Time to put on your detective caps, this is We Are Milky Holmes!
Kazumi-chan and her friend Alice decide one day to become vigilante detectives under the name of Feathers, since they are a great team, but don't have the license from the Academy just yet.
They are a perky bunch, and probably one of the few protagonists to also be fangirls. Their object of adoration is the eponymous Milky Holmes, a group of top-knack detectives.
I like the setup of the episodes, as there is technically no filler episodes. Even the filler is world-building in a way.
It explains about Toys, special powers that only Detectives and Phantom Thieves possess.
They come in all shapes and power levels, and the only restriction is that Police Officers aren't allowed to have them.
I assume this is because they need to be able to make arrests and such on their own merit, although it is never explained.
Speaking of unexplained, this anime at some points assume that you have already seen the two series that come before it.
Since I go in blind on most of my animes, this was a fact I only later got aware of.
While it's not a terrible offender (See Black Rock Shooter for that) it left me a little confused. But thanks to this, I really want to check out the other animes.
Final Score: 8/10
(There usually is a picture here, but I couldn't find any with Alice and Kazumi in them, only the Milkies themselves)
Final Thoughts: As I said, it's the third in a series, so be wary of that before going in. The lack of explaination of some things might be too much.
That being said, if you need a surprisingly dark story with a couple of cute characters, give it a watch.
Especially for the side characters. Keep an eye out for a short, F-bomb dropping police officer. That's all I'll say.
