The similarities are obvious.

Main character is a genius obsessed with solving murder cases.
Has a sidekick who helps to take care of the main character and stop them from doing stupid things.

It's a good anime, but too bad it's nowhere near as smart as Sherlock. The deductions are beyond horrible, ex. you can't infer that a kid has hospital files because her arm was hurt! If the mother is a bad parent, as Sakurako admitted, maybe she wouldn't have even bothered to take her.

The main character in Sakurako isn't obsessed with solving murder cases though but I agree, the deductions are dumb and the second episode's case was half solved through luck. Not that it needed to be solved since the murderer walked straight back to the scene.

Sakurako is just like inferior version of Gosick to me.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Also her name should be Sherloca

That wouldn't make sense since she's Japanese.
Also there is plenty of anime with Sherlock Holmes

I thought about Sherlock Holmes upon watching episode 1 but Kujou isn't completely similar to him. She isn't really solving a case from start to finish everytime.

i know this topic is long gone, but i need to voice out my opinion XD
i think this is similar to Bones tv series which have the same smart girl who love bones and also connected to solving some crimes.
it didnt strike me so soon what show is similar to this when i watched episode 1 because its been so long since i watched Bones XD but watching it really bugs me because i know similar show to this just cant remember XD
