Episode 845: Conan Cornered in the Darkness (Part One)

-WTF IS THIS OPENING?! WHAT IS GIN AND VODKA?!

-Sorry Gin, this is not Neuro. Much different detective series.

-The guitarist of Breakerz is an underappreciated human being btw

-"I'm not interested in modern games" ...this is somehow the strangest Haibara line I've ever heard

-Burying a child alive would be a new one

-Rare episode when I want them to go BACK to the Detective Boys instead of Kogoro

This was an interesting episode that has a boring case attached to it. Or at least, the part most closely resembling the Conan formula was boring. Conan being in a coffin without knowing where or why is in fact more interesting than if 1 of 3 nobodies stole from a safe. Shocking, I know.

Episode 846: Conan Cornered in the Darkness (Part Two)

-"oh yeah, a small child might be burned to death. That's important too!"

-A genuine moment where I'm entirely surprised at what has happened. Where is he?

-I can't believe Conan's hyping dead!

-That was the weirdest ending

-Second part of this case focused on being fun and interesting, so you can guess that I liked it more. Built to the climax fairly well, Conan had to use his cool shoes to survive, Ran had a reason to be in the story. All good things! Though lol @ trying to make anyone think Conan was dead. Cmon. Even 8 year olds watching it in Japan knew that wasn't happening.

NTV is fine with airing this in the DC timeslot (episode 8 remaster) :




Yet for some reason today they (NTV and TMS) have to have that black blood and those closed eyes, or else.

Episode 847: Chiba's UFO Case (Part One)

-*looks at title* ...oh no

-tbh, young Chiba is an asshole

-Who are these assholes now?!

-Conan, these two things don't go together. You just used a random word as an excuse. Conan, stop.

-Conan implies a Ridley Scott alien will attack and this girl says she'll beat em up. This episode is nearly redeemed!

-I did not expect a reference to that case

-Ok, I can believe a guy can turn into a kid through a poison. I can believe and evil black organization is trying to make a medicine for immortality. But in no way can I believe that only now has Chiba discovered that there are health risks to obesity. That is actually impossible for me to believe, unless he is the most sheltered, living under a rock, man in Japan.

-"You can see the shape of his butt" I'm giving no context to this line

-"But that alien could be a murderer" This one too

You know what the funny thing is? The actual case focused part of the episode, and this girl who thinks it was an alien, all of that nonsense? I actually like. I like when Conan, or most series, are just weird and amusingly dumb. The idea that it's an alien is so dumb, I like it. At least in this case. And it makes the trick so weird that I'm genuinely interested in what actually happened. But...there's like 3-4 minutes of this that I just hate. And it kinda hurts the whole thing. Because it's more Chiba's love story. Now to add to it, Chiba's fat alright! *sigh*

I refuse to believe someone could like this. It is impossible.

Maybe this is a test to see if they can bring it back?

But yeah...weird.

Episode 848: Chiba's UFO Case (Part Two)

-Please tell me this part will be less dumb. Less unfun dumb at least. I'm all for fun dumb.

-The lip flaps were way too close to Conan's narration

-"People are saying the police are hiding the existence of aliens" I would be so happy if this absurd idea was the focus of the episode

-OH GOD SKINNY CHIBA WHAT IS THIS

-We have found the scariest thing in this murder mystery series. Skinny Chiba.

-Did this case originally take place around Halloween? Just wondering...

-Chiba then arrested himself for attempted murder

-This motive is the dumbest thing

-Hi random Makoto reference

-Well obviously they were gonna make Chiba normal somehow...

-I'm actually stunned by how bad this ending is though. ROMANCE~11!1!!

The case was kind of fun in a hilariously stupid way. But my god. What even is this Chiba love story? It's so bad. I know, Gosho has both issues writing good romance and constant cases he has to write between this stuff, but even still, I'm baffled he wrote this. There's a difference between unfortunate implications and being hurt by status quo...and just being garbage. This is garbage.

I don't really get this censorship law tbh...there are some studios who can get away with it for some reason eg. A-1, Ufotable, Sliver Link, etc. (MK1412 didn't receive any type of censorship for the color of the blood either)

Episode 849: The Marriage Registration's Password (Part One)

-Spoilers: It's not marriage registration. I don't "know" that exactly but...it's stated by a character as a theory for a couple becoming completely canon, and it has lighthearted music while doing so. I think I can safely say it won't be that.

-"That's an abuse of police authority" No way it's the first time you or one of your friends has done that anyway

-Haibara messing with someone, once again

-This young shogi master is much happier than the one from that other anime I've been watching

-WAIT I WAS WRONG WHAT

-This is a weird Conan episode

-CONAN CANT SOLVE IT, ITS THE END OF THE WORLD

Huh. I mean, I tend to appreciate cases that don't have to revolve around murder, but the setting is kinda too generic and it's just a code. Very meh so far.

Of course she was kidding, because she'd have to cheat on Higo-san.
(Besides, if certain fan theories hold up Shukichi could very well be her cousin)

Episode 850: The Marriage Registration's Password (Part Two)

-This is the weirdest requirement for marriage ever

-I mean, if there's any story where status quo is god was the less stupid option...

-Well that's an interesting little tidbit at the end

This episode I did at least like more than the last one. It was paced well for what it was, and the end at least had some self-awareness about how stupid this all was. Also, some more interesting plot at the end. But not much else to say.

With the music and animation at the end, though, it doesn't seem like a "little tidbit," does it?

Episode 851: The Descent Into Hell Tour of Love (Beppu Chapter)

-So are all the police gonna be focused on? Is the next case Shiratori related?

-HIPPOS

-Everyone's favorite couple dating

-That is the weirdest way to react to a wedding

-Am I crazy or are they using the original versions of the bgm towards the end of this episode? Or did they actually record these version without the extra bits they added to the 2007 versions?

-"Wow, that's a lot of monkeys."

-SUDDENLY A DRONE. WHAT

-CONAN IS FLYING AWAY WHAT

This was a fine enough case. I like the idea of 2 cases inevitably going to be tied together like this, despite being investigated by different people. But that ending was...silly. Which I never hate but wow wtf?

I guess you mean Creeping Shadow and Theme of Evil. Those are indeed ’07 versions, but some of quite a few extra ones that were produced additionally back then.

According to a Japanese blog which is dedicated to the music, you heard:

• […]
  Creeping Shadow ’07 (Different Version A)
  Theme of Evil ’07 B (Different Version) + Theme of Evil ’07 B + Theme of Evil ’07 A
  […]

So the latter was actually a mixture of no less than three different arrangements. What I find most interesting, though, is that the other version of Theme of Evil ’07 B debuted as recently as in Episode 845 on January 7, meaning that they premiered a new variation ten years after its output and twenty-one years after its composition. Sure, why not …

Spoiler:

By the way, the next episode will again feature some of those versions.

Ever since a new sound director came in with Episode 790, they have been using the ’07 tracks much more frequently. So perhaps this wasn’t the last time for them to root out some of the venerable tunes.

[Haibara & Aika ryona]

To me, Detective Conan after episode 425, or until episode 450, then Detective Conan Anime died. nothing is right, no episode is excited, and nothing I like from movies after movie 10. I only liked the England 6 Episodes, and maybe some of Chiba's lover Episodes.

I also laugh when they happy about what had done by Bourbon. What the things that Bourbon did right. Correct me, but who will next target to him for no reason. Maybe Conan. He targeted Haibara for no reason, and glad that nothing happened, but no one said anything. Just ignored. He targeted Jodie's friend the teacher without reason, and glad that she did not die. Even, if he is the president of the Japan, he cannot put annyone in danger. Bourbon is most stupid character i never had. He only want to find Akai even if no one ask him, that because the skotch, or maybe for nothing, and if you ask me then I will do a "Death (execution)" to him if I am a president, or if I am in Akai, or conan place

I want Haibara to travel England
