Not sure what it will be, but I might be interested in it.

One day, team member Kensuke Hanasaki meets a mysterious boy named Yoshio Kobayashi. Kobayashi, who has an undying body because of an "unidentified fog," wishes his own death and refuses contact with others. Hanasaki takes an interest in Kobayashi and invites him to join the Boys' Detective Team. The encounter eventually leads them to the connection between the criminal nicknamed the "Fiend with Twenty Faces" and Kogorou Akechi. The fate of the two begins to move...

I watched this anime. It was surprisingly good.

Also watched it, and pretty enjoyed it. Ford Pines' "trust no one" fits in this anime pretty well.
