Fan reviews: Kindaichi Shonen no Jikembo Season 3

ester_grace · 14 Dec 2010

I like kindaichi more than conan, I think this series isn't dissapointed.

I originally grabbed this to watch more of Matsumoto Jun, but I was really suprised at how absorbing the mysteries are! I love quirky, msyerterious series like this and I devoured each and every episode! I hope I can find the first two series to watch - even though no MatsuJun - because I'm really interested in seeing more of Kindaichi!

MatsuJun's Kindaichi is fun and Suzuki Anne plays a good supporting role as they solve mysteries together. My personal favourite was still the first episode although the rest were still pretty fun to follow. This was my first set of Kindaichi so I'm looking forward to seeing Kazuya's and Dohmoto Tsuyoshi's version.

okok.... well... kindaichi was so clever afterall.
mysterious story.....not bad not bad....

He's so cute in this one, and I love the ending theme, it's addicting!
Matsumoto is a great actor, so far I've liked many of the other dramas he was in.
This drama is a must for Jun lovers, or viewers that enjoy Kindaichi. However Jun tends to show more beauty than the original kindaichi manga/anime. I believe that all the Johhny's have played the character well, but the story should get the most attention, for the cases are challenging and suspensful. I want to watch this one Again!!!

Kindaichi 1 & 2 ended beautifully. With a movie filmed and a ending in the movie saying that Miyuki is transferring school, Hajime 'finally' heard her confession...it ended beautifully.

Everything is so nicely done until this 3rd series came. The girl who portrayed Miyuki in this series appeared in 1 of the case in Kindaichi 2. How can they use back the SAME GIRL to portray Miyuki this time??? hello, director!!! Even if they are going to get different cast this time, they should find a completely new girl which is not a HARD task at all since this girl is no great actress too.

Kenmochi is a COMPLETELY letdown! The original Kenmochi is superb! The comic Kenmochi is very tall, you can see that he is way much taller than Kindaichi, but this one is toooo short to be Kenmochi. And he has the look of a 'bad guy' where the original Kenmochi look more like a gentle uncle to Kindaichi. Miyuki is too short here too. In the comic, we can know that Miyuki is not the normal girl, she has her intelligence and sometimes show more bravery than Kindaichi. This Miyuki is too 'soft' image.

I watch 1~2 episode here and there because i did not look at the screen, but only listen to them talking. I get thrilled because it's the same dubbing for kindaichi 1 & 2 i watched thru' my country's channel. And ya, that's all.

matsujun did really well as the kindaichi in this new series.. though everyone would always think of tsuyoshi first when they think of kindaichi.. matsujun brought a refreshing new image to the teenage detective.. that was matsujun's aim in the first place.. and i'm glad he acheived it.. suzuki an did well as miyuki protraying a girl who gets sad when kindaichi looks at another girl or when she is betrayed by a friend.. but as usual always there for kindaichi whenever he needs help.. the last scene of all kindaichi dramas are sweet.. i always looked forward to those.. great job by two young actors..

This movie is really nice...... Watch it or u will regret. ^.^

I'm a fan of the original actually, but this one isn't half bad. Matsumoto is a very different Kindaichi--not really that funny, exaggerated or cute as Tsuyoshi. But it is definitely more down-to-earth while Tsuyoshi's was more like the manga.
The cinematography was definitely an improvement. But to really enjoy it, don't expect the same feeling the original gave you!

dnie · 15 Sep 2002

yep,this one is different than DoTsuyo's version, bcoz Matsujun's Kindaichi is funkier and in tune with the contemporary taste. An is also the sidekick with an attitude. I agree tho that the earlier version is better coz it stays true to the comic book..however, you shouldn't give this a miss!!

Slackey · 6 Feb 2002

Suzuki An is back in another Kindaichi series but this time, instead of being a shy little girl in a cameo of the second season of the original, she stars as sidekick Miyuki. Being a fan of the old series, I do prefer the old version better. But it is nice to see some new cases. The only problem I have is that this series is short. Plus I did not find it as funny as the original. Overall, however, it's worth at least a watch once over.

smlpotatoes · 4 Feb 2002

This show was really fun. I've never seen the first two series, and I know a lot of people prefer the original cast. But this cast did a good job. The show is more involved with solving the bizarre, often bloody murders than it is with developing the relationship between Kindaichi and Miyuki. Which to me, is a plus. But there are enough humorous asides and sweet moments to keep the romantic viewer satisfied.

T"his time Jun plays kindaichi and i think he did a really great job. He looks really cool in the show, and actually after watching it, it made me more interested in Arashi. However, i think that the Tsuyoshi version of kindaichi was better. The cases this time i find not as scary or suspense compared to Tsu one and also not much funny scenes where u see miyuki and hanjime arguing. I've noticed that the filming techiniques is quite different from previous which is new and the theme song i really like.

Zaki · 2 Dec 2001

It is great to see some changes to Kindaichi. But there is a little pity too since Tsuyoshi is performing quite well. I also miss the miyuki who is taller than Kindaichi!

TsuyoshiK · 23 Nov 2001

At last!!! New cases!! The constant repeating of tsuyoshi domoto's version of kindaichi has become a bit boring. the cases this time round are more interesting n thrilling. U will experience a different feeling cos Kindaichi has changed. Matsumoto Jun pumped in a totally new image of Kindaichi. Plus Miyuki n the inspector. totally different. Watch it n experience it for yourself
