Meitantei Conan Movie 26: Kurogane no Submarine

This time's location is set in the sea near the Hachijo-jima island, Tokyo. Engineers from around the world have gathered for the full-scale operation of "Pacific Buoy," an offshore facility to connect security cameras owned by the worldwide police forces. A test of a certain "new technology" based on a face recognition system is underway there.

Meanwhile, Conan and the Detective Boys visit Hachijo-jima at Sonoko's invitation and receive a phone call from Subaru Okiya informing them that a Europol employee was murdered in Germany by the Black Organization's Jin.

Conan, who is disquieted, sneaks into the facility and finds that a female engineer has been kidnapped by the Black Organization...! Furthermore, a USB drive containing certain information in her possession ends up in the hands of the organization... A black shadow also creeps up on Ai Haibara ...

Movie 26 has been the most critically acclaimed and watched case out of all the Conan movies and... It did not disappoint!

Plenty of explosions, gun actions and Ran being a badass as always. The case itself wasn't anything special, but the trick they used was, without spoilers, ABSOLUTELY INSANE. (The next Conan's hint would be... coffee cups!)

The fact that the murder took place in the middle of the ocean + no annoying Detective Boys made the experience a lot better as there was more attention put towards the Black organization trying to find Haibara's identity (made it feel like she was the heroine of the ... show). Highly recommend watching if you like Vodka or professor Agasa as the movie dives into interesting relationships we haven't seen before.

My only major complaint were the physics in some of the scenes - made absolutely no sense but hopefully you're used to it by now...

Nothing has changed with the voice acting nor the music, but man did the intro feel awesome to watch! Art feels more modern, but no significant changes.

Overall, very decent film and a must watch if you're into any of the other Conan movies!

Detective Conan Movies Rewatch Before Watching Movie 26: Movie 26

After a long marathon of previous DC movies, I finally got to watch movie 26 in theaters, and it did not disappoint! The hype was justified.

The BO finally returned, and they were threatening throughout the movie. They set the tone from the very beginning of the movie, and that menacing atmosphere was present throughout most of the movie. The usage of the supporting characters was balanced, as all of them had moments to shine. Haibara, the movie's deuteragonist, stood out the most after Conan. Some of the recent DC movies have begun focusing more on character ... and relationships, and this movie was no different. Some of the scenes do invoke some emotions, which was aided by the great soundtrack.

The animation was great, and the action was fantastic. Conan is back doing his crazy stunts as usual, and there weren't any "meaningless" action scenes. The plot was logical and coherent. The setting, despite being in an ocean again, was utilized quite well.

There were also a few social commentaries that may or may not be intentional. Some worked, some didn't work, hence the lower-than-perfect score.

Nevertheless, movie 26 was a great action/thriller movie that should attract even non-DC fans. Conan is the Japanese Tom Cruise. 9/10

Mixed Feelings

Wow... 26 films... I was really excited to see Detective Conan Anime Film in a theather after like 28 years or something. I used to watch the tv anime on television when i was at junior high. I remember it as amazing, but the film was not that good...

I was not sure what was going on in some scenes. lol Yeah, i haven't seen the previous 25 films of Detective Conan, but i don't think that was the reason. It wasn't very believable as well... I mean some aspect of the story, like the new tecnology, face recognition system or whatever its name was... ... It was too spesific of a threat for Conan Edogawa. I would expect something more compelling from Detective Conan, but afterall i was at junior high when i was watching the show on tv so it may have never been that compelling. lol

I still like Detective Conan or the manga named The Case Closed. Conan Edogawa will always be a beloved character from my childhood.
