Reader’s Question:
I’m really interested in watching all the Conan anime and movies, but I’m not sure about the order in which to watch them. I know I should start with the anime from episode one, but I’m confused about where the movies fit in between the episodes. Can someone please
tell me the correct chronological order to watch everything?
Getting into the World of Conan: A Journey of Mystery and Laughter
Ah, the world of Detective Conan! It’s like diving into a treasure chest filled with mysteries, laughter, and just a sprinkle of nostalgia. I remember when I first started watching it—sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn (okay, maybe two bowls), completely absorbed in the clever plots and witty banter. There’s something about Conan’s adventures that feels like coming home, especially with his quirky friends and all the twists that keep you guessing. Now, I get it. Starting from episode one and figuring out where the movies fit can be a bit overwhelming. It can feel like trying to solve a mystery yourself! But let me tell you, the journey is absolutely worth it. When I started, I followed advice similar to what our friend suggested. It’s a bit of a puzzle, but once you get the hang of it, it flows beautifully!
My Experience with Conan’s Order
I decided to start from the very beginning, just like our friend mentioned. I powered through the first 54 episodes, and honestly, each episode was like an appetizer, setting the stage for the grand meal ahead. The moment I hit that first movie, “Clock Tower of the Sky,” it felt surreal! Watching it right after those initial episodes, I could really appreciate the characters’ development and the stakes involved. What’s funny is that I got so wrapped up in the excitement of the first movie that I almost forgot to go back to the episodes. I was like a kid in a candy store, and trust me, I indulged a bit too much in those snacks while watching! As I continued, I loved how the movies interwove with the episodes. The advice our friend gave about watching the pre-story episodes before the 17th movie, “The Private Eyes’ Requiem,” was a game changer for me. It was like getting a backstage pass to understand the characters’ motivations and the story’s background. I remember laughing out loud when Conan pulled off one of his classic moves, and it felt even more special having watched the lead-up.
Finding Your Own Rhythm
Now, I know everyone has their own pace, and that’s part of the fun! Maybe you like to binge-watch a bunch of episodes in one go, or perhaps you prefer to savor them slowly, like a fine wine. I’ve been there, too—arriving early to a movie premiere only to dive into a mountain of snacks in the theater, trying to keep myself from exploding with excitement. So, whether you decide to follow the chronological order or just pick episodes and movies that catch your eye, just enjoy the ride. The blend of humor and mystery is what makes Conan so captivating. And who knows? You might discover your own favorite characters or plots along the way. I’d love to hear your experiences! Have you watched Conan in order? What’s your favorite movie or episode?
