| "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." Oogway |
| This episode was good. Nice to focus more on Ran and Conan rather than the case. She was so close! Don't be fooled Ran! |
| Batman, Lelouch, Conan...the telephone impersonation gambit always works, no questions asked. Once again, it seemed too early to reveal Shinichi. Great episode -- I have to say, the best episodes so far have been the ones without the Detective Boys. |
| She's definitely on to him! And it's only 7 episodes in, I have no clue how he's going to get away with this now... He'll probably end up telling her eventually. It's kind of lucky that she was on to him because then he played the game and got the patients name. |
| I knew the Professor was going to call when Conan walked in without his bow tie. Pretty good episode, Ran must be rather confused right now. |

I'm glad Ran isn't some airhead that wouldn't suspect Conan is Shinichi but as you said the dam telephone impersonation gambit always works :( |

| Although I've already watched about 300 episodes earlier, back in my childhood, I still find them so amusing! ^________^ |

Case File #7 The Intimidation Case of the Monthly Presents  Important Milestone:
Yet another title where the translation is awkward. I think this is a smoother translation though compared to episode 2. Also, I finally get a breather from watching jerks being killed in this show. I love it when the anime breaks from the formula and show us a case that isn't just about revenge-murder. Yes, the culprit's ultimate motive is still revenge, but at least he's not using the lame justification of how the victim deserves it this time (only that his father deserves it...). Okay, maybe not so far from the formula, but this is good enough. All the build-up of previous episodes hinting at Ran's suspicions have finally climaxed in this showdown. It's fantastic... but at the same time, it shows early on just how careless Conan can be. But since he got shrunk only a few episodes ago, this is still acceptable - not so much when it's repeated down the show. In fact, Ran would continue to find out about his identity several times down the series, and Conan had to find out new, brilliant ways to cover it up. I think my favorite cover-up is the most effective one - by having Shinichi show up in front of Ran at the same time as Conan in one of my favorite story arcs: "The Desperate Revival". I could go on how much I love that arc, particularly because it's Conan's first time returning to his own young adult body (someone else is disguised as Conan), but I'll save it for another time. I have a love-hate kind of thing going on with Ran finding out about Conan's identity. Yes, it's careless of Conan, but at the same time, not only is it an inevitable revelation, but it also produces great drama (or melodrama, depending on your perspective) between these two. It gets especially emotional in later instances of Ran's suspicions, when Conan becomes even more desperate to revive this relationship with her (hence titled "The Desperate Revival", wink-wink). But this early into his shrinking, it's merely played off as comedic rather than tragic, and Ran's questioning does get pretty funny, especially when she thinks about confessing about her feelings for Shinichi in front of Conan. Just think of what Ran would say when she finds out that all the time she's spent bathing with Conan together is actually... well, let's hope we won't be seeing "The Murder Case of Kudo Shinichi" any time soon. I teared up quite a bit by the end of the featured threatening case. A father who lost his son blames it on the surgeon who operated on him, thus sending his son's possessions as monthly presents to the surgeon's son. Creepy, yet tragic, especially when the surgeon's son reminds him of his own child and he breaks down in tears. You just don't get this many emotional cases in the newer episodes. I was gonna deduct half a star for the formula of "yet another revenge case", but if the formula is effective, then what the heck. Good show. ★★★★★ |
| Gotta feel bad especially knowing full well after reading the manga how long of an ass time he even gets to meet Shinichi in his own body for even a minute |
| Enjoying this one more and more. I like how violent it is despite being made for kids. Last episode mother killing her (step) son, this one attempted murder of a kid. But always with a good ending of course (except for those who died). But I *hate* the opening music! 70s punk?! |
| Ran is starting to suspect Conan's real identity hmm. Anyway that case was hardcore, trying to kill the surgeon's son because yours died, good thing it didn't happen though |
 |
| That Conan overhead kick though |
| Best episode yet! Glad to see more focus on Conan and less on Kogorou. |
