Case Closed

***Case Closed***, also known as ***Detective Conan*** (Japanese: ***名探偵コナン***) is a Japanese anime series by the animation studio Tokyo Movie Shinsha, adapted from the manga written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama. It is currently on its 28th season.

Shinichi Kudo is a 17-year-old high school detective whom people call the "Modern Sherlock Holmes." However, one night after a date with his childhood sweetheart Ran, Shinichi witnessed an illegal trade and was knocked unconscious and fed a drug that was supposed to kill him... but he woke up and found himself shrunken to a 7-year-old. In order to track down the men who did this to him, Shinichi reinvented his identity as Conan Edogawa and lived with Ran, whose father happened to be a hopeless detective, and with that came a series of murders and mysteries that he must solve.

Despite and because of its long run, many of its dubs have been canceled and gone lost.

## Conan's Capers

### Year(s)

2000?

In 2000, Fox Kids announced plans to air the anime. They announced 26 episodes were acquired in their fall lineup. Unfortunately, though the news spread all over the internet, the dub never aired, likely due to the high amount of violence featured in the series.

In December, a rumor began to circulate stating that a pitch pilot had been produced through TMS for Fox Kids, titled *Conan's Capers*. It was spliced together from the first three episodes, with all references to death and violence removed and the plot of the first episode summarized within five minutes. Due to TMS's rules at the time, names were changed to Americanized ones, for example Shinichi Kudo was renamed Peter Grey; his Conan counterpart was renamed Conan Isaac, and Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mori were renamed Rebecca Lacey and Slick Lacey respectively.

However, the veracity of the rumor was left up in the air, along with a later claim that the pitch pilot had aired at least once. Other statements in the original thread relating to the pilot indicated that the series was being held up from airing on Fox due to trouble with the network's Broadcast Standards and Practices department (and a Google Groups thread by a network rep also indicated it being "in limbo"). It is unknown how far the actual dub may have gotten before Fox passed on airing the series, and any full details on the history behind it have been difficult to acquire.
