-sigh- I'm just going to reply to you in PM, and keep in mind the PM is meant not to be offensive, but it will sound harsh and for that I apologize in advance. Also, just to satisfy the post here, I'm not arguing the pairing but I'm attacking your evidence in the mere hope that you would bring forth a stronger argument. (more on that in PM)

Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to a wall with you ;; You do realize that you are stating evidence and the circumstances that aid in your defense, right? That is the quintessential definition of "circumstantial evidence." Insofar as you need a specific circumstance to make your evidence viable to be used in argument. Basically your entire argument is based off of inferences. I could frankly care less if teenagers are capable of love or not. Or what Shinichi really meant or not. None of that matters. My statement was that Ran interpreted it as a confession of love, that is all. I don't care what Shinichi thinks or thought, because we have no way of knowing that. And btw, unless we did, anything said at that point would be considered a stronger evidence towards either of our arguments. This however is impossible as it is a character in a work of fiction. PS: Please don't delete words when replying to me... I said "that too is circumstantial," that "is" is kinda vital to my sentence. Deleting (or shifting placement of) "is" changes the meaning of the sentence completely. PSS: I stopped shipping debates completely. I hate them. They don't do anything. I'll debate in plot if I have any viable input, but other than that no.

Yes, they are, yet the words for like and love is used interchangeably in Japanese (except for aishiteru, which is pretty explicit) And you can use said evidence, but that too is circumstantial, as we have no way of knowing the psychological state of Shinichi. None of that is direct evidence. Circumstantial evidence is evidence in which an inference is required to connect it to a conclusion of fact. And Direct evidence supports the truth of an assertion (in criminal law, an assertion of guilt or of innocence) directly, i.e., without an intervening inference. And my point was that you cannot know, you are not Japanese, and based on Ran's subsequent reaction she took it as a direct confession, as she told Kazuha that Shinichi confessed to her. Normally you don't confess liking, but love. Regardless of whether or not Shinichi actually does, Ran took it to assume that he was confessing his love to her. And before you even consider that I am defending any pairing, I'm not. I don't care anymore. Let Gosho continue to troll his fans and not complete emotional arcs and what not. I just want to see the bloody end of the series already!

And people still don't understand the difference between Sci-fi and War Action... This makes me sad

1) this question has been asked numerous times before. Using the search that is on every page would likely lead you to the answer you are looking for. 2) Asking on DCW, whom has had lawyers approach them before is not a good idea. Distribution of Conan is illegal,and thus merely linking can have lawyers appear again. 3) Ignoring 1 and 2, using Google would lead you to the answers that you are looking for. Please use the tools available to you to answer such questions in the future. Thank you.

I'm not denying anything else you are saying, but Japanese is never literal. It is a language based on implications and inflection. You can't use the exact translation of like instead of love as evidence to the contrary because it contradicts the constructs of the language. If they did use aishiteru more often, I'd give it to you, but they don't... They use suki and daisuki. Neither of which mean love. Basically throw that one argument out because it is the STANDARD for confession in Japan, and is usually inferred as love would in America. Really, love has become a cheap word in English... Oh right and context too. Where, to what and the situation in which something is said generally alters meaning in Japanese. Edit: direct copy from dictionary entry for suki: liking, fondness, love Please take note of that last one.

Well duh... That is the literal translation. The implied translation can't be used, because it is IMPLIED. But suki is usually used for confessions in Japan. Again its a cultural thing. And for the record, aishiteru is almost never used as far as I have been told.

Not fair. That is a cultural thing as well as a product of translation. In that situation it is essentially saying he loved her, hence why it was considered the confession. "Like" in Japanese, is not the same as "like" in English.

O_O Do we agree on something for once?! We must be in the Twilight Zone!

I do so hope you are joking... Really I do... (or at least uploaded the wrong file) I just downloaded from fileserve and the torrent... And... wow... I didn't think anything could out do XCHKS in terms of quality. 103mb, only half the subs there, only half the EPISODE THERE?! wmv?! So I apologize, this isn't a speed sub, this is something worse. I don't even know what it is. And the 644 on your site is DCTP's... I don't even... I can't... I'm done.

I actually like some of them, but they are still second rate IMO.

You know... They are too perfect EVEN WHEN COMPARED TO THE SERIES! I have no problems with suspension of disbelief, except when it goes BEYOND the source material. Which the DC movies ALWAYS do. Seriously... they take the character perfection way too far.

Oh see that is different. Gosho does observe and take specific things that he feels can be used. But that is far from movies and ovas being canon in any way. And I feel bad for you if you think a movie needs to be that way to be exciting. That is why the DC movies will always be second rate to me.

Hm... Wrong episode to make a point with. DCTP's came out 2 days ago. More impressive would have been to say 645, which has been out for two days now. So by your estimate, you should have already released it or getting ready to release it. Also, this sounds like a speed sub ordeal, just sayin' And yes... Copyright issues. The subbing and distribution of Detective Conan is a violation of Shogakukan, TMS and Gosho Aoyama Copyrights. So technically it is illegal to do so. Posting the links directly here could cause problems for the site whom were already contacted by lawyers for linking to videos (hence the watch section being down).

Yeah... No topic ever warrants 3 topics... ever. It just doesn't. Edit your post, add stuff to the current... Something... We don't need duplicate threads ever, they provide no benefit to anyone, and only serve to annoy because it breaks up the discussion. Now! On to what I think about this whole thing! Keep in mind this is all my opinion. First! I have no idea the demand for a DCW Wiki app. I cannot imagine it being too high, unless you have a group of friends that you debate with in person over DC with. The only people I can see who would need it are those who use their mobile phones a lot and are always on the go. But really, for most purposes Wikipedia serves most for their wiki needs on the go (and their mobile app is just lovely). I personally do not see the need for it. NEXT! That trailer... My reaction: Sorry, I couldn't resist. I've literally been waiting for an opportunity to use that clip! Seriously... We saw nothing of its functionality (and I'll get to that in a bit). A trailer is supposed to excite and highlight the key elements or at least the most exciting things. It is an interest builder. It really didn't do that. You need to show off what sets your app apart from just going to the actual site on your mobile browser. THIRD! The app itself (this will be a two parter)... From the trailer: It looks like its a zoomed in portal to the desktop site. That is it. No offense to you, but... that isn't good design for a few reasons. First is that, DCW especially, is very image intensive, that means high bandwidth. So those people with data limits will be at higher risk of using up their allotted data. Second is that it was obviously designed with desktop in mind. This makes it cumbersome to use efficiently as an app. Lastly... it isn't intuitive nor integrated into the Android ecosystem. Basically, what should be an actual wiki app, is just a glorified bookmark. My suggestion... Ask around at how to convert a wiki into a mobile format for an app. The trailer also failed to show what separated it from just a bookmark widget linking to the DCW wiki. Native editing capabilities, integrated search bar... nothing of that degree was shown (the latter is the kicker though, most wiki apps don't allow for editing but all that I have seen and used had some sort of search function) From what I found on the internet (that site where you can post demos of apps and make them downloadable or not) (this will be short, and I am also assuming its the same app) The DC Fan app I believe you called it... The wiki part is confirmed to what I thought, and really should be redesigned to a mobile format. The other two things on there... the video and manga... needs to be removed. That is violating copyrights, as well as the Market policy. It is not good. I hope you take my suggestions in stride and show an updated app that makes sense for a mobile platform. Scrolling should really be only up and down, not side to side. There are many ways to go about it, and you should find the best method that suits you and your programming and design style. As it stands, having a bookmark widget will do the same as your app. Best, Kyuu

IHKF is clearly amassing a AyuCon strike force. I think we should all be worried. Welcome to DCW <3

It isn't SOPA. I'll refrain from being condescending, but if you think this is SOPA, you have obviously not read Google's TOS for Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/static?gl=US&template=terms Read them. It isn't their fault, nor SOPA's that the video was taken down. You broke the TOS and committed a COPYRIGHT VIOLATION! It is not only their responsibility, but prerogative to ensure that all parties are satisfied and no laws are broken. Unfortunately for you, uploading Detective Conan videos is very illegal. I also request that mods lock this thread. There is absolutely no point to it.
