So I went in to The Millionaire Detective episode 1&2 with zero ex po expectations but turns out it's so much entertaining to watch
Art style and the Characters design are really good and both OP and ED are good too

Daisuke Kambe, a detective with an unlimited amount of money, joins the Modern Crime Prevention Headquarters. Rather than solving cases in a conventional manner, Kambe mostly solves them using his money and other materialistic things. This greatly annoys Haru Kato, his partner.
If I talk about the storyline, the anime takes time to introduce the setup and the various characters. The plot starts progressing somewhere around the 5th episode. Nevertheless, even in the initial episodes, we are being constantly given hints regarding what we are going to see in the upcoming arcs. But it was around 5th episode or so, do we realise that the show is not something like Detective Conan or the File of young Kindaichi. In fact, the plot mainly revolves around the main and the recurring characters only, the detectives. They are directly and very much involved in the incidents or the cases, which this anime intends to follow. The show makes you curious and impatiently wait for the next episode. Till the very end, it remains unpredictable. Despite the twists, the ending is very subtle yet satisfying.
Daisuke Kambe would remind you of Bruce Wayne, who uses his wealth and futuristic technology to solve the mysteries. For the first few episodes, he looks perfect and almost at the God-level but after couple of episodes, we gradually get to see his human side as well. Not just that, soon it is also revealed that even with the boundless money and the technology, he too has his limitations and will have to work to overcome them. Soon after that, we get to know his motives as well and why he joined the police. Not just him, we also realised what Haru Kato and Chosuke are upto.
The opening and the ending songs of this show are catchy and relaxing. The OSTs sound very 'detective-like'(something that would match this genre). The animation is also good.

To be honest, watching this series was such a unique experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The MCs solve various crimes at the beginning of the show to help acclimate viewers before introducing the major plotline later on. Daisuke and the overall idea of Balance Unlimited appeal immediately. His self-satisfied smirk, which makes it difficult to dislike him, never gets old to me when he throws money around to fix his issues.
In actuality, one of my top three favorite male characters right now is Daisuke. This series features some really amazing characters. But Kato and Daisuke are unquestionably the show's high point.

Torn between the concepts of "fan-service" anime series and "low-key" mystery
anime series. I hope they do not bail me on the "mystery" part.
There are only 2 episodes so far and i love it! The animation, music and plot ;) is really good and entertaining. I dont know why it has so low rating right Now (7,6), i think it deserves at least an 8. I m really looking forward to the next episodes, this anime really thrills you.
