geri_chan | Aibou reviews

It's tough to find stuff in English about my favorite J-drama Aibou, but this blog gives a nice overview of Seasons 11-15. I agree with what the reviewer says in the Season 12 review, about how the cases are varied and run the gamut from cozy, personal mystery stories to heavy social commentary, which is pretty accurate. It was also amusing when the reviewer compared and contrasted Sugishita to Columbo in the Season 11 review! Sometimes I like to imagine writing a crossover between Aibou and an American crime procedural--like when I was watching the Season 12 episode in which a math puzzle was the clue to a murder, I kept thinking that Charlie from NUMB3Rs should be there!
