what is your best detective conan episode(s)?

[A.E.]

176-178 with no doubt

lmao that mario picture is hilarious Dilberto.

And, SILENCE FOOL, rose-colored googles, do you think of me as a dotard?!  I think the animation style in the older episodes gave it style, sure it might not have neat clean-cut faces and eyes, but that dark color palate and art style just gave DC that noir-hardboiled detective aura.

And bah, the music getting better? nonsense, both the soundtrack and openings/endings were at it's prime within the first 150 episodes.  Nothing beats Truth, and Nothing beats Step by Step, and Ran's theme (original version) is the quintessential track for introducing the suspects/characters.

Well, the 00s animation sucks anyways. I hate that computerized cheap junk which they call animation. Fortunately DC avoided it until 2002.

However, I think the second soundtrack which was used up until episode 400 or so, while not being as awesome as the first, had nice tracks as well : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1THZt7c4qtc&feature=related, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHyN7MX5xDc&feature=related, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjUC2_vL9FE&feature=related, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIH1MNo45xE&feature=related (2'35"). Basically, the first three "original" soundtracks from 1996 are the best, the 2002 and 2007 soundtracks are nice as well, and the new ones, which aren't out on CD yet, are lame.

So yeah, the new soundtrack sucks all the way, I agree. The recent tracks don't manage to make me sad, or almost cry, like tracks like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLNJHEJ-BpQ&feature=related or this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2LDKT8yX-k...

Simply put, there was much more heart in the older tracks

Well, I'm enjoying every episode I see. But I must say the Moonlight Sonata episodes were the best.

And of course, every episode with Kaito Kid!

- First episodes of Conan will always be in my heart.

- I love all the Haibara parts..

- The episodes involving Conan, Ai and BO's Piscot were very very exciting.

- The tension was so high in the early scenes/episodes that involving Jodie Sensei. Back then, it was like a psychological horror to me while I didn't know who she really is.
Black Organization's appearance haven't thrilled me since then and haven't got me that hooked up on after that.

- I loved how Ran's personality built up in the earlier cases, like when Kogoro, Conan and Ran went to the art museum for example. By the way she acts I had an image like she is open minded, interests in arts and her enviorement, opposite of his father. Yeah, I love that murder case too.

- I love all the Metropolitan Police Love Story parts. When you used to have a mystery, BAM! This gives you a romance thriller.

- I love the first 2 Courtroom Confromtation AO parts. The rival lawyer and the courtroom's storngly builded. I was surprised that it was an anime original.

These are the things i remember right now...
