Just look at these faces!!!! They look odd!!
I prefer those we can see in the first OVA or episodes ~~190, they are one thousand times neater!!!!

Meh not the worst of what we've been getting, also I saw that one AO that was in the 740s yesterday, can't remember which, but that looked surprisingly good.

Me neither. Traditional animation > digital crap.

Personally, I thought the art was at its best during the digital-but-not-HD days, from around 305 through 452.

I don't have a problem with the design as much as the use of color. It's too bright too frequently, and while it looks fine in darker settings, at day it can be kinda obnoxious sometimes.

though tbh, outside of the best animated episodes, the art has frequently been the worst part of the series, perhaps by a country mile. Long running anime rarely look that good after all...

Thank you!!!

The face seems a little bit too pointy, but I don't particularly hate it or anything. The newest AO episode had pretty good animations imo.

Yeah, it got really good in the middle but has been declining since.

Do you mean 750 or 743/742 ?

I think the best was mid-100's to mid-200's, give or take. The new episodes are ok, but they lack something the old ones had.

Peak was 425 for me

I also liked the art from Movie 3

anyway, what's with the way Gosho draws the noses of suspects in the manga lately?

I'll partially disagree with you here. True, if used frequently, it can lead to the characters (or scenes) look rather awkward. But when used during a closeup situation with a high amount of tension, the thick lines seem to add a bit more feeling of urgency, like when it was used during the Bell Tree Express case.

Aside from that, if used in normal or calm situations, it doesn't make any of the art look good.

Yeah the older coloring was amazing especially during night time. These days those scenes just don't look anywhere near as good as we saw in vampire mansion case...

I think the best episode where the coloring looked really good for some reason recently is 734. It just seemed smooth for some reason, and fitting for that time of the day where the sun is going down etc.

I do agree that the art looks very odd at times, but I don't think they could afford the cost of high quality art with a long running Anime series like Conan.

Imo, the art looked the best at the Clash Arc, I think it was around the 495~510.

Vermouth looked deformed on the train.
