Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
http://forums.gotwoot.net/gallery/files/9/7/6/2/neuro.jpg
Based on the shounen manga by Matsui Yuusei serialised in Weekly Shounen Jump.
Neuro is a being from the underworld, who likes to eat "riddles" and "mysteries" and since he had heard that mysteries abound in the world above, he comes surface side in search of the ultimate riddle capable of satisfying his insatiable hunger. He arrives in front of Katsuragi Yako whose father has been murdered, and smells a tasty riddle...
He helps her to solve the murder on her father and in turn forces Yako to act as a detective in his stead, always searching for the ultimate riddle. -AniDB

Now, I'm not traditionally the greatest consumer of mystery and specifically detective stories, particularly in anime form, though I have seen a few. This is probably mainly because I tend to look for shows that have some out of real life elements (aside from those multitude of high-school comedies and such). Still, this series got my attention because of the demonic influence.
The first episode was quite nice, though it felt a bit hurried considering the criminal case. But perhaps this first episode was more of an introduction of the characters, their relationships and dispositions. At that it succeeded quite well. But I hope in the future solving the cases will be more intellectual processes.
Other than that Yako and Neuro are both quite funny characters. Yako is blissfully ignorant of everything going on around her while "studying" the crime scenes, despite being called a remarkable detective. Neuro is suitably demonic, using Yako ruthlessly as his cover, and I hope he will remain that way.
