Meitantei Conan Movie 01: Tokei Jikake no Matenrou

The first movie of the Detective Conan series.

Let me fill you in on the story, Conan (Shinichi) has to find a mad bomber, who's been setting fire to buildings and blowing up other things. Bomb after bomb, Conan finds his way to the criminal, but there's always a parting gift from the villian's.

The story is pretty basic, but it's enjoyable, it's well organized and done pretty simple, yet impressive, the "final touch" was brilliant. Expect some anti-climax...es here. It suprised me at least.

The art is very good, it's the same ol' Conan style, yet it's been animated pretty good, hope this will be getting better ... with each movie.

We still have the same ol' cast, introduced with 2 new characters, the villian and a police officer, the characters that are always in Conan are still the same, so good. Mouri's desperate love for Ran was done pretty well to if I have to say it. The villian is this bad-ass rich ugly person, which is almost standard, the meaning behind his terroristic attacks are unbelievable stupid, but maybe it's just the way "they" (the job he performs) think. The police officer is cool too, pretty plain guy, but he's not the guy he seems to be.

Overall a good sound, though I give it a lower point since I still don't agree on Det.Mouri's voice-actor.

Highly enjoyable movie, if you like or if you don't like Conan. Beautifully animated, good simple story, well organized and good dialogue's.

Well, first of all, I gotta tell you, I was a little bit surprised when I realised this movie has only one review. I personally think that this is a must watch movie for all the Detective Conan fans out there.
Anyway, lets begin:

Plot: 8
I really liked the plot. I mean, don't expect something outstanding, but it was honestly good. Shinichi, who is trapped in the body of young Conan, has to deal with someone who planted bombs all over the city. As I said earlier, the plot isn't the most original thing you'll ever see, but it's good.

Art: 10
Let's talk about the art. It's amazing, ... I mean, I like the character design and the animation in the anime series, but the movie was something else. Seriously, it felt like they tried so hatd to make the animation perfect- and let me tell you a little something- they succeded.

Sound: 7
Well, there's honestly not much to talk about here. I mean, there was a quite nice soundtrack, but not something honestly amazing.

Enjoyment: 9
I really enhoyed this movie. It's a good movie that has the Detective Conan spirit in it, and I had an amazing time watching it.

Overall: 8
This movie is good. If you consider yourself a Detective Conan fan and you haven't watched it, then well, joke's on you, because this move is very fun and enjoyble, as I mentioned before. Go watch it!

I personally thought the movie wasn't THAT great. Perhaps, it's a great movie to pass time if you don't have anything else to watch. I heard that the other "Case Closed" movies were better than this one, so given the benefit of the doubt, I'll just assume this movie wasn't great because it was the first of the series.

I thought the art and sound was good, similar to that of the show. I watched the dubbed version of the show. The characters, especially Detective Richard Moore were hilarious. His sense of humor always made me laugh.

One thing that amused me was how people weren't evacuated ... from the subway station after it was confirmed that there were bombs on the trains...

As far as enjoyment goes, I did not think it was too bad. However, it's not something I would see myself rewatching.
