About Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Specials

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Specials (金田一少年の事件簿SP) arrives as a mystery anime by Toei Animation (2007), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: Kindaichi and the gang are on their way to a hot spring, but get lost and end up at a run down and sinister hotel. They are told that a vampire used to live in the hotel way back.

Also worth knowing: Someone even died (was found with bite marks on the neck). Six years ago a girl was found in the cellar with bite marks on her neck, and the villagers killed her. When one of the guests is killed and Miyuki is attacked by a creature with fangs, it would seem like the vampire is still there...

In a mystery series like this, clues, misdirection and a satisfying reveal are the hook. Hajime Kindaichi (Taiki Matsuno) and Miyuki Nanase (Akiko Nakagawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like piecing together a puzzle, put it on your list. At 2 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
