I believe this is the first time we will be having an anime based on the Sherlock series. Sherlock Holmes will be voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi who voiced characters like, Shuuhei Hisagi (Bleach), Kenjo Kazama (D-Frag), Takehito Morokuzu (Prison School) and so many more. I’m a die hard Sherlock fan and this show is really getting me hyped. What about you? Are you looking forward to Kabukichou Sherlock?
