The official website of Chō Shōnen Tantei-dan NEO (The Ultra Boy Detectives Club NEO) — the television anime gag series of shorts that remakes Edogawa Rampo’s Shōnen Tantei-dan (The Boy Detectives Club) novels — began streaming a video for the anime on Wednesday.
Shōnen Tantei-dan (The Boy Detectives Club) is the title of both the 1937 novel by renowned Japanese mystery novelist Edogawa Rampo (Rampo Edogawa), and the title of a series of Edogawa novels.
2015’s Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace television anime adapts many of Edogawa’s stories, and this fall’s Trickster: Edogawa Rampo ‘Shōnen Tantei-dan’ Yori anime series also draws inspiration from The Boy Detectives Club novel series.
(The aforementioned titular novel is actually the second in the series; the first was 1936’s The Fiend With Twenty Faces.)
