Emi Takei  as Haru in Otenki Oneesa

Ahhh, just finished watching the Emi Takei crime drama Otenki Oneesan tonight, and I have to say that it was quite an enjoyable romp! Individual episodes were your usual “Person-of-eccentric-abilities-solves-strange-crimes” formula, but by gosh, you really liked the characters, and the development of Haru as a person throughout the series was done so well! 

Of course, the main attraction for me was the amazing and beautiful Emi Takei who completely immersed herself in the mysterious Haru role, so much that I completely believed her character, but the supporting cast was also superb, especially the fun and witty gang at the "Bar Mitsuya" where Haru lived and they broke down the cases each evening.

Something about this show really touched me- very moody atmosphere and carefully crafted scenes which were very pleasing to the eye! The show had a very abruptly cut ending which makes me think they’re gearing up for a Special, which I would totally be up for! An abrupt but altogether satisfying ending to a really sweet and gently-paced series.

A wonderfully Moody drama
