Again? Isn't this like 3 voices in one year or something?

I was just thinking when watching the latest movie "I am glad the voice actor is still around" too. :(

You forgot Koji Yada. He voiced Jii-chan in the Magic Kaito specials.

After all this series has its own years too...

RIP :(.

It will be interesting however to see what'll happen to the voices of other characters. They have to be replaced someday, otherwise characters like Ran will sound like middle-aged women someday. I wish DC wouldn't be an eternal series.

Conan is currently voiced by a 50 year old woman.

Most of the main cast VAs are in their 40s or early 50s at most. Only Kenichi Ogata, Agasa's seiyû, is getting quite old since he's 72.

Well, that sucks. That's what happens when you have a series going for 20 years.
My DC Fanfic: Awaking and Arising - Shiromi writes her version of the end of the series. With 100% more lesbians and immortal zombie boys. And existential crises. Lots of them.
Kogorou - A character study that seeks to answer the question: Why is Kogorou the way he is?
A Kindred Spirit - Sonoko and Makoto realize that they have more in common than previously realized.
