Holy moly, anime fans! The wait is almost over! 🎉 Kadokawa just dropped an absolutely incredible new promotional video for Detectives These Days Are Crazy! (Mattaku Saikin no Tantei Tokitara), and we’re completely losing our minds over here!
What’s Got Us So Hyped?
This isn’t just any ordinary detective anime – we’re talking about a generation-gap comedy masterpiece that’s about to take the anime world by storm! Picture this: a legendary detective who’s completely out of touch with modern technology meets a tech-savvy high school girl who becomes his assistant. The chemistry? Absolutely electric!

The Soundtrack That’ll Blow Your Mind!
Opening Theme: “Suffer” by Taiiku Okazaki (because detective work is tough, y’know!)
Ending Theme: “GORI☆GORI Feez e-Girl!!” performed by the characters themselves – Kana Hanazawa (Mashiro) and Tomokazu Sugita (the hilarious “Jolly Old Men”)!
Can we just talk about how GENIUS this casting choice is?!
Voice Cast That’ll Make You Scream!
The all-star voice lineup is absolutely phenomenal:
- Junichi Suwabe as Keiichirō Nagumo (that smooth, detective voice we all love!)
- Kana Hanazawa as Mashiro (the perfect modern girl energy!)
- Tomokazu Sugita as multiple characters (including the wonderfully weird “Jolly Old Men”)
- Aya Hirano as Hana Kazamaki
- Fairouz Ai as Azuha Hoshino
The Story That’s Got Everyone Talking
Here’s the setup that’s got us completely hooked:
Keiichiro Nagumo was once a world-famous detective who could solve impossible cases in minutes. But that was over a decade ago! Now he’s just a regular middle-aged guy who doesn’t even know what a smartphone is! 😂
Enter Mashiro – a determined high school girl who shows up out of nowhere wanting to be his assistant. The result? Pure comedic gold as this mismatched duo tackles mysteries together!

Frequently Asked Questions ❓
While it’s a comedy-detective series, some content might be more appropriate for teens and adults. The humor includes generational gaps and modern references that younger viewers might not fully appreciate.
The episode count hasn’t been officially announced yet, but given the manga’s popularity (15 volumes and counting!), we’re hoping for a substantial season that does justice to this amazing story.
While not officially confirmed, most anime on ABEMA and similar platforms typically offer subtitles. One Peace Books has already licensed the manga in English, so international availability looks promising!
