The Domain of Murder OVA is very much like the Detective Conan TV series. (Sorry for talking a lot about Detective Conan, since it's one of my favorite anime and i want to share it with all of you ^^) I'm sure you won't regret spending your time to watch Detective Conan. Despite all that, you can also watch hyouka if you can't watch Detective Conan because of it's episodes.
If you don't have time, you can skip the fillers and just watch the main stories and that's basically what i do. Talking about Detective Conan, it's actually an underrated show because of it's huge number of episode, but based on my experience from watching Detective Conan, the plot is actually good, and like i said above, it's actually got a good romance story between the main and side character. If you like solving mystery and puzzle, both of these anime might be suitable for you and you will find it enjoyable and fun. On the other hand, Detective Conan is not only in school since the mystery is mostly about murder and puzzle.īoth of these anime also got romance about the main and side character where they progress in each episodes. Hyouka mystery is mostly revolving around the high schools. If you like mystery, you might got interested in both of these anime. read moreīoth anime got a same situation where the main characters solve different kind of issues they run into. The difference is Case Closed is episodic with bits of overarching plot seeping in every once in awhile, while Death Note has a few archs, but overall is one story from start to finish.
And Jimmy's endless serach for the Men in Black that streches the series lenght is very similur to L fighting Light. The cat and mouse game between L and Light is very suspenseful and thrilling, and the same for Jimmy's cat and mouse game with the many criminals. L and Jimmy Kudo (Shinichi Kudo) are two of the smartest detective in all of anime and very similur. Both are smart well written series, with very interesting characters. Although neither anime focuses on action, their fast paced deductions, and dramatic scenes will put any action series to shame, as both shows have the punch of an action show, and the intellegence of a character drama (You will feel like your watchign some fast paced action show, although action isn't really present in either show). Both series are filled with mind battles, cat and mouse games, psychological battles, and thier main focus is on a detective trying to put the clues together to capture a criminal.
