Meitantei Conan: Zero no Tea Time

So I've seen some negative reviews for this one and maybe if you are going in with high expectations you'll be disappointed. But personally I feel for what it prents itself to be "Meitantei Conan: Zero no Tea Time" delivers pretty well. If you are a fan of the show "Detective Conan" and love Zero/Furuya Rei/Bourbon I highly recommend watching this special little treat. What would you expect from a series of 6 episode with each episode being short?

For me it was very interesting to get to see a little more of Furuya's daily routine and I can totally see why his character is ... so popular (well you might say I'm biased if you check my favorite characters and see him among them). Nad if I remember correctly I know there's another sequel to the series but other than that Furuya might be the only individual character who managed to get his own "spin off" even if it's releatively short (Kaito Kid doesn't really count since he existed even prior to DC and has his own big franchise).

A part of me wishes there would have been more episodes but then again I also get why they wouldn't include sensetive stuff reserved for the main series so I'll let it slide. All the characters stayed true to their nature and I loved it didn't feel like watching anything else. Furuya is very observant and talented but somehow I can't shake off the feeling that he is rather lonely. Especially after watching this.

The music is nice and fitting and the animation is very clean. Overall I'd recommend this mini-series to everyone who loves the main show and is at least fond of Furuya's character (up to this day I still don't know why I love him so much. Probably because he's a very complex character).

A pretty fun and short spin-off from the Detective Conan Series which tells about a very important character in the main series named Amuro Tooru's daily life, a chad who here he can do anything and basically he's really great and also of course he's a lot-faced person who has something to do with his work here for sure we have to know Detective Conan Series audience, maybe we should skip this one? Of course not. Why not? The point is, this story is easy to follow and it is enjoyable, what I like about it is that there is content that makes us laugh ... and at the same time we can feel a heartwarming feeling. So I recommend this to all of you Detective Conan fans and also to those of you who have just got into to the series, of course it's okay.

Meitantei Conan: Zero no Tea Time is a series of 6 short episodes (13 minutes each) about Amuro/Zero's life when Conan//Shinichi isn't involved.

The visuals are a bit inconsistent and the soundtrack is very similar to the main series'. The voice acting is pretty solid.


There isn't a plot to this short series. Take this as "fanservice" for the fans of Amuro/Zero.

If you really enjoy him as a character, you'll enjoy this a lot. If you're like me, meaning that I only enjoy Meitantei Conan because of the story surrounding the black organization, you'll find this pretty boring.

It's a 4/10 for me.
