So what made you? Coincidentially caught sight of the manga and liked it? Friend reccomendation? etc.?
Mine would be because i watched it as a child and enjoyed it very much, but i forgot all about it until last year where i was thinking what anime i should watch next and thought 'Why not my childhood favourite?'

A more detailed answer can be found
here, but if not there: It was great. The series had all the classic elements of a mystery--certain ones of which still haven't been captured as well these days as they were in the Golden Age. Each episode was contained so well, even the two parters. I appreciated that pacing a lot, as you never thought, "Wow, I could just skip to the next episode and have this re-capped for me" (trust me, I've thought that with other mystery shows >.>). I think that feasibility is really one of the strongest points of Conan.

I say CIA, there more for the people, while the FBI is more for the goverment.
FBI "Would you rather be a dog of the military." Quote FMA
CIA "Or a Hero of Justice." Yaiba Qoute from DC
Then again, i am no expert.

I was flipping channels and I noticed it and watched an episode. It was good, the problem was that it was part I of a a 2 part episode and I had to go to bed early the next night. I kept on missing the second part of that episode (it was the one with the murders one a cruise), so I finally went online to look for it, first I went to the Adult Swim forums, there I Knightus refer I Kaze somwhere, I found it and started torrenting away. Then I found Kaizou after reading some post about how it sucked.

you do realise joining FBI or CIA is not as cool as anime show them as? But it's impressive u got accepted. I would go for FBI? of course this is just opinion from a teenager.

Case Closed (as it's known in the U.S.) was being shown occasionally on [as]. That's where most American's started watching... and the dubbing doesn't seem too horrible until you actually watch the Japanese-thousand-times-better version.

well...i first saw Conan on a german tv channel, and the irony of it is that, at that time i wasn;t even really aware of anime in a whole concept. everything i saw back then was just cool, funny and entertaining

a couple of years later i began looking for it on the web and found it, thank GOD

it was in 2004 when it air in adult swing, i stayed awake till 4am to see it and it was awesome. It was the episode of the museum, one of the first episodes and got addicted to it and a couple of years later a friend of mine had a portable hard drive with all the episodes, ovas and movies shown at that time and i buy it, how lucky i didn't have to download the series from the beginning

DC has been aired in my country for the last 7 years. I started watching it on the TV 5 or 6 years ago, but since the story was so dense that I couldn't keep up with it (some days I just couldn't watch it). Everything changed when I got my PC with Internet on it: then I started to feel curious about the series, and finally I ended up here.
And thank goodness, because it's been like 4 or 5 months since we could see the newest episode (422) and they have been reruning the old ones again, but I kept up with the anime and manga thanks to you, guys.

I'm from Chile, but I've lived in the US for the last 8 years, I watched Conan there, but It wasn't one of the best for me, One day a couple of years ago after I had rewatched all me favorites animes I thought to myself "whatever happened to that Conan show" I looked it up on youtube and to my surprise they had quite a few episodes, the first one I watched (mind you the last time I had seen Conan was in 2000 and the episode was the one when Hattori appears for the 2nd time and finds out about Shinichi being Conan) 443-444, the Shell gathering, of course the anime didn't look like I remembered, the colors were brigther and didn't have that old classic anime look anymore, but what got me the most what that brown haired girl (Haibara) I thought " who the heck is She?" I went to wikipedia and discovered that Conan was still airing in Japan, I started watching Conan all over again and making a list of episodes that I had watched and put it on excel so I knew that I had watched them, until one day youtube took all episodes from their website somebody posted to go to GUBA.com and upload there, so there I went and kept watching, all the B.O thing drove me crazy, I loved it!!!! I had no idea the show had gone so far, until they took the episodes from GUBA too, I went to Veoh.com and that's when I remember thinking I should look for KaizouFansubs since It appeared in a lot of the subs I had watched and that's how I realized there was Anime-Conan, Hari no Ito, Neg and more than one group doing the show, of course now it's all one big group.
That's my story of how I started watching and loving Conan and ended up here with all of you guys at DCTP, thank you for your hard work!! ^_^
