RELATED: Detective Conan Has Published a Quarter of a Billion Copies The deer-stalker cap, tweed suits, Inverness cape and pipe are always the outfit of choice when someone wants to recreate Sherlock Holmes - it's just so recognizable. Because he is so well-known and most likely the most famous fictional detective of all time (sorry, Batman), it's easy for people who know nothing about mysteries and detective stories to recognize the character. Holmes' attention to detail, his miraculous deductions from seemingly innocuous things and his rivalry with Professor Moriarty have become the subject of many adaptations. Since his first appearance in 1887's A Study in Scarlet, Holmes has captivated mystery-lovers for over a century. Numerous mystery anime have fallen back on this trope and honestly, it's gotten stale.
However, at some point, it stops becoming an homage and just turns into a trope. It's like trying to talk about anime without mentioning Dragon B all Z or video games without Super Mario Bros. It's hard to talk about the mystery genre without at least mentioning the influence of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
