Songs without Words

To wind down after a long day at lab, I hopped onto crunchyroll (which is honestly one of my favorite websites right now =P) and clicked on a random video on a whim.  I think there was a screenshot of a cute girl or something (predictable?  Ahahha).  The show turned out to be the live-action adaptation of Tantei Gakuen (Detective Academy) Q, and while the opening clip seemed a bit too scary for this hour of night, I found out from the comments that there was an anime adaptation of the same name.  I searched in WK but it turned out, after more searching, that it is listed only under its English name.  Based on the images from ANN, it seemed to be somewhat of a kids’ show, but the “Detective” part had me intrigued.  While it’s certainly not a perfect show (the dialogue isn’t always smooth), it’s pretty entertaining and the cases thus far have been quite enticing and complex already.  While I love Ghost Hunt, I prefer more logical detective stories (vs. supernatural) because I get to think along with the characters (btw, they’re mostly guys).

Sigh, I’ve tried writing mysteries before, but it’s really really hard.  You have to be able to think like a criminal before you can think like a detective =).
