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

This series was such a good experience. Art style and the Characters design are really good.

If you love watching thriller detective anime. This one is for you. The characters were plot addictive. Especially the opening and drawing are perfect. One of the most entertaining anime.

The Main characters are so good. Especially Daisuke. He is very handsome , smart and the richest anime character I have ever seen.

Hope there's a season 2. It's really fun to watch.

Alright, so I finished this show today. Let me tell you I liked the first 4 or 5 episodes, I loved the dynamic between Kambe and Katou. Now I need to explain why I didn't like the show as much as I wanted to. So, I expected this show to play off the dynamic between the two main characters and they go try and solve and case and the show just repeats.. like its own formula ya know? But it doesn't do that, like sure the two main characters do interact but I expected more funny scenes?? Something with Kambe doing something stupid and Katou is like bro wth is wrong with you.

Instead the show decides to heavily focus on a certain case in the middle of the show and make it work for the rest of the episodes?? And to me it didn't really pull that off, it's like oh yeah this case uhh here's a little info episode ends. Here's more info and a new character, episodes ends. It felt a little too much for me?? I wanted more of the main duo to not see eye to eye and make it work for the rest of the Season. Am I being too harsh? I don't know, but that's why I can't give it a higher rating.. as some people said it does feel a little rushed.

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.

I think the anime is really great but they rush it a little bit it could be even better if it was 22 episodes long instead of 11.

I normally don't like detective stuff. But this is very good. The characters were plot addictive. especially its drawing and opening are excellent. I advise.

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.

It gives me detective conan, death note vibes if you love watching thriller detective anime . This one is perfect

"The Millionaire Detective" tells the story of two detectives who couldn't be more different. Kato is down-to-earth and honest, while Kambe is the heir to an extremely wealthy family whose bank balance is "unlimited".

The anime is pretty average in my opinion.

I liked a few things, but there were also things that struck me as rather negative.

I'll start with the positive aspects: First of all, the anime has a very beautiful and unique drawing style. The character design is also very positive.

The plot twist at the end also surprised me, even if it's not really the best.

I've read a lot of reviews that are also positive about the animation, but I can't really agree with that. The animation isn't bad, but it's not incredibly good either. It just serves its purpose.

On the one hand, the negative aspects for me are the English dubbing, because it often just sounded flat and monotonous. The anime was also too short with 11 episodes. They should have taken more episodes to deepen the relationship between Kato and Kambe. Because it wasn't that deep, some scenes seemed overly emotional.

But all in all, the anime is worth watching.

A very great anime. I completed it in two days and was hooked. I hope there's a second season!

This anime is about a cop, Haru Kato, and an inspector, Daisuke Kambe, who is a multi-millionaire, who work together on cases despite their differences and constant conflict between them. The anime covers the question of why a millionaire needs to work as an inspector, the bond between Haru and Daisuke, and the mysterious element.

The anime is filled with comedy, excitement, and some serious tone to it at certain points. The first four episodes are just there to give character establishment with a filler criminal case per episode. The main storyline starts in the fifth episode and continues in further episodes. It would have been good if the makers started the story from the first episode or the second. The difference between Haru and Daisuke is written well, establishing that Haru tries to use his skills legally, but Daisuke throws money on technology, people, and things to solve the case.

Haru's trauma from the mistake he made in the past case was also a good addition to his character, as he has redemption later in the story. The backstory of millionaire Daisuke's intentions to become an inspector was written well. The millionaire losing the things he relied on too much and overcoming and paying back the culprit was also a good addition to his character. The twists and turns and the distractions to set up the big reveal were also well-written as the story unfolded in each episode.

The comical scenes were decent, as they made you smile at some points. The technologies Daisuke uses are admirable to watch as he uses them according to the situation. The action scenes were decent, and I can't complain as it is not the genre of the show. The climax was satisfactory to the story.

As I watched it in English dub, the voice acting is good and suits every character well. The animation style is good too. The music is decent, and the comical narration of the show is acceptable.

In conclusion, it's a decent watch to me. If filler portions were cut down, then it would be better than the current one. I suggest if you like a mystery story in comical narration, then check out this anime.

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.

This anime is the best I've ever watched!!! So coolly man!! Handsome daisuke:) richest person I ever see,, also the coolest person I ever seen in my lifetime.. my top 1 priority

I complete the anime two days ago and I love it. the series animation is very good.The main character Daisuke Kambe is just like the Batman but suitless. Both Bruce and Kambe are lost their parents.BGM,ost and credit are 100 percent justice with the show. I luv it

One of the best animes I've seen recently. Great story, great characters. Love the modern setup. James bond on a different level. A must watch. Hope there's a season 2.

This show has been so entertaining involving the journey of two polar opposites - a stone face millionaire taking revenge on his mother's death and a smart cheeky loud mouth who is a ordinary bloke. Both of which partner up to be badass detectives. I found this anime really difficult to distinguish if it's the anime of the year or if its a bit of downer. However I gotta be honest here, 11 friggin episodes doesn't do justice(see what I did there ;D) to make up a great story like I felt the ending was rather too rushed and tbh, the damn other cops working for Haru and Daisuke (except for Cho-San and Takei) are so friggin annoying. Plus they are just literally dumb and useless man! I mean yeah, have a tiny sprinkle of comedy but the jokes they crack open, don't crack open enough.

But that doesn't stop me giving this a chance for season 2 and loving the theme songs in this (honestly love the op and the closing). If you're into the buddy cop genre, go watch this anime folks!

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.

Balance:Unlimited is probably one of the freshest shows I've seen in a while. I really can't think of any anime to compare it to, that I've seen at least. The closest comparison I could come up with is James Bond meets mission impossible with a little bit of Rush Hour. If you're interested in any of those franchises, you need to be watching this.

It's a consistently entertaining and fun show with over the antics, cool characters and a surprisingly good plot/mystery. The first few episodes kind of make it feel like a villain of the week type set up with the two detectives solving cases, apprehending criminals and a light tone, but once you get about halfway through the series the story really gets going and starts to shine.

Cloverworks have yet to disappoint me with their character designs, animation and quality production and Balance:Unlimited is no exception. Character models stay on point throughout and when the show calls for it, the action scenes are great. I think the OST for this one is also quite underrated, it adds a lot to the atmosphere of several scenes.

Overall, Balance:Unlimited has been one of my fave shows of the year, it's a shame the COVID 4 month delay took some of the wind out of its sails, but for those of us who did get to watch it, I think we all enjoyed.

One of the most entertaining anime films of this year. Although it is bereft of complex plot points or any kind of depth in that matter, it makes up for all of its flaws through its charming characters. Along with that, its flashy animation and gimmicky action scenes are enough to make you stick around

It's one of the best detective anime I have ever seen so far.

I really found this show funny, and a nice change in pace from all the serious detective shows. Love the art and character designs too.

I would like too see a season two of this show.
