Case Closed - General - Facepunch Forum

Case Closed, known as Meitantei Conan (名探偵コナン?, lit. Great Detective Conan, officially translated as Detective Conan) in Japan, is a Japanese detective manga series written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama. The series is serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday since February 2, 1994, and has been collected in 71 tankōbon volumes as of February 2010. Due to legal considerations with the name Detective Conan, the English language release was renamed Case Closed.[1] The story follows the adventures of Jimmy Kudo, a prodigious young detective who was inadvertently transformed into a child after being poisoned. [b]~Plot~[/b] Jimmy Kudo is a 17-year-old high school prodigy who frequently helps the police to solve cases.[1] During an investigation, he is attacked by two criminals, codenamed Gin and Vodka, from the syndicate called the Black Organization. They force him to ingest an experimental poison, APTX 4869, which is supposed to kill him, and leave him to die. A rare side-effect of the poison, however, transforms Kudo's body into that of a child instead of killing him.[2] Adopting the pseudonym Conan Edogawa, Kudo hides his identity to investigate the Black Organization.[3] He intends to pretend to be a child until he can find enough evidence to apprehend the syndicate, after which he can then safely find and administer a cure for his current condition. Edogawa enrolls at Teitan elementary school and forms the Junior Detective League with three other children in his class: Amy Yoshida, Mitch Tsuburaya, and George Kojima.[4] To further cover up his activities, he moves in with his childhood friend Rachel Moore, whose father, Richard, works as a private investigator.[3] Kudo continues to solve criminal cases as Conan, but usually poses as Richard Moore with the help of special gadgets invented by his neighbor and friend, Hiroshi Agasa. Shiho Miyano, a member of the Black Organization and creator of APTX 4869, tries to leave the syndicate after her sister's murder, but is held captive by them. She attempts to commit suicide by ingesting APTX 4869; however, like Kudo, she is transformed into a child. She manages to escape and enrolls in Conan's school under the pseudonym, Anita Hailey. She joins the Junior Detective League and assists Conan in his investigations on the Black Organization.[5] Conan's quest has led him to help the FBI to plant a CIA agent, Kir, inside the Black Organization as an undercover spy.[6] In 2007, Aoyama hinted he had the ending planned out but he has no intention of ending the series yet. I found this show just the other day and remembered that I used to get up at 4:30 every morning just to watch it when I was 6 or 7. I loved it and still do. Here's the first episode for a better look at it: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyfQE5elaAI&feature=related[/media] The intro song, I think, is awesome. The ending song not so much. Unfortunately they cancelled it on Adult Swim awhile back. Enjoy!

How many episodes does that show have now!?

621

It's a pretty interesting show, it's like Death Note......without the death.

Lol. Lots of the 621 episodes are two parters, so that number should technically be reduced.

For an animation style that seems oriented towards younger viewers, this series could be pretty violent - from the decapitation in the first episode alone to one of the killers stuffing body parts of his victim inside his clothing to pretend he was overweight and easily exhausted. Used to watch it when I could, but damn you Adult Swim.

[QUOTE=FreezingStorm;30232356]It's a pretty interesting show, it's like Death Note......without the death.[/QUOTE] It still has death. It's more like Death Note minus Death Note.

I've always wanted to watch this, along with Lupin the III, but it has far to many episodes to bother.

Jesus, this is still running? I know exactly what I'm doing for the next month or so

I remember I used to watch this as a kid, in fact I tried to watch every single one that showed on Adult Swim, in order, trying to force my mom to record ones I missed. The only episode I remember outright was one where the main guy character took a shower with the main chick as a kid (with his dirty adult mind) and got a forbidden erection because he wanted to fuck her. So did I. [editline]4th June 2011[/editline] Acting and jokes are pretty amazing considering it's age.

This is one of favorite shows.

FUCK! I was right in the middle of making a thread for this show, then I searched and found out this thread was made. I guess I might post what I was working on in this thread.

Been meaning to pick this up but it just never happens. In the meantime I'll just be enjoying the music: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEabvct6hYg[/media]

I remember after the episode with the museum and the knight being splattered all over the wall, my cousin never watched this show again.

I loved this show, too bad FUNimation stopped releasing more new seasons :(.

How many of all those episodes got dubbed? I remember watching it years back when Adult Swim had it on their lineup

[QUOTE=Frisk;30343568]How many of all those episodes got dubbed? I remember watching it years back when Adult Swim had it on their lineup[/QUOTE] Last time I checked they stopped at 133 or something. Thats out of the 700+ episodes right now.

130 Episodes have been Dubbed and 6 movies. I wouldn't mind not seeing all 600 episodes, but it'll suck not being able to see the ending... /le sigh

I fucking love Case Closed. There's a reason why my username has Conan in it. In fact, if anyone else has any interest to follow the series, check out DCTP. They've update with new episodes and manga files all the time. Plus they have all fourteen movies. Here's the link! [URL="http://www.dctp.ws"]www.dctp.ws[/URL]

Used to read the manga with my brother all the time. I'd always get mad, because he read slower then me and demanded to get to read first :saddowns:

I remember watching this on Cartoon Network in it's prime, got really into it up to about season 3.

It ws translated to arabic and I watched it as a kid along side Fist of the north star. Great fucking stuff.

I loved watching the dubbed episodes of Case Closed as a kid, I'm not surprised it's still running.

There are alot of fillers in this series... I wanted to take a break when they started to release fillers and now it looks like i have forgotten about it. Can't even remember where i stopped at.

I'm on Episode 450, got a lot more to go.
