Posts fixed Hi! I dug around the Internet to see if I could get a full list of interviews Gosho has ever given so far, and this is the fruit of my work. (Lol you can see that Gosho usually gives interviews around April, probably for hyping up the movies.) Of these, I have the raws for Conan Drill, Detective Conan & Kindaichi Case Files, and the Monkey Punch & Aoyama Gosho talk from Endless Youth & Co. I'm thinking about translating them, but I want to make sure they're not translated already - so, I'm wondering if these three interviews are translated already or not? Interviews from other people EDIT: Copy & pasting some older posts I've made:

Discuss unresolved parts of past and current plots here, although please consider typing in-depth discussion in the relevant topical thread if possible, or creating a separate thread if necessary. For your convenience here is a list of many of the unresolved plots. Please suggest any additions or links to threads where a plot is being discussed.(I did not come up with all of these. Please see original post here.)

Everybody know that detectiveconan started sixteen years ago-I mean the manga-and still conan is a one-grader. Isn't that strange? other than that, there are 561episodes now, that means there are 1.5 case a day. Also, there are 8 christmas, 2 valentine in it already...still it seems to be all in one year. Apart from that, there are a problem about Mr.Mouri-his neck had been stung by conan's watch for 500 times, it has to become a bumblebee nest now... maybe that is why he always says his neck hurt. What do you guys think?

July 8, 2014 Attention was called to the fact that threads are all spread out with a single work of art in one thread rather than by artist. Starting today I am merging all threads by artist and creating a list of all the artists so people can easily find them. This is going to take a while, so please be patient. If you have any questions, please ask. Artist Guide All the artists who have contributed to the fanart section are listed below in alphabetical order. Also, if you are new or this is your first time posting in the drawing section, please check out the Q&A below.

Original art painted in photoshop falls under digital art. pixel art = digital art constructed pixel by pixel video = a video made of the artist's own fanart, AMVs go under the video forum subsection Q&A for artists 1. How do I start an art thread and what are the rules? Unless you are posting a tutorial, question, request, collection, or there is some unique circumstance, please keep all your art to one thread. When you add new art to your thread, make a new post to bump your thread so people notice, but also add a link to the new post in the first post so viewers don't have to search your entire thread just to find the posts with art in them. You can get the link to a particular post by clicking the small number in the upper-right-hand corner of that post's box and copying the address that comes up. Detective Conan and non-Detective Conan art is allowed, although more people will be interested in Detective Conan art. If your art is based off manga spoilers, please use a spoiler box to hide it and tell people that there are spoilers inside so no one will be surprised. For mature art, please be aware that there are young visitors to this website, and that this is not the best place for such work. If you post someone else's art, always make sure you state who made it, and link back to where you got it. Some people don't like their work being posted by other people. If so, please do not post their work; instead link to them. Use common sense and courtesy and things should work out okay. 2. How do I post pictures? If you uploaded it to a website like deviantart, photobucket, imageshack, etc..., either link to the image or insert the image with . If you do insert the image, please use a spoiler box for large images. If you haven't uploaded your picture online, use the attachments function below the post box when you are in full editor mode. Note there is a size limit. There is also a troubleshooting thread if you are still having problems: How do you add pictures to posts? 3. I changed my username! Tell a mod that you need your name changed in the drawing reference thread. 4. My listing needs updating/correcting! Tell a mod how you need your listing changed in the drawing reference thread. 5. How do I change my thread title to let people know what's new? Edit your first post, select Use full editor, and you will have the option to edit your topic title, topic description, and change or add a poll if you like. 6. How do I critique a drawing that needs ... a lot of improvement? Critique using constructive criticism and common sense. Most people want to learn how to improve and will understand if you point out things that need improvement. If the user starts getting angry though, it is better just to back off. Ignoring good advice is their loss. 7. I think someone is stealing or copying art! What do I do? Before accusing them or getting a moderator, make sure they are actually stealing or copying art. For stealing situations, be aware some users may have a posted their work elsewhere under a different name, so make sure the alleged stealer isn't the same person as the original artist. The fastest way to find out would to post nicely asking if they are artist XYZ on website ABC with a link. If they are the same person, you will get a pleasant response. If they aren't, then you've exposed the thief, provided proof, and were polite all in one post. Point this out to the moderators and you are set. For copying situations, with exceptions, it generally isn't considered stealing if an artist uses a little bit of someone else's work AND ALSO credits the original back. Copying work or part of work of more experienced artists is very common among new artists looking to improve, but this is only allowed if they explain they are making a copy/tracing/whatever and credit the original. The best case would be to also include the original picture too in the post. Improving another fanartist's work without permission is generally frowned on.
