    Keep in mind, I'll probably update that post with new ideas.

     

     

    Right—let's see...

     

    Maybe Shinichi/Conan and Shiho/Ai have an agreement—maybe she's agreed to tell him a certain thing or two about the BO (and he insisted she not tell him the obvious that he could've deduced—rather, he's looking for specific points of information he can actually act upon, if not in a manner befitting Reunion with the Black Organization (238–242/176–178) or Contact with the Black Organization (380–383/309–311), then in close range. In return, Shiho/Ai will either want in on his action (like in Reunion), perhaps because because she'll tell him about info relating to APTX, or she'll want him to have a cool down period of not going after the BO, after the action is over, and will punish him by lengthening his wait for info should he get too zealous, for her taste.

     

    Alternatively, Shinichi/Conan and Shiho/Ai could have a bi-weekly or monthly competition—it can be about anything (including masquerading as a school project, even), and the winner will get what they want, in terms of getting and using information to take action against the BO. So, naturally, Shinichi/Conan will want to do just that, should he win. Should Shiho/Ai win, however, he has to back off, and tell her about all the things he did behind her back (especially given his lack of communication with her, post-Kir arc, and especially post-Mystery Train (post-818–824/701–704)).

     

    Of course, either Shiho/Ai will not know who the Boss/Anokata is... or how about this? Maybe she has some idea—some stories to tell—that Shinichi/Conan can then deduce the Boss'/Anokata's identity from... and like with what she told him about Rum, it may not be enough info to figure out who they are, on its own... but it would be more for him (and us) to go on than ever before.

    sure, great ideas are appreciated

    well, in this case left out

     

    subtle but efficient 

    and the problem is communication and trust

    i mean have they not proven themselves to each other by now 

    im sure she is holding a lot of stories for herself

    they could be like nothing to do with them, could be a spark that triggers a lot of thing

     

    this is good stuff

    I guess he is still cleansing him self from the OKC plays they drew for him.

    He will be better once the playoffs start

     

    Im for not trading any of the players except Mozgov, deng, mo, nick

    i would love if we kept the young ones

     

    maybe while JR is out

    the thing is JR plays a lot, who knows how they will work efficiently when having to share minutes

    Its fine. They are a great team and will figure something out at the end of the season. But Green was right, Steph and KD should play more pick and pops/roll/go/oops.

    At this point i think the ball should be in KDs hands, just so that he can make something that will break the blockade in his head. But Steph has to play better too, not just score.

     

    Im happy and angry with the lakers. Ok they are still a work in progress but at this point you gots to play some D better

     

    Bucks need more depth then this

    Parker and Giannis aint enough

     

    So im wondering what the cavs will be like now

    will JR fit in with Korver

    Another way would be to tackle all the things from each arc simultaneously—for example, have characters introduced in the Rum arc introduced in the Intro/Conan arc, and have multiple major mysteries running parallel to each other (and these are suggestions I can think of, at the moment):

    • Do what Episode One did, in terms of introducing certain characters (i.e., Hidemi/Rena/Kir, Chianti and Korn)—and I say certain characters because you have to be careful with spoilers.
      • To speak on spoilers for a moment—if characters from, say, the Kir arc and the Bourbon arc are introduced as early as the first 175 Files/128 Episodes, then you can't do what Episode One did (i.e., show Bourbon's face, or clearly reveal that Vermouth is not Jodie, and that Jodie and Shuichi are both FBI, like in that scene at the end). 
    • Introduce the other Tokyo MPD characters earlier
    • Introduce Tomoaki earlier
    • Introduce Heiji earlier, and have Kazuha appear with him
    • Have the who is Vermouth (Jodie or Tomoaki) plot going on while Eisuke is present
    • Have the Boss' phone number plot going on alongside the Koji Haneda plot

    One could also take plot/character development elements from one case and combine them with another case (again, these are suggestions I can think of, at the moment):

    • Have Hidemi/Rena/Kir be directly involved the TV Station Murder Case (102–104/31), and have that be a setup for Black Impact and reveal some of the information that will come during the Kir arc portion of events.
    • Having the events of 341–343/277–278, with Jodie, Heiji and Shinichi/Conan lead right into the events of 361–365/291–293.
    • Having Shinichi's/Conan's observations about Mary and Shiho/Ai from both 939–941/843–844 and 942–944/847–848 be in either 928–930/827–828 or 951–953.

     

    Like the Whereabouts of the Dark Photograph case in the Kir arc (582–584/484–485), right?

     

    I'm sure she knows a heck of a lot about the BO, but is holding back because she thinks Shinichi/Conan will take it and get himself killed—she doesn't think her knowledge, alone, would be enough to bring him down.

    Man those are some great ideas, i never gave it that much thought.

    I also love he multiple arcs crossed into one

    Really really great ideas

     

    Yes, just like the dark photograph. That one is my third top investigation regarding any info on the BO. 

    Right behind The Chris/Vermouth one and contact with the BO.

     

    I get that, but this is fiction and the writer, clever as he is, can come up with something to protect him just in case.

    So if the Bourbon arc had ended before the "second half," would the series have avoided what you saw as its biggest decline, up to where we are, now?

     

     

    Well, DC's doing pretty well for itself for a 23 year old series. Some are even saddened (look at the crowd reaction to such a question during his Singapore Q&A) by the prospect of DC ending. So, certainly, a contingent of the fandom is going to leave, as the years go by, if they are of the opinion that not only is DC dragging, but its execution of such protraction is dragging.

     

     

    Underwhelming, basically?

     

    So there's not even a slight chance that, when Gosho finally does the climax, you'd actually get the feeling you'd get during the good old days of DC (94 or 97 to 03 to 07), again? To put it another way, do you think there's no way for him to live up to the expectation people will have for the finale, even if he brings his A+ game?

     

    Nah, it's fine—if anything, I'm the odd one out, in terms of how I type my posts. 

    I dont know. Maybe. If Gosho didnt take that way, then what way could he have taken. Other then dont do the Bourbon arc and go straight to RUM. Also i did notice that some of his cases there have been simillar to the cases he had done beffore (i posted that somewhere )

    And i get it. Its hard to come up a case. Im not gonna hold him for that.

     

    I do agree there

    Some will leave and come come back when news comes out that it is coming to an end like naruto. Some are here from start to finish. And also there are like new kids every day finding out about it and watching it, but might not liking where its going or love where its going.

     

    Yes,it is underwhelming to some degree.   

    He most likely will bring his A game and if it goes as great as one would hope then i would be somewhat happy. Not like i would gave been 4 years ago. But my love for it will go down even more as the years go by. 

    Also i would have wanted if things went with the BO a bit diff then the usual. And no one in the FBI questions why a kid was with them. He could have searched around in piscos personal life a bit. Its not like everyone he knew was BO, he must have talked to someone and let something slip. Make haibara tell you stuff. There could have been much more "creative" ways then what we have been accustomed to see.

     

     

    I find them neat and well organized

    So, basically, it started to be a drag in the late 780s, nearly 170 Files into the Bourbon arc... and then there was 100 more Files of you waiting for it to end. :wacko: Props to you for hanging in there that long.

     

     

    In your case, you have to deal with AOs, too—that's worse than someone who just reads the manga and/or just watches the adaptions of the manga cases. Even more props to you for hanging in there from Episode 509–Episode 655 (just under 150 episodes).

     

     

    You mean flaws/problems that are characteristic of/unique to Gosho?

     

     

    So the resolution of this "setting and setting" and "more mysteries" has just taken too long—it's likely the reveals won't be worth your waiting time, right?

    1. Well

     The, lets call it the first half of the arc, had like good bad good bad good bad stuff. So i could live with it. Not always something i liked but half and half was better then later on. Lets face it anything that lasts this long loses its magic. After and with Holmes where more of the bad, came then the video site and then came mmmmmh

     

    2. I used to love the AOs right up until the kir arc. Sure there have been some horrible ones but that could be overlooked (at that time).later on it was like do you even care. And i HATE THE ONES WITH ANIMALS. Not with goro, he is nice.

     

    3. Yes

    Cause if you do the same thing for over 20 years it gonna loose the crowd.

    And that was why i had a lot of love for Toriyama who did DB/Z. Cause he knew there was no point in going beyond Buu. It was so well done (and i like the buu saga cause it gave a decent ending for how long that great thing ladted). Dragon ball super is so bad. Its like lets make no sense whatsoever and put it out (just mi opinion).

     

    4. You know when you mom is making your favorite food and you are so happy (in my case meat pie) but it took longer to make for some reason. And when its served you, well lets face it you will eat it, but it doesnt teste like you thought it would.

    Thats how i feel. I still think he puts out good mysteries. But its not the same feel for it like it was before, in my case, bourbon. And RUM   is also the same. Granted there have been better thungs there but its the same. 

     

    Sorry bout this type of writing.

    The ohone is limited

    And that's what Antiyonder and I were discussing—how long can Gosho keep going like this until he starts losing people (though at least some would probably just take a break and come back, later)? This is a prime case of, "the stagnation did a lot of damage."

     

    So at what point in the Bourbon arc did you go, "God, this has stretched way too thin... when will this end?" Was there a specific point when this feeling started and then just built up from there, or did a certain Bourbon arc case bring such a thought about?

     

     

    i have read id 

    i have thought that for a long time as well

     

    So after the Kir arc, which i was satisfied with ( excluding the AOs which were bad mostly), i was waiting for big things. After the clash series i was like man things will start to get heated. OK, so hes setting thing for the next thing and setting and setting and more setting. Anyway, i didnt like Holmes revelation then there were a some bad  and some great/good afterwords, but if i had to pick like the definitive point ill chose after the deign of poison and illusion

    There were a lot of stuff i just found unnecessary and the AOs didnt help either. It took to long to. In short the arc was just like the previous one with some things polished. The RUM one is decent, well, its good, but it suffers the same problems as every other arc. But this long run is so long. I mean you would think that after all these years more mysteries would have been reveled, but he keeps piling them on ( its unsatisfying ).

    A bit late to the party.

    RUM arc has been a step up from the Bourbon arc for me.

    But what, i guess, will always be the minus in this manga/anime is how long it is. I dont get to enjoy DC like i once had. Its greatness is stretched thin after so much...i have to say unnecessary things. Other stuff that i complain about everyone knows so not to go in to detail.

    I was hoping that after Kir he was going for the end and thats it.

    After RUM he has no other way to go but the BO/boss arc, it just has to go that way.

    And i would love if we didnt get Conan in every episode or chapter.

    I would love to see a Eri, Vermouth, Chiba case where they do it without conan being present case or an MPD case, even a day in the BO. 

    Its like every time i watch the police is incapable of solving anything and i know they are smarter then seen in the show.

    Also, the decline for me started in the Bourbon arc, i dont know, i guess i was disappointing in the truth of that the end wasnt coming any time soon

    True, but that doesn't mean one should instantly dismiss criticism either.  At the very least give one's critique a thorough reading and if you find it's disagreeable, then directly rebuke it rather than just ignoring or dismissing outright.

    You dont have to tell me twice

    Its just that i have seen where this is not the case

    A lot of times

     

    The name of this topic is soooo....

    Does anything deserve to be called the greates ( speaking ofcours about stuff like DC )

    It all your personal preference

     

    @SamKel.

    Im not disputing that DC wont down as one of the best and a clasic given its looooong run and to your point not adventure themed

    But to me, and i do love DC  a lot and think of ot as one of my favorites, its strengths are also its weaknesses

    One person did it in practically one day, and neither English nor Japanese is their native language.

     

    And, at times, its no worse than:

     

     

    One is more likely to have grammatical issues like that when English isn't one's native language—that's just the way of things, especially in a solely text-based format.

    the way i write is my choice

    we are not in school grading this stuff, not to come of rude or anything. I have been watching friends lately and picked up some chandler stuff

    and

    its not the translation that bothered me cause i can understand  DC japanese to some degree since its always the same old story

    what bothered me was the speed of the subs or sometimes they werent there to begin with and that throws you off
