Yeah! It was totally fun, even if you totally forgot me in your shoutout. Thanks for all of the hard work you and the other podcasters do! <3 Edit: Here's the textless version of the title card for those of you who want an adorable new desktop.

I just want to thank all of you who came by and joined us for the live show!! Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting too many people to show up, probably only around 8-10 was what was in my mind. I did NOT expect us to actually reach the 50 viewer limit on more than one occasion!! We had somewhere between 37-40 people on average later on in the program all the way to the end, which is absolutely amazing to think about. It was also really nice to see people that I haven't seen or talked to in eons (Akonyl, Kleene, PT, Alicetama, Wakarimashita, and pofa, who I am so, so sad came in RIGHT when the show finished recording... I WAS SO SADDENED BY THIS, POFA ;____ as well as other people that I am completely surprised but very pleased to see had showed up as well (Jd-, Knightus, Parkur, MagicBulletGirl, Chekhov, and yes, even you slider <3). I also want to thank the people that showed up and kept with us through most of the night. People like yamiangie and Stopwatch and a whole host of others that I KNOW I'm forgetting, but all of you were absolutely appreciated. I have to shout-out to my DCW-brethren who also showed up, some Howie Mandel-style epic fist bumps for you all~ <3 So yeah, this podcast from a listening stand-point was a complete and overwhelming success. I cannot believe we really had so many people listening to us goof off for like, 3 hours (of which like an hour was spent talking about Detective Conan...) and hang in there and discuss along with us. It was awesome and you are all my favorite people in the world right now. <3 With the success this show had, yes, I can definitely see us doing more of these in the near-future, and I just want to thank all of you for helping give us that success. For those that missed the show, don't fret, the .mp3 will be coming out very shortly~!

(OOC: Natake Rin is the main character, a female undercover as a boy named 'Shinichi' and she has blue-dyed hair and green eyes, as well as a detemined but apathetic personality. Hande Mura is a strong, serious detective with black hair and violet eyes. He wears glasses, but doesn't need them, and can communicate with spirits. Amari Seiji is tall, good at communication, and has blonde hair and blue eyes. He's popular in the 'real world,' and can get whatever information he wants out of most anyone. Amari Kira is an attractive, moderately OCD girl with long strawberry-blonde hair and blue eyes. She's not a detective in any sense of the word, but is brought along on cases to protect Rin's identity. Osawa Minoru is a sketch artist with a photographic memory of sorts, and he has long brown hair tied in a ponytail. His dichromatism gave hm one brown and one blue eye behind his glasses, and he's been in a wheelchair since his legs were paralyzed in an accident. :OOC) Hattori flinched as the suspect questioned him. "Well, what did you need, Hattori-san?" "Ah, how do ya know my name?" he asked in reply. "And why have ya been avoiding me?" The teen sighed and stated, I really have to follow this guy, but we can talk, as long as you remain discreet." Heiji scoffed, "Of course I can be discreet!" With a dismissive shrug, the teenager sighed, "My name is Natake Shinichi. I'm a detective in training, and hot on the trail of an arson suspect. I had to avoid talking to you to stay behind him, but now I lost the trail..." Natake broke off without so much as a glance at Hattori and made her way to the sidewalk. When Heiji followed, she added, "If you must know, I researched you at the police station during my investigation." Only Rin knew that this was a lie, but there was no way he'd believe that she had come into a world she'd believed was fake and had read all about him in a fictional manga, was there? After apologizing for suspecting her, Heiji decided to say his goodbyes and leave the case to the precinct's jurisdiction. He'd go back to where his mother and Kazuha were and leave this kid to his work... Even as he thought it, the hot-blooded Osakan knew he'd never do something like that. "Sorry, Kazuha," he muttered, following as Rin offered to let him 'tag along' and help with the investigation. "My suspect was tall, wearing a winter coat and scarf, and in soot-stained galoshes." Hattori did his best not to laugh, but the chuckle that escaped him at the thought of a criminal in galoshes was only restrained for a moment. Rather than rolling her eyes at his unprofessional behavior, Rin smiled, adding, "At least he should be easy to find." Heiji turned on his phone to check the digital clock, but was thwarted as two voicemail messages popped up. One was from Kudo Shinichi. Or rather, his younger counterpart, he thought. The other was listed as a restricted number, and his brow furrowed as he sifted through the possibilities. After dismissing the first message, which was little more than Conan demanding he answer his phone and discuss a case with him, he deleted it and moved on to the other. No sooner had he pressed '1' to listen than a chill crawled up his spine and he felt a tingling at the nape of his neck. A voice, obviously altered to an inhuman growl, snarled, "Listen, kid, I've had enough of your interference in other people's lives. These little bonfires have been for you, and now I'm going to set off a firework big enough for your farewell party. The girl with the striped umbrella is here, too. Alert the police, and the celebration will begin ahead of schedule. You have until 3 a.m. to reclaim what I've taken. It is hidden from your eyes as an easy example of your uselessness. Tokyoites wouldnt understand. You have my hint, tantei-kun." Only a moment later, he turned to Rin and shouted, "He has Kazuha! That bastard's gonna get a broken nose messin' with this detective!" Trying to calm her hyped-up companion, Rin sighed, "For now, let's follow the lead I have on the suspect. Once we catch up to him, we'll get the information we need." With a sigh, Heiji relented. "Fine, but I ain't gonna be held responsible fer what happens ta the guy when we do find 'im!" "Granted," replied Rin. A few minutes later they were about ten feet from the suspicious man, following in the crowd as much as possible and trying not to be seen. But, try as he might, Hattori couldn't hold in the rage that was boiling in his blood. "He's gonna pay," he muttered, sneaking closer to their target every second. "Hattori-san," the other detective whispered. "Get back here. If he sees you-" But the impulsive Western detective was too far away to heed the warning, both physically and in state of mind. Muttering a curse, Rin forged ahead, trying to reach the other teen before he made a deadly mistake. But she was forced back as a group of kids skipped between them, and Hattori had seized the sleeve of their suspect before she could object. As he jerked the man's arm, he turned, and Heiji froze. Rin surged forward, hoping she could keep the detective from getting killed. Hattori only stared at the face of his suspect. "You..." (OK! Next chapter we go back to Conan and his companions, as well as the group who is looking for Hattori. If you want to try and deduce the meaning of the culprit's code, here are some hints from the message: - It's a place he would know better than a Tokyo-resident. - The fact that it's an 'easy example' is important. - There is a key in translation between japanese, english, and another language's meaning of something. - He has a long time to crack the code for a reason. )

I went looking to see if there's anything more to be hyped up about this movie and found this little trailer clip that was apparently attached to the end of episode 653. Okay, let's see, Ryusuke Higo mentions Shinichi's name. Guess no movie would be complete without some Shinichi hype, eh? I'm not getting my hopes high about this, but that's just me. Anyway, as the trailer progresses Conan is back to his old gravity defying antics again. But then what's this?! Conan is standing in front of burning carnage with blood dripping down his face! We might be looking at an action packed ending after all. And then the trailer concludes with a montage of random people (including Haibara) kicking soccer balls. Nothing much except some hype builders. It's a relief to at least see some new scenes though. All the other mini-trailers just reused the old scenes from the long trailers. Here's another short trailer you might also want to check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgWAVWjdo-M It's bad quality, but at the very end there are a few more fiery explosions. And here's one final trailer that features a few interesting things: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5Qeuf5f_7U Other than a few new scenes with Kogoro and the culprit, the thing that caught my eye was at the very start of the trailer. Though it's blurry, the score on the board is quite clearly 0-1 when every other trailer featured the score as 0-0. This may or may not be important, but I decided to put it out there anyway.

Nah, it's Baro, an insult, mixed with Anokata.

Another drawing! Pls comment Neji

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.
