| A very nice anime for me to watch. The stories ran the gamut from interesting fluff to pretty dramatic gore. The teacher should take a chill pill and go to work in a factory or some place without students to guilt out over. All in all....a good 7/10 series. |

| I am of the opinion that anime as a medium is not particularly great when it comes to detective shows. Aside from the classics like 'Detective Conan', Kindaichi's Case Files' or even 'Lupin the Third' to some extent, most of detective animes either go with outlandish plots that make barely sense in their cases or mysteries that are so obvious they become incredibly dull as a result. I guess 'Beautiful Bones' stands right in the middle: cases are rather 'down to earth' - of a slice of life nature most of the time, very humble narrative-wise. These mysteries are not erratic in any way, but they are not so plain either. The writer seemed to have found a right balance in her show. I truly think this so-called 'balance' is what makes the series enjoyable in the first place. As far as Holmesian reimaginings go - which clearly 'Beautiful Bones' is part of - they rarely focus on the daily nature of Holmes' inquiries. They have to be related to a 'Moriarty-like figure', or to 'Irene Adler', or at least to an opponent that is worthy of the great detective's intellect. Yet, most of the canonical adventures are about little mysteries to solve. Sometimes there is no murder, sometimes Holmes takes on a case that turned out to be about literally nothing. Shiori Ota seems to have understood that, and the anime adaptation did it justice. A bit too much justice if you ask me however, since the 'Moriarty-like' figure (yes, of course the show had to get one) has been put on the back burner. His relevancy to the series is so non-existent that I fail to see why he was introduced here in the first place. The ending - though as heartwarming as it may be - is frustrating as a result. There is no resolution, nor even a meager hope of a second season to cling to. This is straight up a tease to make you buy the light-novels, a commercial practice I am not fond of for obvious reasons. Yet, I suppose a "bad" ending should not be considered detrimental to a narrative as a whole, nor should it qualify my own enjoyment of the series. Of course, it was nothing spectacular, nor mindblowingly good. No, it was just a decent watch: not all cases were particularly compelling - Shouta's grandma little mystery was a bit of a snorefest I am afraid - but the highs were definitely high. |
| decent anime, lot of anatomy related stuff in it. animation quality was also pretty good. story was decent. but villan was introduction too late and nothing became of it (just the prologue for know). overall it was enjoyable neitherless |

| My 181st completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 7/10 rating. |
| So in the end they reunited. I liked that scene, it was heartwarming. Nice ending to the series, I prefer this over trying to make a rushed ending with a conclusion, especially since it looks like there's a possibility for a season 2, even more so with Hanabusa appearing at the end. Overall, it was nice, definitely liked it, but I can't say it was the best mystery I've seen. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| episode that explains the origin of friendship!!! Well, I suppose we will enjoy in a future with a second!!! kekeke unfortunately it has been a series that has gone from more to less .........5/10 |

| i did really like this show. it was quite interesting and im glad they got back together in the end but its unfinished. the main mystery that we were told about just last ep hasnt been figured out yet. tried looking into it since mal lists the chapter count in the source as ? and now i hate myself. do not look into it if you care for the story, the title of the final book has a major spoiler. assuming its true and not like a quote some character said. there is also two manga series, one has 2 volumes and the other only 1 so possibly just extra instead of an adaptation. mangaupdates description says its an adaptation though so possibly it was given up on? the source story is finished but i doubt this anime will get a second season considering this is nearly 9 years old. its sad as this was really good and i like sakurako. i cant concentrate enough on reading a novel so ill probably never know the rest of the story but maybe i should try shoutarou's "SAKURAKO-SAN!" screams were annoying but i ship them  |

| The only good thing I can say about this is that I somehow finished watching it... as painful of an experience as that was. |

| well, seems that we really were sent to the abyss since this never got the second season it was seemingly supposed to have... (do people really think this will get a second season after almost ten years?) Anyhow, nice show, I enjoyed it but I felt it could have been better in ways I can't really put my finger on. |

| Good episode but a disappointing finale. Knowing how they first got together was good, but for me, it wasn't a necessity and they should have saved it for the 1st episode of the 2nd season that never was. There should've been another mystery and ended with the previous episode. Overall, I enjoyed the show. The cases weren't very complicated or thrilling, and the characters outside of Sakurako weren't compelling, but it had a lot of emotion and uniqueness. I for one, liked the bone parade interjection, though they could've mixed it up a bit or made it actually relevant to the cases somehow. 7.5 whale boners /10 |
