Detective Conan 620 (Holmes's Revelation(Grass Court Queen))

[kkslider5552000]

AFAIK the first episode, which adapted all the english dialogue from the original, got one of the lowest rates in recent years... Gurasu Cooto Kuiin speaking nihongo could at least have improved this.

no, if anything the english should have increased ratings as more people started watching after the episode filled with english aired

First thing I noticed: OP scene change

[Puto]

I did start laughing whenever it voiced her thoughts and they were in Japanese, though I haven't successfully learned a second language, I imagine thoughts in my head would remain in English.  But like it was said, people might complain that they were wanting to watch Conan, not read it.=p

My native language is Portuguese, yet I often find myself thinking in English, so no, it's not that weird.

It still is in her case. You actually have occasion to use English on a daily, regular basis (especially in your online interactions). From what we know about Minerva, that isn't really the case. Beyond that, this is English to Japanese--quite a monumental leap compared to Portuguese and English.

What bothers me is... well, why is the culprit thinking in Japanese now?

This. I was thinking: even Hades

Since this is a japanese production, the mere fact that they actually hired some english speaking VAs, even though they don't speak the language as much as they could, should be enough for the foreign fans not to complain.

+1..

I definitely agree with you..

yes, they hired a british english instructor (see credits) to match spelling and such, but rates were highest when Hades began thinking in japanese.

The quality of the episode itself really doesn't have much to do with the ratings. What seems to determine Conan's weekly ratings isn't really what's on in Conan--it's what else is on, period.

I don't get what would be so hard in finding the guy, he'd be the only one holding a camera frontwards towards the stands instead of at an angel, AND NOT MOVING IT.

Good point!  That would be pretty easy to spot.

For me, this ep was just too far out there.  Tennis braille?  How does Conan know English braille anyway?!? 

Conan knows everything.  >:D

Except who the Boss is 

What if he does knows but doesn't tell?

Doubt he would do that

this would only be the case if both Hades and Minerva's mom (forget her name) were high up enough in the stands that the angle difference between her mom and her would be that noticeable, which I don't think it would be because they're relatively low-down and the distance to the field is fairly far.

And I would expect someone to be keeping their camera steady, why would someone filming a tennis game be following the ball with their camera/ movign their camera for some other reason? If they're trying to capture the game, they're gonna stay focused on the whole court.

That is a good answer. However, is it just me that feels the london cases are dragging a bit. I thought that 620 was gonna end the series.

[Wakarimashita]

10 chapters, 6 episodes, the ratio is actually bigger than the usual 3 chapters, 2 episodes. However, the case being a bit streched in the manga, it basically condemns the anime.

ENGLISH SUCKS ASS IN THIS

"thank you." "thank you."
