  1. Exactly, you simply can't drag something out this long without it becoming ridiculous

    It depends. Dragged out pure comedy works fine (Shin-chan, Kochikame). However, dragged out romance comedy does't, which is why most pure romance mangas are usually not that long : Maison Ikkoku, Rose of Versailles, Touch, Kimagure Orange Road etc...


  2. Because, it's AWESOME! I think corpse should be the highest ranking though.

    When you hit 500, then make yourself a corpse. You wouldn't have to worry about certain people... CarpetCrawler

    I agree, being a corpse in DC is an honour. If it could be killed by Vermouth and not by your average DC murderer, that would be even better. :grin:


  3. The thing is you consider that DC's timeline has to be coherent with the plot in evey single aspect (time must progress or it will seem that APTX brings immortality...except many characters didn't take APTX and yet they appear immortal to the reader) while I think (and Gosho too apparently) that it only has to be adapted to the writing of numerous cases, the influence on the plot being secondary. The timeline is only there so the author can keep writing cases and it logically doesn't regard all the entire elements involved in the plot, but since the every-day cases are more important than the plot in terms of representativity, the rules are made and adapted for the former.


  4. I don't really pick favorites or non-favorites, but I have to say that ''Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure'' was the worst. Essentially, they took an idea for an AO 1 hr special and stretched it out over two hours. In other words: it was boring. At least the others I can sit through more than once. If they'd used the overall idea for Movie 11 in an AO, people might have liked it more, as there wouldn't be so many boring filler scenes.

    Feel free to disagree.

    I agree with this. They basically did the same thing with movie 14 except they took an idea from a half an hour AO.


  5. Sorry if I repeat what someone else says.

    It lacks

    -plot progression (too much filler episodes, though there hasn't been one lately)

    -complex murder tricks (like in the older episodes)

    -newer hour+ long specials (these were always interesting)

    Specials are history because of the time-slot change in april 2009.


  6. A plot hole is a plot hole, no matter how you look at it. You may find it "idiotic", but I think that it's enough to be a serious problem, especially for a mystery manga like Conan. Less than 1 year has past in that universe, but there are dozens of Valentines, winters, than summers, than winters again; and so on... Does it hurt Gosho at all if he just advance the plot along with the timeline ? (E.g. making Conan up to grade 2, than 3.)

    Furthermore, it will be very incredible if the total time that takes Conan to defeat such a syndicate is only one year.

    Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot did not age, yet they were the 2 main characters of one of the best known mystery writers of all time. Obviously, Gosho isn't Agatha Christie but saying the mystery genre has to have ageing characters in order to avoid a serious problem isn't a valid point. By the way, there has only been 2 Valentines (episode 6 was a filler). As for the seasons, of course they change since Gosho basically draws what's outside his window. However the characters don't age because it they did the whole purpose of Conan going back to his teenage body would be defied. How would the characters having grown 1 or 2 years in a 17 year span be less 'problematic' anyway ?

    All in all, forget the timeline.

  7. Oh yeah... That reminds me.

    I don't like the most serious plot hole of the series: Timeline.

    Can't believe that 1 year hasn't even past... <_<

    That's probably the complaint I have always found to be the most idiotic of all. I don't understand why people are so annoyed by the timeline when dozens of comics, manga and anime just treat time the same way and when it's been established for years that it works that way.

  8. Eri was with Kogoro who's a more important character than Haibara. Taking out the introduction and the sponsors at the end, an opening lasts around 1 minute and 20-25 seconds. Once you take out all the time dedicated to the protagonists (which makes sense, they're the main characters after all), there's not that much time left for all the others. If you look at it that way, 6 seconds is fine.
