You watch anime with a notebook in your head: detective stories, mystery, puzzle plots and investigations. The main pleasure is untangling the case before the hero on screen does. If you guessed the plot too early, the show loses a point.

Diagnosis
You watch anime with a notebook in your head: detective stories, mystery, puzzle plots and investigations. The main pleasure is untangling the case before the hero on screen does. If you guessed the plot too early, the show loses a point.
Symptoms
Recognise yourself in at least three? This is probably your card.
Superpower
No cheap twist can fool you.
Weak spot
You don't forgive a predictable plot, even in a good show.
Class breakdown
You watch anime like a chess game against the screenwriter: the goal is to work out the culprit, the twist or the hero's true identity before the screen shows it. Investigations, mystery, courtroom dramas and puzzle plots fill almost your entire list, and “I figured that out in episode two” is your signature line (and, annoyingly for everyone else, usually true).
It's a genre class with strict selection: the algorithm demands that mysteries and detective stories dominate your list systematically. A real Detective is betrayed by depth: besides the obligatory Death Note and Monster, you've seen niche procedurals, old Rampo adaptations and shows where the puzzle matters so much more than action that there's no action at all.
Screenwriters should fear you: for you a twist isn't a surprise but an exam the plot can fail. But if you give a high score, the intrigue was honest: the clues were in place, the solution didn't fall from the sky, and the game was played out without cheating. In a genre where fooling the viewer is a profession, your score is a seal of quality.
Kindred spirits
If anime characters kept rating lists, these would score titles in the spirit of «Detective».
