come on guys, I thought we agreed not to do troll recommendations.
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo 01:
The only reason that I watched this was because the first episode was available on my cable provider's Anime Network On Demand channel and I generally watch television while I exercise.
I've always hated detective shows with mystical elements because having plothax powers is inherently antithetical to what makes detective stories intriguing, and this was an incredibly standard spirit detective dealio. There's an angsty bishounen with a special red eye that lets him see spirits who died with regrets, and, well, I guess he charges college students a nominal fee to look into their unexplained supernatural shit. Why the spirits help him when there's really nothing in it for them, no clue. I guess being trapped in a hellish half-existence in a world that you can perceive but can't perceive you gives you nothing better to do.
The titular Yakumo also has some kind of connection to the local police force and makes sure to provide forensic evidence of his target's crimes before confronting them so that they can be apprehended, but it's ultimately no consolation when everything that leads up to this is Un-Go levels of playing incredibly fast and loose with doing real detective work. I'd drop this and never look back, but it's basically the only thing on the entire Anime Network On Demand channel that I haven't seen and doesn't warrant a more focused viewing experience, so whatever, I'll stick with it I guess.
