message: I get how popular the anime was, but understand it’s targeted audiences are still mainly teenage boys as the target demographic of a Shonen manga, anime or magazine are teen boys 12-18. 
But the reception article keeps making it think that the government is trying to aim the anime to kids. Which is NOT the franchise main target audiences. Especially with how dark and violent the series can be. Shonen manga and anime mainly target teenage boys and still do. Every chief-editor of the magazines have said that despite how popular their magazines are with audiences younger and older than it’s target demographic (male or female), the works within the magazines and manga themselves STILL only target teenage boys.

replies: text: , the article infobox already has demographic=Shonen and lists that it is printed in Shonen-titled magazines and imprints. Was there something that needed to be edited in the reception section?  AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 14:33, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Hi there. I'm not here to request anything anymore. I just want if someone could please take the time to post below me all of the reasons as to why there won't be first volume cover as profile picture and an overall plot covering the entire story, so that the explanations are more in handy on the main talk page. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.195.107.16  (talk • contribs) 14:06, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The volume image is from With a Bang (Case Closed) and is used to reduce the amount of Non-Free Content images on Wikipedia. Why would we want to add more NFC images that don't add much value to the site? The plot is pretty much up to date. Nothing significant has happened in forever and the author takes weeks off after every 3 or 4 chapters now. D.Zero (Talk · Contribs) 15:24, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

message: I know the point of using English vs. the original names has been brought up many, many times so I don't want to seem like I'm beating a dead horse, but I do think it's at least worth noting that TMS's most recent international releases of Detective Conan media, ie. the dubs of Movie 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 along with Episode ONE, have all used the original Japanese character names as opposed to Funimation's old localised ones. I feel as though this is at least worth considering in the ongoing debate between using Japanese names vs. Funimation's ones.
Of course, Viz Media's manga translation does still use the localised names, so it's not like this is a 100% clear cut issue, however TMS themselves are directly involved in producing the movie dubs, so it seems pretty clear that the official preference is in favour of using the original names.

replies: text: Since the manga is the primary work we should go with the names it uses.--65.93.194.2 (talk) 05:47, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Note there are actually two English versions of the manga. VIZ Media (US/Canada/UK/Ireland) uses new English names for main characters while Shogakukan Asia (Singapore/Malaysia/Philippines/Brunei) uses the original Japanese names. WhisperToMe (talk) 08:23, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I would like to also say that why should it always have to comply with Viz? The manga has fans all around the world and Wikipedia itself is an international platform so it should be feasible to use the Shogakukan Asia Manga as a reference since I feel this particular series is more famous in Asia anyway so it should comply with that instead. This is just in my opinion feel free to counteract any of the info above, thank you. VP Gerudo (talk) 15:25, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

text: Per MOS:ANIME (or MOS:MANGA, same page), "If there are multiple English releases, such as both a manga and anime, use the one that is best known and that has contributed most to the work's becoming known in the English-speaking world (usually the primary work)"   The Viz Media manga version has contributed most to the English-speaking world. Shogakukan started in 2014, long after the series has become well-known in English as Case Closed, and characters Jimmy Kudo, etc.  This isn't a case where there were multiple English versions of fairly equal footing as with the Dragon Ball dubs.

replies: text: Yes but I feel most people have switched over from Viz as they feel the name changes are useless and the original being more famous since the beginning is also the one most people now know in the English-speaking world, still if you have more to say feel free to continue this conversation. VP Gerudo (talk) 18:41, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  One way to move forward is to find an analysis of how many published reliable sources in English (only in English) use the original names and how many use the dub names. Such can be evidence of needing to move to the Singapore manga names (which are the Japanese names). WhisperToMe (talk) 05:10, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes that is a good idea, will do that as soon as possible. Thanks for the suggestion. VP Gerudo (talk) 11:04, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Hello, I believe this section is not relevant nor all that informative and should be removed. 
The first paragraph contains non-relevant historical commentary and subjective comments sourced from an undergraduate thesis. The second paragraph does not accurately represent the source it uses. "Using chopsticks" can not be considered cultural commentary. The third paragraph makes claims on music that are not supported by the pages it links to. I can not find a way to access the source but if relevant, I propose citing to it on the linked pages as well. The final paragraph comments on the setting by directly referencing episodes of the show. If included, this same paragraph would have to be included for most anime shows. The final line might be better suited to the 'Plot' section. Rspln (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I reread the section, and yes, there are definitely various issues with it, mainly on its focus and the use of the sources. I wouldn't mind to have it removed altogether from the article. Xexerss (talk) 05:51, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
