Do I look like it?

I wouldn't want to say this but your attempt was a fail. :3

Word. :3

Are you really talking to me? :>

It's fairly best not to get excited in the Black Organization plot. You'll probably have to suffer waiting for the anime after watching all the episodes. Use Detective Conan to kill time, positively. :3 (That's what I did when I wanted to understand Movie 13. :> )

Oh, sorry for the wrong suggestion. I kind of misunderstood. I'll let him "not compete with me anymore" by letting him win (on something) which will convince him that he is better than you. That should shut him up and let him be your ordinary best friend. :3 But I'd say that's a good thing, btw. Wouldn't want to lose a competitive best friend, ya' know. Too bad I don't have those kinds of best friends. :<

You must have some best friend there. :\ Usually, I'd just shut him up by making him speechless by impressing him. :3 I'm not much of help since I don't have that kind of best friend. :>

Self-study idea: First would be the usual, looking for your inspiration, goal, blah, blah, blah. Second would be getting a good source to study Japanese. There are a lot of guides out there. Choose the guides that teaches you Hiragana and Katakana first. Don't choose the guides in romaji because acc. to some people, it's like a trap, telling you it's easy, but it's harder in the late part of the learning. Third would be, assuming you have mastered the guide or something, look for another guide. Repeating step 2 would be great but there aren't much great Japanese guides out there but trying them all would be nice. Be wary though that it might confuse you some times so make sure your source is reliable. (Hopefully, using the a romaji guide would be fine; just make sure you know what hiragana or katakana to use. If you don't, don't bother learning with that guide.) Fourth would be watching anime without subtitle (soft subs would be great), make your own translation in a pad or something, check it out if it has the same thought with the translation of the subbers. (At this step, you might need a Japanese to English dictionary.) The fourth step was something from Subculture Anime Blog. :3 Alternatively, you could go to Japanese chat rooms (and talk to 'em); make sure it's your preferred topic or it might bore you. At this time, you should be able to translate them immediately without having to think about which word goes. You are now good to go but let me tell you something, you might not be fluent in Japanese (especially in the accentuation part) but when you meet fluent Japanese-speaking people, don't be bothered or feel negative about them speaking fluently and you trying hard to speak fluently. It's fairly natural especially since you're not from Japan (making it not unusual). (Some people might make fun of you, probably idiots, but reasonable people wouldn't do that.) --- I have read a Japanese guide, not even halfway through. These are just some tips I got from a lot of people while searching about Japanese. And by the way, I can't read/understand/write Japanese. These are tips from someone who doesn't know Japanese. (Of course, a person who watches anime like me should know some of the basics like the honorific titles.) And yeah, all of these are my ideas and thoughts. They aren't necessarily facts. :3

You don't. This is just for the lulz and da fun. :3 o rly pwnz j00. :3

Cat. Mouse or Rat?

According to the Sharon Vineyard, a.k.a. Vermouth, wiki, she first appeared in episode 176.

I'm not planning to read the manga since Detective Conan will eventually cover things up (although might take a long time). :3

Welcome to Detective Conan World! Hope you enjoy your stay here, theearthdew. :3

The movies are non-manga based so all you need to know are the basic information or: - watch the Black Organization-related episodes before the airing of Movie 13. The episodes that aired before April 18, 2009 end in episode 529. I would want to help point out the Black Organization-related episodes but I really have no idea (now). :3

At around Grade 4 or 5, I got hooked up with Detective Conan, the first mystery anime I watched. It was "interesting" and was broadcast in Animax especially the first episode. Regardless of whether the episode was a filler or not, I was filled with excitement (and still am). I couldn't actually distinguish an (obvious) filler from the ones based on the manga since I had a too immature mind back then. Without HD space, I was "forced" to watch it in TV. And sadly, the broadcasting stopped. It disappointed me a lot... Almost felt like I was in a breakdown or something but as months passed, it cheered me up a bit. MANY YEARS LATER: With 200GB space (or probably more than that), we were able to download all the available English subbed anime. I was really happy and watched it in marathon. In a month or two, I was able to watch the entire 500 episodes of Detective Conan. (I had a lot of free time right now, and what can I say, I got addicted.) After watching the entire anime series, I watched all the Detective Conan movies in one day (or one day and a half). Yeah, I got addicted that badly. :3 After watching the movies, it's now the tearjerking OVA. And here I am now, waiting for more Detective Conan episodes, movies, and OVAs (and reading mystery novels all because of Detective Conan). It had a great impact in my life, positively. :3

That's probably what would happen (except the last part about telling the Detective Boys).

We have other people who like anime and manga. They wouldn't particularly tease me for anything or else I would criticize that they watch crappy anime and read crap. :\ (And that's apparently true, personally)
