The newly added scenes are surprisingly nice. Still the Shiho scene at the end makes it seem like she has interest in Shinichi from the start.

Good special, though I felt that it was a bit too convoluted at times and they didn't need to showcase that many characters here. Would it even be suitable for an actual introduction to the series? Probably not, so not really that fair to call it "Episode One".

Great treat for long-time fans, and people caught up with the manga/anime though.

Some specifics:

GOOD STUFF! I'm just a bit sad this remake made me reminisce about ZARD!
That song in the tropical land is so nostalgic, of course, the oldest OP song too. The omission of the Detective Boys in the Mystery Coaster kinda bugged me, but well, the inclusion of lots of new footages definitely did wonders, like Ran's karate competition, Makoto's destined love at first sight on Sonoko, Korn and Chianti's short skit, Akai and Jodie and lots of other stuffs.

Although, overall, I'm happy to see this remake of the first episode, Koyama Rikiya's Mouri Kogoro is still tons inferior to the Kamiya Akira's Mouri Kogoro! I still can't move on regarding this fact. (T_T)

That was an amazing special.I like how they add many little things for this like seeing Makoto falling in love with Sonoko and many small details.
Also really nice we get almost an hour of Shinichi xD

Freaking loved this to no end.
Art and animation were fabulous, the cameos of basically EVERYONE were so much fun.

Playing the first opening made me so nostalgic, and the fountain scene reminded me of the movie where Conan tells Ran he loves her so much.
The end bit of Shiho was awesome, now we know that the BO have Shinichi as dead in their database or whatever, it was kind of a Vermouth-Jodie moment if we didn't know any better though lol.

The VA of Shinichi did a pretty good job expressing how it hurt for his body to shrink, I really felt that scene.
Speaking of VAs, does Conan's VA never get tired of the role she plays? He always sounds the same and in full energy, I never grow tired of it, and I rarely hear her in some other anime, she doesn't do a lot, does she?
But whenever she's voice acting I can know for sure it's her, like Satorou's mother in Erased, Envy from FMA and the Kid Hero from OPM.

The interactions with Ran were surprisingly really awesome, I always kind of feel like Ran is so one dimensional and her lines are always generic and predictable, but the interactions with Shinichi were really funny and nice, maybe I forgot the beginning was like this.

Introduction of Gin and Vodka was really cool.
The mention of rats is beginning to annoy me between this and the 20th movie though xD
The reanimating of the first KID encounter was badass as well, always loved that moment from my childhood.

But yeah, this has got to be one my favorite OVAs of DC, even though most of them are decent to good already.
This is motivating me to watch the anime again, since I have not been watching for like a year now.

She also did Hajime Hinata from Danganronpa 3. I'm so happy she got that role since not only was she able to give life to Hinata, my DR-playing friends also got to know more of Detective Conan once I told them she's Conan's VA. (I plan to do the same thing once NDVR3 comes out since Megumi Hayashibara-sensei's in it <3)

I really love this one!
But I got some speculation about Black Organization. I think BO is the organization that help some vicious organization to survive from their problem. I mean when Gin and Vodka met someone in Tropical Land they talk about video or something and then Gin and Vodka gave it to him and he gave a lot of money to them. So I think BO work is to be the one who play the "dirty things" and they will pay them.

Sorry for bad English btw XD

As a long time fan of DC I thoroughly enjoyed this special! While people say some of the cameos were "unnecessary" and "out of place", this is a special after all so it's all in good fun I think. I personally enjoyed all the easter eggs and cameos.




I initially thought this was a pure remake of the first episode so wasn't expecting that much but it was actually worthwhile. Definitely wouldn't use it to introduce DC to a newbie since there are wayyyy too many spoilers, but highly recommend it to the long time fans of the series.

A little boring but otherwise a good special. Korn wanting to ride the Ferris wheel was priceless lol. I also liked ran's karate fight. I wished amuro actually appeared instead of being mentioned only.

I liked it. It was nice seeing all the new additions that were blended seamlessly into it. Finding all those easter eggs was fun. A nice treat for long-time fans.

That decapitation scene was far more gruesome than I remembered it, looking like it was straight out of Kill Bill...they really didn't pull any punches there, and quite glad they didn't censor the hell out of it with a giant white light-beam blob or a black censor block.

Yea, so this basically confirms I won't watch this anime ever.

So many logical errors.

One nitpick I found kinda hilarious is how his "new, younger" voice is a lot more mature than his teenager voice.

1) I'm surprised by how tolerable Ran was. She was more tolerable than Shinichi was, funny enough. And I now know who to blame: Professor Agasa. His logic makes sense, but really, for Ran, it ruined the fun of her character (more than being the love interest already did). Thanks, Agasa!

2) The romance is still garbage annoying. Thanks, Shinichi!

3) Surprised they allowed the gory to remain in this age of censorship. I thought they changed censored it via changing the blood color at first (they kinda did later on - that stuff was BLACK!) but it was identifiable as blood. Thumbs up on that.

4) It's good to see the change between Shinichi and Conan. Going from a person who was ready to not hide his secret to a guy who basically becomes a criminal.

5) A bit too many unnecessary cameos. What point do they serve? It's not like they do anything for the narrative or the characters at large; lowest form of fan service.

6) Karate fight was great, I can't lie. Animated real nice and had a good flow. It's good to see an actual fight for once.

7) The Sherry parts were the best ones. I wish the special was all about her rather than ShinRan.

All in all, it's okay. It's mostly for the ShinRan fans, tbh. For everyone else, you can literally watch the first and last 5-10 minutes and the karate fight and not miss anything.

Kogoro hasn't felt like the same character ever since the voice actor was changed.
