While comedy anime tends to drop every new anime season, Detectives These Days Are Crazy! offers something different. Unlike other comedy anime that rely on their plot and setting for humor, Mattaku Saikin no Tantei to Kitara makes use of gag comedy that alters reality to offer fans something that can only be defined as absurd.
Detectives These Days Are Crazy!, written and illustrated by Masakuni Igarashi, only began serialization in April 2016. LIDENFILMS later picked up the series for an anime adaptation that is currently airing worldwide. So, considering that fans can watch the series while it is dropping episodes weekly, here are some details about it, including its total episode count and potential release schedule.
How many episodes does Detectives These Days Are Crazy! have?

As confirmed by the anime's staff, Detectives These Days Are Crazy! anime is slated for 12 episodes. As anime fans would know, this is a generic number of episodes for a television anime. With the anime's first episode airing on July 1, 2025, fans can expect the series to release all its episodes as part of the Summer 2025 anime season.
With that in mind, this is what the complete episode release schedule for the anime should look like unless it experiences any breaks during its broadcast run:
The chances of a break are low for a comedy anime. However, considering the early conclusion for the anime as per the predicted schedule, fans should keep an eye out for any news about a delay on the series' official website and social media pages. Fans can also check the anime's page on Crunchyroll for any updates if the anime does not release its episode at its scheduled time.
Typically, if the series plans to take a break to balance its schedule, the hiatus could be somewhere in the middle. Therefore, fans can expect a break between episodes 6 and 7.
