Did you know Edit. Trivia Averaged Connections Followed by Kindaichi shonen no jikembo: Shanghai ningyo densetsu User reviews 1 Review. Top review. A Must Watch for Detective Fans. The basic premise of this series is simple: a high school detective helps the police solving cases usually murder , with a side-theme of young love.

I think this is the best of the genre, for several reasons. Firstly, all cases are well-developed at least the original series, the reboot - Kindaichi R may be less so , usually having a episodes arc and intricate methods. Secondly, the characters are well-developed. There is no superhero rescuer well, one of them is, but he usually took a supportive role , which makes the story Thirdly, audiences are usually given full information as the detective, allowing themselves to work out a plausible theory.

Fourthly, and perhaps most admirably, each action serves a pragmatic function and is acknowledged as such. Many shows of this genre offer exhilarating plots just to serve a underlining theme and stimulate viewers' senses e. The genius of Kindaichi is that these actions all serve a practical function which is explained at the end i.

This makes the whole series more realistic and looks extremely rounded. I'm sure true fans of detective fiction would appreciate the last two qualities very much. FlorisX92 Jun 23, Details Edit.

He would be having a great time, too, if it weren't for the suspicious man next to him Kindaichi is on a treasure-hunting reality show with the goal to find a hidden ton of gold bullion, but he and the other contestants and staff don't realize they're being stalked by a murderous masked figure who may be an alchemist!

Making matters worse is the fact that they're trapped on an isolated island with no means of communication! The bodies start piling up in the mansion on a solitary island. And when one member is murdered inside of a locked room, the only possible suspect is Reika-chan?! The Alchemist has already committed four murders, but Kindaichi is determined that there be no more.

Hajime and Akechi team up to expose Captain Shida's killer Whatever the case, it leads to a situation where the plane itself including the hundreds of passengers inside is put in a perilous position and only one person has a shot of saving them all One of Kindaichi's earliest cases is a delicate situation as the year-old Hajime is on the trail of Miyuki's missing panties and watch from a campground.

Complicating matters is the fact that Hajime himself is one of only three suspects, all of whom seem to have an ironclad alibi.

In fact, it seems like the murderous mastermind wants to do away with all of the members. Kindaichi unmasks the Game Master, reveals their murderous motive, and shows how their tricks were done. But will the game of death claim one more victim?

When he wakes up, he's walking down the hallway of an empty building, and there's a dead body in the room behind him After everyone sees Kindaichi stab Detective Akechi, he's confined to his room, even if he might have done it in a hypnotic trance.
