About The Detective Is Already Dead

Here is what The Detective Is Already Dead (探偵はもう、死んでいる。) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, drama and mystery anime by ENGI (2021). The premise: Thwarting a hijacking with the beautiful, silver-haired detective, Siesta, transforms Kimihiko’s young life. Their success kicks off years of crime-solving and confronting syndicates around the world—until Siesta dies.

Next up: Left with questions, Kimihiko moves on. Now, a new case may open healed wounds as it connects to an assassin, a world conspiracy, and his dead partner! (Source: Funimation) Note: The first episode aired with a runtime of ~46 minutes as opposed to the standard 24 minute long episode.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Kimihiko Kimizuka (Shin Nagai) and Siesta (Saki Miyashita) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by ENGI, so the studio's house style defines how The Detective Is Already Dead looks and moves on screen. The comedy focus matters here: timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Its 6.1/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Shin Nagai as Kimihiko Kimizuka, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2021, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
