I agree with this selection. As expected, there's no episode on this list after the Red Wall Case (Episodes 558–561). As for my own... well, I like quite a few of them. Pretty much any manga case will do, be they for characters, mystery, or the main plot, itself.

Ooh, Conan's a girl, now? Stop the presses! Can't wait for the english version, and glad we get one next week!

Coming from a veteran like you, it's an honor. What do you think will get us on the right track? (Again with the questions, I know, so, before you ask, here's what I think: from my reading of the fandom of this forum and DCTP, answers need to be given and mysteries need to be revealed at a faster pace–which is the crux of fans' issues with DC, right now: the story needs to move at a faster pace–as for "just bad" cases, be they AO or by Gosho, I realize that they are inferior to the ones lauded by the community, but for me, personally, it takes a lot to get me to call something "just bad," but for others, it doesn't take much for them to call something "just bad.")

Thanks for this–I hope I'm not imposing or anything.

So what was needed in the Bourbon arc was a stronger connection to the events of the Kir arc, and the cutting of many cases—524-557, 562, 565-577, 582-609, 614-630, 633-645, 648-666, 669-698, 705-711, 718-766, in particular? (I excluded Detective Boys Vs Robber Group and The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen, unless you'd rather have them not there, either–in any case, you want those 211 episodes removed)

No–I've been reading these forums and the ones over at DCTP for a while, but I didn't start posting on them 'til recently.

If I recall correctly, you said at some point that you're going to leave in 3 years, unless DC ends by then–do you mean this website, or the DC fandom, and then come back, years later, to see how it ended?

As I've been reading these forums, as well as the ones on the DCTP, on which I've posted this poll, as well, I've gotten a sense of cynicism/disappointment/frustration when it comes to the past couple years of Detective Conan stories—essentially, I see that the Bourbon arc isn't too well liked. There are probably some who think that Detective Conan has been slipping in quality since the Vermouth arc climax. I am interested in when you think Detective Conan began to slip in quality, if at all—I've enjoyed the whole story, but, when it comes to fiction, I can be quite forgiving—and why, as well as to what degree. I would prefer detailed explanations as to why, but if you feel you'd be repeating yourself and don't want to do so, then either provide a link to a prior detailed explanation, or insist that I look it up, myself. EDIT (1/5/17): I will now be including the Rum arc, since we're nearly 100 Files into it. It and any other arc is fair game. Users may select two options if they so desire, in case a user thinks that there was more than one lapse in quality. Finally, users can change their vote at any time, in case reflection/discussion changes a user's mind. Feel free to ask any questions if you're confused by the poll or the question. EDIT (1/5/17): Please see my 1/5/17 post for an update to the poll.
