Weskalia's Psychic Detective Yakumo Tv Review
Rated:
Yakumo isn't a great horror, supernatural series, or for that matter a great series period. Thirteen episodes do seem long enough to cover Yakumo's painful past, the plot was decent but it was poorly executed. This mechanical rendition of a supernatural mystery moves listlessly from one scene to the next, the producers clearly bored out of their minds because they know that you know what's coming. If the production staff didn't bother to put much effort in it, then it shouldn't bother you to watch it. If you like to flex your sleuthing muscles and to see a similar concept in a much better rendition, you may want to give Ghost Hunt or even Madhouse's superior Death Note and Monster a whirl instead.
Suspense is a delicate thing.

Anime "Psychic Detective Yakumo" is terrific.
Manga "Psychic Detective Yakumo" is better than Anime.
Novel "Psychic Detective Yakumo" (original) is better than Manga.
So, Original(novel) is the Best. XD
I can say finally a good mystery story appears again. I found the manga by pure chance and liked it a lot but was sad that there was not much reading material and later on I discovered that there exists two different versions (an older and a newer one). I was truly very surprised to see it animated but made me also very happy and excited. Even if the theme of the different eye color with powers is often used, if its implementation is good I don't mind how often exactly :). I also quite like the idea to be able to sea and speak with the ghosts/spirits but can't actually do any other things besides that. Normally I'm pretty annoyed with the girls actions at some point of the story but the interaction between Yakumo and Haruka is really good. I like his cold, distant attitude and how Haruka tries to understand him more but don't get discouraged or some silly thoughts, stands up and truly thinks and knows how to handle Yakumos attitude. The shown cases are interesting, some sweet and some sad. I really enjoyed watching it but only 13 eps are too short ;)
Aiira rated 7.75:The love story between Yakumo and Haruka was a bit dull, but in the end it was shown really well. What I did not expect was the death of a certain person [will not mention as it is a major spoiler]. Not a rare anime about a person seeing a ghosts, but a certain doctor is a exception. During one of the episodes, it was twisted really well, that you would not think she was the culprit. A well written anime if I say so myself, I was just a bit disappointed on how Haruka's character just hid behind Yakumo for the duration of the anime. During the end, I was really satisfied on how Yakumo accepted himself. Overall a great anime and is a must watched.
orange-lisa rated 7.00:Nice, although I expected more from it... I think the plot could have been developed better, perhaps relying more on Yakumo's abilities in some interesting case or revealing the past of Yakumo more gradually, many things shown in few minutes should have had more space.
ghost945 rated 8.50:story unfolded nicely. rather touching in the end. appreciated production team effort converting a short manga into one season in length anime. well done. seiyuu performance better than initial thought. would like to see more depth and development in characters though since this anime isn't really focusing on solving crime nor was it about psychic power.
