The opening episodes feel like watching someone play a game they haven't learned the rules to yet. By episode five, the show figures out that it doesn't need rules at all, and the nonsense becomes precise. The final stretch abandons comedy entirely for genuinely epic moments that somehow work because you've spent eleven episodes watching these incompetent detectives earn something bigger than themselves.

Sheryl, Nero, Elly and Cordelia, the detective team known as Milky Holmes, return in a second TV season of comedy and mystery running 12 episodes. The first season introduced them as star students of Holmes Detective Academy in Yokohama, where they lost their Toys during a clash with the Gentlemen Thief Empire. The opening episode was shown early at a New Year's Eve event in Tokyo, and regular broadcasts began on January 5, 2012.
