Your main reason for watching Detective Conan. [Those who pi

[soratothamax]

I'm going to be honest lol  ;D

I initially got into DC because of the cases, but the cases have become so repetitive, that I've been able to predict the outcome. I'm not into the canon romance, obviously, as it reminds me of how I feel about the cases.

What has kept my interest in DC for a long time is the BO and everyone who is involved with it. It is actually the reason I like Haibara so much. It is another reason I'm into AixConan. Without those BO episodes, their relationship would seem boring (well not really, but not as bland as without those episodes). In fact, to me, BO episodes tend to be the most exciting, thrilling, and interesting episodes for me. It is never the same (except the outcome, which is fine for me because it means Conan isn't going to win this time  )

Also I love the villains. I'm a person who enjoy watching the villains plot and plan.  ;D

So BO is what I chose, not that I needed to explain. I didn't choose other.  ;D

Edit: I actually love the DB! They are so funny and amusingly entertaining!

ShinRan romance, of course!

Yoru:...Seriously?

...Dude, I was fourth grade, I didn't care about mysteries back then. I watched hoping for more ShinRan, but there wasn't much so I got bored and tried to solve the cases. Then I got hooked.

i was about 6 years old.... when DC came out over here. yeah...96'. i had just turned six when it played the week after my birthday on TV. we were at my cousin's house in Edo-port and planning a surprise party. been hooked ever since.

I think I was eight years old or so when it first aired in Germany- we didn't have television at home and my French was still lacking, so I'd watch TV at my grandma's instead. I was flicking through channels when I came across the first episode of DC (I didn't even know it was the first episode back then, or maybe it was the second). I saw Shinichi shrink, become Conan, go live with Ran, and just started watching in hopes of seeing how the story would turn out.

It's animes like YuGiOh, Dragonball, Pokemon, Digimon (Shaman King too, was on a different channel) and DC that got me hooked to mangas and animes, but of all the ones I used to watch as a kid, DC is the only one I'm still really sticking to. Well, I'd have never imagined it would be this long...

In the end, I mainly watch DC because it's one of my biggest childhood loves and a somewhat source of nostalgia, and because DC is pretty much what defined who I am

I was like 7 when i first saw a episode. I work up in the middle of the night the TV was on and I left it on cartoonnetwork(don't watch any more) and adult swim was on airing the episode when they meet rans mom, six years latter I remembered the episode and managed to hunt the anime down with the little I knew. I only new little kid, solves murder in restroom, the scene with Conan and ran at a table from the ending song. I searched "detective episode 1" saw detective Conan first on the list watched it so I found the amine really quickly.

The BO.

I picked the BO option.

The only reason I ever picked the shoe back up was because one day I thought "hey I wonder what ever happened in that show plotwise?"

turns out: Not much.

But what there was was still awesome.

so I mean now I watch the show for cases (because plot isn't happening much nowadays), but the "reason" would still be the BO.

[AICHAN]

BO without any hesitation...
i started to love DC  for the cases(thanks to my older brother ) then i liked it for the interactions between characters(especially conan and Ai... )
but since the cases seems repetitive for me,and the interactions between characters aren't as cool as before, the only thing i'm looking for is BO now(i love Gin<3)

That is the best reason to pick up a shoe ever. XD

I don't get how someone would like this series solely for the romance, because right when the show started, there was like no romance at all - it doesn't even get good till late 200ish for both fans!

Same here

[CoolKid3]

Voted for OTHER cause I basically love the totality of DC, although I have to admit that I love the episodic nature of DC the most... Though it appears recently that the cases are getting repetitive, the fact that I've watched some cases several years apart helped me disregard the repetitiveness...

But I should have voted for the cases (I just love the random cases),...

Though there were really points in my lifetime that I can't even bear to watch even 1 episode at all then currently I've been craving for more episodes... It has been a stretch of love and hate for DC...

Amen.

Seriously, though, that's pretty much the same reason I did too.

And I'd missed DCTP.

What? The story starts with the interrupted date where Shin'ichi was intending to finally confess his feelings to his long time friend. Then we had Ran tell Conan that she really liked Shin'ichi a lot. Then we were shown how Ran tries to put on a front of strength when she's really worried sick and losing sleep. That leads Shin'ichi to blow his "might be dead" cover to Ran (and their whole school). There are small fluff scenes like Ran feeling nostalgic while admiring Conan's soccer skills and her father calling her a child provoking her into admitting that she does have someone she likes.

Then we get the first time Ran sees through Conan (where she's embarrassed by her confession of her feelings for Shin'ichi to "Conan"). Then (in the manga) we have Ran taking the kids to the radio tower, seeing the couples there making her remember when she was there with Shin'ichi before (the anime kinda adapted that with their Tropical Land date in movie 4). Conan does what she remembers Shin'ichi doing, causing her to make that link again and demand to know what he was trying to confess in the Shikansen Bomb case. He convinces her that it's crazy to think that way, though ("I'm thinking too much/reading too much into things.").

Then we get the slasher parody that has Ran reject someone's advances because she already has someone she likes, but Conan hearing enough to get jealous anyway, and Ran "sleeping" with Conan distracting him from his thinking. Then we get Conan solving a case with Shin'ichi's voice, causing Ran to think he's back and to wait outside his house in the cold for him, leading to the first of Shin'ichi's practical gifts for Ran, the mittens.

Phew, I'm still on volume 5.... I'd say there's more going on with the romance than the Org., even without considering the early anime's changes. (The filler even added some Ran angst/Conan jealous moments, too.)

Neither the romance nor Org are often enough given B plot level treatment in the particular stories to recommend the series to people who like romance or spy thriller/noir stories, though. Which is why I vote the cases (and the mystery parody in general).
