Preferability is also a main factor in a good relationship. Throughout the series, Shinichi grew closer to Ran and learned more about what she is capable of doing. There was an episode when someone told her that she would be a great mother one day, and Shinichi couldn't help but smile. Shinichi also loves the fact that Ran is an amazing cook. For example, that one episode with Shinichi's "first love" reveals that Shinichi (indirectly) prefers a woman that can cook well. The girl even believed that Ran was more suitable for him since Ran's lemon pie was better than hers. Shinichi's admiration for Ran's qualities (her selflessness, her ability to cook and kick ass in karate, her strong will) grows stronger as the story goes on. When it comes to appearance, I don't even need to say anything about what Shinichi thinks of Ran's appearance ("Special sexy shot" scene appeared in my head). Furthermore, the strong bond between them is quite astonishing. They can sense certain things about each other that other couples cannot (e.g. the Shirigama case when Ran sensed that the man wasn't the real Shinichi). And their childhood only brought them together; I wouldn't say their childhood is the underlying source of their love. In my opinion, it is when they got to learn more about each other that made them develop feelings. As for ShinShi, I don't see the same connection that Shinichi and Ran have. I see Shinichi and Shiho as nothing more than friends. Their near equal intelligence is best suited for a friendship rather than a relationship. Sorry, but Ran is the obvious choice for Shinichi.

I admire Lady Gaga's carelessness about how others perceive her. She does whatever she wants and doesn't give a damn about whether she is loved/despised by her audience (she does have a heart for her fans though). Lady Gaga is a talented piano player and has a naturally amazing voice (unlike other mainstream artists out there today). Although her music videos and live performances are provocative and controversial, her flamboyant style and personality give her the qualities of being a popstar. I'm not a big fan of her music though. I just respect her as an artist.

I actually disagree. Ran is more suitable for Shinichi, in my opinion, because "opposites attract". By that, I mean a relationship between Shinichi and Ran would balance out A LOT better than with the near equals of Shinichi and Shiho. Two brainiacs together would enforce constant clashing with one another (especially between intellects like these two). It's like pairing two very outspoken people together; they wouldn't be compatible (that also goes for pairing two very shy and reserved people, which would be the most quiet and unromantic relationship ever). That is why BALANCE is key. Shinichi and Shiho would almost seem as if they were "competing" with one another rather than "intertwining". Ran, on the other hand, can fulfill all of Shinichi's needs that he himself is not capable of doing (e.g. cooking, cleaning, encouraging, expressing undivided love). I can't imagine Shiho meeting these qualifications that Shinichi needs in his life as much as Ran can. It's like my parents: My dad is quite conservative (but humorous at some points), very handy when it comes to repairing and fixing, unbelievably intelligent, and is overall a hardworking man. Contrarily, my mother is generous, considerate, quite ditsy when it comes to cleverness, an extraordinary cook, determined when it comes to maintaining the house, and a person that lights up a room with her love. They are almost complete opposites, yet they would undeniably love each other to the ends of the Earth (next year is their 25th anniversary). I'm not a love guru or anything, but considering how well near opposite personalities can adapt with one another proves to me that Ran is PERFECT SOULMATE for Shinichi.

You're accuracy and shading are ALWAYS AMAZING. *enough said* +1

The only two main characters who I rarely (if any) see interact with one another. Why yes, that would be interesting and new.

I wonder how life was created on Earth... God or science?

You can watch it here

First impression in front of an "average Joe" (people who have a good/bad first impression of you, but their first impression will not have a drastic effect on your life) = not very important First impression in front of "important people" (job interviewer, judge for a contest, talent scouts, etc) = very important First impression in front of ponies = THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVER

Pretty much whenever Shinichi appears, there is a great ShinRan moment. Some notable ones I remember are the Desperate Revival arc (when they were about to kiss during the play and when they were on a date), episode 523 "What she truly wants to ask" (when Ran clutched Shinichi's arm whilst refusing to let go even after he transforms back into Conan), and the London arc (Shinichi's awaited confession). Other ShinRan moments I liked are flashback appearances and do not really portray love progression, but nevertheless are memorable. (e.g. Shinichi's first case, New York City case, and the little Shinichi and Ran adventure)

You being called "science freak" by IdentityUnknown is like Shinichi being called "deduction freak" by Ran.

Subway. (all regular footlongs are $5 this month :mrgreen:)

But I bet you would like it if she was also a good cook.

Yes, I would definitely love it if a girl knew how to cook. Now that I think of it, my dream girl sounds a lot like Ran.

No need to tell me. All I wanted was her to sincerely apologize for her mistake. And if she's truly sorry, than that's that. I'm done. As for AokoNakamori: Sorry, if I hurt you. All I wanted was for you to admit your wrongdoing. And if something as drastic as "offending you" provokes you to apologize, then I am rather glad to give you such a wake-up call.

"Lol no" meaning that me being a ShinRan fan has little to do with your great drawing. ^^
