I first watched DC back in 2002, when the son of a family friend of my parents introduced it to me. At that time, my friend had DVD episodes of the first 100 or so episodes dubbed in Chinese, so those were the only ones I watched then. Shortly thereafter, however, my interests drifted elsewhere, and remained so for a long time. However, shortly before I graduated from college in May 2010, I decided to rekindle this interest while I studied for my final exams and finished up some projects before graduation. It didn’t take long for me to become hooked in DC once again; in fact, it was because of my former interest in DC that I took up other crime dramas such as CSI, NCIS, etc. during my college years.
After taking some high school English classes, I came to realize that the concept of dramatic irony applies heavily in DC – the most prominent example being that we the audience know Conan = Shinichi, but not all characters in the story know that fact, and those who do know have so far not been actively spreading this info to other characters (for obvious reasons). The same goes for Ai and her true identity.
Now, I find it very interesting that this series employs the "floating timeline" concept - in other words, the ages of the main characters seem to be “fixedâ€
