Animal Detective Kuruminzoo (あにゃまる探偵 キルミンずぅ Anyamaru Tantei Kiruminzuu) is a Japanese Magical Comedy anime series created by Shōji Kawamori. It is one of Kawamori's most recent work in collaboration with Hal Film Maker and JM Animation, making it Kawamori's first Shōjo title.[1] Animated by Satelight, the series premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo on October 5, 2009. A manga spinoff is serialized in Shueisha's Shōjo magazine Ribon.
Riko and Rimu Mikogami are twin sisters who live in Kamihama, a Japanese city abundant with natural wonders. On an otherwise peaceful day, while searching for a run-away cat, the two come across a mysterious Kirumin compact in an attic. With the Kirumin, these character-costume-wearing girls can transform into real animals. Their older sister Nagisa Mikogami soon joins them. Now the three have cute, funny and sometimes dangerous adventures while solving a lot of mysteries they encounter.
Kawamori's theme for the anime is: "What if you can really transform into an animal?"
