Summary
Teenage magician Kaito Kuroba has a secret identity: that of Kaitou KID, a famous internationally-known and wanted "phantom thief". Kaito took the identity after one day discovering that his late father was the original Kaitou KID. Later on, he discovers his father, who died from an 'accident' during a magic trick, was really murdered because he would not steal the jewel Pandora for an evil organization. As Kaitou KID, Kaito tries to find Pandora before that organization that killed his father do, and destroy it, leading Inspector Nakamori and his task force on the wildest jewel heists imaginable!
... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
