Anime Special (アニメ・スペシャル Anime Supesharu?) refers to episodes in the Detective Conan anime that undergo "special planning". This includes regular extended specials, remaster extended specials, mystery tours, and some other exceptions.

Extended Specials

This refers to any episode that was broadcast originally on YTV/NTV with a length greater than a half-hour/30 minutes[N 1], hence it fits in the criteria of "extended special" and undergoes the official "special planning". Extended specials were customary until April 4, 2009, when the Detective Conan broadcasting in Japan altered from Monday evening to Saturday evening[N 2]. Owing to the tentative elongation of the regular broadcasting schedule, which would occupy too much of the schedule of other TV programs, taking the rigorousness of regulating schedules between nearby programs in the new broadcasting schedule, the frequency of airing special extended episodes was reduced substantially.

Regular

When extended specials are broadcast, an icon with the bold text "スペシャル" (namely "Special") is often displayed below the Detective Conan anime logo. That way, they are differentiated from the regular half-hour episodes, not only in length.

According to the demand from the copyright holder, when the anime is being introduced to countries outside Japan, regular extended episodes would be split into several individual episodes, having an approximate length of 30 minutes, just like a typical episode: a regular extended episode would always contain a length that is a factor X of 30 mins; when splitting, it corresponds to X separate episodes. These individual episodes would then add up to the series' sum of episodes. Thus, international numbering is invariably ahead of local Japanese numbering.

Remaster

This is a type of extended special which entail content previously aired, having most of them processed with remastering technique. In addition, some of the episodes which were initially broadcast individually may be re-edited into one or two hour specials. Amongst these cases, A Cursed Mask Coldly Laughs was re-aired twice.

Mystery Tours

This refers to anime-original episodes that underwent "Mystery Tour" (ミステリー ツアー), a tourism event in Japan that contains mystery elements conceived by the organizer, thereby bringing the sensation of commitment within a deduction. This event has always been organised by Template:Brackets; started in 2001, and runs almost annually. At the same time, corresponding episodes in the Detective Conan anime are broadcast to publicise the event every year.

Notes

  1. ^ Referring to the rough duration a TV programme may require; in-between advertisements are taken into account of this notion. The actual broadcasting time length of the programme is only 70%-85%.
  2. ^ This change was to accommodate the broadcast of Nippon TV's new programme "Sublime" (サプライズ). The first Detective Conan episode broadcast on a Saturday was the re-air of remastered Roller Coaster Murder Case.
