About Magic Kaito 1412

Magic Kaito 1412 (まじっく快斗1412) arrives as an action anime by A-1 Pictures (2014), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: Kaito Kuroba, a normal teenage student whose father is often absent. When his father dies under enigmatic 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 kicks off 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.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Conan Edogawa (Minami Takayama) and Ai Haibara (Megumi Hayashibara) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 24 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
