The good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> is yes, the relationship duo between the detective and the good man is unique and interesting. The bad news is the actual mysteries aren\u2019t interesting.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Ron Kamonohashi likes to talk to the corpses of murder victims. He lays down next to them, he asks them to tell him their story, and with his superior detective skills, he always deduces who the murderer is. Unfortunately, he\u2019s also afflicted with a strange superpower beyond his control. After identifying the murderer, he can compel them to kill themselves in retribution for their crime. Enter Toto, a police detective who isn\u2019t respected by any of his coworkers. After meeting, Toto and Ron form a partnership to solve crimes together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"aligncenter jetpack-lazy-image\" alt=\"\" width=\"1271\" height=\"704\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/F7eaQm_XgAE-1Zv?format=jpg&amp;name=large&amp;is-pending-load=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/F7eaQm_XgAE-1Zv?format=jpg&amp;name=large\" alt=\"\" width=\"1271\" height=\"704\"\/><\/noscript><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The first thing I liked about the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> was Ron\u2019s quirkiness. At a certain point, the \u201cquirky detective\u201d trope starts growing predictable as many iterations are just Sherlock Holmes copycats. They don\u2019t communicate, they observe quickly, and they don\u2019t respect authority. Ron is none of those three, and his enjoyment of lying next to corpses and talking to them as if they were alive is truly unique to the genre. It makes his r<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ort with the kind, albeit na\u00efve Toto endearing, and their relationship is what made the series worth watching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">However, the mysteries got boring as the series continued. Part of the fun when watching mysteries is trying to figure out the answer yourself, but the connections can often feel either so far apart or so obvious that the resolution doesn\u2019t feel satisfying. There is an exciting twist in the middle of the series that hints at a larger plot beyond the episodic mysteries the duo solve, but that was only used as a hook for the second season rather than to strengthen the first season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Additionally, with a rather weak plot, the boring technical aspects made the series forgettable as the story continued. There is little to no uniqueness in the execution and direction of the series, and the soundtrack doesn\u2019t work in many of the scenes. Moments regarding the murderer\u2019s reveal sometimes felt underwhelming because the music didn\u2019t make me feel the gravity of the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1265px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" width=\"1265\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/F8mDPWJWgAAVKeL?format=jpg&amp;name=large&amp;is-pending-load=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazy-fallback=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/F8mDPWJWgAAVKeL?format=jpg&amp;name=large\" alt=\"\" width=\"1265\" height=\"709\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ron and Toto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only thing upholding the series is Ron and Toto\u2019s interactions \u2013 largely thanks to the voice actors\u2019 natural chemistry with each other. We\u2019re used to hearing Junya Enoki as the shounen <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/anime-manga\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"6\" title=\"Anime || Manga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anime<\/a> protagonist, especially with his breakout role as Itadori from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JUJUTSU KAISEN<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but he really nails Toto\u2019s character. Serious yet oblivious. Kind yet exasperated. Toto has a wide range of emotions, and Enoki is expertly able to bring Toto to life with his voice acting. Youhei Azakami has great chemistry with Enoki in his performance as Ron. Although less impressive than Enoki, he manages to successfully sell the quirky speaking-to-corpses habit that Ron has.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I personally think <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ron Kamonohashi\u2019s Forbidden Deductions <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is a missed opportunity in adaptation. While I\u2019m certain that the various episodic mysteries happened in the same order in the series as they did in the chapters, I think the production team definitely could\u2019ve moved things around or worked in some foreshadowing of the plot twist to keep it relevant.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s active worldbuilding in the series with a detective academy called BLUE and a crime family responsible for some of the most heinous offenses in the country. However, they often fall by the wayside in favor of small mysteries that matter little in the larger scheme of things. When I think of teams that managed to successfully elevate source material (i.e., <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">86: Eighty-Six <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bocchi the Rock<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), it\u2019s because of their willingness to shift story elements, add new plot lines to enhance the characters and main narrative, or cut down elements to tighten the pacing. These adaptations are not relegated to a singular genre, and I am left wondering how much more fun this series would be if <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ron Kamonohashi\u2019s Forbidden Deductions <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">had the same treatment. After all, the plot twist in the middle is a very exciting one. Right when I was getting bored of the episodic mysteries, it instantly won me back over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>Rating<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Plot: 6 (Multiplier 3)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Characters: 7 (Multiplier 3)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Art\/Animation: 6 (Multiplier 2)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Voice acting: 7<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Soundtrack: 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b><i>FINAL SCORE: 64<\/i><\/b><\/span>\n            <\/div>\n<p><script>\n                (function(d, s, id) {\n          var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n          if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n          js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n          js.src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.9&appId=269442613521839\";\n          fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n        }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n        <\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
