‘Moriarty the Patriot’ or ‘Yuukoku no Moriarty’ is not the first anime inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s brilliant creation. Over the years, the industry has churned out gems like ‘Sherlock Hound,’ ‘Holmes Of Kyoto,’ ‘Detective Conan/Case Closed,’ and ‘Case File Nº221: Kabukicho.’ What sets ‘Moriarty the Patriot’ apart is not just that it shifts the mantle of the protagonist from Sherlock to his greatest nemesis, Moriarty, but that it also rigorously depicts certain issues that plagued the contemporary society, including, class divide and the effects of colonialism, towards which Doyle works only make vague hints.
