Deka Wanko Episode 1 Reactions
Crime shows typically have tough men who solve gruesome cases and have a knack for justice. When I saw this my first initial reaction was to laugh. A girl dressed like a goth lolita who has a nose similar to a dog as a rookie detective seemed far fetch. Then I realize it is this concept that brings the comedy element to this show. It did a fine job when it came to laughs, but lose a little color with its mystery. Hopefully the next episode is not as predictable. Then again this is my second time watching this so... not fair. Overall, great episode.
