Decline in the Quality of Detective Conan?

[Decline in the Quality of Detective Conan?]

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)

Also, some kind of fight between Akai and Amuro? What type of confrontation did you have in mind?

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.

Please see my 1/5/17 post for an update to the poll.
