Both are about young dectives who solve many different cases. While Conan is looking for the people who shrunk him, the Kids in Tantei Gakuen Q are working for a goal and to defeat Pluto... a great series if you like detective shows.

Both deal with crime in some way. Furthermore these anime are related; they are by the same author. Kaito Kid also makes many appearances in Detective Conan.

There both about mystery and detective related. The main characters are detectives, or they work for them.

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo is one of those anime that seems to be forgotten in the mainstream of things. It is precursary to works like Detective Conan. They show a nice progression of the detective genre over in Japanese Anime/Manga.

It really reminds me alot of Detective Conan Anime.
Especially in solving thoes Cases.
The most cases get solved by a Detective (in Detective Conan)
and here in "Gyakuten Saiban" the cases get solved by an attorney.

Both animes future brilliant detectives, that use their "gray cells" to solve criminal cases!

Has a mystery feel to it and both are about finding culprits in murders and other situations 

report Recommended by Zephys

Bot these shows have a great mystery set up. They both have smart, but physically restraint heros. Conan has a deeper story and better mysteries, but Kamisama is a fun watch bringing more personality to the characters at times. kamisama's mysteries arent as deep and difficult as conan's but that can also work to its advantage because you feel like you can "win" more often watching it as well. If you dont mind the loli and schoolgirl like giddyness, kamisama is a great show for anyone craving more mysteries.

both of these anime are about solving mysteries and there's romance between the female main character and the male main character
the difference between the two is that detective conan is more based on logic and more "real" and psychic detective yakumo is more based on supernatural reasoning
there's suspense in both animes and both are worth watching
if you like on then you'll like the other
you'll fall in love with both the main characters personality and theres no annoying side characters in both animes

The protagonist Shinichi Kudō, chooses the pseudonym "Conan Edogawa" taking parts of the names of the detective novelists Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa Ranpo. And Ranpo Kitan is inspired by the works of author Edogawa Ranpo. Therefore, both are mysteries and detectives anime.

Both Anime are of the detective genre with a sort of supernatural twist to them, if you are so inclined.

The Domain of Murder OVA is very much like the Detective Conan TV series. Both are about detectives, who solve cases, and the mystery plays an important role. Domain of Murder is a one shot OVA of a manga series, while Detective Conan is the extremely popular anime of the even more popular manga series, that's nothing short of a phenomena in Japan (not so much in the U.S.). Both Domain of Murder and Detective Conan deal with realstic mysteries, that usually involve murders. Both animes have great characters. There are some differences however, like how Domain of Murder is pure seinen, while Detective Conan is a show made for everyone (not childish or anything though). Domain of Murder is more mature, and only a short almost unknown OVA (and a Live Action Movie), while Conan has multiple movies, OVA's, a live action drama series, and a TV anime that's well over 530 episodes. The animation in both Detective Conan and Domain of Murder are similur, but the character designs are very different. Also Detective Conan is more upbeat. If you like one of these, check out the other one. read more

Both series deal about grown-up characters turn into little kids. Both Loki and Conan, work as detectives since they have the minds of adults. The major difference is that the first is a demon god while the latter is a high school student.

Milky Holmes pokes fun of the classic type of mystery that shows up in Detective Conan series. The original Sherlock is also mentioned at times.

- both are detective genre
- both involve a detective agency
- both protagonists are staying in a detective agency
- one of the characters share the same first name (Edogawa Ranpo , Edogawa Conan)
- same kind of drama x comedy.
- The main protagonists can kinda transform.. Atsushi can turn into a tiger, and Cona/Shinichi can turn into a child (but with some kind of a drug)
- I love both series !

Both Detective Conan and Ghost Hunt revolve around solving mysteries. While the mysteries are much different, Detective Conan revolving around murder, and Ghost Hunt revolving around ghosts and spirits, both are quite enjoyable.

Very similar.

-Relationship between Aoko and Kaito is similar to Ran and Shinichi although Ran and Shinichi is more bittersweet.
-Conan and Kaito (known as the Phantom Thief) may appear in both series from time to time.
-Kaito and Conan have similar brains (they never fail to amaze you)
-The MCs like Shinichi/Kaito and Aoko/Ran look very similar to each other.

Differences:
-Conan is more mysterious because only a few people know who he really is and prevents others from knowing at all costs.
-Ran and Shinichi's Relationship is more bittersweet but eventually, it will become better.

That's all I can think of because they are too similar in detail. Also, the series can make you so desperate especially to all Romance lovers out there (I talk with experience). P.S Aoko barely, rarely, shows up in Detective Conan/Case Closed  read more

- Clever, mentally OP protagonists who enjoy monologuing and who are constantly surrounded by incompetent people of higher social standing.
- Lots of mystery, strategising, and pulling random perfect solutions out of hats.
- Some efforts were made in both shows to give depth to the characters; similarly poor outcomes result from those efforts. Conan is more inconsistent with the amount of effort put in as a result of airing continuously for over two decades.
- Fun shows for trying to solve the murder mystery/optimal battle strategy before the characters.
- Everything is explained extremely clearly, to the death (pun intended).

Both are good shows if you have difficulty reading subtext and/or want to feel superior to the brainless masses who can't possibly understand your hidden genius and complexity. For the rest of us, there's actually very little intrigue considering one's a show about political intrigue and the other about supposedly intriguing murders, but they are enjoyable shows none the less if only for the deadpan reaction faces and moments of unintentional humour. read more

Small children solving small mysteries! The Detective Boys episodes in Conan where the gang of three boys and one (sometimes two) girl(s) go around solving things is very similar to the set-up of Tantei Team. Conan deals with more crimes where in reality it would actually be deeply inappropriate for grade-schoolers to be meddling in though, like murders.

Both shows feature small children playing football/soccer.

Similiar ideas, solving a case about murders and killers, there are intelligent characters who can solve the case!!!

The two have a lot of mention of different alcoholic beverages. Also, Ryu Sasakura (Bartender) is a very observant and able to take deductions of any detail as many characters in Detective Conan person. Both are professional enough credits.

Though Haruchika and Detective Conan differ in terms of setting (HaruChika focuses on school and clubs while detective conan has a broader aspect), they are closely the same when it comes to the mystery genre. The first episode of Haruchika displays an interesting mystery puzzle that needs critical thinking and analysis, the same as the anime, Detective Conan did. Haruchika and Detective Conan are anime for those people who likes logic and riddle.

Both series provide an unlikely hero doing the work of an adult and surprising all those involved. Also, Kindaichi, like Detective Conan (Case Closed), has a certain amount of comic relief incorporated into it. Anyone who loves Conan will enjoy The Kindaichi Case Files.

both are about solving mysteries and bringing down organization. detective conan is more based on deductions and facts and yakushiji is more supernatural. they both have some romance in it and are full with suspense and some comical moments. highy recommend seeing both of these animes, they re story are different so theres no feelings of repetition but if you like watching one you will like the other

Both characters try to find the thing they need in order to be not in danger. Kobato needs to find these little star thingies while Conan tries to find evidence to get the suspect. Both are really good shows.

While 'Master Keaton' is not exactly a detective anime (some episodes may be thriller, action or slice of life), Keaton works as an insurance investigator for Lloyd's and frequently has to solve cases for his clients. 'Detective Conan' is an example of a classic detective and is much more deduction-oriented. Both shows can be recommended to mystery lovers, but at the same time they both feature strong non-detective storylines.

Both Detective Conan and St. Luminous Mission High School happen to be mystery based, though the second is more supernatural while the first is more detective based. They also have twists to the plot line that no one expects.

Phi Brain is like Detective Conan, but without the whole teen-turns-into-child plot going on. Kaito is Shinichi. Nonoha is Ran. The side characters are pretty similar too. Like the other person said, there's a secret organization out to get the main character and his friends, so the main characters go out and solve puzzles or solve murder mysteries. A very similar feel even if the animes are a decade apart.

Detective Conan (Case Closed) is simular to CLAMP because both of the animes are about child detectives........ in detective conan the main character Edgawa, Conan is actually a teenage detective who, by certain circumstances, was reverted back into his child form. CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan is about a group of middle school detectives who, like Edgawa, Conan from Case Closed, solve crimes/mysteries

They both star a kid detective, except that this series takes place in a London-esque town that is also powered by steam. Both shows were animated in the mid-to-late 90's, so if you like traditional cel painted animation (that still manages to hold up) I highly recommend it!

It could also be a great gateway anime for comic book fans, as the villains in this series wear costumes to conceal their true identities.

The main characters are both turned back into their younger selves from a drug. Detective Conan has 800+ episodes and focuses more on solving crimes. But just like in ReLIFE, adapting to a new life as a younger version of yourself is part of the plot.
