| It's difficult to compare Death Note and Kindaichi because they are extremely different in genre, even though they feature genius as protagonist/antagonist. Kindaichi is basically a who-dun-it manga/anime, the reason why this is good because it's not suppose to be treated like any anime. At every end of the episode, Kindaichi will prompts the audience ' Can you solve this mystery? The murderer lies in the midst of these people... '. Clues are given in manga panels, somethings a little subtle, and the readers will be encouraged to form their own conjunction on who's the murderer and how he did it. It's a tremendous success in Japan back in the 90s and that wave hits South-East Asia, especially the chinese-speaking countries. I, for one, had read every single volume out there translated in my country in chinese, that's because I'm such a big fan. Beside, Kindaichi evoke a lot of emotions than the rest of the murder-mystery series. Great Music Indeed! |
| DCTP is subbing the Detective Conan VS Kindaichi game (I think its VN) And Death Note...? it's just the hyping that makes it seem like it's somehow popular. It's basically like watching Opening for 1st 15 episodes wondering when the hell will it begin and then it's at a point of no return and the storyline is weaker than Fairy Tail's filler arc's I used to love Death Note now years later not so much after I really got back into DC. DN not even Mystery genre anyway. |
| In terms of uniqueness in story, Detective Conan has it beat with a child doing the deductions. I think the main thing is that it's not subbed(they are subbing slowly) but only like 20 something episodes out of the 120 something are actually subbed, which of course could be because of popularity. I don't think it will ever pass Death Note in popularity or in rank, that's just how the people on this site are. I would love to watch it fully and spread the word of it's greatness. But not knowing what has happened in a whole like 7/8ths of the story stops me. |

Otaking87 said: I know he does, I am just saying that part of the draw to the series is that he looks like a kid but solves mysteries. There is no other show that does that, but in Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo he is a high schooler who solves mysteries, there are a lot of anime with the main character being a high schooler. And a couple of shows where the main character is in high school and solves mysteries, that are a lot smaller, so probably easier to sub.IntroverTurtle said: In terms of uniqueness in story, Detective Conan has it beat with a child doing the deductions.

| I watched the first 3 episodes some years ago and really liked them, but when I found out only a fraction of the show was subbed I put it On-Hold indefinitely :( Maybe on of those days years decades it will be fully subbed. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
HiNT74 said: Yeah it's only subbed to episode 20 which is a pity. No, it's to episode 72. |
mayukachan said: HiNT74 said: Yeah it's only subbed to episode 20 which is a pity. No, it's to episode 72. Must only be recently. It's been at 20 for the longest time. Which group picked it back up? |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| It's almost criminal how underrated it is. |

| 73rd episode subbed now lol |
| This show isn't rated as high as death note because death note aired on adult swim and has a fairly good dub. That and death note is perceived as mature. |

CallMeIta said: I was enjoying this so much, but after researching, I realized that very few episodes have been subbed, and after watching 21-36, I decided enough was enough. The subbing was just too bad. |

| i really enjoy my dub more than conan too bad western only know such medicore mystery with only great BO storyline name detective conan. |
| Because its animated by TOEI, have it been madhouse people will wank on it. |
 |
| yeah for once you are correct, sad to see Kindaichi so underrated. |

| No one has even seen original series with subs 100%, because latest episode with sub is 101 (+ including 104), rest is still raw. I just started this a while ago, and I'm very sad already because of fan sub state :( |
