DAQ, Detective Academy Q or Tantei Gakuen Q,

Is a good anime for any Mystery lover. It has a detective conan feel to it but in its own right its a really strong detective story.

Synopsis.

The story follows Q class of the prestigus Dan Morihiko detective school, a famous detective who left the force some time to found his school called.
DDS, (Dan Detective School) DDS has the full backing by the Police as they have been called upon many times to solve puzzling cases.

Dan Morihiko is wheelchair bound and uses this school to find his rightfull sucessor. He has may graduated detectives that work for him but none that he sees as a true number 1 detective.

Q class is made up of 4 members and later 5.

Kyu Renjo, age 14,

The main character of the story, he's a young, bright, kind young boy who sometimes says the wrong things that make him take bodly harm. He is hooked on detective shows and is sometimes discouraged by his mother for certain reasons. His reason for wanting to become a detective is for the man who saved him when he was little. When he was young he was kidnapped and a young detective saved him defeating everyone in the wharehouse where he was kept. A parting gift from the detective to him was a notbook in witch Kyu lovingly calls his 'bible'. He is a genious even so much beyond his own ideas. He meets another avid detective aspire by the name of Megumi. their relationship starts off weird as he always catches sight of her panties and annouces the patter to everyone thus in turn gains a swift knock on the head. He has great judgement of people and later on helps out the 5th member of Q class Ryu. His admission to DDS was do to helping a DDS member solve a enbesslement scam that later turned into a murder. his catch phrase 'there is only one answer'


Megumi Miniami age 14, also called Meg or Megu by her close friends

a gifted young girl with a photograpic memory. Witch also makes it hard for her to forget gruesome murder scenes. Yet her ablity makes her an invaluable part of Q class as she can remember a whole murder scene before and after if something is moved. She tends to hit Kyu due to his perversion (looking up her skirt and seeing her panties or peeking on her in some episodes), but she highly respects him for his mind and attiude. She also thinks of him more then just friends and often denys that she likes him. She is also has a slight crush on Ryu but it fades later on in the story. At first she thinks she's not as great as both Ryu and Kyu but due to her ablity. Kyu heavily relys on her insight to give him what he needs to solve a case and its the most crusal point. She first meets Kyuu when he is out getting groceries and is apart of the team that helps solve an embezzle murder case in the first episode.

Kintarou Tonyama age 18 known by Kinta to his friends

Kinta is a son of the police cheif who idolizes Dan Morihiko. Due to several family disuptes he left home to live on his own. He's gotten odd jobs to make ends meet and goes to school. By far he is the strongest member of Q class studying in Judo, kedo and Karate. His five senses come in handy when needed. He is also a pervert who likes older women. His rival of sorts Kazuma is the polar opposite but he treats Kazuma like a little brother and helps in giving 'brotherly' advice to him. He is also apart of Kyu's team in the first episode that gets him into DDS with the solving of the embezzlement murder case.

Kazuma Narusawa age 11

Child computer genius. Has created many games that earned him a wealthy lifestyle. He thinks that class Q is the lowest class and tried to get transfered to class A, but truth be told otherwise. He tends to do things in his own way using his computer witch tends to butt heads with Kinta's senses. Due to him almost being assulted in one of the episodes he becomes closly bonded to class Q helping in solving strong cases where his computer comes in handy. He first meets Kyu, Megumi and Kinta during the prelims of the DDS exam.

Ryu Amakusa age 14

Child Detective Prodgy, he's helped solve few cases for the NYPD but truth be told that he's apart of a dark organization that tries to commit perfect murders. He infultrates DDS to learn the other side to make his grandfather's org stronger. Yet as time goes on and due to Kyu being the first to understand him his mind changes. Its also hinted during the season that well... he likes Kyu that way >_>. He see's Kyu as a trusted friend and aids him in solving difficult cases. often times syncing with Kyu's own judgements. the shadow organization is reavealed through the series.


Falculty, and other sub characters.

Dan Morinko, the principle of DDS, he teaches for a while Q class personally. He's also very ill and crippled, fighting an organization that leaves him with a limited time left to live. He see's Kyu and finds something about him that he remembers. Later on it shows the rest of his involvements...

Shino Katagiri,
Dan's secretary, she is sent on a mission during the first episode and meets, kyu, megumi and kinta. She's also the one to give them the DDS forms to sign up.

Nanami Koutariou
Master of disguse and Dan's right hand man he's the guaridan shepard of Q class. The series running gag. 'find where he's hiding'

Tatgumi Hongou
He comes in later to teach Q class, Kinta hates his deminor and sometimes he gets a scolding from him but he trust Q class and later on in the anime see's Kinta as a younger version of himself. He has a rivalry with Nanami due for obious reasons.

Shintarou Maki,
Head farenics expert he only shows up during one of the episodes but his involvment helps aid Q class in solving several murders.

A class.

Sakurako Yukihaira, age 17
She's the female version Kyu, but is polar opposite of his personaltiy. Hard, brash, quick to reaction she see's kyu as a rival of opposing minds but also has a slight crush on him. Rest of her past is revealed.

Saburomaru Yutaka,
A genus with an IQ of 180 he rubbs in that he's in A class but later on gets demoted to B class. he lucked out getting into DDS due to his cheating he did when he followed Kinta, Kyu and Megumi.

Hayato Shiramine,
the magician of class A not much is developed in the anime

Kyouske Gouda
Known as the King of puzzles he's one that is also apart of class A
not much is known about him in the series.

Takeshi Shishido,
has a few PHD's in crimonlogy, has soved 3 murder cases by himself he sees himself a bit superor to Kyu but is often baffled on how fast Kyu figures out the crimes.

Kuniko Touya, 15 years old
she left a prestigus academy to join DDS, her reasons are shown later in the series. She has a crush on Ryu in both manga and anime. She got caught peeking into the boy's locker room by Kazuma. Her hairstyle and clothing changed after she was bullied and tries to change her shy self. Yet when she's pushed up agenst the wall watch out she's an Akido Master and her skills are shown a few times.

In all this series is really good at times it seems dumb but its very hard.

IT also makes you watch every aspect of the case so you can try solving them. I had to watch a few episodes over again to figure out the tricks.

on a scale of 1-10
i'll give this anime a 8.5 average

story, 10
music, 7
animation. 8
character development, 9

length of series 45 episodes.

Its a must watch, THER IS ONLY ONE ANSWER !
