RAMPO KITAN: GAME OF LAPLACE: COMPLETE SERIES

Rampo Kitan Wikia is a FANDOM TV Community.

Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace, created to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Rampo’s death, plays like one of those greatest-hits anthologies where the songs appear in truncated forms or are sequenced together into a continuous mix, but are still recognizable to some degree. Japanese audiences are far more likely to know the material; for them, “The Strange Tale of Panorama Island” — source material for one segment here, also adapted into a manga — is as passably familiar to them as Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” or Lovecraft’s “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” is to Western audiences.

Rampo Kitan moves all this material to a modern-day setting, and casts it in a kind of Batman Begins storyline, with the show using the extended Rampo mythos as a source of open-ended inspiration instead of a lockstep template. It opens not with Akechi himself, but Kobayashi, now the prime suspect in the savage murder of his homeroom teacher. Kobayashi’s only ally is his classmate and friend Hashiba, as down-to-earth and henpecked as Kobayashi is dreamy and flighty. Who else to seek out for aid but the famed young genius detective, Kogoro Akechi?
