About

"A criminal mastermind's origin as social revenge"

This anime reimagines Moriarty not as Sherlock Holmes' shadowy foe but as William James Moriarty, a brilliant, quietly furious noble in Victorian England who orchestrates elaborate crimes to punish a rigid class system that crushes the poor. As his schemes grow bolder, a certain detective starts noticing the pattern. The show is moody, stylish, and talky, more interested in ethics and atmosphere than action, carried by gorgeous gothic visuals and a slow-burn rivalry. It rewards patience over spectacle, favoring philosophical debate over mystery-solving thrills.

Watch it for

the elegant reframing of Moriarty as a sympathetic architect of justice through crime.

Maybe skip if

you want fast-paced mysteries rather than slow, dialogue-heavy moral philosophy.
