Detective Conan Movie 15: Quarter of Silence

The momentous day of the opening of the new Tokyo subway, the Touto Line, has come, but a bombing incident puts all celebrations to a halt. The governor of Tokyo is caught in the blast while onboard the train, but he and everyone else present is fortunately saved by the quick thinking and actions of Conan Edogawa.

Intrigued by the incident, Conan researches the governor's political history and discovers that the man was responsible for the destruction of a village in Niigata to build the Kitanosawa Dam. Believing the attack to be related to the construction of the dam, Conan, accompanied by Ran Mouri, Kogorou Mouri, Professor Agasa, Sonoko Suzuki, and the Detective Boys, decides to visit the village and investigate.

There, they meet a group of locals who lived in the old village before it was torn down. However, just as one mystery leads to another, one of the locals is murdered. Suspecting that something much more sinister is afoot, Conan vows to uncover the truth behind these two incidents before it is too late.

I've never written a review before, simply because I'm not good at stuff like that.
But after watching this movie, I just got an urge to do it.

So, here I go:

Even though the trailer didn't get me least excited and therefore I wasn't THAT hyped, because of Movie 12's, 13's and 14's Awesomeness, this one blew me away, once again.

It had everything, I love so much about this series (except for Kaito and Heiji, but they were in Movie 14 already).
The case was very exciting, the typical humour was good and the action was thrilling.
Of course, there also was the obligatoric dosis of drama, the series ...

As a huge DC fan, I was wondering about how they could surprise us, after producing both DC movies (13 & 14) which where very very enjoyable.
So, does this film hold all his promises, and our expectations?
Let's talk about it.

Detective Conan Movie 15: Quarter of Silence:

•Story (04/10):
After an introduction scene, showing a boy falling from a small snowy cliff, the story begins immediately out kind of crazy.

Once again we dive right into another Detective Conan movie, and coming off of the amazing Raven Chaser and Lost Ship in the Sky, this movie has some pretty big shoes to fill. Did it's snowy setting pull off another great story? ...pretty well, but lets elaborate the truth, shall we?

Story (7/10): After an almost fatal bombing on a newly opened subway line occurs, Conan believes there's a connection to a dam building project that relocated an entire village 5 years ago, and the whole gang (minus the police department characters) end up traveling there. They are then met with some freaky coincidences that ... could lead to the culprit in this case. But just what is that persons goal, and what does a coma patient have to do with it?

As a story for a movie, this feels a bit underwhelming, but by no means is the story itself bad. In fact I would say that it's the one of the more well done stories in a Conan movie to date, utilizing the time correctly and using the movie exclusive characters very well. The bad thing though is that it does feel like a longer episode of the main show, so there's a bit too much padding to fill out the almost 2 hour time frame. The movie also tries to bring up the Shinichi/Ran romance, but where it fit almost naturally into the previous movie, here it feels tacked on for the sake of having it just be there.

Also I hope you're a fan of the Detective Boys, cause they play a larger part here than in more recent films, but even I, who isn't really a big fan of them, have to admit that they added a certain charm to the story itself. Otherwise I feel like the story moves along fairly well and the climax is really amazing, so kudos (heh) for holding itself up to the better standards of the last few movies.

Art (8/10): I get the feeling that the staff who works on the movies is getting more into doing action scenes, since they were better than ever. They must have had fun with all the snowboarding scenes because hot damn were they fluid and exciting. The snowy village location was also really nice to look at, though this does cause the problem of the film being very white and pale colored heavy.

Sound (7/10): I'm not going to rehash anything, since sound is pretty much the same in most Conan movies by now. But as usual, it was great (an much better timed with things compared to the horrendous job done in the last movie).

Character (7/10): Conan/Shinichi, is, as usual, great, along with a bit more screen time for Ai, but since they really don't have too many character moments themselves, lets focus on the others. As I said before, the Detective Boys are actually fairly important in this movie, so I hope you have a soft spot for them (me personally, I don't really like them all that much, but they have their moments). But thankfully, they fit in very well with the plot and they are played up with their strengths, making them much more tolerable than in other films. Agasa, Kogoro, Ran, and Sonoko, on the other hand, are just sort of thrown into the movie and don't really do all that much, one of the unfortunate trends that the movies tend to have.

(If you're wondering, Conan movies have the bad tendency of only focusing on one set of secondary characters, so one movie (Rave Chaser) may focus on the police characters, one (Jolly Rodger of the Deep Sea) focusing on Ran and Sonoko, and this movie on the Detective Boys, where the other set(s) feel out of place or underutilized. ...rant over, I promise.)

The movie characters, thankfully, are fairly strong and are fun to watch. While they aren't too amazing (they do have the standard feel of a Conan case character), special note goes to Touma, who is fairly interesting and probably could have had more screen time on his own, but for what we got he was interesting and helped with some interesting parallels with Conan, Ai, and the Detective Boys.

Enjoyment (8/10): Going into this movie, I had no idea what I was in for. All I knew was that there was a snowy location and...that's it. But I'm happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised. While I do think that they could have made the film a slight bit shorter, it was entertaining and a totally fun watch.

Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence is a fun ride from start to finish, though it doesn't feel quite as strong as the two movies prior to it. But that doesn't matter as much since the mystery was interesting, the action fun, and it gave some characters some time to shine. While some things are the same as ever, it's still a fun movie for fans and non-fans alike.

7/10 = fun movie with an interesting mystery and good action, but just doesn't feel as strong as some of the better entries in the movie franchise; you better like the Detective Boys, because they're partial headliners here
