Newer episodes and films don't have genuine dark moments and plots, they are really childish in this aspect.
WATCH DETECTIVE CONAN MOVIE 14 ENG SUB SERIES
The overall tone of Detective Conan anime and films, in my opinion, was better when the series was starting back in the 2000s. For me this is a drawback: less time spent in deduction and investigation and more in stunts and car chases means cases in newer movies are not as complex or attractive to solve for the viewer as the older ones. This kind of film, on its own, is not actually that bad… until you realize this was supposed to be a Detective Conan film, not a one starring Tom Cruise and his stunts. It follows the modern blockbuster way of doing cinema: action, action and more action with just a few minutes between the sequences leaving some time to the audience to relax and prepare for the next action sequence to come along. Overall film pace is accelerated but well directed, with short emotional moments well mixed in-between the never-ending action sequences and some humour scenes to break the ice (Yumi or Ai nail it).
Also, I'm glad they cut on Shonen Tantei screen time a lot compared to other films, thanks to this fact the most important parts of the film feel more adult and serious compared to the beginning. The only one I felt missing was Heiji: almost all famous characters are there and part of the action is outside Tokyo, so I was expecting him for a small cameo that actually never arrived. There is a lot of good character fanservice, showing some of the best dialogue and interaction bits of the franchise in a long time (specially for Ai and Sera). Conan's relationship with Ran and Ai's partnership (and jealousy), Akai family collaborating together and the FBI people also working in a serious incident as a team, and even Kogoro worried about his family and the kids. In fact, it's their interaction to solve the problems what I like the most about this movie: it feels natural to see how they work and relate together. So the case is not really special, but the way the characters work together really is. It is not supposed (as of today) to deliver anything else than “fanservice”, so there is no character development affecting the main series.Ībout the case, it's not the best nor the worst in the franchise, just average: people seeking their own justice in relation to tragic events that happened a few years ago… using violence and in the context of the Olympics. Animation is top-notch and a lot of important characters are shown working together -this blockbuster is a must-watch for any Detective Conan fan, but it has some drawbacks for people new to the franchise or Detective Conan adult fans looking for a good mystery film.īefore saying anything about character or main story development, remember: this is a Detective Conan film, a side story to the main plot (the manga). Modern Conan movie): FBI, murders, kidnappings, Olympics, and thousands of people at risk. It revolves around a good case (for being a Overall, this is a solid movie compared to the last ones. Finally, a Detective Conan film is released almost worldwide the same day it opens in Japan! Public in my movie theater was about 50 people and 90% was over 16, being the other 10% children accompained by their parents. Glad to visit again my hometown's cinema (Girona, Catalonia) after corona outbreak and watch this film dubbed in Catalan, my mother tongue. This is my first review in MAL and English is not my first language, so I did the best I could!
