It’s creepy, there’s false leads, and a really bizarre solution. Kogoro, Ran, and Conan end up accidentally invited to a party and witnesses to a murder, as they so often do by accident.
Episode 39/40 – Wealthy Daughter Murder Caseįrom one creepy abandoned mansion to another, I’m beginning to think that someone has a thing for them. Conan also takes over Sonoko to do the reveal again, which is quite amusing, but the bittersweet tone that it ends on is the real icing on the cake. This is one of the most graphic murders so far, involving severed limbs and just a generally creepy atmosphere, playing heavily on the “old abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere” trope that occurs so often in fiction. When Conan and Ran get invited to Sonoko’s mountain villa for a weekend getaway, a murder obviously follows. Episode 34/35 – Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case It’s an interesting mystery to boot and also includes the first appearance of one of the major recurring characters, though I won’t spoil who. Instead of Ran and Kogoro or even Suzuki being around to investigate with Conan, he’s completely on his own, except for that strangely perceptive lady in the coffee shop.
WATCH DETECTIVE CONAN EPISODE SERIES
This episode happens to be one of my favorites, and one that bucks that usual formula the series has established up until now. RELATED: Two Detective Conan Anime Spin-Offs Announced Episode 32 – Coffee Shop Murder Case Still, it’s interesting to see a peek into Ran and Shinichi’s school life backstory, and the mystery is also well written. Unfortunately for her, it’s also the first time that Conan has to use Sonoko as a substitute detective because Kogoro isn’t around, and the hilarious results lighten the rest of the episode’s tone. This is a bittersweet episode with a poignantly personal story for Ran and Shinichi, as well as Sonoko. She also jumps out of a second-story window! The case is interesting with some great twists and turns to the plot, and some really excellent and fun moments for Ran. Let’s watch Ran kick in a car window! Just kidding, that’s not the entire reason I like this episode so much, just most of it. It’s such an iconic case that it was remade for the anime’s 1000th episode.Įpisode 13 – The Strange Person Finding Murder Case Instead of being just a plain old whodunit, “Moonlight Sonata” really tugs on the viewer’s heartstrings and shows why we should care about these cases.
The writing is excellent, and it blends drama, mystery, and tragedy skillfully, a blend that better develops over the course of the series. “Moonlight Sonata” was the first episode of the series that really proved what it was capable of, and the first proper two-part mystery. Episode 11 – Moonlight Sonata Murder Case Plus, it’s a solidly written mystery and some really cute scenes between Conan and Ran during this Valentine’s themed episode, for those who are into that.
The first appearance of the tranquilizer dart wristwatch! A staple of the series and essential for understanding how a lot of the cases get wrapped up by a grade-schooler. Meeting Conan/Shinichi, Ran, Kogoro, Agasa, and the Detective Boys is fun, despite the rather downer backdrop of the show’s initial premise. Yeah, sure, the usual short introduction sets things up, but it doesn’t have quite the same impact as actually getting to meet and see these characters for the first time and having a real introduction to their world. They introduce all the characters, Conan’s gadgets, and set the emotional tone for the show. The first three episodes (“ Roller Coaster Murder Case,” “ President’s Daughter Kidnapping Case,” and “An Idol’s Locked Room Murder Case/Beware of Idols”) are a no-brainer.
