I see that a lot of new characters (especially ones featured in keyholes) have been added to the character list. I'll be attempting to add in as much information as I know, but if anyone else wants to pitch in be my guest!

I agree with everything Black Demon said except maybe the childhood couples part. I don't mind those that much, being that I'm a ShinRan and in a relationship myself.

Looking back at the votes, I'm surprised M-5 didn't get many votes. It got the same number of votes as M-7, M-10, and M-12, all of which are much worse than M-5 in my opinion.

Changed my favorite opening to 16 instead of 27.

The Haibara scene, in my opinion, wasn't really insulting. It's more symbolic than anything, and it's apparent if you watch it a few times. Haibara sitting alone at first with the mirrors represents her being alone with no one else, and it's striking especially since it's right after the Shinichi and Ran scene, the Kogoro and Eri scene, the Heiji and Kazuha scene, the police officers scene, and the Detective Boys scene, where all of them are portrayed in pairs or in groups. But, a few moments after she first appears, the mirrors vanish and are replaced with the Detective Boys which then make her smile. This represents the fact that the three actual kids in this series, innocent as they are, attempt to make another individual happy in the only way they can: being kind. Even though they don't understand the full situation, they at least try, and it's that act of kindness that makes sure Haibara is never alone with those mirrors again. That's just the way I read it. I'm sure other people may think differently.

I personally think he's a bit overrated. The original MK series is fine, since it's mainly comedy, but when he's featured in DC... Bleh, I could do without it. Most of his cases aren't that great and I never look forward to them. The only cases that I look forward to are BO cases. Just my two cents.

I've never heard of them or seen them, but since everyone else says they exist we'll just go with that then. Living in New Jersey makes it extremely difficult to find rare and exclusive DC related stuff like the movie mangas. But I think I'd prefer the movies themselves anyway, mostly because it's in color, you can hear them speak, and there's Katsuo's amazing music.

I'm not saying B'z isn't good, it's just that Garnet Crow's songs seem to appeal to me just a hair more. I'm still a B'z fan, and I look forward to their new releases.

Though M-13 isn't plot related, I'll answer your questions the best I can. > When Irish says those words he probably realized that the BO is a lying low blow organization that doesn't play fair. He probably had a change of heart and made it clear to Conan (Shinichi) to continue and fight the organization. > As for this, I really have no idea. They might have had a few conversations about Shinichi, but I doubt it. > When Chianti shot Irish, she shot the memory card as well. The bullet hit the memory card and then continued its path to hit Irish. That's why Gin told Irish to move closer. Not because he couldn't see the chip well, but because he wanted him to line up with Chianti's sights.

Just read the file. I'm interested to learn more about this Phantom Lady, and I want to see how she ties in with the plot. And the old man with the eye patch glasses... Want to know more about him, too.

I definitely don't think this is their best work, and Pilgrim isn't bad at all. EDIT: The real opening has been uploaded to YouTube! Finally, after all this time waiting, it has been released! Okay, so this is my opinion of it: I have to say this is one of the most flawlessly done openings so far. I extremely like this song, which sort of makes me a bit biased, but I think most people would agree Misty Mystery is better than As the Dew. Anyway, as for the opening, I am relieved that they have gone back to showing a huge number of characters in the openings. I think the only person they missed that I was sort of expecting was Okiya, but I can overlook that. The opening referred to a few cases (the London arc being one of them). They also showed a scene from one of the HeijixKazuha episodes, just forgot the name of it. The opening has a lot of ShinRan of course, but nothing too special. Haibara appears very briefly at one part with the Detective Boys, but it was symbolic so I guess it wasn't too bad for her. But most importantly, the BO has returned! They haven't had an appearance in an opening since Summer Time Gone, and that was OP-29. Not to mention they only appeared for a brief split second as a shadowy image. The real solid appearance they had was in OP-28, As the Dew. I don't really know why OP-30 and OP-31 lacked the BO. Don't Wanna Lie could have very easily featured them, but they didn't. Oh well, what's done is done. I'm really happy with this opening, considering the dry spell we've had for months. I give it a 9/10. Hope OP-33 can live up to it! I decided to add the opening to the first post of this thread for those of you who don't feel like going on YouTube to find it yourself. Enjoy!

I thought it was pretty good. If you hear the longer version of the song, it's better than the opening version (listen to it here).
