I'm starting by saying that I haven't finished it yet, and I'm mainly watching the episodes that carry on the plot of the Black Organization. I haven't finished the story yet, but in case I decide to change my mind I will edit the review later.
So:
The story is very slow based on the clues that are given to the viewer, as if the purpose of the show for the author was not to carry on the story of the BO but to shoot as many detective cases as possible to be shown on TV. This is probably the case, but we get over it.
To make people understand the slowness that I mean now I find myself around episode 900 and more or less what the protagonists know about the BO is the same as they knew in the first episodes.
It must be said that he knows how to put curiosity, the characters are mysterious and they want to be discovered willingly.
Another problem is the main characters .. practically they are nothing more than a side dish for Conan who is the absolute GOAT of the show. He does everything, only him. Any problem, any difficulty, anything is solved by the protagonist. An absolute deus ex machina. I'd like some other secondary characters to appear and maybe show the protagonist that he actually exists.
On the show, they say Conan's father is smarter than Conan himself, but the father is practically never around. He would solve everything in 5 minutes but he is not there, the Captain Marvel of Case Closed practically.
The cases are great fun and seen with friends they are very entertaining. Maybe after a while you can figure out the pattern but it's still fun.
Sometimes I get angry because the members of the BO, when they are about to be captured, seem to be made of water. They slip and manage to liquidate themselves from the crime scene before even the FBI can only catch a glimpse of them. In my opinion, here is a bit of a suspension of disbelief in true Conan style that takes the serial killers with a ball to capture them. But this, if the show is seen in a group, makes even more laugh so that's great.
The reason for the existence of the BO has not yet been discovered, I have some suspicions for now but still nothing. In my opinion this is a problem because as a spectator I don't know who we are fighting against.
edit. After 900 episodes this is becoming one of the main problems
It would be nice if the protagonists also used a little more force and maybe shot or capture more important members of the BO to find out details and motivations.
The drawing style is very beautiful and original. The animations are not the best but watchable.
The OSTs are not bad but they are few for a story that goes on for so long (the times in which the main theme is repeated in different sauces are many)
I will update the review in the future, for now I remain of this idea particularly neutral and a bit irritated haha.
-goro stop being a comic relif and save everyone's ass I know you're a genius-
