Detektiv Conan/ Closed Case: Movie 19

Hey Guys,

i am a big fan of Detektiv Conan or in english i think it is called Closed Case. I fall in love with it at the first episode and started to read the Manga. Now i have 88 volumes of the Manga standing in my cupboard and 19th movies – okay to are still missing because i wanted to have the special edition. But i think you can totally see that i love Conan. I don’t get tired of it like many of my friends. I love it still the same – when not even more – when i first watched it. For me didn’t lost any of his magic. A few characters – especially Ran – are problematic in a way that she is a really sweet girl and you would totally like her if this story wouldn’t play with out time. Her is getting on your nerves with Conan and Shinichi and she never get’s it. That is one problem of the lenght of it but everything else i love. The most of course Heiji and Kaito Kid (a pair i ship instat of Shinichi and Kaito). I started even watching Kaitos own Anime Kaito Kid/Magic Kaito. The movies are always nice to watch and like you all can think now the ones with Kaito Kid are my favorites.

Still nice but doesn’t satisfy

Normaly the only point at the Conan movies i don’t really like (but just because i can’t japanese) are the quiz of the Professor. They are always word quiz that only function in japanese. But this movie is a little disapointing. I have high standards and the Conan Movies got better from Movie to Movie. Sadly this was a step back. The story is quite nice. It is about the sunflowers of Van Gogh (here can learn something xP).
Than Kaito Kid seems to want to steal the sunflowers that Sonokos grandfather bought or not?
Because is not stealing them. He is just making a big show out of it. That everyone would think that he is just promoting Sonokos grandfather.
But until than everything is fine. Kid got a show and we love him for it and when he came on board as Shinchi we all know that this will be fun. Than the let down starts.

Spoilers – Conans failure

Kaito Kid is a kind of a person that is acting like he has a code. He is only stealing juwels and he is always giving them back (without money). Everyone who nows him apart from Detektiv Conan/Closed Case, knows that he is only stealing us Kaito Kid because he search for a special juwel, which was the reason for death of is father. He wants to find them. This is his motivation. Of course he also has fun with it but this stands behind it. Kaito Kid is also someone who will try to save everyone he can and Conan totally know that. He made Kid at so many occasions. Kaito Kid saved Conans life on regular basis. He came to a wizard meeting to stop a murder. This kind of guy is Kid and Conan knows that.
So why his he not knowing that something totally different is going on? Kaito Kid stealing a picture? Kaito Kid should be responisble for an exploision a plane? That is stupid and Conan should know that. Conan should also know that Kid would not want money. He should know that something different is going on but he doesn’t. He take the whole movie to find out what we knows from the start. Kaito is not stealing the picture, he is protecting them and something totally different is going on there. The whole freaking movie. Kaito is acting as Shinichi. This alone should tell Conan that something is going on.
Also the whole case doesn’t get closed by Conan. No Kaito is telling him everything that is going on. So he is just telling everyone what Kid told him. That is a detektiv… also the last quiz of Kid was quite obvious. With all the hints to the apostels and the picture of the communion from Da Vinci. He should have getting behind the quiz earlier. The only good thing about this is that Kid is seeing at the same and tells Conan that he thought that Conan would come behind the quiz faster.

The movie should wear the name Detektiv Conan/Closed Case it should be called Kaito Kid. Because he did all the work. Closed the case, got the evidence, saved the pictures and saved Ran…and Conan just ran after him without even having a clue what really is going on there.

Watching or not (still with spoilers)

So yeah watch it for Kaito Kid, but still one point left that i dislike. The solution is unsatisfied. The motive of the murderer is quite stupid… i mean really stupid…
Also the way Kaito Kid found out about what is going on is not quite satisfied. But this can also be that the translation wasn’t quite right or not clear enough. But in german it sounds like Kid got an Whats Up acount as Kaito Kid and everybody can call him and give him jobs.

The only thing that would made sense would be if he got the job from his butler and he wanted to steal the pictures for him and when he researched and spoted everything out he found out about the other thing. It is not the best solution, it still doesn’t make totally sense but better than someone leaving him a voice mail…

DW: Son of the Dragon

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 99th adventure – Son of the Dragon – of big finish main range with the fifth Doctor and his companion Erimem and Peri. They visited 1462 and lands in a war against the son of the dragon. What actually is really exciting because the son of the dragon is the really Dracula. I was always a fan of the Vampires. They real Vampires that can’t live in the daylight, don’t like garlic and drinks blood. The old vampires…without glitter. The cruel Vampire that really existed in our world. A monster who is nothing else than a human. This is not just a story of Dracula but it is also a historical story which i really love.

Quite a mess

The story is quite changing. Our lovely people stumple over a little armee that wants to defeat Dracula. But they get attackt by Dracula and his people. In the chaos of the fight Erimem saves Dracula. When Erimem is living with Dracula. Peri and the Doctor are searching for her and than try to save her. So the first two episode are quite a mass and a chaos for her.

The reason too love Doctor Who – listen or not

What i can totally promise all of you is that all characters have an amazing deep. Dracula is not just the monster the books do. You can understand him. He has his reasons. The good brother is not so much a good guy either. This is a really important thing is to never forget two things. Thing one is that you always have to see the things in their time and second all monster are nothing else than humans. We are the monster. Doctor Who shows this alot of time that everyone of us can become this monster. We should never forget that. This story shows us this. This story is totally a go and listen to it.

DW: Frozen Time

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 98th adventure of big finish main range – Frozen Time. It plays in 2012 in Antartica with the sixth Doctor again totally and uterlly alone. Something is frozen in ice and my first thought was Silurian. But the person frozen in ice is the Doctor, but maybe there is more in the ice than just him.

Whats going on

The Doctor seems to have lost his memories in his time frozen. He instinctly knows the names like Mel, Ace and Hex. People that are not longer with him. An Expitition is searching for a expition that got lost in 1929. But what they found was a blue box and a Doctor without his memories and something really bad.

Like always

I really like the crew that found the Doctor. The are many so different people. It is fun to listen to them interact with the Doctor. Sadly i am one of the few people that wished that this time it wouldn’t be the woman that run with Doctor in the show down but with some of the guys. It is always a girl or woman…

Listen or not

The story is really good and even when the Doctor don’t remember gets kinda old. The story function well and the characters are really interessting. So yes go and listen to this story.

Lethbridge-Stewart: The Shizoid Earth

Hey Guys,

after my little confusion i read now the second book of the serie Lethbridge-Stewart – The Schizoid Earth. Unlike the other two books it is not referring to classic Doctor Who story. It stands alone and plays without much surprise after the second book.

Confussion

The story is really confussing and i can’t tell what it is about. We have three main strands of plot. We have the Brig. Theoretically he finds a bomb that doesn’t detonated with a passenger – a dead professor Trevors. Now comes part that confuses me. Because the second strand is with Anne Trevors and Professor Trevor finding somewhere else a simular ‘bomb’ but before they can make tests they got called back to search for Lethbridge-Stewart.
The third strands is a reporter that also got asighned to find the Brig.

Problems over problems

This mystery ‘bombs’ are not the only thing that is going on. Soldiers from the past appier the present. These soldiers are not aware of that. They still things they are in war. All three groups met some of these soldiers. But there is still more. The Brig is having problems remembering things. Also there seems to be problems with the year they are in. Everything is really mysterious. You really don’t know what is going on. So the story is working good. But the biggest problem is that the parts with the Brig are the shortest until the middle of the book. After that we got alot more Lethbridge-Stewart and the book good alot more interessting from that point on.

Reading or not

If go through the first half of the book, the good really interessting, emontional, still confusing but the question gets answered and i really fall in love with the story. So yes totally worth reading.

DW: The War Doctor: Agents of Chaos – Eye of Harmony

HEy Guys,

let’s get to the last adventure of the third box of Agent of Chaos – Eye of Harmony. This adventure is for me the hardest to listen to. It is about Helenya what she is doing and why she is doing it. In the last stories i liked her but here she is – i don’t know how to discribe it. So let’s just start it.

Sacrifices in the war

Helenya has lost her grandfather in the beginning of the time war. She is right that many people lost their lifes in this war and alot will follow. That is what war is about. Dead people…killing. Some wars have to be fought and other you don’t understand. The Daleks offer Helenya a way out of the war. A way to bring the dead back. A way to prevent the time war for ever happening. I understand that this is tempting but really doesn’t she know anything about the Daleks. Why would the Daleks prevent the time war? Or would they by just defeating the time lord, but this would mean alot more death in rows time lord. She most know that there has to be more behind it. Why is everyone always falling for the promises of the Dalek?

The real heros

The story is not the best not the worst. This is mostly what i think about all the adventures in that serie of the War Doctor. But this adventure have a character that i really fall in love with. It is a young boy that help the other in the adventure before and now is with the other on this battle TARDIS.
What makes this story so good is that we have the time lords that are fighting in a war. They resignated to what it means and are ready to make these sacrifices. Other time lords are at the end of there power and can’t live with this war anymore and than there is this young boy that knows so little about war and sacrifices and yet does know so much more about what life is worth.
This story shows us the different between the people and that is what it makes such a great story.

Listen or not

So apart from the fact that you need to listen to this story to get the end of the adventure before and listen to the next Box. I would say this is definitly a listen to it story. Like i said before it is not the best story but it are the little things that makes this story great. One of them is the young boy and the other things have all to do with him. So yeah i really liked the story.

DW: The War Doctor: Agent of Chaos – The Eternity Cage

Hey Guys,

welcome to the second part of the Agent of Chaos – The Eternity Cage which starts at the same point the other adventure stopped. Heleyan, who works for Ollistra is telling the Doctor that Ollistra is captured by the Sontaron. Now the Doctor needs to help rescue her. Of course we all now the Doctor and is of course helping. It is amazing how much more he is the Doctor than some of the other Doctors.

Sontoron as part of the war

I don’t just understand that part. It is clear why the Sontoran want to be fight in this war. They just live to fight. If they want to be part of the war, than just attack one of the parties or both. Why do they need permission? Also the time lords and Daleks infollow every planet in this war but the Sontoran they just ignored? This bit is not really making sense to me. Sontoran will never be allowed in the time war… wow… good. Why is earth allowed to be part of the war? Maybe we can exchange this with them. Just thinking…
So we have the time lords, the Daleks and Sontoran all in one adventure and all three are trying to figth each other and maybe there is also a traitor in the mix.

Listen or not

It is obvious that you need to listen to the story when you want to listen to the other adventures of the war doctor. This adventure give us a few point you need to know for the next adventure. This box is like the first bound together. The second box were more stand alone than the stories now.
But i like this adventure because they point out something really good and it is a Dalek that did it. Who started the time war? The time lords that just fight to survive protect the time lines? Are they really? Didn’t the Doctor used them against the Daleks in the adventure before (The War Doctor: Agent of Chaos – The Shadow Vortex and what did they do when the Doctor to destroy all the Daleks before they became a threat…
That is why i always get back to listen to the War Doctor story. Because of this little things.

A silent voice (Koe no Katachi)

Hey Guys,

i want to tell you about the one Manga i bought on the Connichi that was for me the Manga of the year – A silent Voice. Normaly i don’t write about Manga. I don’t know if you can buy the Manga in your country, but i will inform me. So why do i write about this one, because this one is special. This one is breaking my heart, gives me hope and shows me how cruel the world is – how cruel kids are. This is not a fantasy, horror or scifiction it is not over the top dramatic. It is real life.

What is it about

It goes about a girl. This girl is really really strong – not in a physical way but in any other way. She is deaf. When we first met her in the story she is really young. She visit primary school and kids are cruel. She got mopped is a too soft word for it. The main actor is a young boy. He is weak and mainly just bored. When she came into their class. Everything changed. They had problems in lessions. Because she needed to much time to write her answer down in the talk round. Everyone in the class found special and thought that she was the problem. Also i must say that the teacher doesn’t handle her well. One of the teacher is making it worse because he make it seems like it is her fault.
So this one boy choose do to what everyone else was thinking. After he started mopping her everyone joined him. This is were the story starts. We follow these two people through her life. We see how she is dealing with what life is throwing at her and we see how he handles what he did to her.

This is about forgiveness

This story is not making him the bad boy. I mean i really don’t liked him very much obviously. But after he got the fault for everything that happend to her is life changed alot. He understood what he did to her and doesn’t know who he should life with that knowledge. When he met her again. We see they strength this girl has. She never gives anyone the fault. She doesn’t want to hurt people, she doesn’t want revenge. She has strength to forgive people. This girl handles life so much better than anyone else. It is so sad to see her sister and mother trying to protect her, when she don’t even need it. The way her mother treated her… and don’t understand how strong her daugther is. It is life in all his form. This is a story about a really strong girl.

Information

The story can be watched as Anime (which i didn’t watched) on crunchyroll.
Also it was published in America by Kodansha, in France by Edition Ki-oon, in spain by Milky Way Ediciones, italy by Edizioni Star Comics and in china by Tong Li Publishing. So go read it.

DW: The War Doctor: Agents of Chaos – The Shadow Vortex

Hey Guys,

i started to listen to the third box – Agents of Chaos – of ‘The War Doctor‘ and the first adventure ‘The Shadow Vortex’. It plays on earth. The Doctor and someone else who goes with the name Lara get arrested in East Berlin 1961. What is of course suitable with east and west are in the cold war.

The nameless name

This story is a typical Doctor Who episode. In this episode the Doctor is so much the Doctor. The Time Lords (Ollistra of course) is sending him to earth to stop the Dalek invasion. When the time war started a few planets got protected by the time lords. One of this planets was the earth. That is the reason the earth didn’t take place in the time war. But this is now in danger. Because the shield around earth got weaken and the Daleks are taking advantage of this. They send some one who did everything for the right price and she is really good at her job.
The Doctor take one of the stazi with him on this adventure to stop Lara. It is just like the old times. But i promise you this is totally and with everything the war doctor and that makes it such a good story. It is was so the Doctor and at the time everything he hates.

Listing or not

Yeah i know i write everytime less. But the war doctor story are all in the same way. This one is a little different because it feels like on old doctor who story. But it is like all the others in this serie a good story and i would say one of my favorite so far. So yeah go and listen to it. The other two adventures will follow.

The Torchwood Archive

Hey Guys,

it is here The Torchwood Archive. I must say that i was a little disapointed when i saw the how small the CD is. The Cd box is really small and i also dislike the way the CDs are stored. But apart from this CD box is beautifull. It is totally Torchwood and embossed silver. Look at it your self.
Torchwood Archive

What is Torchwood

This is a story about the History of Torchwood. The Basic of this story is that Jeremiah – just one guy from a future – that is visting the Torchwood Archive. He is there to shut it down but before he does it he wants to know what Torchwood and Object One is.
So he got lead through the archive by our love Andy which promised fun. But before that he also met hologramms of Ianto and Jack. Which give me so much feelings. This hologramms – more like computerprogramms – are so much like they original were.
But back to the story. Andi is leading him through to different scenes that are explaining what Torchwood is and what that Object One is. So we got scenes in different times and different characters. Some scene are really short others are longer, some seems so useless but everyone is amazing.

What we got

We got a story that i think almost everyone can listen and understand without knowing everything else, but it has so much goddies for the fans. Really got Captain Jack Harkness in his best form. We got Ianto Jones and we got both of them together. We got Gwen and Rhys. Also we have Suzie, Yvonne, Andi, Tosh and many others. Also we get my new favorite Character Norton.
But we got so much. We got an idea of what Tosh and Owen could have been. We finaly got a picture why Hopkins has killed everyone in Torchwood. Also we got a few Information about the Committee. We just got everything you need to love the story.

There is not one thing that i would change about it or what i would bad or could be better. It is just everything. You got the characters you love, get more background stories, hints future stories. One of the best thing was Yvonne scene were the Torchwood Archive couldn’t give information out because it is classified for Torchwood. I just can’t wait for the next adventure with them. The only thing i still need is Owen Harper back.

Listing or not

Suprise, suprise The Torchwood Archive is for me a totally listing too. I mean not tha i every said something else about the Torchwood stories. But none aless this is an anniversary celebration how it should be. It was everything in it. So go and buy this Cd and celebrated the 10 anniversary of Torchwood. It were amazing 10 years with amazing stories. So why are you still reading this, go listen to this story.

DW: The Wishing Beast

Hey Guys,

here we go with the 97th adventure of the big finish main range – The wishing beast with the sixth Doctor and Mel. The wishing beast is three parter and the other story on the CD – The Vanity Box – is kinda a prequel and sequel at the same time.

They sounded nice enough

At the beginning of the story the Doctor resived a recording, where two siblings invite everyone to join them and visited them. The Doctor who told that his time of running into problem without thinking is over and at the same time he goes visiting the siblings because they sound nice enough. But of course it is never so easy. On the way to the house something like a ghost is warning them to go there. The siblings of course tell the Doctor and Mel that the ghost are the bad. Which one is right?

The great time traveler

The siblings are waiting for special people. A great time traveler, a hero. Of course the Doctor thinks that they mean him but they are actually talking about Mel. They want her to go to the wishing beast and get granded their greatest wish. This is a really interessting thing because Mel is a person that is actually very satisfied with her life. She has nothing like a big wish. I mean Rose wanted her dad would be alive, Nyssa would have wanted to save her father and people and everyone of his companion had something they wished for. But Mel is one of very little people that traveled with Doctor that is just satisfied. Or at least this is how i saw her and remembered her.

A

Of course it is nothing like a wonderfull and peacefull place. In that Town is a Vanity Box that makes the woman younger and more beautiful. This is something i never understand why people want to look younger or try to change how they look. I am not happy with everything i look but i would never even try to change it. But many people see it different. This little story is just what it is a little story. But the best thing is we get to know what Mel would have wished. This wish just got me because it is not just everything i thought about Mel. It is what i would have wished too. I really miss someone…sorry i am just emotional right now.

Listen or not

It is a really good story. I like the way they tell the story. Who is the bad guy and who is the good guy or is there anything like that? Is it all just about love or hate? It is a story about wishes and what they can do to people. So yes go on and listen to this great story.
