This show makes no attempt to build the world or make the setting feel distinctive. I know this may seem odd considering nothing about the premise or promotional material would suggest this show gets that ridiculous, but that’s just it. To say this show contains aliens, mind control, werewolves, and superhuman androids is not a spoiler, because they aren’t treated as mysteries nor presented as reveals. But I didn’t mean to so quickly sweep all that dumb shit under the rug. This is actually genius when you think about it, because now you and the self-insert protagonist don’t have to choose a best girl, and can instead just fuck them both, one in the past, and another in the present. I don’t know if it’s a spoiler to say this, but as the title suggests, the detective is, indeed, already dead, so everything I just described only takes place in flashbacks, and everything happening in present day consists of new, different girls trying to fall on his dick. Middle school loser becoming Discount James Bond, traveling the world fighting international counterintelligence and terror organizations, but also aliens, mind controllers, werewolves, and superhuman androids enjoyed by anyone? Because he does so with a cute detective waifu at his side constantly trying to fall on his dick. It may not be set in an academy, and there may not be an arena for waifu fights, but the essential elements are there, and the show isn’t ashamed of this at all.

I know “The Detective is Already Dead” may sound like an enticing title, but don’t be fooled. “Siesta” is Spanish for “nap.”Īnd this show does nothing but put you to sleep.īut that’s only if you’re lucky, because staying awake is torture. Distraught, Kimizuka tries to leave all memories of her behind, but as he begins to meet more people, it seems that Siesta's influence will never truly die. Unfortunately, after three years of their unpredictable yet enjoyable time together, Siesta abruptly passes away.

Though Kimizuka refuses at first, with Siesta's insistence, he eventually joins her-marking the start of a grand adventure spanning the entire world, preventing multiple threats that could spell doom for humanity along the way. Amid the resulting chaos, however, Kimizuka meets a stunning silver-haired beauty, going by the codename Siesta, who then saves the day.Ĭlaiming to be a legendary detective, Siesta enlists Kimizuka to be her sidekick. One day, as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, a group of unknown men kidnaps him, forcing him to board a flight-where he also encounters a hijacking. Kimihiko Kimizuka has found himself inadvertently entangled in various crimes more times than he can remember, referring to himself as a magnet for trouble.
