(Anonymous) 2022-10-19 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)Thanks both for your response! I sorta expected only people who grew up with it to comment, and it's definitely different, like I can't imagine myself being particularly interested in what Mickey Mouse or The Smurfs are up to these data, I get it.
I'm so struck by the quality of the writing though - obviously there's a campness baked in, but not more so than things like Miss Marple or Midsommer Murders (think I just outed my own nationality there) in that characters behave similarly over time, they see far too many murders to make sense, the passage of time doesn't work, head injuries never kill - but the character stuff is so consistent, I absolutely love it. There are episodes at a time which aren't terribly interesting but I just get on with my work during those ones, but then there's ones where I demand my wife come down from her office and watch immediately because they're so genuinely sweet and funny and heartfelt. You can see there's a lot of consistent creative control over it, and as an occasional writer I just find the whole thing so impressive. I previously watched and read all of One Piece as an adult who hadn't had access to it before and it was just nothing like as good in terms of raw quality.

(Anonymous) 2022-10-20 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)Your comparison with One Piece is super interesting to me, because to me it's the other way around: I find One Piece far more compelling both in terms of story beats as well as character work. One of the reasons for that is BECAUSE the story is always moving forward and the characters always growing. Which is something I miss in Detective Conan. There will be some very interesting things happening during one case and then all character growth and consequences seem to be be reset when the next story starts. (Like the elevator scene with Takagi during the bombing case - has that ever been resolved? As far as I remember that was just completely dropped.)
I will reread the series once it's finished though. I like it and I do reread some cases every now and then. Mostly the Kaito Kid stories and cases where Heiji shows up, because I'm basic like that.
