I'm actually very pumped for this special because seriously, who hasn't wanted a case or a few episodes in which Conan/Shinichi would actually be given a real break from being the protagonist? Sometimes Shinichi needs to be more....humanized, in my opinion. However, I would agree that the trailer feels somewhat stale but at the same time, I think they're trying NOT to give away too much about what the actual special might contain... they tried too hard and ended up making it a teensy bit of a snore. The only part that struck me as "awesome" is the end where Conan asks "Who am I?" because.... I'll be stating it below:
As for me I'm very fond of turning characters "OOC", so much that even in the fanfics I used to write, I was bashed often for it. I guess for me....it's because I love to think of the possibilities you can apply onto a character, and I spend a lot of time thinking about how a series or character would be like with some minor (or even major) changes??
Sigh, as for the amount of time.... you're right. Hopefully the series airs soon, but still I also hope someone could sub it soon enough too, because all the suspense Conan gives just gets too overwhelming at times
Okay so this is very off-topic, but I still felt the need to reply to it because I'm actually very interested in Gun Gale, but I will agree that Sword Art isn't that fun a series. I dropped it at episode 21, and I only got there because I was too lazy to even pick up another anime, that phase lasted for about a week or so

Lastly, the one and only fear I have about this special..... Conan himself. I just want a couple episodes where he'd be completely helpless. So I'm totally hoping that he doesn't do anything that showcases his usual "perfection" and "invulnerability". Please please let him be less of a hero for once. If he does anything fantastic that would place the whole world in his hands again, I'll hate this special.
