Neuro - Supernatural Detective (TV)

(aka Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro)



Genres: comedy, mystery, supernatural
Themes: demons

Plot Summary: Yako's father was murdered in a locked room. She then meets a man named Neuro Nougami who is a demon from Hell who eats "riddles." He forces Yako to act as a detective so he can solve mysteries. Neuro longs to eat the ultimate mystery.

I used the discussion index and forum search, but couldn't find another thread dedicated to this series, so I hope it's OK to start one!

I just finished watching Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro on Hulu (I think ANN also has it up). It was bizarre, but I really liked it and felt like it wrapped up nicely. Has anyone else watched it? What did you think? For those who've read the manga, without spoilers, how does the ending of the anime compare? Is it very different from the manga in general?

[EDIT: Spruced up your opener. -TK]

I'm a fan of mysteries so I really dug the show, even if a lot of the time Neuro just kinda knows the answer without letting the audience try to figure it out with him. Still, the humor was quriky, Yako is a good heroine, and it had plenty of strong character moments. The conclusion of the HAL arc is a prime example.

As for differences from the manga, it's mostly similar. The two major divergences is that in the manga Neuro solves the mystery of Yako's father's murder in the first chapter and the final arc is all anime original.

The manga's final arc is definitely a step above, though the conclusions are pretty similar with spoiler[Neuro going back to the demon world only to come back later. The manga involves a much larger time skip, though.]

I've read about a 4th of the manga and I enjoy it. The anime, from what I've heard they are incredibly different. But, I can't exactly comment on the comparison. But, it's certainly an interesting series.
