They both need to find criminals and murders happen in every cases much like death note but real culprits :D! 

report Recommended by Xfire

Both series are filled with mind battles, cat and mouse games, psychological battles, and thier main focus is on a  detective trying to put the clues together to capture a criminal. Although neither anime focuses on action, their fast paced deductions,  and dramatic scenes will put any action series to shame, as both shows have the punch of an action show, and the intellegence of a character drama (You will feel like your watchign some fast paced action show, although action isn't really present in either show). Both are smart well written series, with very interesting characters. L and Jimmy Kudo (Shinichi Kudo) are two of the smartest detective in all of anime and very similur. The cat and mouse game between L and Light is very suspenseful and thrilling, and the same for Jimmy's cat and mouse game with the many criminals. And Jimmy's endless serach for the Men in Black that streches the series lenght is very similur to L fighting Light. It's all very engaging. 

The difference is Case Closed is episodic with bits of overarching plot seeping in every once in awhile, while Death Note has a few archs, but overall is one story from start to finish. read more

Mind battles, detectives, murders, crimes, police, geniuses, suspense, strategies.
Not to mention that Takagi and Matsuda are so similar it hurts.
Detective Conan has more typycal shounen elements, and is not as psychological neither as good as Death Note, and is much longer than the latter.

Both include detective-like logic for solving cases. Death note is like a cat and mouse game with L hunting down Light trying to get him arrested for using the death note. Conan has less storyline because it has more cases than one.

Epic Battles of minds, except DC gives you a new challenger every season or so. If you like strategy, suspense, and complex human relationships, either Death Note, or DC work for you.

I'm sure many of you out there have seen the great hit Death Note, but may have glanced over Detective Conan or "Case Closed." Or maybe even the other way around! Both shows share the value of intelligence, cunning, planning, and deducing the actions of others. Both forged with great storylines, they are really deserve a good watch. The main differences are that Death Note is a bit "darker" both in color and in terms of death, while Case Closed is a much longer series with a little worse artwork, and the plot of each individual episode is what's important while the plot of the series as a whole takes the backseat. If you like either of these series, or just the elements they share, I implore you to check both of them out for a good watch! read more

They are both similar in the fact that you must grind your brain to decipher Conan's latest theory, or Light's next way to outsmart L. The story in both of these animes is excellent, and really worth watching. I can't stress how much you need to watch DESU NOTO or Detective Conan. The main characters are both very intelligent, and this helps. For example, you could have a main character like Naruto, who is annoying and dim-witted, but the show itself is great.

Death Note focuses on two things: Justice and Death, Detective Conan obviously & mainly deals with Justice, but not death. Although, I could argue that Conan and L. are very similar characters who both obtain a very great desire for their viewpoint of "justice," that killing is a crime, no matter the circumstances.

The main difference between both shows is that Detective Conan is about a high school student who is really good in soccer(Football for some) and case solving, but one day gets "kidnapped" I can say by a criminal and gets tested with a certain drug which makes him younger and tries to find that criminal in that young form with his grade school friends, Tantei Gakuen Q is about a boy who gets accepted in a high class detective school, but instead of getting into class ranks (A for highest, D for lowest) he got into a special class which never happened before called "Q". read more

Both series are about mysteries/cases which are ultimately solved by the protagonist, who are both highly intelligent people who possess a keen eye for details. Most cases in Detective Conan can be solved pretty effortlessly, while in Gosick they are more difficult causing you to think more. However, no matter the level of difficulty of the cases, they're always pulled off in a unique & clever way so that even if you know who the culprit is you are still baffled as too how they managed to pull it all off in the 1st place. Also in both series, although the protagonists solve the cases all the credit goes to someone who couldn't solve a case for their life. Both series are really amazing in their own ways, so I recommend you check them both out. read more

Both are of course great mystery and detective shows. One thing I see that is kinda similar in the two series though is that Neuro basically uses Yako to solve cases in Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, and in Detective Conan, Conan uses Kogoro. So it's like both detectives use others to solve cases.

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro gives a lot more of  a supernatural feeling though, whereas Detective Conan is a pretty much straight mystery series. So that certainly gives enough difference between the two for entertainment.

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.

- Clever, mentally OP protagonists who enjoy monologuing and who are constantly surrounded by incompetent people of higher social standing.

- 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

Antagonist in each series believes he killed the protagonist, but his victim survives and wants revenge. Drama, Mystery and some Action in both series.

Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle addpermalink

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.

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.

Well the only similarity between these 2 anime is that they both turn into little kids

Master Keaton addpermalink

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.

Anime: Kijutsushi x Majutsushi: Osaka Tanteibu no Jikenbo

Kijutsushi x Majutsushi: Osaka Tanteibu no Jikenbo addpermalink

While it seems most recommendations on this site are meant to go both ways, this is more of a one-way recommendation. If you enjoyed Kijutsushi x Majutsushi, I'd consider giving the long-running Detective Conan a try. The latter may not have any sex scenes, but what it does have should be more than enough to make up for this one insufficiency. As for the similarities between these two works, there are several. Ignoring the sexual content, both are essentially about people trying to solve cases. Both have a self-proclaimed team of detectives working together. Both have characters making crazy deductions (sometimes crazy in a funny sense, other times crazy in a ridiculously smart sense). And one of the characters, the Phantom Magician, is similar to Kaito Kid, a recurring character in Conan. Really though, the big similarity is the mystery aspect. So if you liked that about Kijutsushi x Majutsushi, as mediocre as it may've been, that should be more than enough reason to consider Detective Conan. read more
