  1. For my review I’m going to split plot and story into 2 categories. Plot will refer to canon content and story will refer to everything else. Plot: I have to say that this is a really interesting anime and it makes me excited when new cases come out that involve the Black Organization. I like stories that involve a lot of mystery/plot twists, and the canon of Detective Conan does not fail to amaze me. The amount of stress Shinichi goes through every time he has to tell Ran that he won’t be able to make it just burns a hole in my heart. And to make it even worse, we get OVA 9 that just destroys me. I know Gosho is one “Master troll” but seeing Genta’s face in almost every post-BO case stops me from giving Detective Conan’s plot a perfect score. With that said, I think it would be interesting to see cases involving Shinichi (or Conan if he is stuck in that form forever) after his final engagement with the BO. I’ll also include arcs like metropolitan police love story and desperate revival in this section but I won’t talk about them… even though they are incredible and very fun to watch. 8/10 (When the plot finally ends this score will probably go higher) Story: I choose to split the two because aside from the repetitive praise that the plot will get I just have to talk about the fillers. Please keep in mind, although I do find some cases strange and/or stupid, I do plan on watching every case because I like how there is always that slim chance that I will solve the case before Conan’s explanation. How on earth has Conan/Shinichi’s identity been kept a secret for this long?! I mean, for someone to actually solve cases while they sleep in absolutely absurd. I know Kogoro has thought to himself “I don’t remember how I solved it.” Etc, etc, etc. But come on it is getting ridiculous. (It is the same for Sonoko and everyone else Conan put to sleep and solved cases using their voice) However, on that point, it is funny to see how Conan manages to wiggle himself and Kogoro out of suspicion. Don’t even get me started on the Detective Boys and cases revolving around them. 2/10 3/10 Just because this is the only anime that I’ve seen more than 100 episodes of so it’ll get the extra point. Animation/Art: Detective Conan is the only that I’m still watching (Apart from animes that have ended and I’m watching for a 2nd or 3rd time through). I have to say that I love how the characters have evolved from their giant elephant ears into a pair that dumbo wish he had. Even though everyone has aged only a little bit, it is interesting to watch episode 1-10 then watch the 10 newest episodes to see how much the art has changed. As for the animation part, there isn’t much to say. If you were talking about Code Geass or Black Lagoon it would be easier, but Detective Conan doesn’t need “the best animation” because 99.99% of the time they are slowly walking or just standing there talking. As for when some action is actually going on, it is only when Conan is defying gravity. Oh my god I just remembered movie 15’s car animations… but I’ll let it slide because they were trying something different. If they do that again I’ll be disappointed. 8/10 Sound: I would have never found some of the opening songs that I like if it weren’t for Detective Conan. Even the main theme for DC is awesome. As for sounds/music within episode or movies, once again… awesome. I wish they would continue the dub because English is my first language and that is the way I prefer it. Although, I can’t deduct any points from the score because it doesn’t have to be translated. Nor should it be translated if they are going to switch the names. 9.5/10 (I would give sound 10, but there might be something I’m missing that I can’t think off the top of my head) Characters: Apart from 3 kids I like every character. Pretty much every reoccurring character has their own unique traits that make them awesome every episode there are in. With that, we can expect what the mood of an episode just by seeing 1 character. The show has a lot of exciting moments because of the Black Organizations fight with the FBI/CIA, we get a fair share of hilarious moments with Heiji/Kazuda/Ran/Conan, and we get to see how relationships build up, my favourite being Takagi/Sato (usually starting being childhood friends because Gosho likes that idea… A LOT!) And I know I keep poking jokes at the detective boys, but I do understand that Conan would have to make a few friends during school or else he would go insane. But, I still wish death upon them. 9/10 (Would have been 10 but you know who appear in almost every episode/movie etc.) Originality : This is kind of hard to say because the story (not plot) is pretty much based off of earlier ideas, for example; Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, Edogawa Rampo’s Kogoro character and detective boys “gang”, and Agatha Christie’s “Poirot”. It is obvious that Gosho got his inspiration from the 3 authors above to write about his own “consulting detective”. As mentioned above, he also pays tribute to those 3 by the constant references to their works throughout the series. As for the plot (BO related), I’ve never seen anything like it. 10/10 (perfect score because even with my little hatreds(spelling? lol) towards parts of the plot, it is original for me haha) Overall: I would recommend Detective Conan to all anime lovers. However, I would tell them to skip pretty much all fillers and detective boys’ cases for their repetitive nature unless they really really really wanted to watch more. Still, that only applied to episodes, the movies/OVA’s/magic files are a real breath of fresh air because, for the most part *cough movie 11* they are awesome. Unfortunately, as much as I like Detective Conan, I cannot ignore how much Gosho has trolled us with the series going from a thrilling Black Organization case, to the detective boys being the detective boys. Don’t get me wrong, I do not hate fillers. The amount of them almost outweighs the number of brilliant and superbly well thought-out episodes. 8/10 I really didn't go into much detail because this could easily be 3 or 4 times the length and I haven't seen a lot of the cases for over 2 years now and my memory of them is a little fuzzy.

    You're right, somehow I didn't read your post. Out of all the people I gave this puzzle to, only the two of you got it. I guess all of that detective conan has trained you guys

    0 = ZERO 1 = ONE (O and E have been use already) 2 = TWO (O has been used) 3 = THREE (All but H have been used already) 4 = FOUR 5 = FIVE Since 4 = IV (Roman numerals) 5 = IV 5 = 4 Congratz Miike

    You came to the same conclusion as someone else on another forum, unfortunately it is wrong. Think what what letters 0=?

    1=N 3=H 8=G 11=L 20=Y Given that, why does 5=4? Hint: You must start from 0 for this puzzle to work.
  6. Yeah! Moonlight Sonata! EDIT: Why is it only this topic that I double post?!?!? I only hit add reply once!
  7. As much as I hate the DB, I didn't find them too annoying throughout movie 15. And the snowball fight scene was interesting because they actually made Conan and Haibara act like a first grader. But the whole plot didn't catch my attention at all, I found it boring to be honest. Although, I did like the ending.
  8. Oh god what have I started? Someone needs to forward these to Gosho
  9. Errr. I double posted by accident, how do I delete a post? lol
  10. I think that the earlier cases had a much more emotional feel to them. Which makes for a better ending to each episode.
  11. How the hell did I get a mosquito bite on my ear? Crafty little buggers.

  12. Yusaku is the boss. I say that because the only reason why he let Shinichi continue fighting the organization is so that Yusaku can crush Shinichi with the bottom of his dirty shoes... o.O But the epic twist is that Yusaku is actually Yukiko in disguise, Yukiko is Vermouth in disguise, Vermouth is Jodie in disguise, Jodie is Bourbon in disguise, Bourbon is Akai in disguise. MEANWHILE: Conan, Ai, Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Agasa missed the whole battle because they were to busy involved with another anime original.
  13. Nah, I doubt her main goal in DC is to out-wit Shinichi when it comes to deductions.

    It would be kind of weird to have a side story for Heiji because it would be the same show with Heiji instead of Conan. (Same show as in same types of mysteries same kind of plots... just without the detective boys, which I wouldn't mind to much.) I would like to see a side story for either the FBI or the Black Organization and watching the show from their point of view. That would be very interesting in my opinion. Maybe the police as well, but we have seen a lot of background for the major police characters anyways.
  15. To be honest I didn't even know that the voice actors were changed for Kogoro until someone pointed it out... So no, I don't really mind him being changed
  16. Search for the videos on youtube if you don't want to search anywhere else for them.
  17. I liked movie 14 better just because that guy threw Conan out of the window.
  18. Has Conan/Shinichi ever had a canon birthday? I mean, at the end of movie 1 it was his birthday. But has there been any manga case where it was his birthday?
  19. I remember watching the movie, but it was a long long time ago so I really don't remember anything about it. I did like it though. I think a second one came out? I haven't seen it yet if it has o.O
  20. Yes, but he creates his characters from nothing. Either a blank piece of paper before he draws what the character will look like, or a blank piece of paper that he will fill in with the characters personality... ... ... lawls

    my sweetie, sherry

    Wow, you really did capture everyones personality in this one. Awesome!
  22. I think this has been blown a little to much out of proportion. This being a detective conan site: -the posts on the forums should be detective conan related -rewards should be given to those that participate in detective conan related topics However, like Aeyra said, the forum games section has without a doubt brought up a lot of friendships through those that regularly posted there. I'm sure it has also brought a lot of people to actually use the forums and bring this site more popularity. If those posts had never counted toward your overall post count I do not think so many people would have contributed to so many games and "spammed" them to achieve such a high post count. I can kind of see why anyone would argue that it is a little to late to now decide posts in that section don't count, but I just do not see the point of posting 100+ times a day in forum games. Maybe it is just that I don't have the time, or that I just don't care about about my own post count. I can see that it is fun for some, so I won't say anything else on that matter. Lastly, the forum games section is still there for you guys to use, it isn't like this new rule takes it out completely. I suggest that for those that post there daily to make up challenges like "How many people can post during 11:11 AM/PM". Stuff like that which will keep some meaning to spamming that section.
  23. Wow I never even thought of this. Imagine if she was dumped by Shinichi AND found out he was Conan that whole time. Ran would probably kick his head right off. +100 for decapitation.
