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.
