Animal Detectives Kiruminzoo

a.k.a.: Anyamaru Tantei Kiruminzuu

Three sisters transform into a catgirl, a bunny-girl (nope, not the sexy type), and a dog-girl. Cuteness ensues.


 * Beach Episode: Episode 45
 * Big Fancy House: Maybe not that big, but definitely fancy, as in "Was the architect a little girl?". The school, too.
 * But Not Too Foreign: Hatori Kanon (the bat-girl) is from Eastern Europe, is blonde with green eyes, but has a completely Japanese name, and speak perfect Japanese.
 * By the Power of Greyskull
 * Catgirl. And dog girl. And rabbit girl. And bat girl. And that's only after two episodes.
 * Cats Are Mean: Even when she turns into one, Riko has her fair share of incidents with them.
 * Cute Kitten
 * Foreign Language Theme: opening and ending in Thai, by Neko Jump.
 * Forgot I Couldn't Swim
 * Hover Board
 * How Do I Shot Web?: while the initial transformations are simple enough, it takes a few episodes before the girls figure out how to transform completely.
 * Innocent Blue Eyes: Rimu, in the few instances where her eyes can be seen
 * Large Ham: While she's normally rather reserved, Kanon has her moments, such as her super villain persona.
 * Lyrical Dissonance: If the subtitles are to be believed, the seemingly upbeat title theme is about someone despairing at a dream they had that supposedly signifies a lifetime of solitude.
 * Magical Girl
 * Magic Pants: Slightly averted. The girls are left without their clothes right after they un-transform, which float down from nowhere soon after.
 * The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Everyone has their moments, though Riko is the most noticeable, ranging from trying to eat Ken when he first turns into a mouse, to unintentional acts of catness even when she isn't transformed.
 * Nerd Glasses: Rimu and Tamao.
 * Parental Abandonment: Somehow. Mom leaves for a business trip at the beginning of the first episode; Dad is somewhat absent-minded (and absent).
 * Petting Zoo People: pretty much the subject of the anime.
 * Phenotype Stereotype: Hatori Kanon
 * Puppy Dog Eyes: Nagisa pulls this on Ken when they need his help for something. Bonus points for being part puppy while she does it.
 * Sibling Yin-Yang: Riko the extrovert catgirl; Rimu the introvert rabbit-girl.
 * Transformation Sequence
 * Transformation Trinket
