Reader’s Question:
I’ve watched all the Detective Conan movies, but I haven’t read the manga, and I only catch the anime when it’s being re-broadcast. I’ve noticed that the recent movies seem to have plot points that could impact the anime. Are these movies following the storyline of the anime and
manga properly? I remember that the older movies felt more like original stories, but did they always stick to the original source material?
Detective Conan: Movies vs. Manga
You know, I’ve been on quite the journey with Detective Conan. It all started years ago when I stumbled upon the anime during a lazy Saturday afternoon. I was hooked! The blend of mystery and comedy reminded me of those late-night stand-up routines I adore. But here’s the kicker: I’ve never read the manga. I know, I know! It feels like I’m missing out on a whole other dimension of the story. Recently, I’ve noticed the movies have been feeling more interconnected with the anime and manga, especially the newer ones. It’s like they’re weaving the plot points together in a way that makes me wonder if I should dive into the manga to catch those nuances. I’ve had friends tell me that the older movies were primarily original stories, and it seems like they were right. The user’s comment about “seikimatsu no majutsushi” catching my interest—like, the clash between Shinichi and Kaito was originally based on an anime episode? That’s a surprising twist! Speaking of surprises, I had this hilarious moment when I was watching one of the recent movies. There’s this scene where Conan is trying to outsmart the villain, and I found myself laughing so hard that I knocked over my bowl of popcorn. It went everywhere! My kid thought it was the funniest thing ever and started imitating Conan’s detective poses. It was one of those moments where you realize that even in the chaos, the joy of shared laughter is what makes it special. And then there’s the user’s mention of “ijigen no snipe” and the connection to the “Hiiro series.” It makes me think about how interconnected these stories are and how reading the manga could really enhance my understanding. Maybe I should set aside some time to dive into the manga—especially since there are references that tie back to the anime I love so much. So, here’s my thought: if you’re like me, experiencing Detective Conan primarily through the anime, maybe consider picking up the manga. I mean, what’s a few extra volumes to add to the collection? Plus, it’ll give you that deeper layer of understanding and connection to the characters and their stories. I’d love to hear from you! Have any of you experienced that moment where a movie or show made you want to read the original source material? Or maybe you have a favorite Detective Conan moment that made you laugh out loud?
