Anime
Detective Conan made its French anime debut on Cartoon Network on January 4, 2004, where only the first season was dubbed. On January 3, 2005, the show stated to air to the general public on France 3's afternoon show, France Truc. The show quickly became a hit among young people as well as teenagers, scoring over 40% of the audience. Following the positive critical acclaim from the public, AB Studio went on to dub three more seasons to add variety to the original 30 episodes. The success of the series, however, was short lived, as concerned parents complained of the show's frequently depicted violence and gore. The show was pulled out of France 3 the following year.
Following the fans' demand to see Detective Conan back on TV, Cartoon Network announced that it would bring back the show in August 2006, along with at least fifty new episodes where Ai Haibara would finally be introduced in the French anime. After March 24, 2008 the channel Mangas show 30 episodes with the Japanese master. The episodes were not released in order, which is why many of the 214 episodes never aired. According to Ran's voice actress Marie-Line Landerwijn, only 196 episodes were dubbed until Episode 214.
J-One bought Conan in February 2015, and began broadcasting the episodes on TV in Japanese with French subtitles on the 6th of February, with episode 761.
In September 2018, French anime editor Blackbox announced the upcoming release of a Detective Conan box-set, complete with the twenty-two first movies and two TV Specials (The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History and Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small). Then, Blackbox gave up on the box set and announced each movie would get released individually, and justified that with a dub for the movies in the work. But in January 2019, it was actually revealed Blackbox never had any plans for a dub. Additionally, the movies' release got postponed a lot, until early 2020 where each movie finally got released, both on Blu-ray and DVD. In late November 2020, Blackbox came back on their decision and released two boxes, one with the eleven first movies and the first TV special, and one with movies 12 to 22 and the second TV special.
In February 2021, French anime movies distributor Eurozoom announced the upcoming release of Movie 24 in theaters when they'd reopen, making it the first movie of the franchise to get a theatrical release in France. It's also confirmed on the same day the movie is getting a french dub. The movie was first set on April 21, 2021, then was delayed to May 26, as the theaters were still closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. During the same month, Eurozoom confirmed the return of the original anime voice actors of Conan, Shinichi, and Ai, and revealed the voice actor of Shuichi. Several days later, a trailer with the french dub appears on Twitter, confirming the return of Ran's voice actress. In early May, the full cast is revealed, showing that every voice actor of the original anime series returns on this movie, except notably for Takagi's voice actor Mathieu Moreau, who moved to France, and Kogoro and Megure's voice actor Emmanuel Liénart (who had codirected the series' dub), as he passed away in 2015.
