Writing
Makes you root for the 'villain' without cheap tricks.
Direction
Chess-match pacing between genius rivals.
Production
Victorian aesthetic that actually feels lived-in.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Moriarty as protagonist' trend reflects post-2008 cynicism toward institutions—this anime arrived perfectly timed for Gen Z leftism.
Every case reimagines original Doyle stories from the criminal's perspective; 'The Adventure of the Dancing Men' becomes a tragic queer romance.

Shows like these make me wish that dubbing was more of the thing here in the UK as well. A show like this would absolutely benefit from a proper British dub.
