| I agree, Yumi was great fun haha. Mate-in-5 scene from Haneda was really cool too, and the tension between Akai and Sera/Mary, and Sera and Conan was gold (can't wait for these two to finally TALK things through in the series...). Haibara was quite the MVP this time around. In contrast, Kogoro, as always, just stared into the void and pretended to do something HAHAHAHAH I swear he is the biggest goof of the series. Typical Conan movie, full of action at the end :D Glad to have been able to see it on the cinema for the first time. |

| Can anyone talk about their movie-going experience and what is like to have a simultaneous release outside of Japan? |
| First of all, I recognized Suzumura-san's voice, but didn't realize Hirano-san's voice at all!! xxmsxx said: I've been watching Conan movies on the local theater in the past, but was usually late, so I think it's the same feeling as before, but I got my schedule rushed (didn't know when I should watch it, though I've decided to watch it today, which is 3rd day now) just because the premiere was earlier.Can anyone talk about their movie-going experience and what is like to have a simultaneous release outside of Japan?

During Aoyama Talk Day in January 2020 (last year before M24 was postponed), he said will be the main characters. I don't think it has changed, but the preview clearly means that the This means that the whole will likely be featured. Or at least the emphasis will be around these people. If you think about it, and Conan is the main character of the series, so they can't really . |
| The train's accident made the whole cinema shake? Overall, not the best movie so far, but the action scenes made up for the lack of plot-thickness. PD: Next film dedicated to Police Academy' story, can't wait to watch it on in cinemas agan! |

| I have watched all Conan movies. In those movies, I love this one very well. (Still, my best is "Case Closed: The Phantom of Baker Street" though..) Akai family's story is interesting. Myrga said: I agree, Yumi was great fun haha. Totally agree with this opinion. Hahaha. |

| Finally, a Theater in my city is open, and wow, I really like the movie, With all the plot twist and everything, Yeah i can give it a 9/10, i have been a Detective Conan for Awile now |
| Love this movie, but sadly The Darkest Nightmare is still the best conan movie i've ever seen. Feels like there is a kind of plot armor by seeing Sera and Conan aren't hardly injured eventho the train is literally crashing and smashing the stadium. Also, one quick question arose, does this mean Sera already knew that Conan is shinichi if she heard conan answering Ran on shinichi phone? |

At least it's been hi ted in the manga. |

I heard they were giving out official art / merch, did you get one? So, a month ago after the announcement of Macron, the French president, he announced that cinema would open from mid-May. That's when Eurozoom announced. Personally, I looked in Original version subtitled in french but there is also in French version. After I watched earlier in the week, so there aren't many people. I don't have official art/merch. |
| Insanely nonsensical case, which is quite the 'standard Conan movie fare' as of now - I think it has been so for more than ten years, which is still a hard pill to swallow. Not that I did not like it per say: my movie-going experience was undoubtedly decent - it is certainly tailor-made for the big screen. There is no denying that watching all of these characters reeling their usual one-liners out, taking also part in bombastic action sequences are quite fun on the face of it (especially considering how beautifully animated these moments were). Ironically enough, the theatrical environment was clearly my highlight. It is essentially a fairly okay film for what it is - i.e. a 'Marvel-approach' to storytelling, putting in the forefront characters' interactions at the cost of a compelling narrative: a 'Blockbuster-ish rollercoaster' that I am sure people familiar with the show can appreciate. The thing is, that is not what I want to see from this series: I am not interested in sub-par, badly-written detective narratives - nor am I particularly invested in the turpitudes of the Akai family. I am sorry, but I just find all the ploys used to make this family as unique as possible just boring: I get the theming, I really do (it is basically the one from the Rum arc, but with no sense of closure, which is quite problematic for what should be a self-contained story) - yet I am also so tired of it. Case-wise, it was both easy to figure out and confusing at the same time: easy first, because the movie constantly repeated over and over again the hints - as if to ram the culprit(s)'s identity home; then, consufing because the whole film can be summarised as an 'info dump' narrative. Giving proper case information to the audience is one thing, running them into the ground with needless technological prattles is another entirely. Gosh were those parts incredibly tedious, pacing was all over the place as usual. Of course, I am being very negative - which again does not mean I did not like it: it was fun for what it was, and I loved the fact that every character (besides Mary I suppose) had a decent role to play in this story: Haibara was especially great in this. Heck, there were also parts that I found surprisingly compelling: the ending with Shuukichi was great - it is the kind of holmesian 'action, yet also deduction' sequence that I would really like to see more often in this 'filmic' series. However, I cannot lie that the 'whole package' greatly annoys me. It is a case of 'not being my Detective Conan' I suppose, and I am to be blamed for constantly expecting something else from these movies. Though, I have to admit that I fail to understand how the recent Conan films can be so successful with the general public, while also being so 'non-casual friendly'. I get that 'Conan is the real deal' in Japan, but the truth is most Japanese people are not religiously following the manga, nor its main plot. In reality, they are mostly turning in to watch their saturday-evening detective show with the characters they like - in a 'Midsomer Murders' kind of way. Sure, there is the typical 'recap intro', but this one did not really do a good job at presenting the Akai family (which is not too surprising, considering how this narrative is contrived to its core), nor did it make the effort to introduce Conan's devices - a bit of a shame given that the film relies heavily on them. I do not know if we should see this movie as canonical / relevant to the manga, but it is undeniable that the line separating these two media is getting blurrier and blurrier. I would not recommend watching it without really being up to date with the series, or the 'guest characters' of this film: it is not a particularly well-crafted intoduction to Aoyama's universe, nor was it thought / written as one. Better be safe than sorry. |

| The movie was alright but worth watching nonetheless. I like that it confirms many speculation in more direct way. I know movies aren’t canon but Mary hatred towards the FBI might reappear in the anime. Is it because she’s blaming the FBI for Akai’s death? |
| Pretty good movie. Not the best one but still the one of the better conan movie. Visuals very great and story was pretty decent, got enough exposition (like quench concept) which I expect from good conan movie. Character were great as usual, akai's mom took the mvp. Overall loved it. Also did they just tease Police Academy Arc? Isn't that supposed to be a tv anime according to mal (not next movie)? I am confused. |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| Genta was pretty great as a search dog xD Man, yet another Conan movie from recent years that was a blast to watch. It featured the Akai family, a cool fight scene between Shuuichi and Sera and an out of control train. The latter was damn intense, especially the part when Conan tried to stop it. Visuals were just crazy and soundtrack not too bad either. 7/10 delivered what I expect from a Conan blockbuster |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I recognized Suzu's voice immediately, but man, when he does crazy, he sounds so different lol. Overall, an enteraining popcorn movie. The latest Conan movies are just like that now, high budget quality visually but with less and less substance, just like Michael Bay movies. But I always appreciate to see more of Sera, though her chasing after Shuichi but never really gets to meet him is getting a bit tiresome now. |
 |
| Had higher expectations from this. Three things especially annoyed me the most:- 1. Akai Shuichi didn't get any bizarre moment. 2. The case was quite halfhearted. 3. Ran's cringiness of yelling "Conan" all the time. Must say I felt discontented. |

| So, the movie is referencing the 2020 Olympics this time, huh. Makes sense, since it was originally meant to come out around the same time until it got delayed to early 2021. This whole movie seemed pretty linear (pun intended) for the most part. It felt like not much happened at all until near the climax. Not the strongest of stories as far as the movies go, but still enjoyable nonetheless since it's Conan after all. Maybe they intended The Scarlet Alibi compilation movie (compiled episodes taken from the main series) to be the bulk of the overall story, and this was just a continuation of that? Who knows. Shukichi is not only a genius shogi player, but also an expert coordinator too apparently, with his quick memorization skill. Seems like he'd be suited to lead teams in operations, if he ever decides to switch careers. It's nice to see this other side of him, as he's only featured very seldomly in the main anime, with a few murder case deductions here and there. I only wish this movie showed more of the Akai family together, like the trailer advertised it as. But all that felt pretty sparse to me, aside from the very brief Okiya Subaru vs Sera Masumi fight in the warehouse, and the brothers going on the drive/ teaming up in pursuit with a drunk Yumi napping in backseat, and finally in the after credits scene when he puts the Okiya Subaru disguise back on. After the IRL driving montage during the ending credits, I liked the little silent exchange between Conan and Ai after he returns safely. But what made me like it, was the woman in the attendant uniform in the background, probably thinking there's something between the two, not noticing the detective boys badges in their hands as they're waving to one another. Overall, not the greatest movie, but not bad either for a non-canon filler movie. It certainly gives me my Detective Conan fix until the next episode comes out. Something that bugs me though, is that Haneda Shukichi knows that his brother Akai Shuichi is a live and well, with both keeping in touch, but not his sister Sera or mother, who still think Akai is either dead or maybe still alive. shiroi-ookami said: Overall, an enteraining popcorn movie.

| This movie is just not as good as many others. It really does look like an average episode with better animation than usual. 7/10 |
 .Go watch Gintama boyo/grill My discord server for gaming and anime/manga: https://discord.com/invite/4mqXfNEJ9A |
| Watched it, subtitles weren't so good, and felt rather underwhelming. |
| The story is disappointing, the subtitles were ass, but the experience overall was okay. It was fun near the end. I just think the mystery is the weakest out of all the movies. Very boring mystery, I didn't feel like I cared. |
| Commend for Hirano Aya's Engrish. First part of the movie was boring. As usual, Conan movies have the long car chases, science thingy shits, and some soccer ball kicking shoes at the end. Somehow entertaining but the old movies are still the best. Imo. |
| Upset. I expected more from this movie, but the first 40 minutes are a waste explaining things that were too much in 10 minutes! The action on the train is good, except for the ending, untenable, no matter how much Conan Edogawa is, we go from reality to mythology. The best: The animation style. 5/10 kekeke |
| The funny thing about Conan movies is you alway know what buildings, vehicles are going to be destroyed in the end :D. I kind of liked it (middle part felt a little boring tho). But I gotta admit I liked it much more than the last movie. Especially seeing Akai (and his family), the FBI. Also loved Akai pointing out the difference between them and Conan that for him even culprits don't deserve to die. Although this thelepatic thing between Shinichi and Ran gets kind of old and I wish they'd come up with something new (says a hopleless romantic but it's a little repetitive). Not my favorite movie but also not the worst and like I said there are aspects I really liked. |

| One of the better movies post Movie 13. The Akai family is pretty awesome. |
| Ahh Shuuichi bein a badass as always. An unstoppable bullet that keeps going until it hits its target. What a shot. |
| The writer wants to keep showing off his science knowledge every movie and forgets to make an interesting plot. This movie could’ve been so much more if they didn’t waste the first 40 mins. 6/10, it was fine. I did like the animation and usual Akai badassery. |
