Strange+ is a comedic satire based on the manga of the same
name by Verno Mikawa. The series aired
in Japan in the winter of 2014 and ran for 12 episodes.
The Mikuni
Detective Agency is a collection of bizarre people who take odd jobs that
sometimes resemble detective work. its
members are the loli-like older brother Takumi, pretty boy younger brother Kou,
buxom Miwa and beefcake Masamune.
Together they handle all sorts of bizarre requests from guarding
priceless family treasures to acting out action show stage productions.
This 3 minute per
episode series is nothing less than strange.
The humor is scatological and fast paced. There is little over all plot development and
little character development. It’s more
a venue for bizarre scenarios, off beat cosplay and butt humor. That said, for what it’s it worth it can be
mildly entertaining. Part of the
entertainment is the frantic pace and seeing what stupid plot shows up
next. There really is no rhyme of reason
to this series. Thankfully, it’s as
short as it is, coming in at around 40 minutes in total aired length.
This is another of
the growing crop of anime shorts that are being produces for manga that really
shouldn’t have full length shows. I
really can’t figure out what series is similar, perhaps if you liked The Ping
Pong Club this would be up your alley.
If you want to check it out its available on Crunchyroll.
