The floating world is a dream, and the night dream is an illusion.

You may think that

The thing called reality,

Is it so fantasy-like?

The new A-rated animation "Ranpo Kitan Game of Laplace" was released, and the production team was also announced. The original design came from the famous modern mystery novelist Edogawa Ranpo, and the title was also taken from the pen name of this master. He is known as the "father of detective mystery novels in Japan", and is famous for his rigorous reasoning and confusing plots. The detective Akechi Kogoro in his works is the origin of the name of Maori Kogoro in the animation "Detective Conan", and Edogawa Conan is taken from Mr. Edogawa Ranpo's surname. His representative works include "Devil", "Ghost of the Lonely Island", "The Moon and the Glove", "The Transparent Monster", etc.

The animation is produced by Lerche. The director is Seiji Kishi, who has directed works such as "angelbeats!", "Dangan Rondo", and "Arpeggio of Blue Steel". The script is written by Kishi's old partner Makoto Egamisu, whose recent representative works include "Kill! Akame ga Mime" and "Assassination Classroom". The two have worked together on many animations and have excellent cooperation. This mystery work, produced by a master of mystery works and a mature animation production group, is worth the expectation of mystery fans!

About the author (from Encyclopedia)

Edogawa Ranpo, whose real name is Hirai Taro, was born on October 21, 1894 in Nabari-cho, Mie Prefecture, Japan. He is the most famous mystery writer and critic in Japan, and is known as the "father of detective fiction" in Japan. His works are full of confusing plots and strong suspense. They are full of weird and strange atmospheres, but also have reasonable reasoning and judgment. They are based on absurd and fantasy romance, and can deeply grasp the psychology of characters. His reasoning is rigorous and impeccable! The detective Akechi Kogoro (the origin of the name of Maori Kogoro in "Detective Conan") created by him is a household name in Japan. In 1923, he published his highly praised debut work "Two-cent Copper Coin" in "New Youth" (not the "New Youth" of the New Culture Movement), and began to create mystery novels (the original name was detective novels, and later changed to the current name under the advocacy of Edogawa Ranpo). As early as the early 1920s, when he was just starting his career, he had grasped the essence of mystery novels and knew that mystery novels were a kind of rational literature that solved mysteries logically. He became a pioneer in the field of Japanese mystery novels and the founder of the Japanese mystery "honkaku school". He died on July 28, 1965 at the age of 71. He is one of the "three peaks of Japanese mystery literature" along with Matsumoto Seicho and Yokomizo Seishi. It is worth mentioning that in "Detective Conan", Edogawa Conan used his last name.
