[SSJup81]

Yep, I'm a big Meitantei Conan (Detective Conan) fan. I watch the show and sometimes read the manga. I haven't read every chapter, as I started keeping up with it for the later parts. I've also watched the two J-dramas for this series as well. I liked them for what they were...I just didn't like the actress who portrayed Ran.

I liked the movies too, and am really looking forward to movie 13. My favorites are:

Movie 01: Tokei Jikake no Matenrou (The Timed Bomb Skyscraper)
Movie 04: Hitomi no naka no Ansatsusha (Captured in her Eyes)
Movie 06: Baker Street no Bourei (The Phantom of Baker Street)
Movie 07: Meikyuu no Crossroad (Crossroad in the Ancient Capital) It was Heiji focused, so of course I loved it. lol Still an interesting translation, since the kanji used in the title for "meikyuu" can be read as "mystery" or "maze" or "Labyrinth".
Movie 09: Suiheisenjyou no Sutorateeji (Strategy Above Depths) I like the fact that Mouri did more for it.
Movie 10: Tanteitachi no Chinkonka (Requiem) (Requiem of the Detectives)

My favorite OVAs (and I'm really looking forward to OVA 9) are:

OVA 2: 16nin no Yougisha (16 Suspects)
OVA 5: Hyouteki wa Kogoro! Shounen Tanteidan Maruchichousa (The Target is Kogoro! The Detective Boys' Secret Investigation)
OVA 7: Agasa kara no Chousenjou! Agasa vs. Conan & Shounen Tanteidan (A Challenge from Agasa! Agasa vs Conan & Detective Boys)

OVA 8 I haven't seen yet. Sounds interesting though. It's supposed to be about Sonoko. And another OVA that I did like, was a side-story for movie 12. I liked that one a lot, since it dealt with a junior high Shinichi, skipping school, to solve a case. A character that was "heard" in this OVA, was a main character (only present time) for movie 12. The name of the special movie 12 OVA was Kudou Shinichi Nazo no Kabe to Kurouba Jiken (Kudo Shinichi. The Case of the Mysterious wall and the Black Lab Case).

My favorite characters are:

Haibara Ai/Miyano Shiho (Sherry): Even though her character is a bit of a pessimist, I still can't help but like her. Just like with Shinichi, she too aged backwards ten years because of the drug, which would technically make her eight. The only difference is that she was trying to kill herself and get out of the organization and purposely took it. She seeked out Shinichi/Conan and became a main character, also in hiding from the organization (especially after what happened to her older sister), and came up with the alias Haibara Ai. I also like how well she and Conan works together, as she's incredibly smart and "gifted" too. Either way, can't help but feel sorry for Ai. It would be nice to have her gain her ten years back, aside from that one time (that I know of) so far, but even then, she was almost killed since she's a target too. Maybe one day she'll be able to really come up with a drug that'll reverse the effects permanently. For "Case Closed" was her character ever introduced into the series?

Hatori Heiji: I loved him from the first time I saw him in...ep 50 I think it was. He's just so cool, and I like how they like to put emphasis on his way of talking and his choice of words due to the fact that he's not from the Kanto region of Japan. I like how no matter what, as Conan has told Heiji, jokingly, that Heiji will always be "second" and how he will always be first because of the Kanji "ichi" which means "one" being in his name. lol I like their friendly rivalry.

Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko: Mitsuhiko is my favorite of the three Shounen Tanteidan members, or whatever. He's conscientious and smart. I find his character adorable too, especially when it seems he has a crush on Ayumi, but also confused, since he has a liking towards Ai (who, imo, likes Conan). Overall, though, he's a very good asset to the group. He's pretty good when it comes to puzzles...like those involving Kanji readings.

Hondou Eisuke: I honestly miss his character. IMO, he really made the story interesting, and it would've been nice to have someone else after "Ran" romantically , especially since Eisuke admitted (to Conan) that he liked Ran and would like to take her to America with him and maybe marry her. Conan's reaction (manga and anime) were priceless, imo. lol I like the reason Eisuke gave for "confessing" to Conan of all people in the first place. lol I also miss Eisuke's character because of everything dealing with the organization and his indirect connections to it through his sister Rena and Conan being extremely suspicious of him.

Satou Miwako: I just like her for being "badass". lol

Another character I was amused with when she first was introduced into series was Jodie Starling. Even though I'm no native speaker of Japanese, I found the way she spoke it kind of odd and seems that was done purposely. I love how Heiji noticed it too and called her on it and how she used the reverse on him with his English.

And just for the heck of it, my favorite pairings are:

Conan x Ai
Shinichi x Ran
Mitsuhiko x Ayumi
Mitsuhiko x Ai (I kinda like his crush on her)
Heiji x Kazuha
Shuichi x Jodie
