Holmes was also a bare knuckle boxer, that had the skills to be a prize fighter.

Nope, just the anime and the manga as far as I know. Miyano-sama started translating one of the novels though. You can find the little that was translated over at the DCTP forums. I don't suspect that it will be finished though, as the last update was 3 years ago. (and by little, I do mean little, Miyano-sama did not get far due to life getting in the way)

Creating a perfect mask out of no where. I'd say that is flat out impossible. I agree though a lot of what he does is possible given enough prep time and help. I would go through everything to cite what is and is not plausible, but I'd rather not. (I don't have much time ) I think, on the whole, that arsene lupin is more believable.

Alright, so... good show Chek. All of that is well thought out and phrased. I can't say anything against it. Very valid points and yeah... It seems I mischaracterized Ran's emotions. I would still like to see her develop so that she snaps out of that sooner. It would be good development for her. I don't want her to get used to it, I just want to see her at least be able to dial 110 without Mouri or Conan telling her. Edit: One thing I missed. There is a time a place for everything. I wasn't suggesting stoicism. But there are techniques for controlling and redirecting emotions that are not negative. Most of the people I know tell stories, jokes, divert the situation, and try to generally make light of it (if its REALLY bad). Hell, one of them listens to calming music after every case and meditates on it if it was particularly disturbing. They just don't simply let it get to them when there is an active case. And they usually talk it out afterwards (except for that one guy who meditates, who is oddly seemingly the most level headed of the bunch, but lets face it, I can't peer inside his head, so what do I know) However, what I quoted actually proves my point that she can't control her anger. Which was pretty much my argument, that she can't control her emotions because she is very emotional. This is especially true of her anger. And yes, it is a character flaw, but that doesn't change the fact that attacking random people is wrong, and NOT controlling her anger at all. And had she gone through with any attack, in the real world, she would have been arrested for assault in every one of those cases. Attacking a waiter? The vet? Sera? And whomever else she has attacked without knowing the facts. It doesn't matter if it is a character flaw or not, she has issues controlling her anger, and she lets it get the best of her. Which is bad, especially considering that she is a martial arts champion. Again, she would also likely be arrested on the charge of use of excessive force along with assault.

@CC: Just to note, I'm speaking as a Martial Artist here. Ran is a competition fighter, and a well trained black belt. They are expected to have more control than the normal person (ergo, due to her training, she is NOT a "normal person,"). It is fine to be protective, but attacking someone that you aren't even sure of is not the martial art way, especially not when your friend just tells you to attack. In that situation, Ran would have been arrested for assault, no matter what the circumstance (unless the perpetrator was physically attacking Sonoko) due to her training. Martial artists, especially tournament champions, are held at a higher standard. She could have severely hurt the the perpetrator (leading to an excessive force charge, along with assault). It was not Ran's place to attack, and she would have likely been dealt with more severely because of her training. Not only that, but the guy felt her up, not attacked her. You confront, not attack people like that. Ran handled the situation poorly. She was lucky that she attacked Sera, a trained JKD practitioner whom was able to defend herself. The rest of what you said. There are two different issues... The first is controlling emotions. My argument is that Ran does not control her emotions. Perhaps our definitions of controlling emotions is different, but I was taught that controlling your emotions doesn't mean that you don't have them, but rather is the ability to direct that energy to whatever end the person whom is feeling that emotion wishes. Basically you use the emotion to either deal with what is making you sad/angry/[insert other emotions here]. I don't pretend to be strong, because I'm really not. Again, I had to go to counseling for one of those aforementioned deaths. I chose however to not let that stop me and I logically worked through everything so that I could direct it in a positive way. In that sense, yes, I am an anecdotal case. I am well aware of that, I was merely using it as an example. And the other example was merely countering her example. And please don't tell me that everyone I know, all 10 people at the ME's office, is a unique case. Perhaps they had similar training or the same mentality, but still, that example's only purpose was to provide an anecdotal counterargument to her anecdotal argument, nothing more. Please don't take it any other way. The second part was that that crying need not impede your ability to act. It does with Ran, which doesn't need to be the case. Most of the other cast including the DBoys seem to be able to handle it just fine. I'd prefer it if Ran developed somewhat so that she would be able to deal with it better. She doesn't have to get used to it, its not in her character to do that. But at least have the frame of mind to be able to pick up the phone without being told. She has seen countless deaths, it is not too much to ask that she develop at least enough so that she can call the cops while crying without being told by Conan or Kogorou. @Madeline: I'm sorry, but... I was defending my position. You didn't have to take it personally as you did. Usually when debates happen each side defends their position. It isn't about being right or wrong. If you want me to understand your position, then do it in a manner that explains it. You don't need to talk down to me, and I consider that response offensive for all the wrong reasons. I never actually suggested any of that. And I'm really sorry it read like that, but you brought in anecdotal evidence, and so I did the same. Regardless, this is a debate, so naturally I'd write things that support my position and try to discredit yours. It is how debates work.

Again, that is not why I dislike her. I was pointing out that she lets her emotions get the best of her. It is fine to cry if it doesn't prevent you from doing what is needed. People can cry and have head enough to call the police without being told. And it is CONNECTED to a negative emotion ... usually. Sadness, as natural as it is, is a negative emotion (considering Ran, how many times has she cried out of happiness (yes it has happened, but more less often than something negative like over Shinichi or a death)). I never said it is bad, just as anger is not bad, but still negative. It depends on how you use that energy, and both while negative can be directed to something positive. You can either do something beneficial, nothing or something negative with any emotion. With Ran and crying it is USUALLY the "do nothing." Yes, she has in the past kicked a culprit, but that is not right when she is crying, and is usually after she has come to terms with what is happened. Ran also doesn't get seriously angry lately either, she is usually just annoyed at her father for drinking, but nothing more. Oh and... Perhaps not always breaking something, but she has let her anger lead to attacking someone who was innocent recently. You know... Attacking Sera was not cool. She did that because she was angry for her friend, but instead of surveying the situation like Conan did, she chose to IMMEDIATELY attack her. EVEN WHEN SERA SAID "WAIT" BECAUSE IT WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING! In Martial Arts, fighting is NEVER the first course of action, especially not for revenge for a friend. Martial arts is SELF-DEFENSE, the only person who had any right to throw a kick or punch in that situation was Sera who was fighting Ran in SELF-DEFENSE. Sonoko had a right to slap the guy or knock him away, but Ran was out of line attacking like that. Call the police if anything, it IS illegal. Ran clearly let her emotions get the best of her, and if she had attacked ANYONE else, they likely would have ended up in the hospital with the level of her attacks. Are you saying that is right? Please say you aren't, because that is considered ASSAULT and is illegal. Two wrongs don't make a right. (And that, to be honest, WOULD be a reason for me to dislike her) And I know people in the ME Office. They all have their ways of dealing with the amount of death they see, but none of them break down and cry and allow their sadness prevent them from doing their jobs. Does it bother them? Certainly, but not to the point where they can't do their job. Each of them direct it to something positive, or at least try to whenever possible. If they didn't they probably wouldn't be able to handle the job. Oh and for the record, I have lost more than the average amount of people in my life for various reasons, and I never broke down and cried or allowed my emotions from preventing me from doing what I needed to do. I talked out my emotions, went to counseling for one death in particular, but never once allowed that sadness to stop me from performing what I needed. I usually directed that emotion into martial arts teaching and practice, or my studies. And I never said she ONLY cries, but when she does, it is the only thing she does do. You can cry, but at least call the police while you are crying. Have the frame of mind for that at least.

Sorry to say, but I totally disagree. Having control over your emotions means that you control where you direct that energy. Crying, is quite frankly, a waste of energy and does nothing productive. It only makes you feel better, doesn't rectify the situation at all that made you cry. Detectives can feel sadness or sorrow over a murder, but they tend not to cry. Instead they direct that negative energy into putting every fiber of their being into catching the person responsible. Their emotions become their drive to do what needs to be done. If they break down and cry, nothing gets done, and all that happens is that they feel slightly better, but the end result is that the murderer gets away. Ran breaks down and cries every single time Shinichi runs off. She stops and cries. She doesn't try to stop him, understand, go with him (granted all those things would hurt Gosho's story), she just stands there and cries. That to me is letting your emotions get the best of you, which she does a lot. She gets angry? SHE BREAKS SOMETHING. Please, tell me, how exactly is that controlling your emotions? Someone dies? She cries, and has to be told by Conan or Kogorou to call the Police and an ambulance. It is only then she snaps out of it for a brief moment and does what needs to be done. If your emotions interfere with what you should do, you obviously have no control over them. If anger leads to you breaking a wall or a desk, you have no control over them. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with crying, because it IS a physiological reaction, but that is *all* she does in some situations. Crying should not impede you, but it does impede Ran. She is far too emotional. You can show your emotions too without letting them impede you or directing it negatively. As in directing anger to a negative reaction is not controlling, that is being controlled. (BTW, none of this relates to why I dislike Ran, which I have already posted in depth over)

I have a strange feeling there is already a topic like this... Can't be sure though... I do recall making a list of nostalgic shows, and I'm pretty sure I posted it here.

Technically DCW is just linking to Amazon, which is the Case Closed DVDs. There is English Dub as well as Sub with the original Japanese Audio as far as I know.

To answer your questions in order... No, it is not OK, that is a violation of copyrights (trust me when I say it has been tried) The franchise you would need to negotiate with to gain rights to stream it would depend on what you plan to stream... Funimation if you plan to stream Case Closed (Basically anything from an NA released DVD), or Shogakukan/YTV/Gosho Aoyama if it is the untouched Japanese R2 DVDs. Though, please note that even in either case, it falls under all party's jurisdiction, and if the other party was not properly notified, they can stop the stream and fine you for breach of their personal copyright. Basically, if you get permission from Funi, YTV and Shokakukan must also be made aware and sign off on it (they usually do if it is centralized to America, but streaming is global so you would have to make it a country limited stream). As for your final query, no. DCW has had its share of issues in the past with copyright infringement for having the Watch section. I severely doubt they would be so kind the second time around. That is unless you get the proper permission from the copyright holders and make it clear you intend to broadcast it from sites x,y,z and have a portal through the fan site and wiki at DCW, and present the proof of permission to Maurice. Then, and only then, would it be OK for DCW. That all said, as a former member of a college Anime Club, I will tell you, that Funimation can and will likely say no. How do I know this? We asked this same question because the founder of our club was in Cali, and we requested of them CLOSED streaming rights (as in only he would be able to see the stream) and they said the rights for debuting Anime in a college club did not extend to streaming, nor would they allow it. The PR rep didn't say any specifics, but she said they made it quite clear what the limitations were, and it was only for live public viewing. Perhaps their policies have changed, but considering that they use Hulu and their own private streaming service for select series, I highly doubt they would allow it. Best, Kyuu

NOOOOO! The cake is a lie! Well... That explains why Moho likes me... I critique everything, and sometimes everyone. Welcome Neko! I am Kyuuketsuki, usually referred to as Kyuu. I have ventured here from the mystical land of DCTP! There I am the resident Forensic Scientist and Staff Member... While here, as you can see, I am the Resident Mad Scientist. Fear not though, my experiments don't hurt much =D. You can ask anyone! I hope you enjoy your stay here. And fear not, you'll soon be crazy too. ... Wait... ... Is going a crazy a good thing? I think it is! Welcome again!

I would have posted it when I heard of it, but I really don't like the opening song. The weakest part of the show IMO. However, now listening to it, it is a bit better. They could do with out the repetition of the title, and they should have kept the various VA parts in. Nope, about a day or two now.

Fixed... that's 4 evers, which is like... forever. <3 Also, Yes, Steins;gate is amazing. Drink Dr. Pepper! It is for the intellectual elite!

Indeed it is... But I'm suspicious now, after watching the On-demand version on the Hub. It is untouched. So... it could be Apple being Apple, controlling EVERYTHING again. I'm slightly hopeful. Would explain the poor quality of the edit and the shameful acting, almost unlike AB doing RD. Really, she sounds almost nothing alike from the original.
