Chuuzenji-sensei Mononoke Kougiroku: Sensei ga Nazo wo Hodoite Shimau kara.

School x Supernatural x Mystery. This story takes place before the exorcist Kyougokudou opened up a used bookstore...

Our setting is in Tokyo in 1948, just right after the war. Kanna Kusakabe had just become a second-year at a high school when she meets the new language teacher, Akihiko Chuuzenji. Mysterious supernatural things keep happening around Kanna. Once again today, Kanna is going to open the doors to the library prep room to seek help from the surly Chuuzenji-sensei who is waiting inside.

A high school supernatural mystery featuring the unlikely duo between a teacher and a high school girl is about to begin!

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Set in yee olde Tokyo of 1948 comes this detective story.

Kanna, our main is a student and plays Watson to the Sherlock Holmes inspired Sensei Chuuzenji.

The episode starts with a hint of the supernatural or urban legend then Sensei walks on and logics it all down to earth, the end. And there is a white haired dude in there that is clearly supernatural but we don't talk about that!

While the artwork is... fine, just fine. The animation is stiff as a board. It actually brings the whole show down.

Sensei's job is to mug at the camera. No really, that's it. He's a pure ... Sherlock Holmes dupe and nothing else to where it's actually boring.

The premise of the show had potential but between the stiff characters, the obvious "mysteries" and the poor animation it just too rigid and not entertaining enough to keep you interested in what's going on.

Normally I'd give this a meh 5 and mixed bag since there is nothing REALLY wrong with it, however there are better detective shows out this season that by comparison this one just doesn't hold up.
