Phi-Brain is a very unique series to say the least. Will Kaito be able to take on every puzzle placed in front of him and discover more about the mysterious POG organization? However as Kaito soon learns, POG is willing to do absolutely anything to reach their goal, even if it means killing his friends or destroying an entire city if he fails. To do this, POG is full of people named “Givers” which create difficult puzzles for “Solvers” such as Kaito and other people with special titles such as his to solve at both great risk but also great reward. With this artifact attached to his body, Kaito is given the title of Solver and is introduced to a new side of the world that he never knew existed, one where a mysterious organization known as POG is breeding “Phi-Brains,” highly intelligent people that may be able to solve the “Puzzle of God.” Orpheus unlocks the hidden potential within Kaito’s mind, allowing him to solve even the most difficult of puzzles. Upon solving this puzzle, Kaito receives a special upper-arm bangle that is called Orpheus. Kaito sees puzzles as a form of entertainment that everyone should be able to enjoy, however when Kaito is challenged by a mysterious man to solve a maze puzzle where failure means death, Kaito takes the man up on his challenge in an effort to learn why someone would create such a deadly puzzle. In fact, Kaito is so great at solving puzzles that even puzzles created by a dedicated puzzle solving club barely take him five seconds to complete. In fact he is one of the best puzzle solvers at his new high school. Kaito Daimon may look like a delinquent but appearances can be deceiving. Now that Sentai Filmworks has brought the series overseas in Season One: Collection One, does this formula create something worthwhile? Enter Phi-Brain: Puzzle of God, a series which revolves around just that, solving various puzzles. However despite the prevalence of puzzles in most stories, few take the risk of focusing entirely around solving puzzles as a plot point. Many stories revolve around a puzzle of some kind, whether it be a murder mystery, discovering clues to track down a thief or some other crime related drama to survival situations.
