Frankly, the untrained anime viewing eye would not consider Ran to be a cute girl, or Shinichi to be a cutie. Some might be turned off initially by the character designs. Think of it like Encyclopedia Brown, but with murders or kidnappings.
#Detective conan episodes out of order 112 series#
It was something we could use to bond with each other, something we could all enjoy and agree on.ĭetective Conan's plot is the same for every episode, but the difference with it is, like the long-running hit prime-time series Law & Order, it stays fresh each go-'round. Something they all had in common: they've all watched Detective Conan. During these past few years of college, I've lived as the only white girl around a ton of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean international students. Its fanbase hasn't died out it's only grown larger, and internationally widespread. Here we've got a series that's been going since 1996, and still has a strong, solid following. But that quickly died after the Kyoto arc. oh, one series that did that for me other than this one, and that's Rurouni Kenshin.
Seldom does an anime series remain engaging after two seasons. I'm totally getting ahead of myself here. Just watching the theme song for this show makes my blood pump! The adrenaline rush from this show is unbelieveable! Detective Conan has the best theme songs of any anime series out there, and the animation to go with them (especially around season 10 or so) is breath-taking and downright AWESOME. It was actually because I bought one of the soundtracks with the theme song collections on it. Let me first tell you how I stumbled across this series. All three-freakin'-hundred-something of them. but honestly, I'm going to try to convince you with all of my being that this is one series that is worth watching every. My purpose in this review is not only to give you a good idea of what this series is essentially like. On the road to finding those mysterious men in black, Conan and his friends solve case after case, all while keeping his true identity a secret. He is taken under the care of Ran and her father, Kougoro, a burnt-out, divorced detective who is past his prime. However, rather than killing Shinichi, the poison reverts him back into an elementary-school boy!īent on finding the mysterious men in black again, and discover a cure to the poison, Shinichi takes on the name Edogawa Conan and lives a double life as "Shinichi's cousin," in order to keep his survival a secret from those that poisoned him. He is caught eavesdropping, and is poisoned by the two men and left to die. However, when Ran and Shinichi split up for just a short time, Shinichi witnesses a suspicious negotiation between two mysterious men in black. So she jumps at the chance to get Shinichi alone on a "date" to an amusement park where, much to her dismay, a murder occurs that Shinichi *naturally* solves. She can't help but feel a bit threatened by Shinichi's dangerous lifestyle.and by the popularity it brings. This obsession with crime-solving tends to grate on his pseudo-girlfriend Mouri Ran's nerves, though.
The son of a famous mystery novelist and lovely actress, Shinichi has made a name for himself as a brilliant detective, always helping the police solve baffling mysteries much like his idol Holmes. Kudou Shinichi is an extremely popular 11th-grader who dreams of being the world's next Sherlock Holmes. This may change depending on the extent of the edits on Case Closed.Įdogawa Conan is a name taken from the Japanese mystery writer Edogawa Ranpo (itself a pseudonym fashioned after Edgar Allan Poe) and British mystery writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Notes: Currently the longest running anime series on air in Japan, based on the best-selling manga by Aoyama Goshou.Įditor's Note: Normally we list primarily under the North American title, but we make an exception here, as this is more readily recognized under the title Detective Conan. That's why I love it so much.there's so much of it out there, it'd probably take you a month to watch it all anyway! Just do a Conan marathon!
