This fall, a brand new anime is set to release in a lineup of other iconic anime; the story of Sherlock Holmes, but told with a twist — it’s told from the perspective of Holmes’ nemesis, Moriarty. Set in late 1800s England in the world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation, the story follows the “Crime Consultant” William James Moriarty and his brothers, Louis and Albert James Moriarty as they work together to remove the evil Nobility and Class System and bring justice to the lesser fortunate that are affected by the evil deeds of the higher-ups. |
Moriarty The Patriot doesn’t just take the original story and retell it in another perspective — it takes the story and remolds it into its own story from a different set of eyes, still playing with the perspectives of Holmes and Watson while keeping us in the mindset of Moriarty himself. If you’re familiar with the first few stories of Sherlock Holmes, then you’ll be able to get the first bit of the story and understand the neat references to the original works (which I highly appreciate- I find it fun to be able to point something out and smile about it) but from there, the story shifts to its own tale. |
"The day you stop speaking your ideals is the day you become nothing but a slave." | Set in the future on a colonized Mars, Carole and Tuesday is the story of two girls from different walks of life who, connected together by the threads of music, come together and start to create music together, finding their missing puzzle pieces in each other. On their journey to create music, they cross paths with many other musicians and form unbreakable bonds with them. |
In creating that realistic world, they also cover cultural and societal issues that can be seen in the present-day. A great example of this from the anime is Presidential Candidate Valerie and her campaign addressing illegal immigration from Earth to Mars, which draws similarities to the issues faced by immigrant countries such as America. |
Above all else, this anime is a music-oriented show with many of its plot points surrounding the musical industry — and it most definitely doesn’t slack on the quality of its songs. The show covers many different styles of music, from country and acoustic to modern pop with many of its episode titles being taken from popular and iconic real-world songs by famous artists (such as True Colours by Cindi Lauper). All of Carole and Tuesday’s songs (as well as all of the artists featured in the anime) can be found on Spotify, making for a total of 36 songs with two full vocal collections (not including the openings and endings). |
