Dying Message: The Detective Anime Mystery Podcast

015 - Detective Academy Q: 23 w/ Caleb Zane Huett [In Which We Dine on a Train]

We take a literary train ride to examine the flimsy alibi in Detective Academy Q: Episode 23 with mystery guest Caleb Zane Huett.
In the anime, a picture book author thinks she's devised the perfect crime. On our podcast, a children's book author argues that she really, really hasn't. Plus: Michael becomes the Captain of the Podcast, and we brainstorm a few theories for an anonymous amorous Kingkiller Chronicles postcard.

014 - (Part 2) Murder in the Crooked House [Dying Message Challenge]

We spoil one of the most unexpected endings of any mystery novel, and find out who will be crowned "Detective Champion" on Part 2 of Dying Message Challenge.
This is the gameshow/bookclub two-part spin-off conclusion you have been waiting for! It's an all out (and very courteous brawl) as we finally get some time to dive into all the secrets in this book.
Warning: We are utterly spoiling the ending of the murder mystery Murder in the Crooked House by Sojia Shimada. If you haven't listened to Part 1, you'll want to start there (It was episode 13 of the podcast).

013 - (Part 1) Murder in the Crooked House [Dying Message Challenge]

Is it a book club? Is it a game show? Our spin-off: Dying Message Challenge is a little bit of both!
Three contestants try to solve the murders in the novel Murder in the Crooked House before reading the end of the book. They'll earn additional points in a series of challenges posed by host Noah Max Levine, and compete for the title of "Detective Champion."
Part 1 spoils parts of the book -- but does not spoil the solution to the murders. If you enjoy our coverage of mystery anime, see what we can do with a Japanese mystery novel!

012 - Detective Academy Q: 22 w/ Kae Lani Palmisano [In Which We Have a Snack]

We devour a bite-sized culinary murder mystery in Detective Academy Q: Episode 22 with mystery guest Kae Lani Palmisano.
There's a chef's table of clues in this tasty mystery, and we've got the perfect guest to whip up something special. Plus: The mystery of who pooped in the sink, and a sneak preview of our competitive bookclub spin-off Dying Message Challenge, premiering next week.

011 - Detective Academy Q: 17-21 w/ Ross Weisman [In Which We Have a Gourd Time]

We tunnel through the ungodly murders in Detective Academy Q: Episodes 17-21 with mystery guest Ross Weisman.
A deadly virus? A village you can't enter without wearing a mask? Uh oh, this anime from 2003 is weirdly topical in 2020. Let us take you back to a simpler time when trees were for kissing, cordless phones were for murdering, and Spencer's Gifts was the place you could find gifts for Spencer.

010 - Detective Academy Q: 16 w/ Katie & Nick [In Which Kazuma is a Velma]

We confront the overly realistic diorama in Detective Academy Q: Episode 16 with returning mystery guests Katie Cwirko and Nick Elmer.
It's a sudden deduction showdown between Class Q and Class A, but Katie and Nick do their best to turn the whole podcast episode into a giant "Which X character are you?" Buzzfeed quiz. The episode was very hard to edit, and very hard to summarize, but it's real easy to listen to!

009 - Detective Academy Q: 15 w/ Katie Gansler [In Which We Take a Deep Dive]

A beach trip leads us to an underwater locked room in Detective Academy Q: Episode 15 with mystery guest Katie Gansler.
It's your typical anime beach episode with lots of scuba diving and murder sprinkled in. Mike's on hand to tell us about beach episodes, while mystery guest and diver Katie explores the plausibility of this scuba-centric murder.

008 - Detective Academy Q: 12-14 w/ Sloane & Amelia [In Which We Learn Four Lessons]

We investigate a spooky seance murder in Detective Academy Q: Episodes 12-14 with mystery guests Sloane Lewis and Amelia Williams.
Kyuu's mom tries to set him up with a girlfriend, but instead he brings Class Q to debunk a seance. When murder ensues, Sloane and Amelia are on hand to explain just how shitty it all is and to teach us a few lessons!

007 - Detective Academy Q: 8-11 w/ Paulo Bautista [In Which The Letter Q Has a Hidden Meaning]

We investigate a series of dismemberments in Detective Academy Q: Episodes 8-11 with mystery guest Paulo Bautista.
In some kind of cruel and mysterious test, the students of DDS are shipped off to a murder training camp where, you guessed it, one of the students get murdered. Luckily, we've got Paulo on hand as we break it all down. Plus: how is Scooby Doo like a detective anime?
