Upcoming Detective Conan Movie Airings on Friday Roadshow: What to Expect Before April’s Release

Reader’s Question:
I believe there will be a couple of past Conan movies aired on Friday Roadshow before the release of the new film in April. Which ones do you think they will show? I’m pretty sure “The Fourteenth Target” will definitely be one of them.

Anticipating the Next Conan Movie Airings


As a legal expert, I often find myself delving into the intricate world of laws and regulations, but every now and then, I relish a chance to unwind with a good movie or a beloved series. Recently, I’ve been swept up in discussions about the upcoming airing of past “Detective Conan” movies on Friday Roadshow, especially as fans speculate about which films will grace our screens before the new release in April. One name that consistently comes up is “The Fourteenth Target”—a classic that holds a special place in many fans’ hearts. The excitement surrounding these airings is palpable, and it reminds me of those evenings spent huddled around the TV with friends, snacking on popcorn and debating the various plot twists. Oh, the nostalgia!

My Thoughts on Potential Airings

Reflecting on the comments from other fans, like the user who suggested “100 Million Dollar’s Five-Point Star,” I can’t help but agree that it feels almost certain we’ll see it. It’s such a staple of the franchise that it’s hard to imagine a Conan movie night without it. However, the second film is where I find myself mulling over possibilities. The mention of “Silence of the 15 Minutes” due to its snowy backdrop is intriguing, and it’s a clever connection. But, as another user pointed out, it would be a bit odd to base the line-up solely on a thematic connection. There’s something about the anticipation of seeing unexpected choices that adds to the thrill of movie nights. I do wonder, however, about the general trend of fewer non-Ghibli Japanese animated films being aired lately. It’s a curious shift, and it makes me think back to how these movie nights were once a staple for showcasing a variety of animated films. It makes one ponder whether networks like NTV are pivoting entirely, focusing more on newer titles in dedicated anime slots rather than on classics in prime time. It’s a bit like arriving at a party too early, isn’t it? You want to be there for the fun, but it feels like you’re missing out on the main event if too much time passes. I often find myself indulging in too many snacks while I wait, hoping the main feature will be worth the wait.

What I Hope to See

As for what I personally hope to see, I would love to catch “The Conspiracy Above the Horizon.” I know it’s not the most popular choice, but there’s something about its storyline that resonates with me. It’s like the underdog of the series. And who knows? Maybe NTV will surprise us with a teaser for the upcoming release by showing a glimpse of “The Black Organization’s Pursuit.” That would certainly spark some excitement! In the end, whether we see just one film or a couple, I’m looking forward to those cozy movie nights. It’s an opportunity to bond with fellow fans and relive those classic moments that have kept us hooked for years. So, what do you think? What movies do you hope will air? Have you had any memorable movie nights with friends or family over the years? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!
