I just start tuning out the Kaito Kid haters because they just never have anything solid to say. I don't understand why you're participating with that on a thread about the movie when you say you haven't seen it, don't hate Kid, and as someone who has seen it, I seek out this thread to discuss what happens in the movie and all I see is several posts whining about Kid. Why? DC has gone on so long that without Kid throwing in a very different flavor, it would have become SEVERELY more stale faster. Many of the movies that haven't included him had suffered the same fate as much of the series, which is extreme predictability and nothing but bombs and explosions. It's also nice to see Shinichi, even if it is Kaito pretending to be him. Wow that is an excellent point. It seems they're keeping the timeline to be the original one, but like the manga/show has been keeping up with tech. It's always amusing to me to see how much the early cases would have changed if someone just had a cell phone, and then in the latest stuff, which is suppose to be less than a year later, people have smartphones.

I wish you would give a logical reason to all this Kid hate you have, Balthazar. The only logical argument against Kid I've ever heard was from Kyuu telling me he just didn't like how the focus took away from Black Org plot... (which given how little plot we have isn't entirely true, just more AO) As a former magicians assistant I know I'm a bit biased but come on. If you don't like it, why do you feel the need to constantly rain on the parade of those that do? It's nice to finally have someone show up in DC non canon who isn't taken in by stupid half truths told by Conan/Shinichi. The only bad parts of the movie are that really stupid motive of the actual thief, and the confusing and over the top collapsing building.

You can say it's amazing or suburb until you're red in the face, but that will never make it true. You can like whatever you want, I fully admit to liking some things that aren't the best, but if we encourage sub par work, they will only continue to give that amount of effort. Just look at this screencap where pieces of stuff are missing and overlapping weird. I noticed this and went back to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. I cannot even describe how pissed I am at how cheap and crappy both this and SMCrystal are. And yes, you saying its soo amazing when it's not? That makes me even more angry. Don't settle for crap. They're made it incredibly easy to see how bad it is given they said it wasn't going to be a reboot, but then it was literally a reboot. You can side to side compare it to the specials and episodes. I'm offended as an artist and a fan by how bad this animation is. As for the Crystal Mother, I just skipped 4 times within the episode and knew it was the same all over again. Disappoint. :\ Next one looks like the fangirl princess? :S

As other people have posted around the web, I'm scared for the animation, and curious as to if we are getting a third version of the Crystal Mother, lol. I really liked how they were taking the Spider thing, and it made Hakuba more interesting, so I hope that reuse or keep him in it. If it's "different," is it a reboot per se, or just that it won't be in the same timeslot? I guess nobody knows quite yet?

The animation has sadly been bad for a few years now. I was just showing a friend tonight the openings, because everything from the mid 20s onward is bad. Generally you can tell the animation in DC based on the hands alone; if they're bad, the whole thing is going to be subpar. :\

Do we know what kind of ratings MK even gets? Considering how off the manga it started going, I'm kind of surprised they haven't spinning it more off (tbh I'm more than okay with that). I also found it interesting they gave him a theme, and then never used it again.

Maybe she's tricked, or maybe she's holding her tongue. We really don't know, she gets so complacent sometimes, that it's hard to tell what she is thinking.

A something with just the police would be great, and they could even do a Law and Order style show with the police and the lawyers that have shown up. :3 Also something with Heiji. He makes mistakes, and that makes for great character development.
