AO Hell: The Discussion Thread

[kkslider5552000]

Speaking of which, I think the older AOs are pretty good. I just finished watching Facial Mask Murder Case, and I actually found it pretty creepy. Old Conan times the bodies were really creepy. Especially in the anime.

Much more graphic, eyes actually open etc.

correctly colored blood

I'm watching 688 right now, and I noticed that Takagi somehow got girly eyes when he was explaining the case to the kids (before he turned his head during his recap), and when he answered the phone as Kogoro comes in the scene.

It could be that I'm just imagining things too much.

And we continue.

You like the Sumida River one? I despise it with a passion haha.

I wish the AOs in the AO streak would've been better. Now people won't have the feeling to stomach the usually-good Mystery Tour cases.

Not a bad episode

And on we go...

The last one was funny!

Especially this:

693

You know I tend to get why Conan interferes most of the time in these cases, but I don't think it makes sense to notice some books that are JUST SITTING RIGHT THERE! Does he think without his help no one would notice that?

Sneezing Kogoro

the video thing is so stupid. Clever, but stupid.

edit:
694
Average comedy episode. Was honestly hoping for better. It's...fine but the 4th and 5th Magic Files were legitimately really funny and a lot of fun so I was hoping for that level of fun from this. The only reason this episode was even decent was probably because it was a silly case taken fairly seriously, which is amusing.

So, i watched 692-3. They were good (WAY better than the lost puppy or some other recent AOs). I liked the character interactions of Conan, Ran, Kogoro (voice actor changed??) and the detectives. The mystery was OK, acceptable. Showing Kogoro as lead investigator in the second episode was good. My fav AOs will be the early ones. Good times.

[Jecka]

Kogoro (voice actor changed??)

No, it's the same one since 553.

[Conan-chandesune]

Kogoro (voice actor changed??)

No, it's the same one since 553.

I guess it is because i have been rewatching DC from the start since Feb. Currently at 361.

it will never end

So did B'z make this song specifically to get Gosho to answer stuff already? I'd like to believe that's true.

Kogoro casually leaves the kids at the earliest possible chance. Perfect. But he's forced back. Not sure if that's a good thing. It's a good thing for the audience, bad for Kogoro.

I swear they've used this same semi-old male design for every 1/3 AO in the past couple of years. He's like boring Shadow Man or something.

Well he just hit a girl in the back of the head with his calculator. Can't say I've seen that one before.

OH so now he's trying (and failing) to look like Shadow Man, so I was right?! Ok?

Oh there you are Shadow Man!

While there's some subtle stuff that I can easily see being an accident, I'm pretty sure Conan not using Sleeping Kogoro much in manga cases anymore was an intentional choice after the Red Shirt case. It's a nice little touch and a minor thing that helps the series from being completely status quo. So obviously nearly every AO uses Sleeping Kogoro. Of course.

that case sure was

...

it sure was!

Also, is the eel thing just going to go on for some long as unfunny that it will end up funny someday? Is that the idea?

I have a question about the Unsolvable Frozen Trap case. I'd like someone to explain the trick, because I don't get it, like... at all. The victim was supposed to be killed by strangulation from applying pressure to a rope, but... that's it, the rest of Conan's explanation doesn't make any sense to me. First, he talks something about pushing the rope into the ice, so that it will sink into it, but in that building there was only one small hole on one side and nothing else, no signs of the rope being pushed down, into the ice. Secondly, there's this stuff about some kind of weight being a block of glass, but the police didn't find any blocks of glass, now did they? And how the heck is that glass block suppose to help with the murder plan? Finally, Conan's example on that block of ice was really out of place as the inside of that building wasn't ice everywhere, because it would be impossible to enter it.

Help, please?

Watch the episode again and try to figure it out.
It's the best way.
But I can tell you this, there was only a small hole because has frozen back...

I'd also suggest re-watching it. If you still didn't get it then read the spoiler.

Spoiler:

Conan tied a string with two PET bottles and puts the string on top of the block of ice. The string slowly goes down. When pressure is applied to ice, it melts. Ice melts when there is pressure applied, but it soon re-freezes. The culprit tried to do this when the chief was sleeping. The trick works outside the dome. With this, they’re able to kill him from anywhere around. Genta brought the small block of ice which is the weight that was used by the culprit. When Haraguchi tries to pull the cord out of the ice, it won’t budge because it freezes. The culprit uses the lighter to burn the string. That’s why there were scotch marks by the neck. The string in ice won’t burn so easily but actually it is not burning. The culprit actually used the magnesium ribbon and it burns intensely. When Agasa uses the lighter, the ribbon creates a will-o’-the-wisp which is what Mitsuhiko saw. This must have burned the bag. The magnesium compound is burned and it’s magnesium oxide. The same thing was observed in the dome. It clears up in less than five minutes and Mika is not the culprit. For the success of this trick, one must go to the position of the sleeping chief. Like if they sleep anywhere else besides in the bed. Then Conan only knows of one person to whom it can be, the man who designed the ice hotel.
