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…

Kaito Kid: Season 1 – Part 1

Hey Guys,
after a long time i found time to watch Kaito Kid. I love Kaito Kid. He is a great character and the episodes with him are one of the best in Detektiv Conan. I always role for him and not for Conan. There are a few things that totally could find more screen time in Detektiv Conan.
Many people which just watching Detektiv Conan, have a wrong picture about Kaito and Sugaru. Kaito Kid returns all the things he stole, because he just trying to find the murder of his father. The second thing is that Sugaru knows that Kaito Kuruba is Kaito Kid and that they have with all that knowledge interessting friendship. So what do i expect from that serie is accectly that.

Kaitos Reason

One of the strong points of the Anime are that they point the things out. Kaito Kid is stealing as long as he search for the murder of his father. The give this time it deserves and shows us that he did return all the things he stole. That is really important because this is the biggest part of Kaitos character. He wants to entertain people, he wants to make them laugh, to believe in miracles. He is a good person. A person who wants to protect people that are close to him but also everyone else.

Family

Here we have to points to talk about. First of all, i like how they portayed the relationship of the Nakamuras and the Kurubas. That the Nakamuras are Kaitos family is becoming here much clearer than in the manga. But also the are giving his mother and father a backstory, that isn’t in the manga and really is for my a little stupid and like everyone is saying in the anime ‘to chessy’. Also the every day a advice thing is not logic for me and is desturbing the flow of the story.

The little Storys

A good point is that they take time for the little Storys. For the story with Aoko and the adventure in the school at night. They make sure that this mostly like the Manga and that is for me a really good point. But they to a really bad thing that is totally trouble me, that is Sugaru. He is an really improtant character in the manga. He is important for Kaito and his developement, he is important for the story. He is a reason we love the serie so much. Because he and Kaito are friends in a way. But at night he is chasing Kaito and he knows. He knows that Kaito Kid is Kaito Kuruba. This is a really important thing and i don’t understand why the take that out of the serie. He was just one time there. That is not enough that is the worst.

Gueststars

Of course they did the Story with Shinichi again and also they make a story with Conan, Ran and Sonoko what is accatual really fun to watch. But the Story with mother is just not mine. So no… also Kaito kid is inspired by the fiend with twenthy face and to make a another version of this it just seems to much.
The Fiend with twenthy face is a really good character and i love to read the books over him and if you interessted in crime storys and like the japanese style of writting just go and buy the rampo edogawa storys.
