When I first watched this i was very sceptical about it, since it seemed strange to create a new character just for the anime, but alll my doubts where erased one by one. It really is an enjoyable show with lots of content as it varies between Poirot and Marple, and Maybelle´s presence doesn´t really change the story since most of her lines are taken from other characters that where replaced with her. Watching this is a great way of passing time, and for some of the greater stories you can curl up with some cocoa on a rainy day and watch some mysteries get solved. (show less)
