If you want science fiction that respects its own premise, KADO: The Right Answer is available in Australia on Crunchyroll, and in the US on Crunchyroll right now. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. 47 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Hiroaki Miura — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. Put it on tonight on Crunchyroll and see for yourself.

There is a reason KADO: The Right Answer keeps coming up in conversation. KADO: The Right Answer uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Kojiro Shindo is a highly-skilled negotiator working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As his plane at Haneda airport prepares to take off, a huge mysterious cube appears from the sky. 'It' expands rapidly, and absorbs the passenger plane and its 252 passengers. The human element stays intact thanks to Hiroaki Miura and Mao Ichimichi, who anchor every scene. It was aired in 2017. What separates KADO: The Right Answer from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give KADO: The Right Answer a chance. The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse is the obvious comparison, but KADO: The Right Answer earns its own place alongside it. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. Watch for Hiroaki Miura in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

KADO: The Right Answer wrapped up in 2017 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
