My English isnt pretty good but it doesnt matter now what matters is that I can convey the feeling... right? Ive nothing to do right now so Im gonna write this review https://i.ur.com/IUZWzrm.jpeg I met Detective Conan aka Case Closed aka aka Meitantei Conan in 2016 Coincidentally I went back to talk to a friend and he insisted that I watch Conan so after much insistence I saw the first episode and ok it was good however I really didnt expect what the series would become afterwards. And today 2020 Ive rewatched Case Closed 3 times. Once a year I rewatch. And no Im not crazy. Im normal. Dont be alarmed by the size of the series as soon as you get used to it and if you skip the fillers there will be 350 fewer episodes for you to watch. Detective Conan has the best worldbuilding Ive seen. However you may find the series tiring as it is slow It was not my case. The anime starts to work from episode 128 with the first plot twist but the first 200 episodes are practically a cast presentation. The introduction of characters. From episodes 300 the series begins to reach its peak lasting until around episodes 800. The story is perfectly connected even using developed questions in episode 200 for example there in episode 700. The way the author fits his work is sensational. Conans universe is rich in a small box. The story revolves around only one city of course youll get to know other places throughout the series like Osaka but the focus is Beika and that city is so developed that you will know it like the back of your hand. Conan keeps evolving and never stops its crazy how Conan gets better better and better with each episode and with each arc. And on top of that its a series that involves almost every kind of genre: Comedy Romance Drama Psychological Adventure Action Mystery everything The author creates solves and connects everything. And youve no idea how beautiful he can connect. https://s4.anilist.co/file/anilistcdn/media/anime/cover/large/nx2351DSGhkPis9DU.jpg Look how many characters this anime uses and there are still more much more that were presented after. And theyre all great characters. A good portion of them are developed in certain arcs that the series has and many of them are also used frequently. There are all kinds of characters. Character development is something that wont be missing without a doubt. Case Closed even develops secondary characters. There are many secondary characters in Detective Conan who have a complete development without even needing it. Detective Conan is a slow series so youll need to be patient as much to see the development of the characters as well as the plot progression. Its something that wont end in a single episode it will be developed little by little. However there are some episodes that would be called climax episodes special episodes including some that close some of the series arcs or that are very important and impactful. I usually say that Conan is similar to Gintama. But... is that one is comedy and the other is more focused on mystery. Here we go Detective Conan has 3 universes: Magic Kaito Movies and Main Series Detective Conan TV. https://i.ur.com/gOXrlqz.jpeg Kaito Kid Kaito Kuroba is an ordinary teenage student whose father is often absent. When his father dies in mysterious circumstances he discovers his fathers secret identity: a famous international criminal known as International Criminal 1412: the Phantom Thief and that he was murdered by a mysterious organization for refusing to help them recover their Pandora Gem a mystical stone that fell during the passage of a comet often called Volley Comet whose consumption confers immortality. He promises to prevent the organization from gaining immortality assumes his fathers identity and begins his search for the treasure. The Kaito who uses magic has his own series Magic Kaito 1412. The one who doesnt use it is in Detective Conan. Magic Kaitos universe needs to be different because the Kaito in Magic Kaito 1412 uses magic but magic in Conan would be a plothole so it was necessary to separate the universes. In MK he uses magic but in Conan he needs to use tricks. Kaito was initially a crossover but the series turned him into a Detective Conan character. If you watch Conan youll someday understand why. And relax is the same character. The only difference is: one uses magic and the other doesnt. Movies In a way you can watch them without seeing the anime series as it is like a separate and noncanonical story but it uses the plot of the series even the current films already have a lot of spoilers. The films are becoming more and more canon the author is trying to connect certain moments of some films and fit them into the main series. https://i.ur.com/df5x87B.jpeg The films have their own stories and more focused on action like you know BAAM BOOM YEAHH Good animation here and there and much better produced. Theyre inferior to the main series but it doesnt mean that its bad theyre also great. While the series focus on mystery the movies on the other hand like to focus in action. Its a good dynamic in my opinion. From the date I do this review there are 23 movies and 24th will be released next month in cinema. 1 film per year. And https://anilist.co/anime/98604/DetectiveConanEpisodeOneTheGreatDetectiveTurnedSmall/ Detective Conan: Episode One. Do NOT start here. This is a remake of the first episode but narrated by several different places what or where everything was happening on the same day as the first episode of the series. There will be many character spoilers and revelations. Not to mention that it will totally break your immersion and much of your experience. Its a Special made to feel more nostalgic only watch it when you arrive at about the 800th episode. https://externalpreview.redd.it/LhWmTmXaUeA0GVL7UBld7VWgIvqrsNV91PcIpUzJ4.jpg?auto=webps=2246c3050fa7039207c2b8fd1b37e3674c0aaa8d There are people who prefer the old animation and others who prefer the current one. I like both. The old one has its own charm https://i.ur.com/V6D5VqO.jpeg I like both. https://i.ur.com/46PdozC.png The animation starts well gets worse but gets better. Episodes 1300 = Good 400600 = Average 700Current = Great OST/Soundtrack One of the best Ive seen as well. Over 6 hours of soundtrack 51 openings and I dont even know how many endings but theyre all recognizable Conans ost is unique. They use a lot of the same singers too. Mai Kuraki Bz and Breakerz are the main names for Detective Conan for music. The best known of Conans soundtrack comes from the Saxophone. The most iconic sound in the series. Main Theme https://www..com/watch?v=tiBJUPN1Fxc Mai Kuraki https://www..com/watch?v=ayUXFFyVVtQ Breakerz https://www..com/watch?v=GnxKL0wlIY Urgh Im done. You have a timeline where you can create endless theories and debate with your friends including solving cases and feeling the joy of everything you thought was being said and solved you feel like a real detective In conclusion thats it. In my opinion I really dont think there should be an anime that can beat this one for me An incredible universe where anything can happen and be connected. This work is great as much as worldbuilding as much as story and its very worthwhile. Thank you Detective Conan And watch it
