Review by Demonskid:
Cute show of some Middle School Kids (they started off in Elementary School) who start a detective club and do their best to solve cases that happen around town. From Missing Bicycles to Ham being mixed up with Beef at a restaurant, these kids do their best to solve the case. Its a cute, short anime (10mintes per episode), worth the watch in between shows.

Based off of the original manga by Seimaru Amagi, and Fumiya Sato, The Files of Kindaichi Returns centers on the Hajime Kindaichi, grandson of the famous detective Kosuke Kindaichi. Though he usually appears to be a regular high school student, when a difficult case arises Hajime, along with his childhood friend Miyuki Nanase, police inspector Isamu Kenmochi, and rival Kengo Akechi, use their sharp deduction skills to solve each mystery.

Before there was Detective Conan, there was Kindaichi. Grandson of a Great (fictional) Detective, Hajime Kindaichi seems to always run into mysterious cases all the time, and in the name of his grandfather, he will solve those cases! Kindaichi Returns continues the original anime with new cases, and even some old cases from the manga that were never animated. If you've seen the original anime, you don't need to be reading this review. If you haven't seen it, well trust me, it's a pretty good show! You might even be able to figure out the criminal before Kindaichi does!

Aoyama the creator of Detective Conan, was requested to write the manga to compete with The Case Files of Young Kindaichi. What came out of the request was High School Detective shrunken down to an elementary student's form. He solves murders and tries to get to the truth behind the organization that caused his age regression, all of this while hiding his true identity from his childhood friend and crush Ran.
Crunchyroll starts at episode 754, so If you haven't seen the episodes up to that point, your best and ONLY bet will be fansubs, seeing as Funimation stopped subbing around season 4-5 and Crunchy started around season 22-23ish. I wish those who need to catch up, great luck.
Due to legal problems, crunchyroll couldn't use the title 'Detective Conan' so they used the American title 'Case Closed.' While they use this title, the show is in Japanese with really good English subtitles. Ran is still named Ran, Shinichi is still Shinichi, and Detective Takagi is still Takagi! No name changes.

There are Sport anime, then there are sports anime where people seem to have 'special powers' that make it less fun to watch.
I dislike normal sports. Mainly because i get tired of watching the ball and the players doing the same thing over and over. If you want to know their drama go get a tabloid. Anime Sport shows, you get to focus on the main character, see how they start off in the sport, see them progress and even see how they fall in love with the club/sport manager.
Haikyu!! has your average person who loves volleyball. He becomes heated rivals with someone on the opposite team in middle school only to become teammates with him in High School. They become the best
(shipping) pair in getting into trouble around the school. From hitting the principals toupee off his head, to puking on a senpai's lap.
With Season 2 soon to finish airing, I'm hoping for a Season 3. The anime stays very true to the manga and is a very good show to watch. How many times can Hinata get away with hitting the back of Kageyama’s head with the ball? Trust me, it's worth the watch. NO SUPER POWERS INVOLVED!
ML! How would you like if we did a Social Group where we post our reviews there so they won't get lost in the threads chatter? =) we talk a lot in here >.>
