“The Dinner Table Detective” has just been officially announced, and it’s set to premiere in April 2025. One of the most intriguing anime series of the year, with a blend of sharp wit, complex puzzles, and, yes, dinner table discussions like you’ve never seen before.
A Fresh Take on Mystery
“The Dinner Table Detective” is not your run-of-the-mill detective show. Set against the backdrop of Kunitachi City, Tokyo, the story revolves around Reiko Hosho, a rookie detective who just happens to be the heiress of the globally famous Hosho Group.
But instead of living a life of luxury, Reiko dons the detective’s hat, tackling cases that would make even the most seasoned sleuth sweat.
Joining her in this quest is Inspector Kazamatsuri, who’s not just any cop but the scion of Kazamatsuri Motors, bringing his own brand of intelligence to the table. And let’s not forget Kageyama, Reiko’s butler and driver, whose sharp tongue is only matched by his sharper mind. As one might say,
“He’s the brains behind the operation, even if he does it with a side of snark.”
The Masterful Hands of MADHOUSE
Animation studio MADHOUSE is at the helm of this project, and if their track record is anything to go by, we’re in for a visual treat. Known for their work on classics like “Death Note“, “Hunter x Hunter” and “Rainbow” MADHOUSE has a knack for bringing stories to life with depth and style.
“When I heard MADHOUSE was animating this, I knew we were in for something special. Their attention to detail and ability to weave intricate narratives into animation is unparalleled”
says one seasoned anime critic.
Produced by FujiTV & Shogakukan
The collaboration doesn’t stop with the animation studio. FujiTV and Shogakukan are behind the production, ensuring this series gets the platform and promotion it deserves. FujiTV’s “Noitamina” block will be the home for this series, a programming slot renowned for bringing unique and quality anime to late-night viewers in Japan.
The Characters
Reiko Hosho (voiced by Kana Hanazawa) – She’s the heart of the series, a young detective with more determination than experience. Reiko’s journey is one of growth, proving that even the most privileged can have a knack for justice.
When I first heard about the anime adaptation through the teaser PV, I thought that this was the perfect role for Kana, as she was the one I wanted to play the role of Hosho Reiko if it was made into an anime. I can’t wait for the broadcast. I’m looking forward to it.

Kazamatsuri (voiced by Mamoru Miyano) – The cool and collected inspector who might just be the perfect foil for Reiko’s eagerness. His legacy in the automotive world adds an interesting twist to his character’s background.
Kageyama (voiced by Yuki Kaji) – The sarcastic butler who doesn’t mince words. His observations are often the key to cracking cases, delivered with a side of dry humor.
What to Expect
Expect a series that’s as much about the thrill of the chase as it is about the interpersonal dynamics at play. Each episode is likely to serve up a new mystery, with our trio navigating through clues, suspects, and, of course, their own personal growth. The blend of humor, sharp dialogue, and tense plot twists should make “The Dinner Table Detective” a must-watch.
So, set your reminders for April 2025, because “The Dinner Table Detective” is going to be the dinner party you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re a fan of mysteries, character-driven stories, or just looking for something new from MADHOUSE, this series promises to serve up intrigue with every episode.
