I'm not sure, I only watched the 150 or so episodes that got dubbed (the dub was really good besides the 'localization' stuff) but it didn't get old in that time. Can't speak for it now though.

Are you looking for more episodic detective stuff, or general mystery? If the former, Un-Go and Heaven's Memo pad are both neat shows. For the latter, Monster.

Spiritus Nox posted:Anyone got some good Mystery anime? The closer they come to channeling the Ace Attorney moment where the hero makes a key breakthrough/accusation and the really cool music kicks in, the better. Preferably something generally akin to Ace Attorney in tone - some seriousness isn't a problem, but I'm primarily looking for a fun mystery show. If you don't mind the mysteries being more on the mundane side of things, Hyouka is really good.

You can always try Neuro: Supernatural Detective/Majin Tantei Nōgami Neuro. I found it a pretty fun read and watch.

Ghost Hunt is exactly like that, but it's all about the supernatural. It's really, really good though.

Watch all the Detective Conan. Aoyama Gosho subscribes to the classic mystery ideal of "show everything, make it fair for the readers". In manga format, this usually means a case is broken into three chapters: one for setup and exposition, one for investigation, and one for the final reveal. The anime adaptation usually splits the first two parts before the commercial break and the last part after.

Open Source Idiom posted:There was a lot of fansubber bullshit floating around with initial From The New World translations -- the licensed subtitles are generally more accurate, or so I've read. Never watched the show, but it's a Sentai Filmworks license so I can almost guarantee that the official subtitles are not good. Their releases (this includes crunchyroll streaming) in general are incredibly low quality and even botched in some extreme cases like Kids on the Slope where more than one episode is missing an entire audio channel.

The Conan Wiki has a list of all the episodes with markings corresponding to what they represent in the storyline if that's any help. You'd still have to sort through 700+ episodes to find the ones you want though.

I'm thinking more along the lines of really good episodes regardless of their connection to the main plot. Heck I'd be down for watching some of the movies too if there are some standout films among the billion movies.

How many episodes do stuff like Naruto and Bleach have in comparison out of curiosity? They can't be more than 500-ish apiece?

bleach's manga isn't over yet, they just stopped airing the anime because the way things were going they'd be in filler hell for three years. it's better to just end it, wait for the manga to finish its last arc, and then adapt it in like 50 episodes with no filler.

For the most part the movies are good, my favorite is probably the second one since it's a great combination of setting, characters, moderately important background info and a pretty good mystery on top of it. EDIT: The eighth one is also pretty great since it's about Conan's rival and him and his girlfriend are the best. TARDISman fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Apr 10, 2015 |

I don't really know of anything like that, and my memory's a bit too rusty to recall most episode numbers or names. I'd at least start with the first 5 episodes. They introduce the setting and core characters and will give you a good idea for the feel of the show. Outside of that, my single favorite episode is 304: 12 Million Hostages, which is essentially a movie since it was broadcast as a 2 hour special. It has a lot of development for some of the supporting cast, but works fine as a standalone story. Other than that, that wiki list would be a good resource. I'd say you can safely skip anything marked "TV Original", as the writing on those can be subpar. Anything with the Black Organization icon is a must view. In general, cases that run as multiple episodes or extended specials are worth watching. If I remember any other standouts, I'll post them, but it seems I'm due for a Conan rewatching myself.

Also watch a few of the early episodes with the dub on, it was actually a pretty good dub, apart from them not being able to decide if they were Japanese or Canadian.

The detective (I don't know his JP name)'s VA work was absolutely top notch and I tried watching the sub once I ran out of dub episodes and I couldn't stand the dudes original voice at all.

Anyone know something that's similar to "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU"? I like the main character who is a really clever outcast/loner.

Drifter posted:What are your opinions of No Game No Life? Allarion posted:It has a lot of good ideas, but it's also tainted by a lot of creepy ideas so it's always gonna be heavily divisive. The story could be building up to some rebuttal on those ideas, but I'm probably giving the writer too much credit. I can not easily recommend it for those reasons. I said way back before it premiered that I had mixed feelings on NGNL, and that's still true today. I didn't keep up with the series so I have no idea if it ever followed up on certain plot threads, and I know the anime doesn't because it only goes up to volume 3 so it only hints at the main dude's backstory.

What sayeth the hive-mind with regard to Detective Conan's dub v sub? I'm halfway through the first episode and so far the dub is very....ninties Anime dub. Not terrible, but it's got some really flat moments and weird inflections. Should I stick with it?

Considering iirc the dub only covers a small portion of the actual show you might consider going to subs unless you are normally dub only.

Personally I really like the dub, it's probably one of Funimation's best early works, and the central 4 actors are all pretty great once they really settle into their roles.

Just started episode 2. Man, I knew it was coming, but I am not digging lil' detective's design - or the whole 'revert to childhood' gimmick in general. He never gets cured/ages out of that, right? Hopefully I'll warm up to it. Edit: I will say, I'd watched a few episodes ages and ages ago - maybe back in grade school - and I remembered the older, lovely detective just as...well, lovely. Nice to see him pick up on a clue and run with it a bit when Conan drops a hint, even if he obviously isn't taking it all the way. I hope they keep doing that. Edit 2: Okay, letting Rachel beat the living manshit out of the perp when Jimmy/Conan (Goddammit what do I call him) finds him is a good step towards redeeming the whole child-potion gimmick. I hope we get a lot more of that. Spiritus Nox fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Apr 12, 2015 |

Alright, Episode 2 helped win me over. Onwards to episode 3. The dub seems to be getting a bit better as we go, and the mysteries are fun so far. I will say, aside from hoping Rachel gets to go all Fist of the North Star on lots of crooks, I really hope they find out who Conan is sooner or later. If the formula stays anywhere close to what I remember from the episodes I caught way back when, it'll be hard to stop me from putting my head through a table if they haven't started suspecting something by 25 episodes, let alone a hundred.
