Intriguing premise. Exposition/revelation-driven so the structure is a little crude but pacing is well-managed enough. Solid series.

A nicely produced spin-off that tells the same story from the perspective of two young private investigators Rena and Sato.

Intriguing crime-mystery as a 41-year-old walrus taxi driver tries to unburden himself of the consequences of a missing high school girl.

Not bad ideas but clumsy plotting.

Not bad but nothing spectacular. Some of the stories try too hard.

Not intended to be a fast-paced action-packed thriller. Steady pacing. Not overly stylized. Impersonal but still interesting enough.

Not intended to be a shoot ’em up but rather a mystery-thriller. Starts off a little trippy but becomes a little too predictable.

Starts off strongly and it is intriguing as a psychological thriller. Overall, not particularly memorable.
