Summary: Kaito Kuroba is a seventeen-year-old high school student who is an adept magician due to the influence of his father, Toichi Kuroba who died mysteriously. Eight years after his father's death, Kaito discovers a secret room in his home that was set up by his father to reveal itself on that very day. Finding Kid the Phantom Thief's gadgets and costume in the room, Kaito dons the disguise and decides to confront Kid who has recently resurfaced after his eight years of absence. Kaito discovers Kid to be Konosuke Jii, his father's butler, who ascertains Toichi was the first Kid the Phantom Thief. Jii reveals he took on the role as Kid to lure out Toichi's murderer. Upon learning that his father was murdered, Kaito continues the role of Kid the Phantom Thief as he searches for his father's killer.
My Take: This is a short anime series but it is super awesome!! If you like magic tricks or are interested in magic or just want to be mystified, check this anime out. It has a Robinhood kind of atmosphere because Kaito is stealing gems for a righteous cause (to find his father's killer) FWI he returns the gems (he is not a villain). It also has a bit of comedy with how he alludes the police. It is also suspenseful because every episode has a trick that has you craving to find out "How did he do it?"
