A
franchise that continues to grow
The
original series Detective Conan, also known internationally
as Case Closed, began airing in January 1996 and
is still active to this day. Its story revolves around Conan Edogawa,
a young detective whose physical appearance was reduced to that of a child
after being poisoned. Together with Kogoro Mori and his
daughter Ran, he solves complex cases while searching for the group
responsible for his transformation.
In addition
to the YouTube campaign, TMS has released a special selection of
episodes of the anime on different platforms, titled "Conan
vs. The Black Organization," which includes
never-before-available episodes in the U.S., with Japanese dubbing and new
English dubbing.
Beyond
anime: records and premieres
The most
recent feature film in the franchise, Detective Conan: Kurogane no
Submarine, premiered on July 5 in the U.S. during the
Anime Expo, marking the arrival of the 26th film. On the other
hand, the film 28, titled Detective Conan: Sekigan no
Flashback, debuted in Japan on April 18, taking the top spot at
the domestic box office.
The
original manga, created by Gōshō Aoyama, began publication in Weekly
Shōnen Sunday in 1994, and to this day remains one of the
mainstays of the mystery and detective genre in the Japanese industry.
