Big weekend if you're a Conan fan yeah right, like those exist hereThe Counterfeit Case of Ultra 30: https://nyaa.si/view/2166161Heiji confession case part 1: https://nyaa.si/view/2166372
>>291227882>The Counterfeit Case of Ultra 30What is this?
>>29122805230th anniversary TV special
>>291227882Thanks anon, I'm getting ready to watch. But only the Counterfeit case, I remember Heiji's confession from manga, and it's one of the most boring parts of it, probably because it was so long overdue, only to be an ending to a mediocre case.
>>291228151>TMS wasting resources and outsourced most of the anime this year to work on this mid special
Excuse me, what? Suzuki family are just amazingly rich, they should not hold so much power to have little kids watch what is forbidden to public.The special has a very slow start, hopefully they ditch the kids soon.
>>291228664>just amazingly richno they are a zaibatsu, former familial branch of the government
>>291228730Zaibatsu were officially dissolved post-WW2 and only really exist as financial groups and larger companies whose origin can be traced back to a zaibatsu of the old, so if Suzuki family are really a zaibatsu in 21st century, then that's another illogical thing for the sake of convenience.In modern fiction, term zaibatsu is usually used for a shady Japanese corporation, often with connection to yakuza, so maybe Conan should be investigating them.
>>291228852no zaibatsus were never really dissolved, the biggest are still in business as regular companies with powerful families attached to them.
>>291228918I actually said that - regular companies. In other words, they might have advantage in business deals, but they should not be so powerful to have little kids enter area where highly sensitive info of national importance can be seen. They met a guy who can't even tell his family where he is working, but they trust a bunch of 6-year olds not to spill the beans.
>>291228983oh well i meant to emphasize more that the companies exist and are normal but the attached families still hold the political power. a CEO or whatever might not be able to get into a secret government facility but a zaibatsu family member yes probably.
Rare moment of Ran trying to properly connect with her boyfriend, instead of just keeping quiet in the background, this should be savored.
Oh god this translation... Jugo is now Shigego.
Ai-chan in question should actually be Kan-chan, but there is an out-of-context joke in there somewhere...
I watched the Black Submarine movie, it was really good. Funny how these shitty action flicks instantly gain weight if you focus on core characters like Haibara.also, are the movies semi canon? we learn some things about Boss and Vermouth.
>>291229808The status of movies is kind of up in the air. They should be non-canon, but Gosho has been known to take characters and details from them, and some stuff, like Toichi being Yusaku's brother, is a bit too big to be irrelevant.
Antiflon doesn't exist, neither does Fe(CN)2 from their list (it's known hypothetically, but never synthesized), so I guess they are doing fake chemistry for safety and wow factor.At least it's not beikan cyanide.
>An antiphon (or antiphone) is a short chant or verse sung as a refrain during Christian liturgical services, often taking its text from the Psalms or Scripture.Must have been a literal demon in disguise for that to work.
>>291227882They can't even manage a 30th anniversary special. Shit sucked so much ass it was a 2 hour session trip to the toilet. Can you really even call this a celebration? The only thing it celebrated was boasting that the series suffers from cast bloat, with no goal in mind otherwise, not even doing anything with characters who appeared and said they were going to get serious. Amupiss appears just to show his bare chest and ass to the viewer. And Sakurai still sucks at writing the main characters. Just drop him in a dark hole to write fanfiction.It's time to end this for real, they can't even write a self-contained story without it just being shit fanservice and no other care in the world. Last time I heard from the manga, Gosho was selling out Shinichi's childhood to the Amuro police academy with cars driving sideways through allyways and Matsu and Hagi talking to Shinichi about his crush on Ran. And this was an actual Black Org plot device. Amuro knows Conan's real identity only because of this.Put it out to pasture. Unless an idiot dies, he won't be cured.
>>291230090I haven't watched sit yet, is there at least one out of Kazuha, Eri and Kid?
>>291230424It was mostly about having as many police characters appearing on screen as possible. Kazuha was in it but I don't think she did anything other than stand pretty under Sakura trees when Heiji showed up. Which was a good scene, but not 30th anniversary level inclusion. Well she wouldn't matter in this anyway because the next day they were starting the Heiji confession case that was also not worth 30 years. And then their next appearance over a year later is just Gosho pathetically padding like the sell out he is with a build up to them needing to tell Conan and Ran they were dating, who clearly knew already at the end of the confession case and Heiji and Kazuha knew they knew but "forgot" they both knew they knew, despite it ending on them walking straight towards Ran holding hands and Conan being the one to bring Kazuha there personally and standing there the whole time right beside Kazuha.
>>291230090I found it better than recent movies, but that's not a very high bar.The promo image is definitely a misleading advertising, I was riled up for some big, cool cooperation across Japan, but most of them were there just to be there. If you replaced them with randoms, the plot would still work the same. Not like it's much of a plot, you could probably squeeze it into half an hour episode if you cut out all the fanservice padding.
i wish i hadnt lost all my extremely thorough movie reviews with documentation, i dont really want to watch 40 years worth of movies all over again
>>291231041When watching it live, an hour in, I was already thinking it didn't even deserve to be an hour long let alone 2. And then after like an hour and 30 minutes or so they finally get to the dramatic action/emotional drama they teased in the trailer with Sonoko in a screaming crying fit just for it to last one minute and resolve the very next scene no problem whatsoever. And it was even worse because they chose to show everyone walking out fine after the explosion before showing Ran getting them out. Why pace it in the most underwhelming way possible if your serious moment only lasts two minutes to begin with? You took a lazy payoff and made it worse.This was such a bad special that it's even scared off loyal quiet Japanese viewers from next year's anniversary movie. Though they're bound to go see it anyway even if the writing is 10x worse than this, because they've seen all the other recent movies anyway. It's depressing to think about all the wrong people being in charge of a movie as character important as one for Shinichi and Ran.
>>291231792just watch 2/day and you will finish pretty quick.
>>291232220i remember most of them really well too just not the notes i kept. already way behind on the series.
>>291228664aren't they 2nd most powerful group in Japan?
>>291234284I don't think family power levels were really explained and things might have been retconned in meantime. Karasuma group is the most powerful, while Suzuki seem to be around the same level as Ooka family. At least in riches, considering Ooka have family members as high-ranked politicians, while Suzuki seem to be just in business or are adventurers like Jirokichi.
>>291235594>considering Ooka have family members as high-ranked politiciansThat would definitely give them a leg up.
>>291231792Why not? The Conan movies are mostly good.
>>291231792Where did you document them?
>>291240748got so much shit backlogged and i'd want to do it in a proper marathon like before>>291242719it was just a folder full of text files and idk what i did but i guess i overwrote them. only have black iron submarine and that doesnt even look like my writing so i am pretty lost.
>>291244374sexo
Don't die yet I haven't watched the episode yet
>>291247699Have you watched it yet?What's your opinion on the future of this series?
>>291248799No actually I think it might be another day or two before I get around to watching it, so you have my permission to die at your leisureI am up to date on the manga but I don't often think about the future of the series, I just enjoy the ride (unless it's another "Camel fucks EVERYTHING up, AGAIN" chapter)
>>291227882everyone sounds so old, even the new Ran. Still, seems like Ikeda retiring was fake news after all
>>291227882ok, Ultra 30 killer's motive has to be the most stupid in the franchise, right?
>>291250709They sound their age, most of them were born in 50s and 60s. The youngest I could find is Yui's VA, and even she is 40. They better hurry up with the story before even more VAs start dropping dead.
>>291251528No, I think killing someone cause they insulted your favorite character in a fanfiction still holds the record. Ultra 30 killer is retarded, but his feelings of failing his son make his actions more understandable. Not justifiable, though, he could have just used his skills to make his own art, and not have to worry of things going this much wrong.
>>291251753>they insulted your favorite character in a fanfiction still holds the recordI think something like that can and happened IRL, can't say the same for UK30
>>291251826Well, it's possible, but you also have to take into account how many people write fanfiction, and how many are doing the super secret job of engraving the model for new banknote.
>>291250374
>>291253003>doesn't wake up while getting stuffed into his mom's bra until they are halfway to the destinationShe slipped him something in his drink, didn't she?
>>291240748I don't know
>>291253418I bet she secretly wishes he doesn't grow back up to feel eternally young.

>>291244374The cards featuring the important moments I see..
>>291229808The music is also dramatic here, instead of smooth jazz pieces. That does a lot.
>>291258243Well they don't have the same music guy anymore that they had from 1-24 so all the new stuff sounds what you'd expect from cinema movies. it lacks the conan style now but accentuates the action like any other normal movie would with its ost so if what you want in conan is explosions and kung fu and swordery fighting on the wing of a plane then the music is that
>>291258016This is hot, but seems out of character for Shiho to put her arm on Vermouth's shoulder.
>>291258016Nice.
I really liked the reasoning sequence, no more sudden "I got it", we saw Conan thinking while presenting all the clues to the viewers.It was also nice there wasn't any big action sequence like in the movies
>>291261321their dresses are out of character too, it looks like just some dumb promotional art.
>>291265198It was some retarded thing for M26. They do weird shit like that a lot these days that makes you think "are these the same characters?"
>>291227882They should appeal to rural castles instead of another Policewide case.
bump
>watch episode 1214>Norio WakamotoI've missed this nigga so much
>>291261321Forget that, her head looks out of place on that body. Whoever drew that didn’t give a shit lol
>>291272705Otaki is a much better sidekick than Kazuha will ever be, but you can't have a young hero without his girl.
If you guys can keep this thread open another day, there's a new chapter this week.
>>291227882The only subtitled version on Nyaa or any other torrent site is terrible, with not a single presentation card or on-screen text translated. I imagine this is the Netflix release, because they are hacks and their shitty subtitle engine doesn't allow for multiple subtitles. So, not a single translation group is going to pick it up? Three days have already passed and it still is the only subtitled version available.
>>291231792It's only 30 years worth of movies :DI've been watching them every couple of weekends for a year and I'm still not done
>>291275589I can excuse no translation of on-screen text, as the meaning can be presumed, and the suicide note is explained later, but the translation is so full of misheard names and bad grammar that I think they just ran it through ai without checking later.
>>291275589>I imagine this is the Netflix releasThe only subs on Netflix are Japanese. This special is not even available outside Netflix Japan. This is fansubs. Rushed fansubs. The uploader is working on an reupload with proper subs.
>>291274995>it's the ran is stuck in elevator chapterI hope the resolution is good.
>>291275930Judging by previous cases, I wouldn't hold too much hope.
At this point is there even a shred of a chance that M30 is actually about Shinichi and Ran as the mains and they don't drag in a bunch of retarded bullshit like they've been doing since... idk, m20? The second they announce Kid or Hakuba or Akai senpai or Amuro I'm out. They already disappointed with the TV special but people are coping that was their attempt at doing an all-star story for the anniversary because the movie will be allowed Shin and Ran to be the stars.
>>291276392Their track record in anything DC has been pretty bad in past few years. Whether it's Gosho or anime/movies staff, they can do good setup, only for things to fall apart in second part. And I've noticed characters becoming uncharacteristically dumber just to push plot more quickly.You can bet your ass Amuro will be in it, and I fully expect most of Ran's screentime will be dedicated to her crying. Oh, and Conan will do amazing stunts beyond human capabilities.A Kid movie would actually be a good thing, Kid is funny enough that he makes bad plot less noticeable.
>>291276392>Akai family plot because London>Hakuba and Kaito bullshit because London>more tired Kaito-Shinichi>Haibara doesn't stay home this time because Sakuraiprobably all of the DB come along to waste time and Ran has to babysit them while Conan/Shinichi and Doc and Haibara try to handle things until Ran is allowed to show up for the end 20 minutes to help and Haibara comments on it the entire time whenever conan/shinichi is near her>>291276496At this point Kid needs to stop being relied on by the writerss for when Shinichi is relevant. He just had his fujo movie with Heiji and the cousins shit and big dad reveal a few years ago give him a rest.Also Big Ben will be in danger of a bombing and Conan will skate down the side of it while relying on scientist Ai to do scientist thing as his partner
>>291276556There will also be Sherlock Holmes references on every corner (again) because London.I'd unironically be more happy if it were Paris, and some big plot with Toichi coming back, as sequel to Yusaku's big news (that family is seriously weird). As overused Kid is, the sad truth is that they are creatively bankrupt with everyone else, especially since manga is dragging its feet, so there is nothing new as far as BO is concerned. Yearly movies were a mistake, they should have spread it out more.
>>291276644Idk if you're saying the same thing but I'd rather them not even attempt a celebration movie with Shinichi and Ran because you know it'll be insultingly bad and incompetent. If Sakurai's involved, he recently just showed his inability to understand the main characters by talking about the 2h special with "even when Ran's around, Shinichi's deductions are never affected!" like yeah a guy who only cares about Ai would say that. Even if Gosho wrote the whole movie himself, he puts out some rancid bullshit in his own manga so you can't rely on him for something that even makes sense or is good character writing anymore.Just drop the pretense and make another movie about dumb shit that doesn't ruin anything high level. Even jap fans are scared the movie is going to be a kick to the nuts because they're waking up that this franchise is rotting from the inside out. Nothing's off the table in a franchise that can switch gears on a dime and end a movie on that academy retcon fiasco that ended up becoming a major plot point in the manga.
>>291276898Judging from my understanding of his involvement in M26, Gosho will put his bad ideas in a movie script and make it worse wherever someone else didn't already.
>>291276898No matter how bad 30 ends up being, at least Ran's VA won't have to feel bad seeing them degrade her character for the hundredth time. I wish this shit ended before she died but they're never going to handle the character right again anyway.She felt Ran was becoming too inhuman by movie 17 (as in, her action was becoming too ridiculous) and it's gotten way, way more retarded since then. The only time they do anything with Ran is when she's crying to look pathetic or needs to be sidelined or is treated as a generic muscle character with red aura surrounding her as she powers up and serpentines like a snake around culprits. The only thing of worth she did in the entire 2 hour anniversary was find a hatch and kick a closed shutter gate and it wasn't even built up to. They cut backwards to it afterwards. And then they just show her going towards the camera, they didn't even show her doing it. This is the best they could do for a main character in a big celebration in 2 hours.
>>291276898>>291277724The problem with Ran is that they still insist she is kept in the dark, yet the cast now counts many people that know Conan=Shinichi, or at least that Conan is genius, and they all know how to fight, making any potential involvement of Ran an unnecessary complication. Long gone are the days Conan needed to hide behind Kogoro, now he has world's best sniper and Japan's most hyperactive agent on speed-dial.Don't know what is even there to say/do in London with the two, it's not like they will ever escape the status quo.
>>291277724>>291278297I legit don't think Ran is a main character anymore. I think everyone started seeing her as a low tier supporting character. After hundreds of DB/Ai fillers you also started getting versions of the detective agency cases where she just kept being "away" or never mentioned at all and it looked really empty and lonely. Kogoro and Conan would go out on cases, go to these cool places, eat dinner together, and she was gone. They never fully ditched the normal fillers with Ran or anything but she's become more and more disposable to the point she seems tertiary even in normal scenarios.Even Gosho can sideline her in stories she could do something, like the one where Kogoro is in danger and all Ran can do is just cry about ghosts. I like the girl but when I read that my mind immediately jumped, without being able to help it, to thinking "wow that's pathetic." It was an actual serious situation with Kogoro and Ran is just completely useless and stupid. To add insult to injury Gosho even had Kogoro attempt to text help to Ran only to accidentally send it to Conan instead, giving her more time to blubber and be useless instead of trying to actually save her dad.
>>291278297>Don't know what is even there to say/do in London with the two, it's not like they will ever escape the status quo.Easiest guess is that Shinichi and Ran will be around for more Akai family drama. Like some epic complicated reunion in London and then ShinConan is seperated from Ran for most of it. Add in some flashbacks about dumb shit that totally happened during the original London arc and that'll be enough. Anyone still coping that it'll be a smaller cast focused directly on ShinRan haven't fucking learned their lesson and somehow believes they'd ever trust a big event movie to do gangbusters relying solely on Shinichi and Ran and none of the usual suspects.
>>291279079Akai family also gives them an open door to shove Haibara in to make sure it doesn't get too ShinRan-y. She'll be there like always whenever a scene is too romantic with Ran, and they'll also lean into the plot that she's related to the Akai's. It's writing itself already. They've been pushing plot into the movies for awhile now, this one is clearly geared up for something with Akai. I mean M26 already had Vodka involved with kidnapping Ai, looking right at her and believing she's Sherry. M27 ended on Kaito's dad reveal like some capeshit movie aftercredits twist.
>>291279345I guess I should watch the movies at some point if relevant stuff is put in there.But fucking Vodka?
I'm just waiting for them to reveal Mary and Elena had another sister, and she is Rei's mother.
>>291279439They have been using movies to soft launch background stuff like they did it in movie 21 to introduce Momiji.>But fucking Vodka?he got help from movie only BO agent, Pinga.
>>291279439Yes. They still have the usual new member who shows up just to die before he can do anything or reveal too much, but they just straight up let Vodka go up to Haibara and say shit like "Woah so this little girl is really Sherry?" The only limits were that they had to be tricked into thinking it was a mistake by the end and that Gin never got to see her, but he was on his way to. The movies are allowed to do too much and Gosho just keeps letting them while the manga keeps being its own type of retarded.>>291279589I feel like Momiji being soft launched is not as egregious as actual plot stuff being pushed to extremes or revealing massive character connections/reveals like Toichi or Shinichi and Ran meeting the police academy. They even had Mary talk to Subaru in M24.
>what people cope: shinichi and ran main characters in london, huge romance compelling mystery being held onto with passionate vigor for the 30th anniversary, and finally something good>what will happen: akai family drama and akai's dad revealed as alive. sorry we had to have ran kidnapped and seperated from everyone for awhile, we didn't have room for her during the complicated akai story with him and mary and sera and shukichi and haibara, but ran talked about shinichi at the start and lifted a car or something at the end so that was cool right?
>>291279835That's what I'm already bracing myself for. If the series was not called Detective Conan they would probably ditch Conan too in favor of Akai.
Is the latest movie any good, or will I get bored? See you in 2 hours.
>>291279960>focus on chihaya>good
>>291279992she was fun on the motorcycle that one time
>>291279960If you already know the character(s) the movie is about and still chose to voluntarily buy a ticket for it, and weren't held at gunpoint or something, then I doubt you'd realize if the movie even was bad.
>>291279889Problem is they started pandering too much to the bored housewives who buy this manga. Everything has to do with Amuro or Akai and it's no wonder a girl like Ran gets shafted at this point.
>>291280259ran was always terrible
>>291280339Nah, Ran used to be a good character, the "mother" in their group of reckless idiots, complete with risking her life to protect a child.
>>291279718>I feel like Momiji being soft launched is not as egregious as actual plot stuff being pushed to extremesHer family group is 3rd most important after Carasuma and Suzuki. They might have some role, no matter how minor, to play in the endgame.>revealing massive character connections/reveals like Toichi or Shinichiwasn't this always a theory/so well known it's almost canon way before Pentagram movie? My reaction to the reveal was 'so finally they confirmed what we had already known for a while'.
>>291244374if only we had more chapters like this one...
>>291280493Someone who understands.You can track the status of Detective Conan becoming more soulless by the more it loses its understanding of Ran's character and her place. What it needed years ago was someone to remember what her character is supposed to be and put pen to paper for it again... but the time has passed.
>>291280564It might have been one of the theories floating around, but I don't think it was that well known, considering the outrage from fujos when Yusaku dropped the news.
>>291280564My favorite of retarded additions is a big titty ojou love rival for Kazuha 800 episodes into the story who flies around with rocketlaunchers and wants you to pretend she's an endgame option.
>>291280884And then after million attempts Heiji finally confesses, and him and his girl-shaped keychain are officially together... but the ojou doesn't quit.I would have been more tolerant of her shenanigans if there was an end to Heiji obsession and the focus was shifted to her powerful family, but this is just insane.
>>291281042Even Heiji's "confession" had a horrible payoff. Like you can feel it, Gosho was thinking he was capturing some old Conan quality in the way the Kazuha's mom twist/introduction was done, but it was just... bland and underwhelming regardless. You're going to pay off that extremely dragged out will they wont they with him just talking to himself and being overheard? Coulda fuckin happened anywhere, even in the bathroom of his house while he's jerkin off. God. And then he follows THAT up over a year later with some mysterious build up to... saying it happened, they already knew the others knew but just forgot. What the fuck man, at least pretend to respect your audience.
>>291280743surely fujos weren't retarded enough to think Shinichi and Kid looking and sounding the same was just a happy coincidence.
>>291281370Well, they think two men being cousins has some impact on whether one can ship them, as if they were actual people and not fictional characters (while completely ignoring canon girlfriends). Might be that they subconsciously chose to ignore the obvious cause it broke their fun.
>>291281370I feel like a lot of people thought Gosho was just being chill that it was just clearly him reusing the same designs over and over from his previous works and just treat it as funny or messing around with the Kaito shtick in the movies, not that he'd wait 30 fucking years to say they're cousins and it be some mega hype bomb drop. I mean Ran and Aoko look the same too, people don't seem to have any confusion on that just being reused designs. Are we supposed to expect them to be related now to keep it even, or are they going to be allowed to keep being what Shinichi and Kaito were for 30 years, funny lookalikes by the same creator? Honestly just felt lame.
>>291281736It might not lead to anything, but I feel the need to point out that Aoko's mom is a prosecutor, which is rival to Eri as defense lawyer. The dynamic is kind of similar to Yusaku being detective, and Toichi being a thief.Kogoro and Nakamori are both comedy relief, while Yukiko and Chikage are both legend-turned-housewife. Gosho really likes reusing ideas.However, Aoko has been seen by Ran, Sonoko, Conan, and others, and no one made a connection between their looks, whereas Kaito's similarity to Shinichi has been pointed out by Ran in chapter 156, which came out all the way back in 1997.Yusaku's opinion on Okita is yet to be heard.
>>291276392So far, the teaser only included Shinichi and Ran, Gosho may have hinted at the Conan persona being at least heavily downplayed this movie, and recent artwork by Gosho focused on Shinichi and Ran. Things might easily change as we get closer to the movie but, so far, nothing is indicating M30 suffering from cast blot beyond the characters who are in all of the movies (Conan, Ran, Kogoro, Sonoko, Agasa, Haibara, and the Detective Boys).The two worrying things are:1. Movie can't do too much development as they're technically non-canon. Don't expect the Shinran relationship to be celarly advanced during the movie.2. Characterization. Not sure if his wiring has improved since but Sakurai is the person who, in the tie-in episode to Movie 17 (his first ever movie), wrote Ran as beating Kogoro to an inch of his life simply because Kogoro was drunk and not taking a case of missing chocolate-flavored sweets seriously.
After looking into it wow, the anime team seems to favor Haibara over Ran. I find that pretty sad.
>>291282755Probably figured her personality type would bring more attention. Not like it will amount to anything, despite everything Gosho is still loyal to his couples.
>>291279960Finally back home.The movie was really enjoyable, I wasn't bored. Lots of action, and the movie only characters aren’t bad.It’s not in my top 3, but it’s close.I noticed that at the end of the credits, there wasn’t a teaser for the next movie. Was there none in Japan, or was the only post-credits scene Ran on an electric scooter?
admit it, DC's story peaked here and it's only been a slow plateau if not downhill since then.
When will they dub episodes after 120
>>291284154hopefully never.
>>291284319you wont be laughing when your eyesight becomes crossed due to alcoholism
>>291282755It's been extremely obvious.
>>291284575They also almost completely removed her from the OP 1 remake for the 30th anniversary and replaced the Next Conan's Hint with a remake of the old next episode title screen so Haibara would be there instead and she would be gone. They've been using this since January. They're really not subtle about wishing she was gone. Like straight up they treat her like a nuisance.
>>291284575Why did the lady react like that
ShinRan is endgame so there's no real harm in non canon anime original bone given to CoAi fans.
>>291284726I think she was a guest VA character for the movie. Either the actress personally likes CoAi so they tossed her in the background happy about it, or it was just another symptom of being a Sakurai movie and wanting to have someone notice them.
>>291284707That screen practically broke a long standing tradition. In all 30 years the only time their hint pic ever excluded Ran were the ones that had no characters on it at all.
We need Kodama back. Someone somewhere doing the right thing even when Gosho himself won't.
>>291284776>boneThey have the entire meal minus like, the mashed potatoes.
