Well... if i were you i wouldnt watch this series with the mindset of Monster or Patlabor since this anime is strictly detective where usually is a case by case type anime, where everything is based on deductions... maybe a 3 episode case once in a while...

While in Monster there is a general plot and a bigger case behind the small crimes... all cases are connected to one another while in this anime they are mostly standalone cases....


And this series are more light hearted... of course you get your dosage of serious cases, but it is light hearted for the most part...
