Heaven's Memo Pad Review

    Heaven's Memo Pad, also known as Kamisama no Memochou, is a mystery anime. The story follows Narumi Fujishima, who has been forced to relocate frequently due to his father's work, and Tokyo is his most recent stop. When he starts his new school, Narumi isolates himself from his classmates and prefers to hang out on his own on the school's roof. One day, while hanging out on the roof, his classmate Ayaka comes to him. Ayaka quickly becomes Narumi's friend and recruits him to join the gardening club, of which she is the sole active member. Afterward, she takes him to the ramen shop where she works part-time. Narumi unexpectedly runs into three friends he met at a previous event. This different trio, who call themselves" NEET," hang out at a ramen shop.

    Most importantly, they are employed by Alice, who has an apartment on the third floor of the building that houses the ramen shop. Alice, a young girl of approximately 12 years old who is a genius on the computer, is a hermit who only ventures out of her apartment when it is absolutely necessary. In addition to this, she has a reputation for being a "Neet Detective." While Narumi struggles to make sense of the bizarre personalities he sees, he finds himself working as Alice's assistant and becoming involved in a case that she is investigating.

    The writing on Heaven's Memo Pad is very stylish. There are 13 episodes, each of which contains multiple events. We are given a front-row seat to the events as they unfold, thanks to Alice, Narumi, and the other members of their team's interventions, investigations, and points of view. Besides introducing the characters, the anime's first episode lasts 48 minutes on a lengthy event. While there are some breathtaking action sequences, the focus is primarily on dialogue and dramatic moments. There are some excellent mysteries at play here. While watching, you can constantly ask yourself, "what will happen now." This anime does not concentrate on specific cases; instead, it explores the complexities of human emotions, connections, and the search for the truth. The effectiveness of the dialogues is generally strong, even though some of them go on for a little bit longer than necessary.

    The drawings of the anime are very successful and realistic. The opening scenes, particularly in the first episode, left a significant impression on me. I enjoyed it overall, despite the fact that each new episode featured a drawing of a lower quality than the previous one. The designs of the characters are very impressive. Character development is pretty good, but there were a few of them about whom I would have liked to have learned a little bit more detail. The music choices are quite successful compared to an anime in this genre, and the voice actors' performances are excellent.

    You can try Heaven's Memo Pad if you like mystery and detective stories.
