I think anyone who likes detective anime should watch Detective Conan, just for the experience. Individually, each episode is pretty good and entertaining. The overarching plot is kind of wacky, but since a high school student shrinks to a little kid, that's somewhat expected.

out the other half of the mystery. I had to give up after 200 or something episodes, and if you're looking for a fast-paced thriller this isn't it, but if you want a comforting detective show then detective Conan is perfect. Personally, I did like Magic Kaito better, but I love gentleman thief shows so. . . The only thing I was disappointed with is the lack of character development for any of the characters. I realize this isn't a focus of the show, but even over hundreds of episodes there isn't any development and I believe that's why the show can feel stagnant rather than just predictable plot. Although, the show does a good job with introducing new main characters that pop up consistently for the rest of the show. Despite the downsides, I felt that detective Conan has a unique charm that I haven't found in another show. I also fully believe that there will still be new episodes coming out even a hundred years later, and I am in awe of those who are caught up with this monster of a show.
