Nonetheless, it’s a diverting story, and we’re given an introduction to a few more character traits. It’s a fictional city, so the audience can’t really deduce the daughter’s location if they don’t know where anything is.

As with the first episode, the mystery presented here isn’t the best, and I think that’s due to the fact that once we leave the company president’s yard, there’s not much the viewer can do to play along anymore. Of course, this was the first episode of the show that I ever saw, so whenever I watch it, the nostalgia comes flowing back. Masatomo Sudō, this episode’s animation director, does a great job here with the character designs (Everybody’s so cute and round!), and the scene in which Shinichi convinces Professor Agasa that he’s become a child again is one of my favorite moments in the series. Our two-part series opening concludes here, and it’s very entertaining.
