Can i watch the Ova,s before the series?

Not recommended as many of them feature characters that were introduced in the Anime and many of the OVAs related to something from the Anime or Movies.

There's a specific order (see two posts below this)

i love this series i follow them and they're awesome, and sad when the culprit confess their crimes and despite their evil deeds they had a hard and tragic life, the victims destroyed their lifes even though what they have done was unexcusable i understand their feelings and even though they have to go to jail i give to them the power of forgiveness because forgiveness is the best answer no matter how serious the wrong.

While watching a lot of Lupin III specials lately I stumbled upon some conclusions.

Yes, Kaitou Kid is inspired by Lupin (masks, dummies, magic tricks, ect) and also I understand why so many people here are interested in watching the Detective Conan movies without completing the TV series.

Basically some of the Lupin III specials and movies (most of them anime originals with only few loosely based on the manga) are really really good.
They even can overshadow some of the Lupin III TV series.
This may be true about other franchises (I don't know, One Piece?).

But in my opinion the DC movies, even with better animation and all, are really sub par to the stories from those TV series based on the manga...well except Lupin III vs. Detective Conan special and Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie which are great.

So for me the best alternative to speed-watch Conan is just to skip the AO episodes. There is no way around it.
It's not like Lupin III where you can miss some details from the mythology. (Basically you only must know the main characters - Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, Fujiko and Zenigata.)

DC is similar to One Piece - little pieces from the puzzle scattered all over the place.
Yes, you can watch the movies for the spectacle (maybe, I never watched a OP movie), but those are not the strongest points of the title.

Thank you so much for this. Watched up to ep. 31 and I LOVE this show so far, but given it's length I really want to save the filler episodes for after I catch up.

Excellent guide for someone new to the show, thanks again.

Detective Conan is like Sherlock Holmes and Hercules Poirot because not only they solve murder cases and catch the perpetrators of the crimes they solve also because the main antagonists of the series are worse than the criminals they catch such as Jim Moriarty, Stephen Norton and the Black Organization.

I just got season 1 of Detective Conan (American release) and all the gushes of blood were covered in a white light source of some sort. Bloodstains around corpses were in full color, though, even in the quite gruesome museum episode with the big guy nailed to the wall with a sword. Was this present in the original airing / Japanese DVDs as well, or was the American release censored?

(And how the heck is this aimed at all ages!? This would never pass as family friendly outside of Japan xD)

What i liked about detective conan is about great cases or mystery contents that they came out with and is one of the best detective anime series ever. However, I dont like how the MC always has to hide behind somewhere and mimic others' voice which the credits of solving the case is given to others instead. It is understandable that the MC did that to avoid attention especially from the Black Organisation and less people will actually believe in what a kid is talking about. Furthermore, he is still nowhere in solving the case about the black organisation despite having more than 800 episodes.

I remember the Japanese versions show all the blood and did not have censor.

Basically the scene where the victim got decapitated was shown as a flash of white light instead of blood gushing. The same scene was shown in uncensored fashion in the recent remake special, Episode One - Chiisaku Natta Meitantei.

Thanks! That makes sense if it's decapitation lol

I know everyone has their own threshold for the amount of episodes they deem important but I while back I made a list of episodes (and have updated it since) of the episodes I think are important. If anyone wants to use this list to watch Detective Conan feel free.

Essential episodes
1-7, 9-13, 18, 20-21, 32, 42-43, 48-50, 54, 57-58, 76-78, 81-82, 96, 100-101, 112, 128-131, 136-139, 141-142, 152-154, 162, 166-167, 170-171, 176-178, 188-193, 199-200 217-218, 226-227, 230-231, 258-259, 271-272, 286-290, 304, 307-311, 325-327, 329-330, 338-341, 343-347, 361-362, 385-387, 400, 421-422, 425, 427-432, 462-465, 472-473, 485-486, 490-504, 507-509, 511, 521-523, 563-564, 578-581, 616-623, 646-655, 667-668, 671-676, 681-683, 690-691, 699-706, 722-723, 727-728, 731-732, 734, 740-741, 744-745, 748-749, 754-756, 759-760, 770-773, 779-783, 785-788, 792-793, 810-812, 827-828, 836-837, 849-850, 853-854, 861-864, 866-867, 881-882

This is a useless list. What is deemed an essential episode to someone else could be unimportant according to you . For example you didn't include episodes 144 and 145, which is a very enjoyable case, making it essential to watch imo, yet you obviously don't think that way. Same for others, what is deemed an essential episode is a subjective matter and not just means plot related episodes. Besides, you didn't give any details why you think these are essential or name of the episodes, making it a chore to check what those numbers relate to which episodes.

It’s not perfect, it’s impossible to have a perfect list, but for many people who wouldn’t want to start a nearly 900 episode episodic series it has pretty much all you need to get up to speed. I used the anime list on the wiki as a guide so you can cross reference it with that and see how useful it is.
http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Anime

I’m not saying you have to agree with my choices it’s just so that if someone doesn’t want to watch 900 episodes but they want to get up to speed with the story they can watch this.

Does any of you know where I can get the first episodes with decent quality subs? The ones I found are mediocre and make me genuinely cringe...
Alternatively when do the subs get good?

I mean seriously?

All of the OVAs minus "OVA 11: A Secret Order from London" are pretty good. All Magic Files except "File 2:Kudou Shinichi - The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab" are good. Definitely watch both the Lupin x Conan collabs! "The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History" is an interesting one too.

You can follow the legend to watch what you want. Personally speaking though every episode of Conan is worth your time.

Basically use this site and watch every episode with a symbol as it stands for some kind of development. Rest are fillers you can skip(some of them are worth though imo).

A joke answer. I really do love the series. Obviously. But yeah the length and kind of the spin-offs and growth of the franchise of it all is overwhelming. I've heard Aoyama wants to end it but even then it's still will go on for god knows how long in animated form. SOME OF US would like a proper ending. As someone who found out about it when they were 11 and is 23 and am by far not an older fan, I think people deserve it.

Not only that but when you think of how DC is more of a murder mystery series and not really all that much an all around mystery adventure, it's kind of taxing on how grounded it all is, even with how much time has passed since Shinichi has transformed into a kid. He could've been an adult 10x over by now.

I think you should keep a note of what episodes you've seen so that you can slowly digest it all because detective conan is good. The keys to story plot is far in between, enough to make your memory about it blurry so you can re-watch it by referring to wiki.

Detective Conan is a good series.If you want you can watch full day or 5-6 episodes per day it because the anime not addictive but I am sure you will enjoy.Also generally this anime is a one man show and there is not exist annoying characters.If you love mystery and detective things you should start, someday you cant recognize how to reach timely episodes.By the way I finished about %30 of the series at one month and I think it will finish before summer.

Call them 'fillers' or whatever, but there are many clever cases scattered all over. The plot and understanding "what's going on" isn't even the point. Just watch anything else.

Watch out everyone we have a badass here who thinks he has the right to dictate what other people should watch. LOL

Pfft. Dictate what..? It was just a piece of advice.
Skipping all of the "fillers" seems pointless tbh, because many of them are even better than the 'canon' episodes. Anyone who does that would (ironically) end up wasting time and missing a lot of quality stuff.

But hey, it's your choice, not mine. Do whatever you want; I don't care.

For someone who supposedly don't care you sure talk a lot, kiddo. Not to mention, you are talking as if you've watched all episodes whereas you watched Conan only until episode 140 according to your list, which is not even half of the show. LOL

Actually, I watched more than that. My list isn't updated often for long-running anime and manga. It's a pain so I only do it once every few months.
Even if we just consider those, I'm pretty sure there are over 50 "filler" episodes, and that's plenty for me to have an opinion on the matter.

..Typing some lines in a random forum thread doesn't necessarily mean I care about what you do with your life, you know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, keep telling yourself that, kiddo. After all, you are the only one who believes your bs. :)))
