Their only moments too. Honestly, its time for Genta to be cool. Ayumi and Mithsuhiko are likeable already.Osaka Detective wrote:I think the DB's best moments are...
- Bank Robbery Case
- Tenth Passenger
- Captured in Her Eyes
- Kaito related episodes
- Won't Forget 1 milimetre

Similar experience. It was on the menu at a Chinese/Japanese restaurant so I decided to see what the fuss was about. Unagi is indeed quite good.User 4869 wrote:Just ate Unagi today. I bows down to Genta's preference.

Detective Boys cases also have a higher tendency to deviate from the usual murders: codes, non death mysteries, kidnappings, etc. Finally, they take a plot role that adult characters can't plausibly take: they are not secretive and they can be impulsive, do dangerous, silly, and illogical things, and come to zany conclusions. It's a breather from the adult/detective style of thinking.

I must admit, your logic is sound, Chekov. I never thought of it this way.
