I've been asking myself the same thing. I really don't find his face familiar at all. Maybe Chekhov or Kyuu will know, considering they've memorized just about all the cases.

Good picture. I like the shading, and it doesn't look that weird at some parts at all. I'm not exactly a perfectionist, so don't take my word for it, but I think it's great!

Definitely one of the best I've seen. It's nice to see some more Gin and Akai drawings, and these are flawless. Really good shading, proportions, etc. One rep for you! Keep up the great work!

The faces are too narrow and the shading is a bit uneven and messy. The proportions and angles are a bit funny as well. But considering you're only 12 and you have time to improve, it's pretty good. I hope I don't sound too harsh. Keep up the great work and you'll get better in no time.

Hopefully, this relatively new director will be able to make M-16 as big of a hit as M-15 apparently was. The director for M-8 to M-14 was a disaster for the most part. I just hope he doesn't run out of ideas as fast as the previous director, who started to become clueless after M-9... I'm crossing my fingers that this creative soccer field idea won't be the last good idea until a new director comes along.

I'd have to agree with you on the first one (M-6), but slightly disagree with the other two. I personally couldn't care less about Heiji, and the story plot in that movie (M-7) was extremely boring in my opinion. It didn't have that excitement some of the earlier movies had. Same goes with M-8, except I care even less about Kaito Kid than I do about Heiji. I only sort of liked M-8 because it was the first movie I watched, but other than that I thought it could have been a lot better.

Like Chekhov has mentioned before, the BO probably won't appear until the big double zero. For the next 13 chapters, I'm betting on just a few average cases with very little (if any) plot development.

And why is that? He barely appears, and when he does he's not at all that annoying compared to some other characters...

Those two were actually pretty funny! A rep for you!

In general, I like the newer style. Especially since the drawings for the anime aren't as sloppy as they used to be from around 500-600. After 600, they started to get a bit better, more like the movies.

The ending has been released already! Pilgrim's run as the ending was an extremely short one, and now this new chibi ShinRan ending has replaced it. I've added it to the first post of this topic for easy viewing. My thoughts: It's a pretty simple ShinRan ending, not too much symbolism involved in this one. The song isn't too bad, and I enjoy listening to it. I give this ending a 3.5/5 due to it's lack of originality. But please share your thoughts on this new ending! Enjoy!

Also, using that chapter page you posted, did anyone else find it suspicious that James Black was the only one who recognized Sera as being a girl on the first try? Not to mention he only saw a picture of her and never actually met her in person. Everyone else (Conan, the police, Ran and Sonoko, etc.) all thought she was a boy, but this one man figured out she was a girl with only a picture as reference. James Black uses the excuse that his eyes have been cultivated this way with age, but I have a feeling he's keeping something away from the other agents. I think he knows Sera and has possibly come into contact with her before, but he can't tell anyone. I just don't know how this would tie in with anything.

He probably told them the majority of the truth. He probably said this strange man disguised as Matsumoto and attacked everyone for no real apparent reason. Then he was accidentally killed when the strange helicopter randomly started shooting at the Tokyo Tower. The BO probably had hackers delete all of Irish's actual information (real name, age, finger prints, etc.) from the police's headquarters, ergo the police have no leads and the strange case is never to be solved.
