+**トリック**(Trick) is a Japanese live-action franchise about an unsuccessful magician and a physicist who go around solving cases involving supernatural shenanigans...which turn out to just be people exploiting magic //tricks//. It's both strange and incredibly good.
+===== Reviews =====
+I'll quickly note here that I stopped watching the series after finishing the first special due to encountering a bit of an issue...but I fully intend to finish it at some point.
+This review is focused on the series //in general// because I perceive it as a whole.
+<del>So...I'll write that later.</del>
+I had planned to write a review of the series in general, but decided to leave that until much later. Probably when I actually return to the series.

+I will return to this fairly soon. So? What happened? I returned to the series as promised. More specifically, I started re-watching it with my brother (who was watching it for the first time). After finishing the parts I had seen, we moved onto the parts I hadn't seen yet. So now I've finished the whole thing.
+Overall, I would say the following (which I will re-work into a more pleasant form later):
+  * The series is overall pretty (very) good.
+  * Some of the mysteries are unfortunately left unresolved, and some threads are left abandoned.
+  * Some of the jokes are predictable and can be repetitive, but I wouldn't say the comedy gets stale.
+  * The actual series is fairly episodic, which is why I noted some threads are left unresolved. The actual over-arching plot that was being hinted at is just kinda not dealt with.
+  * Despite the issues, the ending is very nice and satisfactory.
+I do have a few personal issues with the series. From the second season onward, Yamada's outfit remains basically exactly the same thruout the rest of the series. This annoys me a little, because I actually liked to see the various outfits she had in that first season. It's also a really odd thing to do.
+I thought there were more, but then I couldn't think of any more.
+===== Trivilinks =====
+  * Nope.
