After coming out as a simulcast series back in 2012, the Cuticle Detective Inaba anime series saw home video release in North America thanks to Sentai Filmworks. The show got separate DVD and Blu-ray releases at the time and while it got a complete collection in Japan in 2018, we haven’t had any new releases of it in North America since its original. Sentai Filmworks, who has the show in print still, has now brought out the trailer for the property that looks like it’s going to be awful but turned out to be one of the most hilarious shows that I’d seen in a long time.
Check out our review of the Blu-ray and DVD releases.
Plot Concept: In a world where half-human, half-animal chimeras live and work alongside normal people, there are sure to be a few bad apples in the bunch. Unfortunately, criminals who are only half-human means there are often non-human clues that leave the police stumped. That’s where lone-wolf detective Hiroshi Inaba comes in. He’s literally part wolf and has the amazing ability to extract critical information just by examining or tasting a sample of someone’s hair!
