| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Old ladies like them smart kids, for some reason, hahaha. Just 2 cunning guides tried to dry them money from uneducated ppl, very relatable irl. This scene is funny af, I'm living for it. Hahaha.  Glad they got their ass handed to them deservedly, btw so happy for the guy in the end, job well done, Ondo-sama Another short filler eps that make you questioned : why would they even bother to make these in the first place?. Hmmm I'm guessing they tried to prepare the 1000th eps for the next actual arc. Which I honestly forgot what. I'll re-read that part in a bit. But hey, the eps is full of the beloved Detective Boys' action, I couldn't complaint because of that. (tho what the hell, where is my waifu Haibara at? the eps would be so much better with her)  |

| This was weirder even than that one AO where all the parents were missing from the village and the kids were cosplaying as various bugs. |

| Lol, I actually liked this episode. Better than another murder case where someone was killed by his neighbor because he blocked his car. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| They went really over the top with this one in weird factor. It was so bizarre, that I thought the married couple were putting on an act to give the detective boys a "case" to solve. Nice that Ondo got a promotion as head honcho. He reminds me of Lurch from The Addams Family. |
| You know, there is one thing I am quite certain about this show: working for it must be dreadful. I love having my weekly Conan mystery as much as the next guy, but still I have to acknowledge that writing weekly detective cases is no easy feat. The schedule is so inhumanly tight, it leaves me genuinely speechless to see that the whole production of the Conan anime has not crumbled yet. Most filler episodes are terrible pieces of detective fiction for a reason - they merely exist to fill the time slot. Quality is rarely the concern for production committees. Thus, it is no surprise that - from time to time - I would sit through an entire episode making fun of how played out the Conan formula is. Again, the writers must be at the end of their tethers, failing to find interesting narratives to tell. Plus, considering how long the show is - and how it is very likely that we are never going to see the end of it, I would not say that silly premises should be out of the question. It is an easy 'way-out' for writers that are lacking in original plots sure, but I suppose the idea has some merits. Written decently, it can be entertaining. And there was that one parody of the 'Red-Headed League' that was decent fun back in the days when the Conan anime had hit the 200-episode mark. The problem does not lie with the premise in my opinion. No, the major flaw of this episode is that it is bad - like really really bad. 'Cringe bad' even. This has to be one of the worst episodes from this show - if not the worst one so far. Quite the achievement considering how awful anime originals can be at times. Remember the taxi case from last year? That was not great, was it? Somehow, this one is even more embarrassing. Watching through the whole thing, I was left puzzled: like, what is the tone here? A 'so-cringe-it-kind-of-becomes-funny-by-the-end' type of comedy? They sure did not pull that one off. The only good thing about this filler case is that the next one can only be better. One can only hope that the 'frying pan' plot will be decent - I'm not holding my breath though: even the idea on paper does not seem terribly exciting. |
| What a bizarre episode! At least it was funny. Where are those kids parents?! On another note, it seems we are getting a reboot of the Moonlight Sonata Murder case as episode 1000. Not sure how I feel about that. I mean, it is one of my favourite Conan episodes, but still, I preferred to have something new for that milsetone. |

I finished that story awhile ago, and want to see it referenced in DC, but can't remember the DC episode, what is the episode number and title? |
| When it is written by Urasawa Yoshio......I expect no less than this....... I am just happy that we are one week closer to March for the re-make episodes. |

Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the title of the episode - but if I remember correctly it was something along the lines of episode 220-ish. It was a one-part anime original about a guy trying to work in a restaurant for a number of shady reasons. I am not going to spoil the twist (which is almost the same as in Doyle's short story anyway), but that was a fun one: case was weak as hell, but writing a good and especially proper detective story was clearly not the intention. No, the writer's goal was to ridicule Conan's overanalytical process of deduction, and I thought he did that in a clever way. |
| what an episode xD |

| This is the most bizarre episode I have seen in quite a while. I'm somewhat surprised that they let the kids go up to this place by themselves. Conan had to suffer another person's bad singing (Maybe they should've had a duet), Mitsuhiko had to eat durian (I think Genta would have to liked to try those fruit out more), Ayumi getting shown grills for Grandmas, and Genta sees an old lady yeet herself with a jet pack. Ondo's speed walking, making sharp turns while finding the kids was hilarious (whoever animated that piece sure had to draw a bunch a frames and it paid off). The couple seemed to come off as typical Saturday cartoon villians (Kanto Team Rocket style of villian). Now the ladies seem to have moved on to Ondo as their next obsession. Good that he became the director but hey money talks I guess. このエピーソドがすごく変だけど、意外に面白い。次のはフィラーキラーの番だ。えー、フライパン？！ |
| Notice: I read most manga in Japanese now so I'm not sure where you can read in English. Sorry in advance. |
| @RuneImperialist Looks like you are looking for "Episode 225 - The Secret of the High Sales". |

| This is the weirdest filler with the less mystery i have watched so far in this series. I'm not sure why they decided to make this, or perhaps they are saving their time to prepare for the 1000th episode. Well, i hope so. |
| Well this may go down as one of the creepiest DC episodes of all time. |
 |
| Bruh.... Dafuq did I just watch :-| |
 |
| That was funny... I really liked it. It was a nice change of pace. Usually my experience with DC filler is 'I know what will happen, it's just the usual formula' but this ep was so interesting. Would love to see more quirky hijinks like this ^^ |
 |
| Was this written and directed by a grade schooler? You know, the show had its moments, but this is just a disaster. |
 |
| All hail Ondo-sama |
| I can't be the only one who kept thinking this was a Dream-Episode and kept waiting for anyone to wake up from it? It was so weird and bad it made me think I'd be watching a different series. Like... WHAT HAPPENED HERE? What did they take before or while writing this episode? I have to admit I knew something was off when in the intro Conan said something like: "Everybody loves the Detective Boys" ARE YOU SERIOUS? Also something bothered me... They said the DBs were complete but Ai was missing. Worst DC episode I've ever watched and I love the series (even some of the fillers). Best thing about it was Ondo. |

| The episode is bad, very bad!! Ondo, it´s a character very interesting!!! Well, the grannies have their reward!!! kekeke |
| Not the bootleg Jesse and James |
| In the process of catching up, I actually enjoyed this episode. Especially the Ondo walk. Also, with all the negative comments here, the start of the preview made me laugh-  |
