A very well-made, thought-out and well directed detective film. This inconspicuous film from the Detective Conan series can rival more than one thrilling American film. The film is suitable for longtime Conan fans as well as people who have never watched it. At the beginning of the film, we get a short explanation of the plot of the series, which will be useful for understanding the film.

Good use of comedy

Comedy in Detective Conan is always something beautiful. Similarly, in this case, we get a solid dose of humor. Starting with the classic, eternally sarcastic jokes of Haibara, Conan who looks at Kogoro as a moron because he, as usual, cannot solve the simplest logical puzzles, ending with Kogoro eating his fist (that made me laugh the most xD).

A great presentation of well-known

characters such as detective boys team, Ran or Sonoko. Of course, this brings up a lot of positive memories associated with the series. After watching this movie, I realized a bit how manipulative Conan himself is haha he literally sets everyone around without them knowing.

As always in the series of detective conan, from the very beginning, we see the main character seeing the smallest details needed to solve the case. The brilliant Conan does not disappoint us this time as well and he quickly connects the facts. As always, he embarrasses the viewer with his extraordinary perceptiveness and reasoning while being as cute as always (≧ ▽ ≦)

The animation was definitely outstanding and good.

As usual, I don’t like the CGI models in 2D animes, but they were made very well here. They didn’t look out of place or ugly. The shadows on them were made in a good and appropriate way, which is often a problem in this type of animation. Great backgrounds and landscapes showed how good detective Conan can be. Smooth animations, good transitions, generally polished drawing. All this makes the movie tense until the last moment. It’s a shame that they used real life characters in the ending instead of animations in the style of the rest of the movie, but it’s good that they had a bit more budget for these well-made animations earlier on 🙂

Soundtrack and sound effects

As always in this series, at the highest level. Good old jazz Conan never dissapoints.

As far as the plot is concerned, it’s actually a good old classic Case Closed. What can I say, if you like detective puzzles, you will probably like it, if they are boring for you, just don’t watch it like with the rest of the movies, etc. from this series.

Summary

Good old Detective Conan in a better graphic version, with as always brilliant humor and soundtrack. I recommend it to any fanatic of detective and suspenseful movies. Considering all these things, I rate this movie 8.4 / 10
