Spiral is a creative and original piece of work. This
25-episode show revolves around mysteries and detective matters. Although it starts
as a simple "Mystery of the week" show, there is actually a plot that
takes form and a good one at that. Unfortunately, the good premise is badly executed
and looses track. Mainly, the problem here is that the show asks a lot of questions
but leaves almost all of them unexplained which is rather frustrating and the
mysteries and tricks become repetitive and not that logical.
The
animation is pretty good, with vivid colors and nice drawing. Here is a show that
could have been so much more but unfortunately doesn't live up to its full potential.
