Detective Conan - 557 (X) Review

Recommended Posts

Note #1: I often like to put a mark in a title especially if it's original content of mind. This time, I put the (X) as my mark. I hope it won't bother you. (X) comes from the first letter of my username, Xevar.

Note #2: I apologize if I can't add the images in the topic. It ain't actually necessary for a review but it's pretty great having an image added. If you want to view it, I'll have to redirect you to my blog: Obaka-chan.

Note #3: I found out that most of the popular anime reviewers are known for their "images" added, their originally written plot summary based on an episode, and their great (good, bad) impression. If I may not be near to them, I apologize but that's my current aim, to be a great anime reviewer.

Note #4: If you dislike the font, I can't do anything about it at all. I prefer using the Verdana font, and I kind of find it neat when it's reviewing.

Note #5: I can't immediately add the images since it would take me time. Normally, it would be done the day later but I'll make an exception in Conan. I wouldn't add the images immediately but I will surely add them a few hours later.

Note #6: I don't actually like to edit the Wikipedia of Detective Conan so if you want to, you can make this as your basis.

Detective Conan - 557 (X) Review

Plot Summary:

Edogawa Conan was left at home; Ran and her father was busy. As Conan was being comfortable at home, Professor Agasa suddenly called him because their car suddenly stopped and something went wrong so they happen to call a towing truck for it to be carried back and have them stop at the bus stop but unfortunately for Agasa, he lost his wallet somewhere. Agasa asked if Mouri Kogoro could give them a ride towards home but he wasn't there so Conan thought up of the idea to have Okiya Subaru fetch them. Ai immediately took the phone and denied the idea of having them fetch due to his suspiciousness.

Fortunately for them, a car came with two people in it, a woman with sunglasses and a hat, and a man with a coat covering half of his face with his unshaved hair. They were invited by the woman without telling the man who was asleep. The woman, who was telling them to go in, said a strange line about the back being packed. Afterwards, Ai notices that there are holes matching bullet holes and a recently cleaned car but with blood stains between the seats. As they just got in Tokyo, they met a traffic. They continue to chat and seemingly, they are interested in Conan and went to the Detective Mouri Agency. As Agasa was about to say something about their relationship between Mouri, Ai stops her from doing so, and acts as though she suddenly felt sleepy and tired. The woman suggested them to sleep while they are in a car because it will take them time.

When Ai and Agasa pretended to sleep, they overheard their conversation about half-killing and overkilling. After hearing those words, they assumed that they are a dangerous group. By shock, the woman noticed Agasa awake and assumed he was listening to their conversation with a glare look. In a sudden, they guy also made a strange line to fly back. It surprised them a lot what those words meant and riding in a dangerous group.

They got on a diner after making their minds. As the two of them with Agasa talked, Ai was excusing herself to go the bathroom where in fact, he was going there to make a call to Conan. Conan was worried and had to go there with his skateboard. He told them to make a "bad" excuse and surely, they are smart enough to uncover the excuse made up by Conan so that they can hide for a while.

Agasa and Ai hid in the men's bathroom. The man knocked on every stall and asked them to talk. When it was their stall that was coming up, they asked Conan what to do. Conan made another crappy idea to have Ai shout like an adult in the men's bathroom. With a follow-up plan, Conan asked them to escape through the window but seemingly, it was all planned out. The woman was already guarding the outside and the man just came. Conan also made a strange line telling them to just surrender and give up.

When Conan reached to that place, it was as though they were betrayed by him but actually, the two of them were police officers and were worried that they would escape without going back to their home. The woman told them that she as wearing dark glasses to hide his bruise when they were up in a fight with a suspect so as with the man who had damaged himself right above his forehead.

When they came to the Detective Mouri Agency, it was actually them asking for help to solve the Mystery of the "Red Wall" but they actually are ahead for Conan with his sharp mind.

Impression:

This is one of my favorite episodes after reaching this far! The twist was really great telling us that they were actually a "dangerous" party. But hey, even you can think that they are that suspicious with that kind of clothes they are wearing.

So, this is somewhat a conclusion that this is an introduction to the Mystery of the Red Wall (4-part episode). Anyway, it is surprising that I was this thrilled because, normally, when I watch a Detective Conan episode, I would slouch in my chair and listen to it. As it gets more thrilling, I straighten myself a bit from time to time but this one's different. Halfway through the episode, it thrilled me a lot making us think that they are part of the Black Organization especially knowing that they are as sharp as them.

When they came to the Detective Mouri Agency, I found it unusual that his voice changed. I just remembered that the voice actor was changed so it was like that but hey, it was somewhat near his voice and it's pretty cool with me. Great debut.
