The anime targets are families, which is why the show airs during the evening. The manga is a shônen, so it technically aims pre-teens and teens. But it's actually quite popular among middle-aged women as well. PS : In a pole where japanese people between 20 and 30 years old were asked which mangas they don't want to see ending, DC placed first among women and third among men (behind Kochikame and One Piece). Men : 1. KOCHI KAME　『こちら葛飾区亀有公園前派出所』　25.3％ 2. ONE PIECE　『ONE PIECE』　20.2％ 3. DETECTIVE CONAN 『名探偵コナン』　16.0％ 4. HUNTER x HUNTER　『HUNTER×HUNTER』　5.9％ 5. HAJIME NO IPPO　『はじめの一歩』　5.1％ Women : 1. DETECTIVE CONAN 『名探偵コナン』　22.5％ 2. ONE PIECE　『ONE PIECE』　18.7％ 3. KOCHI KAME 　『こちら葛飾区亀有公園前派出所』　16.2％ 4. NANA　『NANA』　10.7％ 5. KIMI NI TODOKE　『君に届け』　9.1％

Actually, Gosho hasn't taken a break not due to SS being on break in quite some time.

12 is the only decent/good movie in the last 5 years.

The invisible side ?

Goro-chan solving cases. He's actually done it once when he was introduced (episode 445). BTW, did you know that Minami Takayama voices Goro-chan ? :grin:

Thankfully, no.

M3 has Kid finding out who Conan is, which would mess up the canon. So no.

I'm usually glad they aren't. But if I really had to pick one, I think it would be the second one since it could be canon without messing up the story completely.

Because they probably weren't aware ahead of time that significant episodes were right around the corner. It doesn't really matter anyway, it's not like one character could have saved the show.

I edited. :wink:

Thanks.

It's not a surprise since the japanese who go see the Conan movies are mainly teenage girls, kids (that's why the DB are always there) and their parents (who are just there because someone has to take the kid). And then you have the young adults in their 20s. Basically, most of these people probably don't give a damn about having a good case. They want romance, cute boys, action, some childish humor and Conan doing cool stuff. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-04-25/japanese-box-office-april-19-20

It's not only the car and the explosion but the fact that Mitsuhiko is able to maintain Haibara in the air with one hand while Conan breaks the spikes with his soccer ball despite the fact that all that was supposed to last around 2 seconds.

I hope not. But it's a possibility.

That's another problem. Recently the movies have tried too hard to please the fans by having an overdose of ShinRan in one movie, some idiotic Kaito-Shinichi in another, a pointless BO plot in another because 'OMG it's the BOOOO !!!!!!!!", a story around Heiji and Kazuha in another etc... And it's probably not going to stop unless they just ignore the fan demand for BO movies, more Kid movies, more ShinRan movies or even a Shiho movie. But why would they ? It brings cash. The best movies are the ones which have a basic cast, a decent case and which aren't directed at a particular type of fan. A little bit of character development for canon pairings (for example I enjoyed the Kogoro-Eri story in movie 2) is ok, but it should not take up half of the movie. Basically, never listen to fans.

Well...yes.

3 rules to follow to have a decent movie : -not guest centered (that includes the BO, as well as Kid and Heiji and Kazuha) -not filled with pointless poorly executed actions scenes which take up 1/2 of the time -a well-thought out and developed case with intriguing characters

Episode 376.

Kir Chianti Vermouth Sherry Vodka Gin Calvados Never had bourbon, tequila, pisco or korn.

6 is the worst then. An average case and story and an idiotic social review.

7 as well, though it's in the 'newer ones' category for me, since it was made using digital animation.

Ok with Kyuu. It annoys me when people defend something only because it's 'funny'. Movie 14 had the most crappy case of them all (if you can even call that a case) with worthless, overused and repetitive action scenes to gain some time and justify the ticket price. The fanservice was omnipresent to the point where it made me want to puke, and the few scenes that tried to be funny mostly failed because the jokes were lame and aimed at 5 year-olds (hahaha, Conan is tickling Kid's 'you know what', that's so hilarious...NOT !). The end of the story made no-sense whatsoever (god that blimp scene was terrble) and the final scene almost lead to facepalming becoming an olympic sport.
