" Nippon Noir: Detective Y's Rebellion " started nicely but didn't keep it up till the end.

The drama was supposed to be somehow related to " 3 Nen A Gumi: Ima kara Mina-san wa, Hitojichi Desu " but the only connection they had were the random cameos of the students, that, if you haven't watched the first, you won't even notice it. Also, another difference was that the first drama was more realistic and nippon noir was too much of a dystopian fantasy.

So, other than that, the drama had two things going for it, the main character who was pretty dominant and he was the best part of the drama, and the performances. However, the story was a bit too much. It felt, most of the time, that too many things were happening too quickly and off the scene. I mean, the first part of the drama was a quick sum up of the previous episodes, and a quick sum of some events that happened and we never actually saw. The conclusion was a bit off too, as the events took a more sci fi twist.

So, overall, six out of ten.
