Heaven's Memo Pad

People who finished formal education were viewed as successful during the last few decades. NEETs, often known as those not in school, employed, or in training, are now having booming success. These success stories have a lot to do with internal factors. Some people achieve success without formal degrees due to innate traits like superior intelligence and average-to-good willpower. These are some of the tales of people who occasionally do not fit into society. This is the perfect narrative for you if you appreciate such fantastic stories.

"Heaven's Memo Pad" was written by Seishi Minakami, with music by Taku Iwasaki, and directed by Katsushi Sakurabi. A Japanese light book series with illustrations by Mel Kishida and written by Hikaru Sugii served as the inspiration for this 12-episode animation. Between January 2007 and September 2014, ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint released nine volumes. Studio J.C. Staff created the series, and Siren Visual, Sentai Filmworks, and MVM Films were all granted licenses. The first networks to broadcast it were CBC, AT-X, MBS, Tokyo MX, TV Saitama, and TV Kanagawa. Initially broadcast between July 2, 2011, and September 24, 2011. Each episode lasted 26 minutes and pertained to the mystery, comedy, drama, and psychological genres. It was given the R – 17+ rating for its violence and profanity.

The Lantis company created three drama CDs. On July 8, 2009, the first, named Oshare Sagi-shi no Matsuro, was made available. Utahime no Kiken na Angle, the second, was made available on May 7, 2010. On November 9, 2011, a third drama CD called Shutter Chance no Uragawa was published, using the same voice actors as the anime. Between the August 2010 and September, 2012 editions of Dengeki Daioh from ASCII Media Works, a manga adaptation with illustrations by Tiv was serialized. Between April 4, 2011, and August 27, 2012, three tankobon volumes were published under the Dengeki Comics banner of ASCII Media Works.

Although Narumi Fujishima first appears to be a typical high school student, he is actually a pessimistic outsider. He had to switch schools frequently because of his father's job, so he could never integrate into society. When his cheerful classmate Ayaka Shinozaki coerces him into joining the gardening club, Narumi meets the brilliant hacker Alice, who lives alone above Hanamaru. In this ramen store, Ayaka works part-time. Then he learns that Alice owns a unique private detective service and that all of her coworkers identify as "NEETs" (Not in Education, Employment, or Training).

When Narumi joins the NEET detective agency because of a personal connection to a criminal case, he quickly becomes involved in the dangerous investigations carried out by the mismatched team of detectives while also attempting to find the crime syndicate that appears to have enigmatic ties to Alice.

The fantastic animation "Heaven's Memo Pad" demonstrates how a little girl may resolve many legal issues. Being a detective doesn't depend on your age. All you need are sharp eyesight and wits. The main character is quite proud of herself. She is a NEET detective, not simply a detective in general.

The plot of "Heaven's Memo Pad" is formulaic and unique. The first episode begins predictably: a regular high school student unintentionally runs into weird individuals or occurrences, becomes intrigued, and eventually becomes engaged. Don't let this clichéd introduction deter you! The remaining anime episodes make up for it and highlight its depth. The Angel Fix case is unquestionably a climax and one of the best story arcs in anime history.

Despite being a detective anime, "Heaven's Memo Pad" is rife with themes more commonly seen in shounen (particularly fight or sports) anime, such as love, friendship, and resilience. There is a lot of action as well, and much like in real life, many issues are resolved via force rather than just brains.

Although the characters are generic, the anime takes a lot of time to characterize each individual connected to each incident. Even still, the characters of Alice, Major, Hiro, and Tetsu lacked depth and mainly served as plotters by solving cases.

"Heaven's Memo Pad" is more than just a loli genius and some pretend NEETs. It's an anime that invests a lot of time and energy into building a fantastical yet realistic world and populating it with some of the most lovable characters ever to appear in anime. Each mystery's narrative is captivating and intriguing, and the characters develop and change throughout the anime. This is near perfection, as you'll find in decent detective animes.

The animation and art quality are unreasonably excellent for a show of this kind. Although character designs are fundamental, everything is meticulously done and consistent. There is occasional sloppiness when characters are viewed up close, although this is only apparent since typical scenes are so detailed and fluid. The aesthetics are significantly superior overall. The series has strong production values, with excellent sound, visuals, and storytelling.

I didn't even miss the opening or closing themes because they are both engaging melodies that match the program well. "Kawaru Mirai" by ChouCho serves as the title theme, while "Asunaro" by Kenichi Suzumura serves as the closing theme. Every character's voice is exactly matched, and the accompanying music is passable.

Like any series, getting drawn in from the start could be challenging. There are hundreds of anime that did just that and went on to earn millions of fans. This short 12-episode series is one of them. Considering how quick it is, the anime offers a gripping story that is simple to follow. The narrative is terrific, the art is outstanding, and the characters are all wonderful. I like how the characters changed during the series and how the anime handles situations and problems that occur in real life. Recommended!
