SynopsisKaito Kuroba, a normal teenage student whose father is often absent for vaguely defined reasons. When his father dies under mysterious circumstances, he is made aware of his father's secret identity; a famous international criminal known as International Criminal 1412: the Phantom Thief, and that he was murdered by a mysterious organization for refusing to aid them in retrieving the "Pandora Gem"; a mystical stone said to shed a "tear" during the passing of a particular comet, the consumption of which bestows immortality. He vows to prevent the organization from gaining immortality, and assumes his father's identity as he begins his quest for the gem. His only clues as to the gem's location are that it glows red under the full moon and that it is a doublet: a gem hidden within a larger gem. Thus, it would have to be a relatively large one with a bizarre history, and always stored in a place that never receives moonlight. He thus researches and steals famous priceless gems with odd histories from incredibly well-defended areas, and always returns them after the very next full moon.

This anime special is an excellent addition to the Detective Conan universe. As a fan of Detective Conan, I enjoyed this in-depth look into the workings of Kaito Kid. It really explains, sort of, why he is the way he is and the reasons for him choosing this path. Unfortunately only one episode has been released so I can't say if the story will be as engaging as Detective Conan, but it looks promising.
The artwork is excellent, in my opinion, and the characters are promising if you haven't already read the manga. I feel any Detective Conan fan will really enjoy this expansion should it continue, which I hope it does. It really does open up a new direction for everyone to enjoy.

It's a work of art!
There's a reason why this Ova has a higher rating than the original series. Detective Conan is great but it lacks the flair that only KAITOU KID can do. DC is based on murders and crimes but this OVA is more on the background of our favorite thief. We get to know the makings of KAITOU.
Story 9/10
It's beautiful, it's intriguing and it leaves you laughing or awing. The story of a Thief who hunts down the truth. It's simple but his life is complicated. Just like a roller coaster (watch it and you'll be drawn in)
Art 9/10
It was a great change from DC original animation. A lot flashier and smoother. I say that it fits the show well. The only thing that bugs me was that how much they resemble Shinchi and Ran but they are quite different. Just recognize that Kaito and Aoko have spiky hair while the DC leads have straight hair.
Sound 9/10
The soundtracks were great and matched each moment well. Nothing more to say here.
Character 10/10
This is the gem of the show. The characters like DC were well made and covered almost everything. For an OVA, it brings out their personality well. Kaito with his Kookiness and magic while Aoko is always supporting her father and etc. I got attached to the cast quickly and you can't hate them at all. Every character has a part in the story.
Enjoyment 10/10
I enjoyed it greatly.
Overall 10/10
Go watch DC first then go to Magic Kaito. I mean DC has Kaito too but then Magic Kaito gives us a glimpse of his life

These two anime are written by the same person and take place in the same universe. Detective Conan is technically a spin-off of Magic Kaito, but has upwards of 600 episodes while Magic Kaito has 5 (so far). Kaito Kid makes frequent appearances in Detective Conan, only one of which are shared between the two series (this so far is only in the Magic Kaito manga, as the anime has not yet reached that point).
You watch one, you should really watch the other. Very realistic anime. Detective Conan is mystery crime-solving. Magic Kaito is art of stealing. All is possible because there is only one truth.
