Detective Conan Premise: " Conan Edogawa
looks like an ordinary elementary school student,
but he is actually Shinichi Kudo, a high school student who's also a
detective.
Poisoned by a mysterious crime organization, Shinichi's body
consequently shrank
to the size of an elementary school student.
Now he must hide his identity by calling himself Conan Edogawa.
He lives with his childhood friend, Ran Mori. "

Wondering Thoughts... of old
I see the "Conan is going to end" RUMOURS are up and running, again.
~_~ (And seem to happen at least once every year *sigh*)
I guess because Conan hit the 500 File (chapter 500 in Shonen Sunday)
recently... Aoyama-sama will end it when he wants to end it.
Next month, 6 months, next year, 6 more years. Most people posting
these comments (various Conan forums) seem impatient / tired of
the series going on (and on). Tough. If bored, go away and come back
later or find some other series to watch. I'm in no hurry to see it
end. ^_^
Oh, no way the manga is ending when the 9th movie comes out in April.
The movies NEVER relate to the manga ... the movies are all
original
(not in the manga) stories.
~~~~~~~
As nice as it is that Conan is now licenced for North America by
Funimation, I'd rather
it had been the manga. There's Spanish, French, Chinese versions
(plus I don't know how many
other languages ) but no English. Come on VIZ (most likely since
owned by Shogakukan&Shueisha).
Geh, "Be careful of what you wish for, you may get it." VIZ did
licence the manga. I *WAS* excited, all ready to pre-order
Volume 1 on Amazon... THEN I heard VIZ was no longer using the
original Japanese names (character names, not just the TITLE
change) due to pressure by TMS (who has f* all to do with the manga,
it's only SHOGAKUKAN that should effect any changes!!!!!)
(TMS is the company that makes the anime and responsible for Funi
changing the character names (and although that may be, Funi
could
bloody well do a far, far, far better job of name choices... Yusaku
Kudo is now Booker Kudo?!! SOOOOO pathetic ~_~ And
then let's not mention the transmutations of a given episode (titles,
lines, scenes cut))) Yes, have never had a good opinion of a dub
and I doubt it's an opinion that will change ^^;
~~~~~~~
Conan (anime) been running 13 years now... yet no one's gotten any
older. The seasons keep changing
(get winter / summer ... themed episodes) but nobody aging. This time
warp phenomemon
would be the only thing DCN has in common with The Simpsons. ^^
~~~~~~~
Watching Conan and Escaflowne episodes on the same day doesn't mix.
Takayama Minami is seiyuu
for Conan and does Dilandu/Celena (& Chid) in Escaflowne. I
either expect Conan to break into
manical laughter or Dilandu exclaim "There is only one truth!" Bad
imagery. :)
~~~~~~~
Continuity hiccup: Anime follows the manga stories very
closely/faithfully (usually word for word),
however, there are times when the order of the stories goes awry
which can make for some interesting/
intriguing character/plot developments... .
Example: Ep274/275 story in the manga takes place immediately after
the NY arc, yet the NY arc
in the anime is 284-288. Ran still recovering from her high fever is
why she goes to see Dr. Araide
which leads into the story of the "haunted" apartment building
whereas in the anime, a reason to go see
Dr. Araide had to be made up.
Another big storyline jump is 219. The second (longer) Kid story took
place in manga 30 (the
shorter story at the start of 219 was a special Shonen Sunday only
story). Whereas the non anime
original episodes from 220 - 241 were in mangas 27-30 (except 228/229
which was from manga 31)
Many other examples can be found. I assume there's a reason(s) to
jumble the order up yet
in some cases, I don't see the logic.
We're sorry, Jimmy and Rachel cannot come out to play. If you're
after Case
Closed information, you
will not find it here.
The reasons are various.
