Psychic Detective Yakumo Psychic Detective Yakumo involves a lot of supernatural stuff and mystery. Though from the cover and title, this anime looks plain. Let’s get right into it! Psychic Detective Yakumo is a unique anime series. It’s not straightforward, dull, or boring. So today, it’s Psychic Detective Yakumo that we will discuss. We have a sophomore, Haruka Ozawa, whose life is getting weirder day by day. One of her friends committed suicide, some spirit possesses the other one, and the third one might also lose her life. She’s so stressed out about everything until Yakumo Saito, a fellow student, comes into her life. Yakumo Saito has a strange red eye that allows him to talk to the dead. However, a few dead people keep doing disturbing things even after dying. Yakumo is interested in the mysteries behind the people murdered or killed wrongly. Now, both Yakumo and Haruko must work together to reveal the secrets behind the murder of people. Will they be able to do that without getting hurt themselves? The story of this anime has everything that a good anime requires. It has that complicated main character with a complex background, a caring and understanding love interest, and mysteries involving ghosts. Although the storyline is quite simple, it’s gratifying. The events are well planned. Each episode reveals more information about Yakumo and his past. Everything in this anime is executed. There are no fillers or plot holes. This is what a good anime should include. One thing that we found interesting about Psychic Detective Yakumo is its way of keeping people hooked to it. We’re very eager to watch each episode of this anime and curious about what will happen next. It keeps us at the edge of our seats. There are many unexpected twists throughout this anime. These are a few things that make a mystery and supernatural anime a success. Overall, the plot of Psychic Detective Yakumo has no flaws. The pacing is perfect, and the supernatural and mysterious aspects are excellent. There are no unnecessary complications in the plot. There are a few flaws in the character department. All of the characters are utterly alien to the viewers. We can’t make ourselves care about most of the characters in this series. Also, our villain is not great. His motives are never revealed. He’s very uninteresting, and we don’t care about him. This was all about the side characters. Now, the main cast is exciting. They’re the people who go through character development and have a certain level of complexity in them. All of the main cast is unique from each other. They’re delightful to watch. However, some of them may appear to be typical anime characters. But overall, the main characters are well-written and well-made. The side characters could’ve been improved, though. The background of this anime looks pretty detailed and well-drawn. However, the characters seemed flat and dull. Though the design was quite realistic, it still didn’t seem very complex. Their shading was also not done right. The colors used for them were not very bright either. Maybe that’s why they seemed flat and plain. The good thing about the animation is that it keeps switching between dark and light tones according to the mood. The style fits perfectly with the air every time. There are very few fight scenes in this anime, but they are incredibly realistic. There are many supernatural effects as well that look amazing. So, overall, the art department did a great job creating clean and simple art. Nothing is too flashy or out of the ordinary here. However, the character designs could’ve been better. Though the opening and ending soundtracks are not excellent or catchy, the voice actors did a fantastic job voicing all the characters. All of them sound good, and their voices suit their personalities. The background music is okayish as well. Overall, the music of Psychic Detective Yakumo could’ve been more interesting to suit its tone and vibe. Old-style detective lovers are going to love this series. Though this anime has some flaws, it’s still above many mystery anime in the anime industry. The ending of this anime is not too outrageous as most endings of detective or mystery anime are. Everything is well balanced. We highly recommend watching the anime if you’re a fan of detective stories or solving mysteries.
