Ayatsuri Sakon is an anime about a shy boy named Sakon, and his loudmouth puppet Ukon. Sakon travels around to train and enhance his skills of puppetry. But everywhere he goes, mysteries appear, and people get murdered! Sakon likes to solve mysteries on the side, and is often very good at them. On occasion, his detective aunt Kaoroku, or his photographer friend Zenkichi, join up with him to help.
Sakon goes around solving murders, and making new friends along the way.
Ayatsuri Sakon was a nice anime, I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't call it a favorite, but the anime really allows you to get attached to some of the characters (Most notably, the characters Sakon befriends.) I was really looking for a murder mystery, where you could actually figure out who was the killer.
(I had previously watched Neuro, and as much as I enjoyed it, I really wanted to watch an anime where you had a chance to figure out who the killer was. Where as in Neuro, the killer is like the only new character introduced, and they don't show what happened.)
The anime has a nice calm feeling to it, the mysteries get very interesting, and some of the characters are very fun, and interesting! Overall I really liked it, and it's exactly what I was looking for.
Slight spoiler, but it's not a spoiler kind of spoiler. But I was really glad to see all of the friends Sakon made in each mystery, come to see him perform in one of his plays!
