Crunchyroll Release
On August 14, 2021, Crunchyroll uploaded the new remastered version of the first 123 episodes. (This also replaced the international version of episode 1-42 available prior) This release contains a brighter color tone compared to the Netflix version.
Instead of releasing the episodes in 4:3, the episodes were presented in 16:9 instead; with black background added on both side of the screen. In addition, all aspects of the original episode were retained (e.g. after-opening, commercial break, and post-credit sponsorship card, next episode preview, Next Conan's Hint and Joke Card).
Difference From Previous Releases
The new remastered version feature quite a few differences compared to the original TV airing and DVD releases. Seemingly as a result of TMS rescaning the original film negative prior to any alteration baked in. This included but not limited to:
- The opening/ending credits for traditionally animated episodes were inserted digitally from scratch. This also included the "Special" text on the main logo for hour-long episodes.
- However, this is not the case for digitally animated episodes. As the opening/ending credits were upscaled with the credit texts baked in. This is also the case for digitally animated opening on a traditionally animated episode.
- Certain digital effects were recreated. For example, the entirety of Girigirl Chop opening animation. While others were not recreated. Such as subtitles when a character speaks in English, or a black bar on the top and bottom of the screen to give the feeling of a more "cinematic" viewing.
- Certain scene might have been altered digitally due to various reasons, such as the scene of Conan's picture with the word "Cool Gay" was altered to correctly spelled "Cool Guy"
Trivia
- The remastered release is the first instance of Feel Your Heart and Meikyū no Lovers presented in an episode outside Japan.
