Conan is fucking long and I've heard the plot doesn't advance too much. With long series I find they're much easier to watch if the episodes tie into each other like in one piece etc. Anyway I was wondering if Conan has arcs and stuff because if the episodes are pretty much all one offs then I don't think I could watch it.

Aside from some specials which can take up to four episodes, most of the 'normal' cases are very episodic and get introduced and resolved within the same episode. Of course there are also the ones that revolve around the organization, they're almost always longer, I think there are a few which are over ten episodes long, but you won't get to see them until around episode 300 if I recall correctly.

90% of it is episodic mysteries and about 10% of those have important plot/character/etc information. But I wouldn't suggest skipping all the episodic mysteries and going for the plot related episodes. You're supposed to watch anything and it's made so that you can watch any amount of episodes you want at a time.

As someone who watched all episodes of detective conan there’s 45% fillers that are all episodic just skip them for manga episodes there’s some cases that are episodic in the beginning and kaito kid episodes with them too. Which make like 5% of the manga series so about 50% of it isn’t episodic which got main details and development about the black organization. Its a really good manga that got a really bad adaptation because the amount of filler so people now look for it as an episodic show while the manga wasen’t ever an episodic show if you don’t believe me try watching the first episode then the most recent manga episode you won’t understand 90% of it

There's one main arc which slowly progresses thruout the series, while also having a mix of smaller arcs and one offs, the story's pretty well connected imo

It's even longer than One Piece and yeah it does have arcs, most are episodic, some are dual. About 1/3 is mystery thriller but the rest is slice of life, drama and romance hence the length with a ton of fillers. I think this would help:

With that you can cut at least 200 eps and can jump to whichever you want. The main plot eps are nigh masterpiece imo and the ones with char development are pretty good too. The cast of characters is the best thing about it for me.

If you think it is long and you can't watch it then I advice you to watch first 2 episodes of you like it then you will definitely fall for into this anime.It is about enjoyment not about 1000 episodes.

It’s on a kids tv program block, with other kid type shows. Nothing is super bad, yes there are murders but are Disney level. Zero gore, zero romantic themes, unless it’s comical. Zero deep thoughts or anything to make think for a while. There is zero interest to end a show that has been on the air for the last 20 years on a kid program block, because it’s a cash cow.
