New Anime Special Announced: The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa

[Jecka]

So, If this is indeed the crossover/collab, then I'm disappointed

[Okiyakaivan]

Memory loss? Does it have same ep on fake shinichi scene?

[char13happy]

probably still a better plot than 7 of the past 8 movies

Which is the chosen one ?

I'm actually interested as well. Me and my friend are taking bets on this one.

Also, the trailer looks pretty interesting. Let's see what's their take on memory loss this time with other characters.

Conan lost his memory in sauna or something like that, and we seen him naked in a car. I think the other characters might not even see him until his memory will back.

[char13happy]

I, uh, actually meant other characters as in ones that are not from the DC universe. I guess I should have worded it better?

[frankguo8]

I just saw the trailer.......

Conan lost his memory in a public bath by tripping and gets abducted naked


ORZ what the heck!?

For some reason I'm not even remotely interested in this special...

Comparison bathhouse scene from CONAN SPECIAL and KAGI DOROBO NO METHOD

Now we can question if there's anything original in this special...

So... This is just a Conan version of that guy's movie? That's what they want us to be excited about as a commemoration of the anniversary?

Not what I expected, at least.

[KaitoHedgehog]

Welp, they kinda killed our hype there.

It's really funny because I was just watching "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", and I found out there's a movie called "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya", and then I found out about this. Best coincidence ever.

Perhaps 2016, 20th anniversary of the anime, will bring us something a bit more exciting :V

Now we can question if there's anything original in this special...

After flipping through Kagi Dorobo no Method, there are quite a few differences I noticed between the movie and the Conan trailer. In the movie the memory-less guy and the guy who stole his identity are separated for nearly half of the movie learning about each other's lives. In the Conan special we see the two of them looking like they abduct the memory-less Conan together from the bathhouse. Those would happen toward the beginning of the movie and drastically alter how it would end. In the original movie there is a woman who really wants to get married and follows the memory-less guy around. Since the main two men have abducted the memory-less Conan and Conan is not marrying age this is unlikely to happen in the special. Plus Ran and Haibara being at the bathhouse when Conan slips and falls would also be different.

Based on the ending of the original movie, Id say that this special will end with Conan teaching his own method of deduction and how his mind works to the two men that abduct him and somehow help them through a major problem that runs the full length of the special starting with the guy with the tatto shown in the trailer. However they probably will have completely different outcomes and endings because the trailer shows a bunch of things that don't line up with the movie at all. I just posted the pictures of the bath scene above for comparison purposes. Apparently Gosho really did like this movie and I would recommend that some of you watch it.

[Jecka]

Yep. Now I'm totally disappointed.
