Anime

The series, entitled Great Detective Conan (명탐정), debuted on KBS 2TV , January 10th 2000. The show is popular, winning the Toonichoice awars 2 times.

KBS

The series, following the success in Japan, was dubbed and broadcasted through KBS 2TV starting January 10th, 2000 through November 6th.

Unlike other dubs, the KBS 2TV dubbing team also seperately recorded a new song instead of using the opening used in the Japanese versions. These versions also erased/blurred out pictures of knives and guns due to warnings from government. However, because of the continued protest from parents and low ratings due to its rival show of the time, Pokémon on SBS, the show ended in November the same year, in episode 78 (101 in Japanese version).

These episodes were later bought by the animation special cable TV station, Tooniverse, and reruns were often played.

Tooniverse

Starting in May 10th, 2004 the series was continued, and was advertised as Season 2. Several of the voices changed, although many did not. Since then, every May or April was greeted by a new season of the series, each ending about 2~4 months later, although each season consisted about 44 episodes.

The series has currently finished it's 9th Season (2011), ending in episode 484 (584 in Japanese version.) Several episodes were skipped, mostly due to extreme violence (only earlier in the serise), or the usage of Japanese tradition in the deduction.
