Name: Detective Conan, Case Closed, Meitantei Conan 名探偵コナン

Status: On-going

Episode: 745
Release date (for eng sub): Random timings


Summary:
Kudo Shinichi is a 17-year-old high school prodigy who frequently helps the police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is attacked by two criminals, codenamed Gin and Vodka, from the syndicate known as the Black Organization. They force him to ingest an experimental poison, APTX 4869, and leave him to die. A rare side-effect of the poison, however, transforms Kudo's body into that of a child instead of killing him. 
Adopting the pseudonym Edogawa Conan, Kudo hides his identity to investigate the Black Organization. He pretends to be a child until he can find enough evidence to apprehend the syndicate, after which he can then safely find and administer a cure for his current condition. Conan enrolls at Teitan elementary school and forms the Junior Detective League with three other children in his class:Yoshida Ayumi,Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, and Kojima Genta.

To further cover up his activities, he moves in with his childhood friend Mori Ran, whose father, Kogoro, works as a private detective. Kudo continues to solve criminal cases as Conan, but usually poses as Mori Kogoro with the help of special gadgets invented by his neighbor and friend, Agasa Hiroshi.

Personal ratings: 3.5
This anime started out by having one case per episode. To be frank i didn't like that style because they always seemed to rushed. However, in the later few episodes, it got better. 


I think they should have more episodes on the black organization. It becomes really draggy because i really look forward to seeing about how he gets his body back. 

I really wish they could put more episodes on how Kudo, in his real body, solve cases. It's more interesting since he is allowed to do anything he wants in the crime scene. 
I think it's because it is going on for so long, some of the trick used are pretty much the same idea. It becomes more boring. 


Well there may be many flaws here and there, but I just cannot stop watching this series!




Art ratings: 3.5 to 2.5
Since it's been on going since 1996, the art really changes alot. 
Though, i prefer the last time art. The hair and the side view looks so much better then the recent one. In the recent one, the nose (form the side view) curve to much. It really bothers me since there are quite a number of side views. The hair also got weirder, like more pointy at the edges and stiff looking. The rest looks almost the same. Now the art ratings went down to 3.
