First episode was great, beyond that it turned into a typical detective show with supernatural elements. Something which has all been done before.

I was actually relieved when the guy in the first ep turned out not to be the protag because he was really annoying. But then it turned out that the real main character was just as annoying after all, so once they solved all the mysteries of her mansion, I bailed.

The main thing I remember was wondering how/why, in an apparently Victorian (?) time frame, her "detective"/vampire fangirl outfit was a 21st c. track suit. Did they ever explain that?

Lynn is a vampire otaku so they used a tracksuit as a visual aid. She also has fans and glow sticks, so I just assumed it was part of the silliness in the show.

Investigating a little: This show also suffers for being for japanese fans. Let me explain: The show will sometimes mention some cases that happened off-screen (like the case where they met the zombie girl and the phantom thief): these seem to be game cases and it seems the anime skips over them because they expect audiences to have played the game and know (which leads to me to wonder why they adapted the introductory case about Lynn's dad, unless fans in Japan really wanted to see it animated) and the anime seems to be fanservice (in the non-sexual meaning) to get fans to see the cast animated doing stuff, since it seems a lot of what the anime shows is original. The problem is that the only case translated is the introductory case that was adapted in the anime about Lynn's dad. So the other cases the anime expects people to have played are exclusive to Japan
With this and Killed Again Mr Detective, we detective mistery fans aren't having much luck with recent anime
