Anime-Original Episodes You Like?

I liked that one, but one thing that bugged me, and this is pretty nitpicky of me, is how we're just introduced to "Masami Hirota" right away, and she's apparently a friend of Conan on a first name basis. It felt like it was written in a way where you'd think that she had appeared in episodes beforehand. That's just how it felt to me, personally.

See... That didn't bother me since... well... what is so strange about getting to know a teller at a bank? So that didn't bother me, in fact it felt more true to life, since we never saw Conan in a bank before, but it is logical that he has been there before [likely with Ran while she was cashing Kogoro's checks], and sat around doing nothing. During that downtime I'm sure he talked to "Masami Hirota," who was a nice teller, and in that time probably got to know each other to be on a first name basis with each other. But you are right, it is all dependent on how you see it personally, and that was my interpretation.

I didn't find anything strange with that, because I do that often at the various places I go to. I just thought that the way it was written made it seem like you should have known that person already from other episodes, when in fact, they kind of threw her and her connection to Conan, Kogoro, and Ran, right at you. Yeah, you could just make an assumption that Conan and Ran had known her before, but I just felt that that part was written oddly.

Like I said, a bit of a nitpicky thing to point out, but it did bug me a little. It doesn't downgrade the episode at all, though. It's still a fantastic episode, and when she talks to Conan and he discovers who shot her... one of my favorite scenes in the show. And then the end where we see Conan with his head down, and Ran holding him with her head also down, while that sax solo is playing... very powerful scene.

Wait, that one was an anime original? But it ties into Ai's first appearance. I don't understand.

I certaintly thought the way the character was treated it was as if she had been in a few other episodes before. I wondered why we should care that this random woman had been killed when stuff like that happens in every episode.

It would have been pretty awesome if they had thought to create and develop the character before killing her off. Have her be an innocent suspect, have her be peripherally involved in something else, stuff like that...it all would have added up to a reason to care when she died.

Then in the next episode, Conan acts like it had happened a long time ago! Said that he had almost forgotten it!

Yeah, 128 is an anime original. In the manga, the case that was used as episode 13 in the anime was the original Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota case. That case, as well as the Shinkansen bomb case, were both B.O. cases in the manga, but in the anime, the characters were changed from Gin and Vodka to various generic baddies.

I've often heard that the reasoning for not making those two cases B.O. cases was because they didn't want the anime to focus on the B.O. right away, or something like that. Either way, it created an odd continuity error in the Tequila case, as Conan freaks out to hearing Gin and Vodka being name dropped, when according to the anime, he had no way of knowing their names beforehand.

I forgot to add The Day Kogoro Quit. The was really fun. A very interesting case too.

I think the anime writers are commonly better at comedy than Aoyama is...

recently this is true but Gosho has been pretty hilarious at times

[Ran-Fan]

But Gosho is sooo serious now  , in the beginning Detective Conan was very funny  , and now the manga lost something of this funny  .

My favorite episodes are 294 and 295  (Smash of Love and Determintion) because was the first episodes that I see  , I like the “damsel in distressâ€

uh no he isn't. In fact, Conan has seemed pretty silly for the last year or so.

Aww, I like many of the AOs. It's nice not to know the solution in advance from reading the manga.

Especially the ones with the detective boys. If I had to pick one... well, I pick 140 - SOS message from Ayumi. Not the greatest mystery... but Ayumi was pretty clever that time. 

[ranger]

I like the one when Kudo's parents move into a house and spy on him, and disguise as an old couple. 

the older AOs were much better, to the point where I didn't know they were AO.  I can't say the same now, especially after that hot springs case.
