Mystery Anime
Mystery anime is all about that "rewind the scene because I missed a clue" feeling, whether it's murder cases, mind games, or conspiracies hiding in plain sight. *Detective Conan* basically taught a whole generation how anime handles episodic cases and long-running plot threads at the same time.
Common Misconception
Mystery anime is just edgy detectives solving murder-of-the-week cases.
Underrated Pick
