So I looked around and since nobody has posted about it yet, here we are: a bit of Mai's opening theme song starting from episode 757 (aired recently in Japan).

What do you think?

Dreadful.

WOW!! one of the best DC OP! unlike with previous one that was bad this one really pumped me up and looked awsome! too bad there was no plot spoilers but nontheless great OP!

Don't like this OP. The music isn't in my liking. But the animation isn't bad, and even Ran had more screen time than just a couple of seconds.

This. Worst since Teardrops.

The song is decent for me (cough Mai Kuraki bias cough), the animation is... interesting. This really doesn't fit a detective series though, maybe if this was some kind of fantasy anime I'd buy it, but on Conan... ehhh.

I'd agree this is possibly the worst Mai Kuraki songs she has done for DC, but hey I still like it over GGC and Free Magic and Tear Drops and I find it pretty a hype-inducing song so.

Song's definitely a strange choice for Conan anime (at one point I thought I was in a nightclub of some kind). Animation wise... hard to say. I liked the concept though, nice idea and all. Overall, better than GREED, but I expected more from Mai. Oh well, can't have it all, can we?

Interesting concept, eye-pleasing visuals (Am I the only one who liked what they did with the door thingies? Not to mention they put Haibara in front of #1!) and it has a certain charm to it since it deviates from the usual kind of openings. The thing is, however, like someone posted above, it doesn't /fit/ to be used as an opening for Conan. Everything was set in a fantasy/futuristic/supernatural atmosphere reminiscent of Tsubasa or Fairy Tail. Match it with a techno-pop kind of song (Definitely not the best but not the worst, either) and you're left wondering what the animator's were smoking when they did this.

For me, this is still better than teardrops or GGC.

hahaha...
First thing that came to mind was Bleach with the sakura thingie..
Also... reminds me of ending songs of Gundam Seed/Destiny...like Find The Way...ending 3 from Gundam Seed

I have to agree with the above.

The one comment I heard was it looked like the animators had been hitting acid and/or reading CLAMP...

I actually like the song, though the animation is bizarre. Might just be I like dancey music. Didn't really care for Greed.

I have stopped liking DC openings for a long time

Clearly the animators have played too much Child of Eden, judging from Ran's appearance and her floating in that sphere towards the end.
