Meitantei Conan Movie 23: Konjou no Fist

Detective Conan, a masterpiece. I've been watching this anime for more than 12 years. Every single movie has an outstanding story as well as the animation. This particular one was very well put out. I would 100% recommend it. I'm sure you will enjoy it as well, although I don't like many many animes this one is one that I will never dislike. I have been waiting for Katou Kid to appear once again, and this was a nice appearance. So much suspense and makes you jump out of excitement. You also start to suspect everyone but of course it'll always be the one ... you never would have thought it would be. Enjoyed this movie a lot. Hopefully you guys will too!Overall great movie!

Hey there folks!
What we have here is another really well done Detective Conan movie, oriented more towards action and suspense, plus some super powers at the end there for Makoto going SSJ, but not something we didn't see before in this series, let's call it lore friendly.
The only thing that was out for the entire movie was the mystery, it was clear as day who was the culprit from the first minutes of the show, but it didn't matter so much, the all idea was to show how they will catch him.
One thing I really liked about this movie is how Conan and Kid ... interacted, even if they are rivals, the synergy was perfect, they complemented each other when it needed.
Another point I would like to address is when Conan explained to Kid how the murders occurred, like using some kind of hologram, the whole scene was something I would like to see in the TV Series as well.
PS: The only mystery in the end is how no one noticed that the Arthur is Conan, he is exactly the same just that he is a little browner.

After seeing the movie, I can imagine the writer of the movie was once standing at the bottom of sands hotel looking at how the rooftop looked like a boat and thought of himself "hmm, maybe I can destroy this building for the climax and have the rooftop fall to the river and float like a boat"

but anyways, I loved the story and how kitou kid is also present but they killed physics WAAAYYY TOO MUCH. (fkng roof of the hotel wasn't even pushed but it hovered conveniently to the river) and the super saiyan powerup thing is too much for an exaggeration.

Detective Conan Movies Rewatch Before Watching Movie 26: Movie 23

Of all the movies that I thought needed more run time, this one needed it the most. Movie 23 finally introduced our beloved cast in a new country: Singapore. Kaito Kid is back, and this time used in an intriguing case. In addition, the movie finally decided to focus on Sonoko for once, this time alongside Makoto Kyogoku, both of whom are somewhat under-focused in the main series.

The movie automatically gets a bump up for utilizing a different country as the setting, as DC fans naturally do not see Conan traveling internationally. In addition to the ... freshness of the setting, the movie was gorgeous. The animation was generally excellent, and some of the shots were very pretty to watch. The BGM was good (as it has been over the past couple of movies). Character interactions were great to watch, as Kid and Conan's partnership shines throughout the movie. The antagonist this time was creepy, and the victims were presented in a jarring, memorable way.

However, the movie wasn't as smooth as the previous movies in terms of storytelling. As stated, this movie really could have used at least 30 minutes to fully develop some of the plot points, as some were simply presented in your face without thought, and it was difficult to follow some of the developments even upon a rewatch. In addition, they could have done more with Sonoko and Makoto's relationship with additional air time. Unfortunately, Conan movies are bounded by their two-hour limit.

Overall, movie 23 was still enjoyable to watch, but some issues prevented it from being an excellent movie. 7/10

IT WAS SO RIDICULOUS THERE WAS EVERY SINGLE DETECTIVE CONAN CLICHE THAT YOU COULD THINK OF, BETWEEN RAN NOT RECOGNIZING SHINICHI, SONOKO'S BOYFRIEND GOING FULL UBER HUMAN MODE AND OTHER STUFF IT WAS PEAK CONAN COMEDY. I recommand it to every Conan fans who want to turn off their brain and have a good laugh. Oh and there is some cool character development at some point in the story. Overall it was a very cool movie, I don't really care about the story, same Conan stuff as always, blablabla case, Conan solving the mystery throughout the movie, other characters interact and blablabla.
