Continuity in some ways is almost always preferred when you bring back a property and it looks like we’re getting just that when the new Kindaichi Case Files anime series premieres on April 5th in Japan. The show, based on the manga of the same name by Yozaburo Kanari and Fumiya Sato, is being called Kindaichi Case Files Returns and will even bring back one of the original producers from the 1997 series with Michiko Suwa boarding the project.
In terms of cast, the series brings back Taiki Matsuno to play the lead role of Hajime Kindaichi. Akiko Nakagawa returns as Miyuki Nanase while Juurouta Kosugi comes back to Isamu Kenmochi. And not left out is the rival with Toshiyuki Morikawa set to reprise Kengo Akechi.
Manga concept: Kindaichi (frequently with best-bud, Miyuki) travels to various places where a murder has taken place, typically involving ghosts, curses, myths and folklore of significant events from the distant past, and solves the mystery using ingenious deductions of curious clues and his cool magic.
