    you know you're addicted to Detective Conan when:

    you choose a DC image as your computer wallpaper

    you have a DC screensaver (or type "There's Only One Truth", etc in the marquee style screensaver)

    you write DC fanfiction

    you have some of the DVD's, and then buy a re-release just for the bonus items inside

    ...I'll probably think of more eventually :P

    I am reading the manga... just picked up volume 28 yesterday :)

    one of the things that really gets to me about the manga is that they followed the name translations that were set by the anime... I understand why they did it, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. On that note, I saw that they're changing Kazuha's name for the anime.... so I'm wondering how that will affect the manga, because as of right now, Kazuha is the only (semi)-main character with a Japanese name...

    I was really steamed when I saw the name they'd given Haibara... I was in the airport leaving Baltimore after Otakon when I picked up that volume, so I was just getting off the high from being around all of that, and I was about ready to scream -_-;

    [edit]

    oh... and a little bit of trivia I just remembered... I don't know if you guys know this, but the covers for the English version of the books are largely carried over from the original Japanese, by way of Conan's pose, the background photo, and the character in the keyhole on the back.... and Conan's disembodied head on the spine. The fun part about the spine is that after a while they begin to tell a story all their own, and it's pretty funny to track. A friend of mine told me about it when I started picking them up, so it's something I always look for :)

    Hi! I'm Kat, and welcome to DCW! :D You're a Rurouni Kenshin, Detective Conan, Fullmetal Alchemist fan--and a fanfiction writer to boot? I think we're gonna get along really well. XD

    Hope to see you around!

    oh... there are many more series besides those..... they were just the first ones that popped into my head

    I hope we do get along :) I look forward to it ^_^

    Hi, I'm Sara. I typically go by Southpaw, or southpawSara, or if both of those are taken, I've occasionally gone by KudoRan :)

    I started watching DC in... the summer of 2004, I suppose, when the English dub first started airing on adult swim. I'd watched several other shows before that (I started casually watching anime in June 1998, when CN started showing Sailor Moon), but aside from Rurouni Kenshin, I feel like DC was the first series that I really became obsessed with ^_^; I got through all the aired episodes, and a few of the DVD's after [as] moved it to the 5am slot (grrr...), but then I set it aside for a couple years, mostly just keeping up with the manga, movies, and OVA's.

    Within the last year or two, I decided to come back to the series, and catch myself up. I was primarily watching streaming video on another site, but it went down during the time I had decided to take a break and watch something different. That's how I found this site. And to be honest, I'm really glad I did. You guys did a great job, it's very organized, and looks really clean.

    Um... I saw in another thread that you guys were talking about writing. I love to read, and I do a little writing myself... mostly fanfiction and I'm an engineer, so I've written some technical papers too. Right now, I'm working on a DC/FMA crossover, which I'm posting at fanfiction.net... it's fun, but it's also really slow going because of all the other projects I work on :)

    I guess that's it... I'll cut off the rambling here -_-;
