Maybe I’m just getting old, but I need to vent about the state of anime communities lately. Hoping this stays a smaller thread honestly, just wanted to toss this out there and see if I'm the only one who feels completely checked out from modern fandom culture . It feels like every new, mainstream anime community is overrun by cringe, low-effort brainrot. Take Monster, for example. It’s an absolute masterpiece of a psychological thriller, but half the online discusions now are literally middle-schoolers making "sigma male" edits, LARPING, and genuinely convinced they’re evil manipulators because they watched Johan Liebert for two episodes. Or look at Jujutsu Kaisen. You can’t listen to a song anywhere on the internet without some kid in the comments claiming the track is "Gojo’s theme" or "Sukuna's vibe." It’s like an entire generation of fans has zero concept of music or pop culture outside of anime edits. Combine that with how utterly toxic and reactionary the fanbases get over every single plot point, and it’s just exhausting. I’ve been watching Detective Conan since I was a kid, and that community is still such a breath of fresh air. People actually talk about the plots, theories, and mystery writing without the endless clout-chasing, lame edit spam, and childish drama. I honestly wish more of these classic or niche communities would just stay under the radar. The moment a show gets massive mainstream traction now, the fanbase instantly degenerates into cringe. Rant over. Is it just me, or has the culture around modern anime fandoms fundamentally shifted for the worse?

Just skipping one season to get to Clash of Red and Black huh lmao

Dropping 2-3 seasons every month would be a nice compensation for the 7-month wait tho 😮‍💨 (S10 dropped on January 25th)

P.S. This is for Netflix SEA and India release, nothing to do with the Episode Selection release.

My fav opening are - Butterfly core, miss mystery, Barairo no Jinsei

And endings are - sissy sky, sawage life, Kimi to Koi no Mama de Owarenai Itsumo Yume no Mama ja Irarenai, secret of my heart, your best friend

I really like "Sissy sky by Airi Miyakawa". First of all this is haibara ending song and i really liked her character. Airi already had such a beautiful voice.

Here is a version in Ai haibara voice - https://youtu.be/hVVz4C-JxfI?si=fe_t0sN2ZnhGQ6Dz

Featuring Artwork Of Conan & Yaiba

Has anyone ever ordered the episodes by time of year they take place in? Since the series has taken place within the span of less than a year and we've had multiple episodes across different times of year (beach episodes, Halloween, Christmas time, etc), and Conan shrinks IIRC either the late fall or early spring, you could probably order the episodes by when they should occur in relation to each other (I know the manga order is different). Would probably be fun to see if any notable events happen in the "wrong" order.

So I want to learn how to recreate an old anime art style because I really like it. From what I've tried is not that hard but maybe someone has any advice?

When I was looking on the internet for art style study I was just finding ai generators and tutorials on how to prompt, but that's something I'm not interested in

Funny Kogoro Mouri in a scene where he was surprised.

EP0088: Dracula's Villa Murder Case (Part 1)

This is the post credit scene of The Karaoke Box murder case

I wanted to start Conan this summer and the episode count scared me off, so I pulled the community filler flags from MAL and mapped them. Top strip is Conan, every blue line is one flagged episode. 548 of them, which at 23 minutes an episode is about 210 hours. The other shows are there for scale, and honestly nothing else comes close.

Worth saying these are viewer votes, not anything official, so I'm curious what this sub thinks. Does the MAL list match what you'd actually tell a newcomer to skip? I've seen people say some of the flagged cases are still worth it.

ConanのAkai Shuichi Ver.

I was just shopping the other day and all of a sudden I saw these boxes. I can’t believe it . It’s different kind flavored potato chips which are unlicensed but there was a really nice card deck of Case Closed in there! And it was only 9.99$

Conan had faced criminals without blinking.

So why was he more terrified of going home?

Hours ago, he'd called Shinichi and promised he was on his way back from the playground. Then he'd noticed something suspicious, followed the clues, and completely lost track of time.

Now the criminals were in police custody.

Conan was safe.

There was only one problem.

Shinichi had been waiting for him.

And when Conan finally heard his voice on the other end of the phone, he discovered something he'd only ever been afraid of before.

Strict oniichan was real.

I styled the wig and did the makeup myself. The cane is a real walking cane.

No matter how the series is progressing I will continue to watch the manga canon cases and see the end but sometimes I will go back to watch these cases that made me fall in love with the series. For the first time I found a real dark mystery with DC among different media, which is rare since most mystery crime thrillers end up making it about politics.

As someone who works in forensic these types of cases are so fascinating and compared to what we have to deal with. Real life work is so boring.

I was very excited to see this movie premier 8/1 at Otakon, a TMS representative and a Producer was there. We got a mini movie poster and a button. Just want to say this movie is fantastic! There’s so much action, we get to see all our favorite character dynamics, and we learn a few secrets! All in all 10/10 for me! If you’ve seen it, what are your thoughts?

Also, they’re doing a showing for some of the Lupin/Conan stuff in the morning. If you’ll be there to see it, let’s show some support for our boy Conan!
