who got kicked off the division to work with the Modern Crime Prevention Task Force&period; We&&num;8217&semi;re never told why specifically&comma; but i&&num;8217&semi;m sure that will be brought up in subsequent episodes&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The day the task force is faced with a potential assassination&comma;

center&semi;">Episode Analysis<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>The first episode emits a sort of duality between two protagonists&comma; one of lower status&comma; but a strong sense of justice&comma; and one who&&num;8217&semi;s idea of justice is a mystery and only seems to want to solve issues with his sheer monetary prowess&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>And whereas Haru appears to know what&&num;8217&semi;s right from wrong and even helps some unfortunate criminals from plummeting to their doom in the van carrying the bomb&comma; Daisuke is more of a cold person who only seems to be doing this for fun&period; This clearly shows when Haru hangs off the bridge in need of help after saving the criminals&comma; yet Daisuke just smiles and does nothing to help him&period; When Haru returns to confront him on it&comma; he merely replies with&comma; &&num;8220&semi;How Much&quest;&&num;8221&semi; So far&comma; it&&num;8217&semi;s clear the creators intend to portray Daisuke as a jerk&period;

center&semi;">Final Thoughts<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>Smug Self-satisfying sociopaths aside&comma; the anime has the potential to be great&period; Not only does it offer an adequate amount of slapstick comedic events&comma; but the animation and direction of the series also come off as quite satisfying&comma; especially with the aesthetic and music played between each scene&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>It succeeds in giving the anime a Noir crime detective drama appeal you won&&num;8217&semi;t see in most other anime these days&period; And Whereas the opening showcases glitz&comma; glamour&comma; and wealth&comma; the ending shows off the two protagonists in a more detective-style sequence&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Overall&comma; The Millionaire Detective has turned out to be one of the season&&num;8217&semi;s strongest start so far&period; The light humor&comma; flashy aesthetic&comma; refreshing sound design&comma; and intriguing premise seem quite captivating to most and even trending in parts of the community so far&period; I look forward to what more it brings to the table&comma; as if it continues on this path&comma; it could easily be <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;anime-impressions-tower-of-god&sol;">one of the season&&num;8217&semi;s<&sol;a> best&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><strong>Have you seen The Millionaire Detective&quest;
