The Moriarty’s Perfect Crime anime announced its release date and interesting format, which is unlike what most fans are familiar with. Still, the series promises an intriguing story that should make it a must-watch for isekai anime fans.
Moriarty’s Perfect Crime Gets July Release Date
The Moriarty’s Perfect Crime anime will join the summer season’s stacked lineup when it debuts on July 19 in Japan. It was also announced that the anime will air on CBC TV in its home country.
Right now, there’s no word yet on whether the anime will be streamed internationally by platforms such as Crunchyroll or HIDIVE.
There’s a high chance it will be picked up by a streamer upon its release, given that several anime with a similar premise have become successful hits, such as Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.
For now, only its Japanese release date and broadcast details have been confirmed, but more information will likely be revealed in the coming weeks.
Moriarty’s Perfect Crime Will Premiere as a Light Anime
The release date reveal also confirmed that the Moriarty’s Perfect Crime anime will be broadcast as a light anime, which is unlike the heavily produced anime shows fans are used to seeing.
Light anime uses a simpler animation style, which cuts down on both time and cost. This medium usually consists of moving digital manga pictures with voice actors narrating the lines.
This reduces the cost of drawing and animating full sequences, which is typical of most modern anime.
As such, fans should expect simpler animation in Moriarty’s Perfect Crime. It might look more similar to a manga promo video with the addition of voice actors narrating the characters’ lines.
James Moriarty Gets Isekai’d in This Upcoming Anime
As the title suggests, Moriarty’s Perfect Crime revolves around Sherlock Holmes’ infamous rival, James Moriarty, as he dies and gets reborn as a beautiful young lady in another world.
He loses his memory upon getting reincarnated, but he retains his sharp mind. He then uses his intellect to come up with the “perfect crime” to seek justice for Sherry, the bullied girl whose identity he assumes upon getting reborn.
Thus begins the journey of the two Moriarty's in a world without a great detective to stop them.
