Apocalyptic Phantom

I LOVE this series! It's my favorite anime and manga! I just love the atmosphere and vibe of it and getting to try and solve the mysteries. I don't think that the episodes can be considered filler, that's just what the show is about. Yes there is a main story which I'm very interested in but the main portion of the show is just about solving mysteries. I'm really happy that its such a long series because I never want to stop reading/watching! I don't mind that there are a lot of similarities between the manga and the anime because both are still a different experience for me and it makes me happy that they stick to Gosho Aoyama's original ideas, there are too many anime that go off in a completely different direction. I never get tired of this show and I don't think it needs to move any faster. cat_mrgreen
There are so many chapters/episodes that sometimes I think we fans are prone to forgetting how difficult it is to write good mysteries. Sure the overall story is moving at a sometimes painful snail pace, but when you think about it, it's also amazing that one man could come up with that much carefully thought out content for all these years. Really, how many ways can one think to tell a murder story? wink

I'm not gonna deny that, but you can't deny that they have a lot of filler that has nothing to do with the main story, either. It's kind'f hard to watch, imo.

It's episodic in nature. You're not supposed to watch this for the plot.
I didn't say that. But when the MAJORITY of it just just filler, there's a problem.

There are plenty of shows that are episodic in nature that don't even draw out things like Conan does.

It's not filler, though.
It really is.

Filler is filler. Stuff that's there just to fill status quo.

Not really. Just compare it to Doctor Who if you're British. Like I said, this was never meant to be a plot heavy show. That's more of a bonus for people who watched it since the beginning. Most of the charm comes from feeling smart for figuring out who the criminal of the week is before he's revealed.


I agree, it isn't filler. Though I think the main story is very interesting and I want to know what happens I feel like that is secondary to the mystery solving aspect of the anime. Aoyama makes a lot of references to Sherlock Holmes and other mystery series', if you have ever read Holmes its apparent that Aoyama was going for the same sort of thing. Though Conan Doyle wrote a few novels the majority of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of short stories which are, for the most part, do not have interconnected plot lines. The only thing that ties most of these stories together are the characters, just like in Detective Conan. Each story is separate from the next and each time there is a new mystery to solve. If you're only in it for the main plot then Detective Conan probably isn't your show, it isn't for everyone.
I love Case Closed! It's awesome

I rather enjoy both series and I am glad that Detective Conon is running strong.
I haven't seen Detective Conan yet, but I love Magic Kaito. heart I think his specials are so fun, and he's a great character, even though I'd hate him in real life. I guess that is kind of strange... sweatdrop

I like the show, but honestly, it's over 500 episode, still on-going, and a lot of it is filler. Robot blood and just, ugh.

I really wish they just rapped it up. There's a time when things need to stop.


Some of those fillers has a few clues to the black Org. Boss!
I'm not gonna deny that, but you can't deny that they have a lot of filler that has nothing to do with the main story, either. It's kind'f hard to watch, imo.

It's episodic in nature. You're not supposed to watch this for the plot.
I didn't say that. But when the MAJORITY of it just just filler, there's a problem.

There are plenty of shows that are episodic in nature that don't even draw out things like Conan does.

They drag out the cases over several episodes even though it doesn't even need that many. They do this by recapping the episode during the same episode. (Like something happens in the beginning of the episode and they recap it again in the middle of the episode, and then again at the end). I think this is the only thing I dislike about it though, I don't mind filler episodes.
