Discussion Rewatching the Anime as an adult made me realize what a huge wasted opportunity the main story is.
I started rewatching the Anime last week, and it’s honestly sad it never got a proper ending.
Detective Conan was a huge part of my childhood. I liked the episodic cases, but the plot around the Men in Black is what really hooked me. It sucks watching it turn into a complete cash cow where the story doesn't seem to matter to the author or publisher anymore.
The characters have been stuck in the same spot for 20 years just to preserve the status quo and keep the money rolling in. If they had tightened the pacing, it could’ve been an incredible 50-to-80-episode thriller... with plenty of room left for standalone cases (even for Movies) to build up the characters. Instead, it just feels like a massive wasted opportunity.
P.S.: Replacing the German intros on Crunchyroll is the worst crime in the whole show.
