I liked the comedy touches which relieved the dark side without getting silly or ”slapstick”。Finally the story included a battle of minds between an ”evil genius” and the ”hero genius” Kindaichi which promises to continue as an interesting angle to keep us hooked in future stories [reminds me of Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty in the English stories]. I will be watching other Kindaichi stories。
