Meitantei Conan

Plot synopsis:
Shinichi Kudo is a high school detective who sometimes works with the police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is attacked by members of a crime syndicate known as the Black Organization. They force him to ingest an experimental poison, but instead of killing him, the poison transforms him into a child. Adopting the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and keeping his true identity a secret, Kudo lives with his childhood friend Ran Mouri and her father Koguro, who is a private detective. Throughout the series, he tags along on Koguro's cases, but when he is able to solve one, he uses a tranquilizer needle to put Koguro to sleep, and impersonates his voice to reveal the solution to the case. He also enrolls in a local elementary school where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own Junior Detective club. While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with a variety of characters, including his professor friend Dr. Agasa, Ran's friend Serena, a fellow teenage detective Harley Hartwell, his parents, and many other characters.
Kudo later encounters an elementary school transfer student, Ai haibara, who reveals herself to be the creator of the poison that made him small. She too had ingested the poison, but she is no longer affiliated with the Black Organization. During a rare encounter with the Black Organization, Conan helps the FBI plant a CIA agent, Kir, inside the Black Organization as a spy.
In 2007, Aoyama hinted he had an ending planned out but does not intend to end the series yet.

Review:
I 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.
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..
However, this is just the alias of 17-year-old Jimmy Kudo, Japan's most famous young detective prodigy.
However, he retained his brilliant mind and vicariously solves some of the most perplexing mysteries imaginable.This is a very intelligent and well-written show and is recommended to anyone who loves a good murder mystery..
Shinichi Kudo(Jimmy Kudo) is highly famous for being the best teen detective of East Japan.
Conan hopes to make Kogoru famous so that way he can get some leads and info on the 2 men responsible for his condition.As the series progresses, Conan does what he can to become Shinichi Kudo again.
Once he does find the 2 men in black, Conan will try to obtain the pill that changed him and get Dr. Asawa to make an antidote to make him Shinichi again.For more than a decade this anime has been widely successful in Japan.
With almost 500 episodes, several movies, and a handful of OVAs. Detective Conan(Case Closed) should deserve to be a highly acclaim cartoon in any category for Anime.Problem is very few American Anime fans, don't know how great it is or don't know it's existence.
I guaranteed Detective Conan is unlike the other mystery anime out there..
Because even though it is not always a very credible or spectacular series, the detective series and the overall realism of the series make this Anime so comfy to watch, everybody just has to love it!!!
For instance, there is no character with blue or green hear and unlike other series, the characters to not yell all the time in an annoying, exaggerated manner.The big pro of the series are the usually very cool and clever plots, sometimes an episode gives you all the hints you need yourself to figure out who the culprit is.
Mostly though, an episode does not, or sometimes it's luck which leads Conan to solving a case.
Personally, I gave it a 10, but what I don't like is that throughout the 506 episodes, the real core story about Shinichi and the Black Gang is rarely progressed..
Broadcasting in he U.S. as Case Closed, Detective Conan is an interesting mystery/comedy/thriller that looks like a kiddie show but definitely ia much more to the series.
Plot: a teenage detective protoge is turned into a kid by a weird poison and must help solve cases for his girlfriend's bumbling father under a alias until he can find the people who did this to him and recover an antidote.
The premise, like I said, sounds kiddie but as the series rolls on things start to get messy and at times, a bit disturbing, but the cases are so ingenously planned out and executed you can't help but watch just to see how Jimmy/Conan will get the jobs done with such a small guise working against him.
The series revolves around a teenage detective whiz who is shrunken down to the size of a child by an experimental poison.
Helping him is a funny inventor who gives "Conan" (an alias the character uses as a child) cool James Bond like gadgets, like a bow tie with a voice distorter and shoes that magnify kicking strength.The mysteries Conan solves each episode are very brain teasing, but nothing impossible if you put your brain cells together and follow the clues.
Though many of the cases involve murder (and some pretty elaborate ones at that) each episode is presented in a way for people of all ages, much like how I used to watch Murder, She Wrote as a kid.
And as he tries to find a way to get back, he still continue to solve murders with the help of Edogawa, and his friend Ran and her lousy detective father.
And his gadgets are cool, he can alter his voice, mostly making it that detective Mouri guy, with whom he makes the hero of every story and episode, for shame!
As a mystery fan, Detective Conan is truly great.
It's funny, and suspenseful (well, at least the superb episodes are), and thought-provoking all at the same time, and it gives the viewer ample time to think through the case right along with Shinichi.At first, I couldn't understand why they put it on Adult Swim instead of Toonami, but after watching some of the episodes, I saw the reason...
even though it feels like a kids' show, a lot of the cases are murders, and they sometimes deal with heavy topics (like losing a child)If you enjoy mysteries (and even if you don't, this might get you into them :P ), I highly recommend watching this show.
Here 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.
This is a purely fun show to watch.It's about a high-school kid named Jimmy Kudo who is a mystery solving prodigy.
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.
A must-see series for any anime and/or mystery fan.
I love watching Case Closed every night so I can figure out some murders.
Case Closed is a story of a teenage detective boy who turned into a kid by some poison from two bad mysterious guys who were meant to kill him.
Detective Conan, or Case Closed as it is known in some countries, is a wonderful anime with dynamic characters and an interesting plot, with additional just as fun sub-plots.The story is about an intelligent high school detective who one day has the misfortune of being caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Assuming a false identity as Conan Edogawa, Shinichi is determined to find the ones responsible, destroy them and reclaim his normal body.Detective Conan is filled with enigmatic crimes for the viewer to solve before the main character can.
great anime show-Case Closed or Detective Conan.
The story follows the adventures of Jimmy Kudo, a prodigious young detective who was inadvertently transformed into a child after being poisoned.
I've been watching this series from the beginning and it is one of the best anime series ever.The directing and writing work is very good.The content is exceptional.The oddly initiated cartoony visuals combined with the dark murder theme goes in contrast with each other.Though the original storyline exaggerates a bit,the individual plots and cases are brilliant.
Its amazing to watch how Shinichi or Conan applys Sherlockian logic to solve cases.
Anyone who is looking for adventure,good storyline, mind boggling cases and a bit of love story should just go for it.
You know that Detective Conan is one of my favorite Series of all time the story is excellent and the plot is amazing this story is about a teen detective named Shinichi Kudo who drugged and incidentally becoming a kid.
I don't want to spoil anything you have to watch this anime this is the best crime solving anime of all time you can't predict what will happen and you will be surprise.This anime is a masterpiece Gyoso in his best he can make Detective Conan become something that phenomenal just talk about it make me chills with awesomeness.I very very in love with this anime.Detective Conan is standing tall like the likes of Sherlock Holmes we can say that Sherlock Holmes is Detective Conan and Detective Conan is Sherlock Holmes.I very recommended you guys to watch this anime and rate it.
Cased Closed is probably one of my top five favorite comic series right now.
I would say if anybody likes comic and mystery, then this series is right for them.I LOVE CONAN MORE THAN YOU!HEEE HEEE!Case Closed is the American version of the highly acclaimed "Detective Conan" from Japan.
They'll tell you how the teenage Shinichi Kudo (a genius detective) is given an experimental pill by some thugs and is transformed into a child again.
When he solves the crime, he knocks out an adult with a dart hidden in his watch, hides behind the sleeping adult, talks through his bow-tie to sound like the adult & tells everyone within earshot who the criminal is.Now, I love anime & I love this show.
He still acts like an adult & most of the time, he's just hanging out with his girlfriend (who doesn't know Conan is her boyfriend) & her father (who is a detective & a very bad one at that).
It's pointless.Luckily, most of the detective stories themselves are great enough to overlook the premise.
I do recommend this show to anime fans & people who like detective shows.
The series has a great plot, very good characters and even some of the episodes not related to the Black Organisation are great fun to watch.
Don't get me wrong i love the show and continued watching even after the English dub ended at episode 130.
Being a fan of the comic book series from way back before the anime version came out, I was really excited to see it on DVD.
<p>The story is as follows: 16 year-old high school student Shinichi Kudou is a world-class detective.
Ran's father is also a detective, and Shinichi hopes that by tagging along on his cases, he might eventually pick up clues to the bad guys' whereabouts.
The bad guys are also looking for him (since there were no reports of Shinichi's body being found, and they're not the kind to let a thing like that go), and anyone who knows anything at all about his real identity will be in serious danger.
<p>In the meantime, the detective father is a bumbling, girl-hungry idiot, and Conan soon gets into a routine of solving the father's cases for him without looking like he's doing it.
He reluctantly makes friends with his classmates and he and they also have their own share of adventures.<p>Because I've read the series, I was mostly curious to know how the voices would come out, how the producers would set up each plot, and if they would be able to transfer the suspense, drama, and comedy of book form to the TV screen.

Best Anime, One of the Greatest Shows To Watch, Never to make you boring.
One of the best selling manga and longest running anime of all time,Detective Conan, which is created by Aoyama Gosho talks about Kudo Shinichi, a 17 year old high school detective that already solved cases that the police can't resolve, One day while going to a theme park with her childhood friend, Ran Mori, he followed a man in black who is doing suspicious transactions and later was poisoned by his accomplice , Later he adopted a new name Conan Edogawa after turning into a 6 year-old kid and later lived with Ran whose father is a detective.The series already made 700 episodes, 19 movies (most of it becoming one of the highest grossing movies in Japan in their respective years), 12 OVA's, Magic Files , and Specials, at first glance you might think it would be tiring,bad or boring, Give it a try and episode by episode it will change your first viewThere are several types of episodes here1.
Conan being Shinichi (some gives an effect in future Black Organization Cases)6.
And of course, the Main Arc, Cases with the Black Organization involvedEpisode GlanceBefore Episode 129, Most of the characters will appear but little to few Black Organization Episodes, but these Episodes are MASTERPIECE and SHOULD BE WATCHED, after Episode 129, Characters shrouded in mysteries will appear which might be connected into the Black Organization, some of them still being shrouded in mysteries, Long Black Organization related arcs will appear, which will always excite youThis show is FANTASTIC and SOMETHING YOU SHALL WATCH, It's fantastic writing, Great arcs and mysteries, and of course the mystery that still baffles Conan, the mystery that shrouds the Black Organization is what makes it the Best Anime Ever"Perceiving the one and only truth with the appearance of a child but with an intellect of an adult his name is Detective Conan" And that describes Conan Edogawa, the pioneer character of this Great Anime - - Detective Conan.
Anime originals are just random cases and have absolutely nothing to do with the plot, don't get me wrong some are fantastic but after a while you'll get bored.
Especially ones were the Black organization appear (if u have any background knowledge about the show, Conan is high-school detective who is shrunk by a "black organisation") Cases are very realistic and can be very challenging to solve.
The show can be funny a lot of the time as well, but a few episodes especially the anime original ones can be a bit childish but i personally don't mind.
The story plot is so satisfying, depicts about school kids trying to solve cases..
All the episodes feature different cases, all impossible crimes and yet conan solves it.
Unlike 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.
People 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.
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.
On the other hand in Detective Conan in just 20 minutes they solve a whole crime.
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.
This T.V. series Called CaseClosed was made in Japan but this story is about a high school detective named Jimmy Kudo He goes to and amusement park with his childhood friend Rachel Moore they both secretly like each other.
Detective Conan is a long series based on a manga called, "Case Closed." The plot is about a teen that was shrunk again by a substance given to him by two mysterious crooks that caught him sneaking on the scene.
This series is one amazing ride and if you love crime mysteries like BBC's Sherlock Holmes or CSI MAIMI you'll find this a riveting watch as you try to solve the mysteries before the main character does.
I highly recommend this to any of my friends and those who love a crime mystery
