reasons
Both lighter buddy cop shows, with an ounce of heavier drama sprinkled in. Their overall style and tone is pretty much the same. The character chemistry is also really similar. Protagonists work outside the law, which regular police has a problem with. Also, both shows have a character with the same "superpower", which is money.

High production value, beautiful character designs, balanced animation & stills quality. Overall a generic watch, but with a very flawed core idea. Watch this if you want some light-hearted plot-driven series, but don't really care about technicalities.

The opening and the millionaire detective remind me a lot of "James Bond" especially since he's always dressed in expensive very well-fitting suits. The opening and ending songs are extremly cool - especially the ending by the Okamoto's with the "nananana". I just can't replay them often enough.
The animation and design of the series are gorgeous. A real feast for the eyes and it follows the theme of "coolness". The mix of characters is well-balanced as is the story overall. It has serious but also very funny moments. Especially in the combo of both MCs. In the first few eps the series had also some great BL bait but it was sadly not that much. But it's still a great story of buddies.
I thought it as some great entertainment and one of the very best series this season. I would love to watch more like this!
