No no! Let us perfect the incomplete detective, so that we may raise the dead against the sea of time! I think Ran atop the spire was supposed to evoke the whole 'princess trapped in a tower by the forces of evil' thing, so I'm guessing that the evil forces that separated Ran and Conan in the beginning were the ones who put her up there. It bothers me as well, that Ran's role in this opening was damsel in distress, because it really undermines Ran's true character. More often than not in canon, Conan is the one who is the damsel in distress, and Ran needs to come to his rescue. That being said though, I liked the intimacy between Ran and Conan in this opening. The two of them holding hands, Ran falling gently into his arms, them staring lovingly at one another... X3

Yeah, that's definitely a good guess, since we've heard lots of little things about him without ever seeing him. Also he has the BO connection thing going.

I've recently been favouring the idea of Vermouth's husband as Anokata, but it still isn't a perfect match in my head. He was mentioned in the New York case (right? Or maybe I'm remembering wrong), so maybe that complies with Aoyama-sensei's statement...? Hahaha, Yamamura is in the poll. XD But seriously, how amazing would it be if it turned out to be him? Best example of 'obfuscating stupidity' ever.

I know everyone will feel differently about this opening, but I really feel like you guys are overreacting. The opening was cheesy, yes. But ALL Detective Conan openings are cheesy, in my opinion. And I love their cheesiness. The openings are adorable bits of fluff, and nothing more. That being said, the angle at which they approached this opening was indeed a bit different from the usual. I wonder if maybe they were not so much trying too hard as they were trying for something new. I love all the openings (even Tear Drops - le gasp! o_O), but they are all very much the same thing (minus millions of boxes of dancing girls). I wouldn't say this new opening is very original either, but maybe they were attempting to achieve something different... Hence the flying words, action hero Heiji, pokemon shounen tantei-dan, goth loli Haibara, princess Ran. XD Haha, writing all of that makes me laugh at myself, but I really liked each of those silly additions...
