One thing I don't get about that in retrospect is...why did Mio just keep kneeling there with her ass out to the audience? Like, it was a whole few seconds.
Maybe I'm misremembering. I'm feeling out of it right now.
No you're right, she was kneeling over for quite a bit. I'm guessing the initial shock kept her from doing a quick recover, which makes sense as any girl would be mortified to have
her underwear be seen by a good population of the school.
I'm still not mentally prepared to start a seven hundred episode series, but the reccomendations to start from the beginning seem nevertheless valid. To compromise a bit, I'll be doing the movies that I have left in release order. So, this is the first one.
Going back this far, it seems that some of the cast members I know hadn't been introduced yet. I was particularly surprised by Shiratori - apparently he was first introduced in this movie, which is pretty crazy, since I've seen him in TV episodes as well. I don't think they were all filler, so I guess he got a permanent cast position at some point. That's not something most movie-original characters can do!
But anyway, plot. No gimmicks here - just a simple serial terrorism case in which the culprit calls out the detective directly and gives him occasional hints. It's a classic setup that just works. Events move along at a steady pace without any real downtime, and the early plot threads (pun intended, ha) come back properly in the end. It's a nice complete package that actually feels like a movie, instead of an elongated TV episode (which Requiem felt like).
High point: The
sappy ending. I called the solution from light-years away as soon as it came down to a red wire and a blue wire, but it was still heartwarming in a simple kind of way. Also, rather than have it be coincidence like I was expecting, they included a scene earlier specifically to put the idea in the villain's head, which was cool - I didn't realize until the flashback, which might make it the first flashback in the history of forever that wasn't wasting my time
!
Low point: The animation quality is noticably lower than the more recent films. I guess that's to be expected, but it's still worth pointing out. On the plus side, the trains were 2D! CG vehicles plague the newer movies something fierce.
I found it funny that the explanation bit at the beginning (about how he shrunk and all that) hasn't changed at all from this movie onwards. Newer ones seem to be redrawn, and have extra bits added for Haibara and Kid as needed, but the shot of Conan bonking his head on a desk has been constant for years and years. It's kind of impressive! I guess Toei isn't the undisputed champion of reused animation after all.
Overall, better than most of the movies I've got through so far, but not quite as good as the Magic Kaito one. Verdict is a 6 / 10, I guess?
Yeah, originally Shiratori was a movie-original character who was only in the movies. For a while after the movies started he was still not featured in the TV series or manga. However as Conan's popularity continued to grow, so did Shiratori's so he was officially incorporated into the manga, and by extension the TV series.
Loge was pretty good Pallesite. And Subaru still fun to have around with that gear that lets him interchange it with the other ones? Cool, whatever it was.
Soma being there was fun but why he still gotta be defeated Better get a powerup please
Yep, this is going to be this season's Fate/Zero for me. Despite the universal GAF love, I'm just lukewarm on it. Episode 2 was alright, I guess. Plot is pretty interesting, main character is great and Sugita is awesome. The major problems? Everything else, really. Every side character is so darn boring. I can't bring myself to care about any of them. Also, the mecha are still terrible looking. That fact is super distracting to me.
The sea lightning scene was gorgeous, I'll give them that. I'll certainly keep watching as I'm enjoying my time with it, but I don't think it's the awesome show others here claim it to be.
But this is Kugimiya Rie. Her voice is distinct and I can usually tell it's her. I guess I wasn't paying attention not to mention Wamiya got a so little spoken lines for the last 2 episodes.

Solid first episode. Engaging writing and concept with good cast of characters. I would say really the only character that feels out of place is that girl that keeps providing commentary. I'm also glad that the anime followed Moyoco Anno's character designs pretty closely since I'm fan of her art.
I'm doing the same few days ago.. Never really complete the series, its damn entertaining.. Schwarz and Master Asia are the man. I'm not feeling the final arc though.
Steel saint are so low-tier they are not even funny.
Even if they give us some dark power within they will still stay low tier.
Now watching cloths in their original tranformation mode is good stuff and as usual when athena is in danger the countdown started .... it can already predict that they won't be in time.
This is funny stuff..
they didn't even gave soma his upgrade yet
, they are gonna drag this out the more they can it seems.
