Post by dilbertschalter »

Last time, 345 beat what may end up being its toughest opponent 304, by a fairly close margin. This time, to finish the round, we have:

Episode 309: Contact with the Black Organization: Negotiation Chapter
Episode 310: Contact with the Black Organization: Pursuit Chapter
Episode 311: Contact with the Black Organization: Desperation Chapter

vs

Episode 342: Bride of the Huis Ten Bosch

Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

To round out the bracket (ie, ensure that no episode had a bye), as well as to add some excitement, I included several memorable multipart episodes (Desparate Revival, Meeting with the BO, this set of episodes and Clash of Red and Black).

The BO episodes is the part where Conan and Agasa has to hitch some hike from Gunma, and Conan had to hide inside a locker (that's most I could remember). I'll vote for this one because I like how the messages in the BLOG were hidden (albeit silly way to do so these days). Also, because it's the arc that introduced one of Vermouth's quote with all that stream of time stuff.

I don't quite remember the other special... wait did I ever watched it...

The only reason I remember 342 is "coming soon".  ;D I vote for 309-311.

Normally I would tell people to download 342 to see what it is about, but it happens to be both bad and boring, so I'll spare that bit of advice this time.

Then what is it about, I have most likely seen it but I can't remember.

conan and co went somewhere, they talked to someone who was getting married or something, the bride got kidnapped at one point I think, and I think there was a hot air balloon at one point.

I think it was the most recent special to be translated, which points to it being uninteresting and not relevant to much.

I can have some faint memories, but it doesn't sound good and as I remember it, it wasn't good. Thanks.

...and now that you quoted me, I just realized I said the "bridge" got kidnapped. How do you kidnap a bridge?

488 iirc was the last special to be untranslated.
