Kindaichi Shōnen no Jikenbo R (Kindaichi Case Files Returns), the new television anime of Yōzaburō Kanari and Fumiya Sato's detective manga, will reunite the voice cast from the earlier 1997-2000 television series.
Taiki Matsuno plays a high school boy named Hajime Kindaichi who usually seems dull, but when there is a case, he demonstrates remarkable deductive skills inherited from his famous detective grandfather. Akiko Nakagawa plays his childhood friend Miyuki Nanase, Juurouta Kosugi plays police inspector Isamu Kenmochi, and Toshiyuki Morikawa plays Kindaichi's rival Kengo Akechi. YTV's chief producer Michihiko Suwa was also a producer on the first series.
The weekly anime will premiere on Saturday, April 5 at 5:30 p.m. on YTV, NTV, and their affiliates. Just like 14 years ago, Kindaichi Shōnen no Jikenbo R will run right before the Detective Conan anime. The 1997-2000 Kindaichi Case Files anime ran before Detective Conan at 7:00 p.m. on Mondays to start the "Mystery Hour" of two detective anime. This time, YTV is nicknaming the new Saturday detective anime block the "Mystery Zone." (Detective Conan moved to Saturdays five years ago.)

Personally this is one of my most anticipated anime next season. The original manga series is among my most favorites, and one of the better ones in the mystery genre that I've read.
