Detective Conan is in my eyes one of the best anime ever. Story 10/10 The story is magical. Its fantasy its realistic its scifi its simply everything I could wish for. The main plot keeps twisting and turning giving it a sense of freshness as it never gets stale or boring. The amount of foreshadowing in this anime/manga is admirable like plot points from 400 episodes ago connecting to present plot points or hints from 500 chapters ago finally paying off there are many aha moments that viewers with a keen eye always get rewarded with. I would even go so for as to say that Gosho Aoyama is a MASTER when it comes to these things. I dont want to go into spoiler territory. The individuality of each case the different motives that lead people to murder and assault the mix of humor and seriousness all of this is perfectly packaged. Characters 10/10 The characters come in many facets. Characters who are selfless characters who are smart dumb cunning happygolucky depressed they come in all varieties. The amount of character development some characters get is astounding in my eyes. I cant really say a lot here as Im afraid I might go into spoiler territory again. Visuals 8/10 Detective Conan has a charming recognizable artstyle. It progressively gets better and better as technology advances which you will notice while watching the episodes. The animations themselves have recently begun to be a little... bad because the studio seems to be wanting to save some cash however I dont think its bad enough to lower the score immensely. Music 10/10 The music is just about what youd expect from this type of anime. It has a lot of jazz elements and really helps with the immersion. I still have some themes from 2004 stuck in my head that is how beautiful it is. Be it suspenseful themes music while Shinichi Kudo is deducing or sad music while the murder admits their doings.. there is always something great playing in the background. Voice acting 9.5/10 The characters have recognizable voices which suit them. The children sound like children teenagers sound like teenagers and grownups and elderly also sound just like youd imagine them to sound. The acting itself never had any problems in my eyes.
