| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- No one has back-up cameras? BTW - I thought that Satou had a red sports car, not an orange one... |
| It looks like a red sports car to me though, not orange... :o Sigh, I wish Yumi can get a boyfriend... She's my favorite policewoman =/ |
| Like I said, easy peasy. |

Case File #659/#660 The Joint Investigation With A First Love  This story arc returns to the quality of manga-adapted episodes for the most parts. I also noticed that there have been far lesser "Manga to anime changes" in the newer episodes, so this faithfulness to the manga might be a good thing. Yumi has unfortunately been reduced to Sonoko's "angry and irritable woman who can't get lucky in love" stereotype that I've began to find annoying (and honestly a little disgusting if I'm to play the sexist card, even if I'm a man). But much like Sonoko, we get to see that she has a good heart and might not be that bad of a person, yada yada yada. I'm kinda tired of the show using this as an excuse to portray these women as unattractive to men. This whole stigma Japan has against independent women who aren't subservient and quiet is disgusting. Loud women are just as attractive as quiet ones. In fact, I prefer girls with an attitude. Anyway, that poor character writing doesn't take much away from the quality of the mystery. It's been a long time since we've had an emotional confession that I could care about. I especially love the social commentary here; it's not heavy-handed and fits in very well. The vague regulations in Japan against blocking the rear-window of your car is a problem that's tragically displayed in this arc, and I love how the vandal culprit is very sympathetic due to that point. Her infant child was killed in an accident due to someone blocking the rear-window of the car, and it doesn't get more tragic than the death of such a young baby motivating a mother's vengeance. The mystery itself isn't that intricate that you couldn't tell whom the culprit might be, but in this case, it needn't to be intricate. Such gradual unfolding of a foreseeable tragedy is often the high-points of many tragic cases in the show. It's effective and depressing. The title of the arc came from Chiba meeting his first love, Naeko Miike. But of course, she never gets her chance to confess and this whole thing is just a waste of time, yet another story arc to postpone the main story. You should be familiar with this trend by now. A noteworthy highlight is when Conan mentioned that he can't help but look forward to the Gomera movies that movie studios are churning out for profit. It's amusing that even an intellectual detective like him is tempted to watch such a cheesy monster fest. ★★★★ |
| Goddammit. I know I shouldn't expect any romance from this show but c'mon. |
 |
| I mistaken in my bet, the guilty was the woman!!! Chiba Inspector was near to discover "his love" but finally the love and the end was open for a future!!!1 kekeke |
| Poor Yumi tho always left alone and deliberately sabotaged the group's effort to match them but we ofc know that she''ll let them together anyway. I hope she finds her true one lol |
