New Here - Question

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I recently joined the forum. I've seen a number of the TV episodes (up to about 208 now), and several of the animated movies.

I'm curious, what are the OAVs? Also, what's all the chatter about live-action stuff? Have there been live-action shows or movies?

Thanks for any info you can give - I'm anxious to learn all I can!

Very Important Information from IdentityUnknown: 037.gif

Member TItle:

0 posts --> Newbie

5 posts --> Member

30+ posts --> Advanced Member

500+ posts --> Whatever you want (as long as it's appropriate). As you see, a lot of us have things like "DCW's Best..." "DCW's..." etc.

500 posts may seem like a lot, but if you put time and effort into it, you can get there really quickly (I'm a prime example of that, got there in, um, 4 days).

Reputation:

Reputation is a representation of how popular the member is (or sometimes, how good their posts are). As Mohorovicic says,

To give someone a rep, click the green + at the bottom-right of their post. You can only rep 5 times a day, only rep a post once, can't rep yourself, etc.

And for your questions...

OVA is Original Video Animation. It's kinda like a side story

Live action is like a Cosplay thing. Pretty much it's not really related, but it's fun to watch.

3 Live actions, 11 OVAs, and 15 Movies.

OVAs are usually regular-episode-length stories... the thing they have in common is that they went straight to home video without being aired on TV

there have been three live-action specials so far, two with a particular cast, and one with a different cast... there is also a live action series starting in July, which will have the same base cast as the third special

in addition to the animated series, movies, and OVAs, there are also magic files. the first magic file did not contain any new content - it was simply a collection of prior episodes, which were able to be tied to movie 11. every magic file after that collected old cases, but also included a new story specifically related to movie 12, 13, 14, 15, respectively

Cool, thanks for the info.

With the live-action stories, were they all with the teenagers?

the first and third one were, but the second one included Shinichi and Shiho as children... although they turned back (and later reverted) over the course of the story. So as not to goof it up too much, Takayama-san and Hayashibara-san dubbed over the two child-forms' voices, respectively. the first live-action ran right up to the beginning of the animated series, so we did see the Detective Boys from the back and heard them dubbed over as well.

I personally anticipate the upcoming series not including any of the children... they probably got a really negative reaction for doing what they did in the second special
