This show is more intricate and has more depth than the synopsis gives it credit for. I watched this show on a whim, however, I was definitely not let down by that decision. Each crime was a learning experience from many different angles.

The crime/mystery, in general, within each episode was pretty standard to some detective/police/mystery genre shows and movies I've seen before, however, the complete story of this series was something unique and filled with raw, real emotions and genuine talents.

Each episode seemed to fall away from the show's main storyline altogether, to focus on the crime that had happened, however, if you pay attention in each episode then you can definitely see the results of a great cast as they continue to build and create the story.

To be honest, I wasn't sure if Takei Emi was the right fit for an "unemotional, eccentric" weatherperson that just so happened to be a help to the police. Though the more I watched, the more I was completely wrong. I suppose that was because I'm used to seeing her as an upbeat, happy person that I may have been biased, and I'm glad I continued watching; she fulfilled her role spectacularly! I have to say that I am biased toward a few more actors as well: Okura Tadayoshi, Nomaguchi Tohru, Sasaki Kuranosuke, and Maruyama Tomomi. For some reason, they all just seem to fit within the roles they are casted as perfectly; as if that was their real profession.

It was nice to see how detailed the work of a television show, staff, newscaster, host, and weather person was; I've never seen that much attention to detail in a show or movie before. And as someone who likes the detective/mystery/police genres, it is nice to see differences every now and then, instead of something that is overused. I.E.: genius scientist helps the police, genius police, etc... if that makes any sense!

This review probably added more questions than anything, and I hope to clear that up if I edit this one someday; I can only apologize and say this review isn't too coherent because I've been sick for a week. I really do hope more people get the chance to watch this amazing show! The story and cast make this show superb, and very worth it to watch!
