As with the first volume, the pacing of these cases is excellent; not once in twelve episodes does the plotting feel like it is dragging or stretching itself out to fill up time, and neither do any of the stories seem rushed. On the downside, though, the series focuses so much on its story and plot that it wastes a lot of opportunities for further character development beyond Mai. John Brown might as well be a puppet for all the character he gets to show, Masako has little character beyond her low-key jealousy of Mai's familiarity with Naru, and Lin only rarely gets to do anything except look and act dour.
Though not good enough to lure sub fans away from the comfort of their preferences, ADV's English version of the series definitely has its advantages. Some of its performances (specifically Toraji's beefy politician pal) are actually less hammy than their originals, and Vic Mignogna plays Jin with suitably excessive ferocity. The cast is solid overall, and the script is quite faithful, though not so faithful that it sabotages the dialogue's flow.
