Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions Season 2

I disliked the first season so much, but I decided to trust the process and continue watching it. it was worth it. Unlike season one, the second season gives you some hints by which you can guess who might be the culprit and how their plan works. On the other hand, it also follows the story of Ron's life, our main character, which all of us are obviously more interested in. I somehow believe all the random cases that we watched Ron solve were only there to show us "hey this dude is a genius! he solves cases with just a glance." I think one case wasenough to prove this to us, but they gave us many random and unrelated cases in season one with no hint for the viewer to guess and follow what happened, which made season one boring. however, season two somehow fixed these issues a bit: 1) cases had more hints for the viewer to assume who the culprit is. 2) we learn new information about who Ron is and what has happened to him. 3) some of the cases that Ron solves are related to him and who he is. I believe season two (and season one also) should've focused on Ron's story more and avoided solving unnecessary unrelated cases to make it more enjoyable and interesting. however, the cases in season two were solved in a logical way with all the given hints, forcing viewers to pause and try to solve the case on their own.

The second season of Ron Kamonohashi leaves me with a bittersweet feeling. The anime starts off on a high note with a super interesting story and showing us what would apparently be the villains of the season or even of the story in general. The problem comes once the first arc is over, when they don't mention these villains again in many chapters and the plot picks up again in the final stretch. The feeling is like being thrown a bucket of cold water, in the end it's not what one expected from what seemed to be an interesting story from beginning to end. It's notthat the rest of the stories weren't interesting or entertaining, it's simply that compared to what they gave you at the beginning, none can reach that level. On top of that, the final stretch gives you a rather vulnerable version of the protagonist, so the whole part of the mystery and its resolution feels a bit bland. The mystery never stops being good, each case is just as good as the last, the antagonists/villains have clear and understandable motivations and the resolution of the cases, in many of them, can surprise you with their creativity. Maybe my preference for more intricate stories simply makes me feel a bit dissatisfied with what I've seen in these 13 chapters. Toto is one of the best characters in this anime, if not the best. The depressed version of Ron doesn't quite convince me. I know it was necessary for his development but not seeing him in his confident version made me lose a lot of hope. It's similar to when they tell you that instead of going to your favorite band's concert, you go see a tribute band in an abandoned warehouse. My feelings about this work are a bit mixed, I don't know whether to recommend it or not sincerely. On the one hand, I know that if you like mystery and detectives like Sherlock Holmes, you will enjoy this like a kid in an amusement park. But, since I didn't enjoy it the way I initially thought I would, it wouldn't be honest of me to give a recommendation because I don't feel it completely.
