For those of you who don't know, Detective Conan is a mystery based anime. It's about the famous high school Detective Kudo Shinichi, also known as the 'Sherlock of the Twentieth Century.' After solving a case in a theme park, Tropical Land, he and his childhood friend Ran are heading home. That is, until he sees a man in block suspiciously running off. He gives chase and leaves Ran behind. After witnessing a deal between a corrupt business giant and the man in black he was knock out and force to take an experimental drug. As a rare side effect of the drug, he shrunk to the size of a little kid.

With Professor Agasa's help he became Edogawa Conan, a 'Freeloader' that now lives with Ran and her hopeless Detective of a father. With a few gadgets made by the professor he is able to knock out Kogoro and use a voice changer to make it seem as if Kogoro is the one giving the deductions. For this, Kogoro gained the nickname 'Sleeping Kogoro'.

It's very big in Japan. Heard of it? Watched it? Read it? =D

I'm going to go ahead and shoot this over to the Manga and Anime forum. ;D

BUWAH! I'M SORRY! @[email protected]

All I saw was Media, and, well, it could have been the fact that I was being rushed too...

BAH! Please forgive my stupidity! xD

I read the manga =3, I have a huge collection of this one on my bookshelf along with my others. Though at one point I was unable to buy them and now kinda far behind :c I still love the story though :O and recently got my boyfriend into reading them :)

I used to watch the anime when it was on I'm sad it got taken off :(

Phht! http://onemanga.com/

Search for Detective Conan on theeere!

They use the REAL names too! Like Haibara, and Heiji, and Shinichi! xDDD

YES.

Both the English and Japanese versions. I actually like them both about the same. Some episodes are better in Japanese, but they changed some in English so that they would make more sense (I saw this happen mostly in season 1 and 2, not so much in 3, 4, and 5).

I've also read the manga.

It has been hard keeping up with it though, I mean it has over 500 episodes.

Phht. Once you catch up, it's easy to keep up. =D

DC Manga is now in the seven hundreds. They're hitting the end now! x3 *Squee!*

i have watched the anime... also i m thinking of reading it too... reading gives a different feel!!! its an awesome manga!! :D

I've only read the first manga vol. That's all the library seemed to have. So maybe the anime is a better option right now. Very Intriging. Aside from romance/comedy and fantasy. I think mysteries are one of my favorite anime/manga genres.

Oh woops I realized latter that it was Case Closed that I had read and not Detective Conan.

I don't really watch the anime, (I read the manga) though the anime seems okay. I've seen the anniversary live specials w/Oguri Shun and those are pretty good :D

I used to watch Conan with my older sister... I think she may have had a secret crush on him... lol anyway I really enjoyed the series :D Def on the "must-watch" list

I loved that show!
It was on Adult Swim for a while.

I sadly like the english names better. I started watching the japanese version and had to get used to the names all over again...

Meitantei Conan has gone on for way too long! If ti was in real time (and it almost is since they rotate through winter and summer), then Ran would have long since graduated high school. There is no plot line anymore! It's almost entirely filler episodes that have long since become redundant. Don't get me wrong, i loved it when it first came out, and for many seasons after, but this is ridiculous!

Blame the anime originals for some of that. It has gone on for a really long time, but there are still good cases. There's a Black Organization arc approaching sooner or later. Hopefully something big happens.

I have been reading the manga a lot lately and I really need to look at the anime more. I mostly look at the movies I can't wait for the 14th Movie to come out this April!

I haven't read that manga. but i'll like to though, it sounds interesting.
