About Magic Kaito

If you are hunting for a new adventure series, Magic Kaito (まじっく快斗) deserves a look (2010). The setup goes like this. The premise: Kaito Kuroba, a normal teenage learner whose father is often absent for vaguely defined reasons. When his father dies under unexplained circumstances, he is made aware of his father's concealed identity; a famous international criminal known as International Criminal 1412: the Phantom Thief.

From there, he vows to prevent the organization from gaining immortality, and assumes his father's identity as he begins his quest for the gem. His only clues as to the gem's location are that it glows red under the full moon and that it is a doublet: a gem hidden within a larger gem. Thus, it would have to be a relatively large one with a bizarre history, and always stored in a place that never receives moonlight.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Released in 2010, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
