Tantei ga Hayasugiru (2018)

One of the most original (if not ouright THE most original) "mystery" EVER. And given how I'm almost 50 and I've been a fan of the mystery genre ever since I was a kid, you can rest assured I've been exposed to a pretty fair share of those, LOL! ^__^;
The title says it all, really, as it could be translated (with a lil' bit of freedom) as "Detective in Advance" ("早すぎる" / "Hayasugiru" literally means "premature", "(too) early/fast"): what we have here is a detective that doesn't actually *solve* crimes; he uses his gray cells and his super deductive skills to *prevent* crimes from happening! Such a great character (managing, on the one hand, to dearly homage Sherlock Holmes, and on the other hand, to hilariously mock him - oh, boy, those gowns he wears! ^_____^), so tremendously well scripted and at the same time so brilliantly portrayed by the ML, Takito Kenichi! But the very same thing can be said of all the main characters/cast: Mizuno Miki is also hilariously perfect as this kind of "Mary Poppins on steroids", just as Hirose Alice is as the FL! And the supporting cast did a great job too, with a particular mention for Katahira Agisa.
So, a really great script, with original mystery plots and absolutely hilarious comic relief moments, some great acting, some very nice music, quality directing/editing and photography...what else could we ask for?
Perfect 10 all the way, as far as I'm concerned! ^___-
