Been watching moriarty the patriot. Currently about half way through the second season. It's not bad exactly but it's not really gripping me either. I also feel like they kind of jumped the shark in 2nd season in what had been an extremely grounded anime thus far.

I feel the show fails as a mystery anime. Whilst there clearly are mysteries, the solution is generally presented alongside the set up so theres no time for the viewer to even attempt to solve the mystery themselves. A lot of the inferences they make are also absurd.

So without mystery what even is the show? Well not action, there have been like 3-4 action scenes in 18 episodes and the action is often either off camera or ridiculous. I guess it's a political thriller? Except without the thriller part or really any political depth aside from bad rich people are bad.

Theres not really anything about the show I dislike, but theres not much that I like either. It's getting notably harder to keep watching more episodes.

I still think the only good mystery anime are hyouka and higurashi. It's a shame really, cause I quite enjoy good mysteries but I feel like anime have real trouble with both that and horror.
