Kaitou Joker is a very colorful and playful...mystery, I guess? I really enjoyed it, and am continuing to enjoy the second season.

The Story is pretty great. Basically, some kid (claiming to be a Phantom Thief) is stealing all kinds of treasure and using his wit and pretty awesome gadgets/inventions to get him and his apprentice out of trouble. I really liked the jokes and humor the show had. I know they're jokes for 6 year olds, but still. My only complaint is the explainations they give. Sometimes, it is really annoying because they didn't need to explain it, but it does come in handy sometimes.

The Animation was nothing special, but it was very appealing and colorful. The character designs were a little weird, but I guess that is fitting for a story about flashy thieves, isn't it?

The Sound was pretty great. I especially liked the opening, Kaitou Miracle Shounen Boy by Aruka Rider. The music was done by Yusaku Tsuchiya, who did the music for Sonic and the Black Knight. It was pretty good.

The Characters were pretty refreshing, what with the humor, brother-like rivalry, and contests to see who is the best Phantom Thief. There are four main characters, whose personalities all balance each other out well, and supporting characters and villains that really add to the story (even though an actual villain isn't introduced for a while, and their motive is introduced in the last episode). But watching the characters interact and seeing the fun ways they steal their treasure is great!

Enjoyment is 10/10 for me, for sure!
