Hobgoblin2012 49 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 Also he leaves them behind...why wouldn't he they are not smart like him or equipped. They will only be in danger This is anime/manga, everything is possible: he could teach them something, make Mitsuhiko his detective heir But seriously, he could at least pretend he cares about their feelings and doesn't want to provoke envy. At least, to give some random explanations. That other case you mentioned is one of my favorites too, even though it's a filler. The thief who said the name "Detective Boys" made him so afraid!

Hobgoblin2012 49 Report post Posted December 29, 2014 I don't remember if I already posted that, but the character that annoys me the most is Kaito Kid: he never goest to jail in DC, never loses to anybody, and more often this happens, more full of himself he becomes. Lupin III at least sometimes goes to jail or finds himself in funny situations. Conan basically accomplishes nothing in Kid cases: he doesn't manage to PREVENT the theft, and that means Kid has won because after that he returns the object anyway. The fact that Conan reveals who he was disguised as also doesn't count because Kid would have probably done it himself too; since the theft is committed, he doesn't care about being unmasked, since he doesn't go to jail. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always seen Kid cases as comic relief. It's a nice break from the dismal atmosphere that comes from the usual DC cases. Kid cases aren't meant to be realistic either. It's not like this guy is stealing without a purpose or advocating crimes, haha. To be honest, none of the characters really "get on my nerves," but there are some I have a few problems with. Ran- I've posted about this before, so I'll just post a link to it here. Conan/Shinichi- So terribly unrealistic. It's hard to sympathize with this guy--he's basically a walking automaton who solves cases for a living. I especially dislike how Gosho basically glorifies him to the point where he barely has any flaws. I think I've said enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but what I mean is that, even if the thefts are always undone by returning the object, so basically there is no crime, but in the "battle of intellects" Conan always loses. I think it would be better if sometimes he won, sometimes lost. Maybe he could arrest Kid, but then he manages to escape from prison (even though no judge would have given him prison time anyway, since it's just a prank: taking an object for a couple of minutes and then putting it back ).

I think it would be better if sometimes he won, sometimes lost. Not necessarily. Conan does "win" sometimes. Even if it's not directly shown, Kid knows when Conan has him in a corner. Most of the time, he only escapes because Conan allows him to. Plus, it's nice seeing Conan lose once in a while since he always "wins" during every DC case. Maybe he could arrest Kid, but then he manages to escape from prison (even though no judge would have given him prison time anyway, since it's just a prank: taking an object for a couple of minutes and then putting it back ). Kid cases are getting a bit repetitive these days, so I wouldn't disagree on this notion. I did, however, enjoy the case with Makoto in it so I hope we can have more of those soon, haha.

Kirsch 95 Report post Posted January 1, 2015 Characters themselves don't really get on my nerves much, compared to the plot pacing. The Detective Boys are occasionally extra annoying, as well as Shiratori. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Manfredie 226 Report post Posted January 3, 2015 i never had much a problem with any character until the show became a drag most of them became annoying but if i have to choose my tops detective boys, kid, new characters, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikoDC 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2015 Sonoko. She is so annoying. Nothing personal, it's just that I don't like her personality, always acting so stupid. And the detective boys are annoying, too (Genta and Ayumi). But well, I forgive them, their are just children, it wouldn't be fair to expect more of them. Also, Shiratori was very annoying when he was interfering in Sato and Takagi's relationship... And there are some moments when a character I like acts stupid... that REALLY gets me on my nerves, because they are normally not stupid and then I start loosing respect for them...

I'll still watch it though once it's subbed. I think the only thing it lacked was a budget. Thanks to that, they had to cut down on the action scenes and cast (though some would be happy to not have to sit through the impossible stunts).

machine 52 Report post Posted January 9, 2015 I'm still not too far in (pushing 40 ep's currently) but Mouri Kogoro annoys me at times. I don't like how he acts sometimes like how he's kind of a pervert and how he expects Ran to sorta act like a housewife and do all the cooking and stuff. I don't mind him the rest of the time--I even kinda like him sometimes but whenever he behaves like that my tolerance level for how he acts goes way down.

He's actually one of my favorite characters, haha. The show would be so much more boring without him. Kogoro is a comical character that can contrast greatly with the serious atmosphere of the show at points. I actually don't mind his pervertedness or how he treats Ran--it all adds to the humor. However, that doesn't make him entirely useless; he does have some redeeming qualities. Kogoro has morals and a pretty decent sense of what is going on around him, so he's usually there to help whenever a loved one is in danger. I take it you might be offended by his actions or character? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobgoblin2012 49 Report post Posted January 10, 2015 Kogoro has become annoying since they changed his voice. The first one was perfect, I still can't get used to the other one. The MWAHAHAHAHA doesn't sound right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
