What are your thoughts about Sera and the Bourbon arc so far

[Tawi]

hi! i'm another longtime detective conan fan just like a lot of you guys. however, i decided to call it quits after skipping over to the manga (i dont read the manga) in order to read the hyped london case, which was a major letdown for me. i stopped watching at episode 602, the devil in the tennis court.  i miss dc and a few days ago, i decided to get back on it. anyway, im more of an anime person so i've tried my best to keep myself out of the manga. however, i couldn't help but hear about this new character sera and the few developments on the bourbon arc. basically, i need you guys to help me out with setting my expectations on the 600s.  ;D

here are a few questions i've been dying to ask;

1) are dc cases in the 600s getting better, worse or more or less the same as the so-so 500s?
2) how do you like sera as a character? is she boring or cool/refreshing?
3) where do you see the current bourbon arc heading? can you see future bo cases as a repeat of the mediocre red shirts case? or do you see them getting back on track?

you don't have to answer everything but i'd really appreciate it if you could give me a few insights on my favorite anime. i wanna get hyped again! D:

1 I don't see anything interesting about cases from current anime to current manga. Mean they're typical DC case. Not good nor bad. If you interest only in plot, Just Sera could make it interesting, which in anime you have to wait a while.
2 She's cool as herself and much speculation are made about her, currently, nothing point to to a big event but when time come. It's possible for an interesting plot.
3 I enjoy redshirt case because it's give some information to talk/discuss about. Future case seem lack in the appearance of

Spoiler:

BO

but still tied to the plot and give opportunities to discuss too.

1-Except 602, the fillers have been pretty good in the 600s (until now at least). As for manga-based non plot related cases, I suppose you'll enjoy some of them and dislike others, as always. I think the horrible London Arc is what hurts the 600s the most but the rest is pretty good.
2-I dislike her. Pretty much a girl version of Eisuke. I also find her quite annoying (with her running gag about her mom) and she pretty much can't and won't bring anything interesting to a plot which I think has been quite bad for almost 300 episodes now.
3- I think the beginning of the end of this arc will start when we reach the 800 chapter milestone. If that's the case the next BO case will be better than the red shirts one.
