This one?

Proceed at your own caution after 345. The series goes to hell after that. There are a few good episodes here and there, but it's never quite the same. However, if you really want to go farther, you can find a filler list for those episodes online.

Wouldn't it be faster to read the manga? You can probably blast through 700 chapters in 2-3 days or less.

>>29755468

YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Wouldnt it be better to just get a life?

>>29755493
I've read and watched most of the episodes. After about episode 40, but before episode 400, the anime is generally better. However, the early manga trumps the early anime, and the current manga trumps the current anime (too many cuts for time constraints).

Watch the superior detective instead

>>29755526
shut

>>29755707
up

Kindaichi triumphs over Konan.

He just does.

Read Neuro instead.

>>29755732

A man of my own heart

The third manga series over the summer was the pinnacle of mystery manga.

So, this thread got me interested in reading Conan and watching some mystery anime... I didn't find subs for Kindaichi and Conan is just too long, so I'll try the manga. I already read Neuro and Spiral.

Then, I found Tantei Gakuen Q.

Worth watching? Thoughts?

>>29755732
Kindaichi is the James Bond Junior of Japan. Don't ever compare it to Conan.

Or you can use this site:

So am I the only one who cares that Funi dropped the dub?

>>29755957

It's by the same authors as Kindaichi; the manga is pretty awesome but undertranslated. It's pretty much Kindaichi with a dash of moe

Try the first few mysteries (the island and Kamikushi murders)

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/detective_academy_q/

Kindaichi and most of TGQ is Scooby Doo but with serial murders

>>29756039
Unless that's a recent announcement, they didn't. They just released movie four after Christmas.

>>29756062

Oh wait, Mangafox is missing some chapters. Here:

http://www.onemanga.com/Tantei_Gakuen_Q/

>>29756062
Well, I'm looking at the anime because I saw that the manga is quite far from complete scanlations, so perhaps I'll get more closure out of the anime.

Still, that sounds good, so I guess it's worth giving it a try.

>>29756038
Except there are a few good cases that you can't find translated in anime form, and quite a few cases that are better in the manga than in the anime.

animecrazy.net


has most if not all

>>29756089

No in a video they said they will not be doing season 6.
But will finish the movies

>>29755997

>Kindaichi is the James Bond of Japan. Don't ever compare it to Conan.

Fixed

I tried this, once. Motivation died somewhere around episode 35 or something.
Think I should continue some time, though, still more fun than a lot of series.

>biannual detective conan thread
>kindaichi hijack by slack jawed shut ins
I kinda hate /a/.

who's the shut-in?

>>29756330

Meant that to be <50, haha

Most of the filler is better than the main storyline. The show is good to watch for Conan solving weird murders. If you're watching to see if he gets his body back, you're a sucker.

That being said, Gin is a badass motherfucker.

>>29756330
Moby Dick is like a thousand pages, but people who read it are generally better than people whose attention span limits them to pamphlets and magazine ads.

>>29756396
No, it isn't.

>>29756399

Kindaichi tends to have longer, better, more intriguing mysteries than Conan's half-baked "cases"

>>29756419
Conan's mysteries are far more clever and well-planned out than Kindaichi's hamfisted serial killings.

I hope us mystery fags aren't trying to tell each other who has the better story when all of our shows consist of 'incident!>>>mystery!>>>case solved!" on repeat.

>>29756466

Kindaichi's supernatural atmosphere places you right in the mystery rather than as an mere armchair puzzle solver

I marathoned up too episode 200 something, then I gave up.

>>29755480
>There are a few good episodes here and there, but it's never quite the same
Why?

>>29756512
Conan is a unique, original character, whereas Kindaichi is a dime-a-dozen Japanese shounen archetype riding the coattails of an 80-year-old franchise that was illegally infringed upon.

>>29756549

It turns into a conspiracy thing with FBI, CIA, yakuza, etc

Anybody ever wonder why they don't try to get Conan or Rachel counseling? I mean, Christ, there's a murder literally everywhere they go. And for that matter, why haven't they caught on that everything they touch dies?

Donate money to DCTP, Kienai, and AZFS.

It actually won't get them to sub faster, but it shows signs of life, to remind them that there are people who give a shit.

And I was joking about donating, that's worse than being a buyfag.

And if you wanna start watching now, that's fine, but keep a checklist handy. It would suck if you download an episode you already saw, right?

This gets updated a few days after any new release.

Marathon the motherfucker, then play the waiting game.

>>29756557

Kindaichi is an everyday character who is not immune to the violence, often getting framed or injured, while Conan is a rich brat who hides behind everyone because he's too cowardly.

>>29756598
I lol'd. Actually, an even better question would be, WHY HASN'T CONAN GROWN AN INCH? IT'S BEEN OVER TEN YEARS

>>29756598
>>Rachel

Know that I hate you.

>>29756636

He's also got the body of a prepubescent boy and the authority and man power to match.

>>29756549
Because up to episode 345, everything was planned out like an intricate tapestry. Each case consists of a murder with three different suspects. However, the author wrote a background case into the story that was going on for like seven years. So, you'd still have weekly cases, but in the background there was this giant, over arcing mystery with three suspects.

The problem was that, when things came to a head and the author played all his cards, he was left with nothing. No more mysteries, no more Chekhov's guns, no more ambiguous side characters. And instead of ending the series there and going out with a bang, he decided that he likes money, so he started again from scratch.

AND TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE, he didn't even start planning to out do himself. What he does now is pretty much introduce "mysterious new characters" then, instead of biding his time and building suspension, he reveals who they are within months.

>>29756655
Hey, it's a good dub.

>>29756655

I couldn't recall her real name off the top of my head. Been a while since I've seen Conan.

>>29756637
Simpsons did it first

>>29756679

It's an insulting dub. It really expects us to believe the show takes place in America.

Sure are a lot of tatami mats and deer chasers in America lately, huh?

Though I guess it's not much worse than all those European castles in Japan in show.

>>29756665

What? 345 was EPIC, and it had been built up to rather well.

>>29756717

So? You the viewer relize its not america. Hell i didnt even know they established that in the anime

>>29756766

They're always talking about it. They even say that Osaka is Canada when they go to visit Heiji... oh, sorry, Harley.

Funimation has tons of shows that take place in Japan that they didn't change to take place anywhere else. This is worse than Sailor Moon, which at least acknowledged it was in Tokyo.

>>29756762
. . . that's the damn point.

everything before 345: good

everything after 345: mediocre to downright bad

>>29756805

Well, granted, I haven't seen much of the show since. It doesn't get that good again? Damn.

>>29756717
Though for the most part, they've been able to edit riddles that only make sense in Japanese into new riddles that westerners can understand.

But there were a few times where they got lazy and just went with the Japanese one. Like in the first movie, they didn't take any liberties with the script and kept the victim's dying message as Japanese. They explained that the victim was a weeaboo, which is why his dying message was a Japanese riddle.
