Anime Like Inou no AICis - ESP & HIGH SCHOOL DETECTIVE
A psychic app turns ordinary students into criminals overnight. Student detectives have to solve cases where the weapon is invisible, the motive is pure selfishness, and the only evidence is what the powers leave behind. The real mystery isn't who did it, it's whether someone with ESP can ever be trusted to tell the truth about themselves. This show treats supernatural crime like actual forensics: cold, procedural, and built on the idea that power corrupts faster than guilt sets in. The ONA format means it moves lean and mean, no filler between the hook and the gut-punch. Watch it if you want a show that believes detective work matters more than flashy powers.
SYNOPSIS
A mysterious app called AICis grants users supernatural abilities, and Geso Ward's high school students quickly discover that power corrupts absolutely. When gifted users begin committing crimes to serve their own desires, a group of student detectives emerges to stop them. Armed with their own psychic talents and sharp investigative instincts, they work to uncover who's behind each supernatural incident and why the app exists in the first place. The tension escalates as cases grow darker and more personal. Each new power reveal raises unsettling questions: How far will these students go to catch criminals who can bend reality itself? What connects all these cases? Most pressingly, what happens when the hunters and hunted both possess abilities that defy explanation? This is a show about teenage detectives chasing supernatural criminals through a city where the line between hero and villain blurs with every power-up. It blends psychological thriller elements with sci-fi mystery, creating an atmosphere where trust is currency and every ability comes with a price. The result feels intimate and paranoid, grounding superhuman conflicts in the moral complexity of teenage choice.
