What makes it different from others?
One of the worst movies I've ever seen
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
View MoreUnlike the fictional stories where everything is possible, or will be made possible to provide a plot twist without giving accurate reasons; Detective Conan is a relief. It is based on a realistic and practical universe with closeness to reality. Most of deductions for impossible crimes are not at all fictional and can be recreated. Aoyama-sensei has put a lot of thought on the tricks and deduction. To all the Sherlockian Deduction Freaks: this show is a must-watch!
View MorePeople say this series is not for kids but when first I watched I was just a kid unfortunately at that time they only have some episode dubbed in Hindi. But after years when I am almost 20 year old I watched it again obliviously liked it. Good thing about this series is that every episode is mostly not dependable on timeline(This is the reason I didn't start watching games of throne) except for Black Org plot. I also found it realistic and logical ( most of the time). Their trick also work in real life( I am not talking about murder one) for example in one episode they show a criminal freeze throttle of his bike with a coin so he can use his both hand to use a weapon that same trick I tried with my own Bike it really work well. I think it's also not encourage crime but same time discourage it. I know it's little weird that everywhere Moorie and Conan go a crime happen. But I can digest it. It's better then most of Drama going on in TV nowadays. It's not like other TV series in which they spent as much as 10 minutes in just some chit chat. Making this type of show require too much creativity and planning. It's a hats of to the writer because he show us more then 800 way of crime and how to detect them. Many serial show spent as much as a full hour and show nothing. On the other hand in Detective Conan in just 20 minutes they solve a whole crime. No time waste no rubbish. I read one reviewer said that Conan always predict crime and suspicions everything to him or her I only want to say one thing This is what a Detective supposed to do. In many episode Conan stopped a crime from happening just because of his prediction.And some person say that he walk around crime scene like he is invisible I know many times it too much but you have to ignore such small thing as soon as they are doing their main job(making crime mystery) right. I've seen too many show in which writer/director themselves forget their plot make things too unrealistic( I am not here talking about just anime).
View MoreHere in America this show is called Case Closed which has become my favorite anime/mystery show of all time.For a long time I haven't been an anime fan since I out-grew Pokemon. After I was over Pokemon I thought all other anime shows were just childish and silly, well now I'm happy to have been proved wrong.While some anime shows are just plain wrong for some of them being sexually inappropriate thats something you don't have to worry about with Case Closed. Sure it might have some curse words every now and then but thats one of the reasons I love this show (I don't like cursing but you'll see why I said that in a second). It's full of comedy and surprises without having the kiddie aw's and oh's of such simple little problems. And just adult enough to enjoy and stimulate your mind without worrying about there being some kind of sexual scene coming from around the corner (I know it shocked me to when I first heard of it). This is a purely fun show to watch.It's about a high-school kid named Jimmy Kudo who is a mystery solving prodigy. He lives alone while his parents are away because his mom is an actress while his dad is a famous book writer. He solves cases every now and then for the chief of police Inspector Maguire. One night when he was out with his best friend Rachael Moore there was a murder. Solving it easily he noticed that two of the suspects were in a hurry to get out of there. So then he followed them, then one of the agents knocked him out and gave him an experimental poison but, instead of killing him something really unexpected happens. He is turned back into a seven-year old little boy. By getting help from his next door neighbor Doctor Agasa (who is also a crazy scientist) he learns that to keep him and everyone else he cares about safe he must keep his identity secret even from his own friends and family or else if the agents find he's still alive then they'll come back to finish the job. So he goes to live with his friend Rachael under the name Conan Edogawa. It also turns out that her father is a detective but not a good one. So with the inventions that Doctor Agasa creates for him he helps Richard Moore (Rachael's dad) solve cases and becomes famous while he's back in elementary school. So now he's waiting for the organization to re-appear so he can get the poison they used on him and create an antidote and turn himself back to normal (thats why he's staying with Rachael and her dad in the first place, Richards a detective so he's hoping that somewhere along the line he'll run into them again).I know that some of this stuff sounds a little kiddie but it is a great balance between both. It is funny, full of mystery, while some episodes has action and adventure. A must-see series for any anime and/or mystery fan. And even the comedy makes it worth while for those of you that don't care much about both categories.
View MoreI had read about "Detective Conan" about a year prior to the show being released in the United States, and so when "Case Closed" began airing in May of 2004 I jumped at the opportunity to see this show. I was not disappointed.This show is a welcome relief from the Scooby-Doo inspired cartoons (not to mention Scooby-Doo itself) that presented a "mystery" that a tree slug could solve in two minutes. The stories are well thought out, the solutions are NOT obvious but can be put together by an observant (and thinking) viewer, just as Conan does, and best of all the series does not insult the intelligence of its viewers: the show is entertaining without padding 3/4 or the episode with slapstick routines and mindless running from a person in a Halloween costume.The show's premise is that little six-year-old Conan Edogawa is actually a 16-year-old detective prodigy. He was reduced to a grade school child when a mysterious would-be assassin gave him an experimental poison that (unknown to the poisoner) regressed the detective rather than killing him. In a bit of angst reminiscent of the early adventures of "Spider-Man", Conan makes a hard discovery: You can have the most brilliant detective mind in the world, but if you're six years old, all the police are going to tell you is, "BEAT IT, KID!" In spite of this hardship, little Conan finds ways of bringing the guilty parties to justice -- although all too often, someone else takes the credit for his deductions.HIGHLY recommended.
