Is there an anime that has a protagonist/prominently features a female detective character that is really ditsy/bubbly, but is somehow really good at solving crimes and whatnot?

I don't know, those don't particularly fit what I'm looking for, based on my brief skim of the character lists on Wikipedia. I mean a character more like, say, Ibuki Mioda from Danganronpa, or Star from Star vs The Forces of Evil, that kind of character, for those who know either of those characters.

there's barely any detective anime, even less with quirky females being the detectives
just watch monster and move on anon

She might only be a detective occasionally, but it's exactly as you describe.

The first episode is pretty slow but it has hands down the best school festival arc I've ever seen
Milky Holmes is the anime for you

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin has best girl Tensai. She is what you are looking for.
