AKA: Galileo Season 2
Genre: Crime, Comedy
Episodes: 11
Broadcast period: 2013-Apr to
2013-Jun
Cast: Fukuyama Masaharu,
Yoshitaka Yuriko, Sawabe Yu and Shibasaki Kou.
After being promoted
to a post in America Utsumi Kaoru (Shibaksaki Kou) she is told hand her usual
cases to newly Teito University graduate Kishitani Misa (Yoshitaka Yuriko), who
is a cocky woman believing everyone is inferior to her. That is until she is
introduced to the science adviser Yukawa Manabu (Fukuyama Masaharu). Like in
season 1 known as Galileo Yukawa is a professor at Teito University and is
known to be an eccentric scientist, who gives lectures and proves theories
without being asked to do so. The two are put together as a team just like
Utsumi and Yukawa were before, to deal with supernatural cases that are
impossible to explain.
At first Kishitani
refuses to work with him since she doesn’t believe he can and should assist a
police matter, but slowly comes to deal with his eccentric personality and his
ridiculous ways, even going the way of asking him for assistance herself..
Comparing it with
season 1 that I have watched some time ago I liked season two more. I actually found
season 1 to be a bit boring, which season 2 does a really good job fixing by
giving us a character that is gives the professor a good opposite, challenging
even. Though the cases somewhat drag it out a bit, there are cases which makes
you kind of intrigued, and makes you want to know about the reasoning. If you
aren’t that interested in science it might bore you, but they really do try to
make it worth your while by making you guess or giving you hints for either the
murderer or how it occurred. This is actually the first time liking Yoshitaka
beause of her humoristic side. You can actually watch season 2 without having
watched season 1.
To sum up, pretty
good.
