Detective Conan

Today, my friend Niki from the Japanese school and I decided to reveal the true Asian-ness of ourselves and to let our adoration for this Japanese anime out to the extreme...

Aieaieaieaieaieaieaieaie! SOOO MANY CONANSSSSS! Yikes.

名探偵コナン (Detective Conan/Case Closed): Shinich Kudo, a 17-year-old high school prodigy and detective who frequently worked with the police, was attacked by two members of a mysterious crime syndicate while investigating a case regarding blackmail. He was then forced to take a newly developed experimental poison that was supposed to kill him, but due to a rase side-effect unknown to the two men, the drug transformed his body back into that of his seven-year-old self instead., after they left him for dead. In order to hide his identity and to investigate the whereabouts of the syndicate, which he later finds out to be called the Black Organization, he adopts the pseudonym Conan Edogawa. To search for leads of the syndicate, he manages to move in with his childhood friend Ran Mori, and her father Kogoro Mori, who works as a private investigator. Conan also enrolls at a Teitan elementary school and forms the Junior Detective League with three other children in his class: Ami, Mitsuhiko, and Genta. Even as Conan, Shinich continues solving criminal cases, usually posing as Kogoro Mori with the help of special gadgets, invented by his neighboor and friend, Dr. Agase. Kogoro Mori, a rather inept detective, is bewildered at the sudden rise in his case-solving abilities, but does not question this as he's more than glad about his subsequent rise in fame. Later in the series, another main character, Ai Haizaki, appears. A former member of the Black Organization, codenamed "Sherry," she is actually a woman named Shiho Miyano, a gifted chemist who developed the poison APTX 4869 which turned Shinich back into a child. After her sister was brutally murdered by members of the Black Organization, she tried to get out and was held captive; she then attempted to commit suicide by taking a dose of the poison, but instead was transformed into a child as well, and managed to escape from them. She then enrolled in Conan's school under the pseudonym. She knows Conan's true identity and helps him in his quest to bring down the Black Organization.

There are 13 feature films based on the Case Closed series! We watched 4 of them today... Oy.
