Detective Conan Movie 15: Quarter of Silence

I've never written a review before, simply because I'm not good at stuff like that.
But after watching this movie, I just got an urge to do it.

So, here I go:

Even though the trailer didn't get me least excited and therefore I wasn't THAT hyped, because of Movie 12's, 13's and 14's Awesomeness, this one blew me away, once again.

It had everything, I love so much about this series (except for Kaito and Heiji, but they were in Movie 14 already).
The case was very exciting, the typical humour was good and the action was thrilling.
Of course, there also was the obligatoric dosis of drama, the series and especially the movies, always got. Some may find it cheesy and that'd be fine. But it doesn't bother me.

Last but definetely not least, there was one of my most favourite things about the show, that I missed in the recent movies.: the presentation of the beautiful country and culture of Nippon (mostly country this time).
Before and even in between the cases, the series very often delievers a heartwarming, authentic and overall fascinating impression of the land of the rising sun. In my opinion, that is what makes the show so great, almost as much as the cases themselves.

The only thing I didn't like, were the 3D-Effects regarding vehicles and traffical stuff in general. It's common in anime these days and especially the Conan-Movies made use of them for a long time now.
Still I like the "old way" of animation best, were this parts also were "handmade".
The Skate- and Snowboard-Scenes were an exception though. They were fantastic. They added a lot of action and dynamic feel to the movie and were great to watch.

The finale was the cherry on the cake. It was one of the best, if not THE best in the whole series. And that is quite an accomplishment.
It was dramatic, fast paced and simply bombastic.

Bottom line it was one of the best Conan-Movies so far, even though nearly all of them, were top notch.
Every fan of the series should've watched it and most of them, should come to love it, too. read more
