    To be frank, I think Ai and Conan have more things in common than Conan and Ran.While there are many factors which brings people together, one is commonality, believe it or not. Plus, I like the Ai character better, especially because it seems like the author bothered to develop her more than he did to Ran. Another reason I kind of don't like Conan's relationship with Ran is because of one of the cliches of romance I hate the most, that is, the whole childhood friendship thing. This device is a fantasy, probably something that makes people feel good, and while Detective Conan is a show mired with fantasy, the childhood friendship fantasy really grates me. Also, relationships are dynamic, and the roles that a character fills in the web of friendships and relationships are always shifting or morphing in some ways. And those changes are unconfortable, and probably it is the reason why people latch on to such devices. It just feels so much better if you were meant to be with someone, no matter the obstacle. But staying separated for such a long time ought to change things.

    Yeah yeah, I know, I am applying the realities and complexities of life to an enjoyable detective show for a general audiences of kids and teenagers that wasn't meant to be serious. It's just that when I examine works of fiction, the ones that confront such realities almost always turn to be more enjoyable and rewarding. And it can be done even in children's story, like Bridge to Terabithia, which was a movie that I really enjoyed. Yeah yeah, I know, I am just dragging on and on. :D

    I do Kuk Sool Won, which is basically an agglomeration of Korean martial arts. And blogging, I do it to get people interested into science. If at least one person gets interested, then I am happy. Of course, I occasionally post random stuff on video games, piano, and rant on the many problems of society. ^_^

    Well, for math problem, trust me, none of the ones I do during free time is like the problems we do at school. The kind of problems I solve are, in my opinion, more fun, and it has more to do with proofs. Some are easy, and some are hard, it depends. As for the science lectures, I am not talking just about college lectures, although I enjoy some of them. There are other talks on new discoveries and things that basically change one's perspective on how the world works, basically. Those are the kind I like. As for school, I have found math and science class mostly boring, so...

    In ep 221, Heiji's mother is introduced (and is he moving temporarily? he brought a bunch of luggages). Hey, by the way, wasn't Sato's first appearance in ep 130 of the Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case, with official introduction in Metropolitan Detective Love Story ep 146 along with Shiratori? Also, with a bit of research, I found out Takagi is introduced in ep 21: On location tv drama murder.

    These are more of character development episodes, but I will mention them just in case. ^_^

    Ep 217-218 Meguri's Locked Away Secret: Explains why he wears his hat. (yeah, 218 is not available, but I know Spanish, so I had to watch it in a Spanish dub)

    Ep 212-213 Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detectives: Mitsuhiko likes Ai!

    Talk about worst nightmare ever. Having to grow up into a teenager again, redoing elementary school gruntwork, establishing a different life and identity, cutting relations with the people he knew (what I mean by this is that he had to establish himself in a different role in their lives), abandoning his childhood friend, Ayumi still having a crush on him (it is still 10 years of difference in age, you know), and an overall blow to his ego (and poor Ai having similar problems, including guilt in having been the cause of the problem)... It just sucks all around. And poor attention deficient Shinichi, Hattori overran his spotlight. Overall, I thought it was an interesting examination of the future if Shinichi and Ai didn't succeed in getting the cure. Although the part of Ran wating that long was unrealistic, but hey, it was a dream, which in part was supposed to show Shinichi's fears and desire. Plus, dreams have a knack for being incredibly inconsistent. What I am thinking of, though, is that if he found out he could never go back as Shinichi, he would probably find a way to make others think he is dead, or something like that because in his thought, it would be selfish of him to make everyone wait forever or reveal his ID just so that the syndicate can get them. Other than that, I wonder how things would be with people who knows his identity: Agasa, Hattori, and his parents, when they learn that he could never go back to his old self again.

    -When you start saying "oeh oeh!" in frustration

    -When you start thinking of new ways to kill people

    -When you lamely start to imitate his deductions, and fail miserably

    -When you watch episodes after episodes until 5 in the morning

    -When you start dressing all in black, having an alcohol as a nickname/username, and acting secretly

    -When you start fighting with another fan on whether it is better for Kudo to end up with Ran or Ai

    -When you start humming randomly the tune that comes up when Conan explains his deductions

    -(if a cop) When you start inviting kids into crime scenes

    -When people start dropping dead around you in sophisticated premeditated murders

    What are your thoughts on the fact that murders always happen coincidentally around Conan? I ask this because it seems like all the murders seem to happen when he is around, not when someone already has been murdered and the case has been taken to Kogorou.

    Frankly, I wouldn't hang out with him, since he is always around some crime scene. Someday, I would end up dead if I went around him since I would be one of those unimportant character that could be gotten rid of. Since the inspector thinks Kogorou is the one who brings misfortune to whatever family he comes in contact with, I am impressed by the way the inspector and Ran keep hangging out with him. :D

    I only saw the first two. I plan to watch the third one after the fifth season. So far, my favorite of the two is the first one, which is the most action oriented Conan story I have ever seen so far. It is reminiscent of Die Hard with a Vengeance. I wonder if they borrowed the ideas from that?
