Reader’s Question:
Can anyone recommend which episodes of the anime I should watch to prepare for this year’s Conan movie?
Preparing for the Latest Conan Movie: A Journey of Episodes
Ah, the thrill of gearing up for a new Detective Conan movie! It’s like waiting for your favorite band to release a
long-anticipated album. As a fellow fan, I can totally relate to the excitement and the urge to revisit some classic episodes to get in the mood. Recently, I came across a reader’s question about which episodes to watch in preparation for this year’s movie. I couldn’t help but dive into the recommendations provided by fellow fans. They’ve curated quite the list, and I must say, some of these episodes are absolute gems!
My Favorites from the List
First up, let’s talk about 劇場版『14番目の標的』. This movie is a must-watch for any Conan enthusiast. The tension and the mind-boggling twists really set the stage for what’s to come in the new film. I remember watching it for the first time — I was so engrossed that I didn’t even notice I had finished an entire bag of popcorn. Then there’s おしりのマークを探せ！ (Episodes 346-347). This two-parter is hilarious and showcases some of the best comedic moments in the series. I distinctly recall the laugh-out-loud scene where Conan and his friends get caught up in a ridiculous chase. It’s those light-hearted interludes that remind us why we love Conan so much. Moving on, 死亡の館、赤い壁 (Episodes 558-561) is another standout. The suspense in this arc is palpable. I found myself on the edge of my seat, and I may have even yelled at my screen a couple of times. Those moments when you feel so invested in the characters are what make anime so special.
Building Anticipation
Now, if you’re looking for a deeper dive, 劇場版『ゼロの執行人』 is essential viewing. The intricate plot and the character development are top-notch. I remember discussing it with my friends afterward, debating the motivations behind each character’s actions. It sparked some lively conversations, and, of course, some friendly arguments! I also can’t overlook アニメ『警察学校編』. Watching this series was a delightful surprise for me. It provided context and backstory for some of my favorite characters. I was so invested that I ended up binge-watching the entire thing in one weekend — not the best decision when you have a paper due, but hey, priorities, right?
