I'm a fan of Golden Age detectives in general, so I like most detective manga, but Conan is truly my favorite manga. Especially when most of the important characters have been introduced (around 20~25) it really outdones itself with storytelling and puzzles. I happened to have made pictures of my Conan collection last Saturday for another forum, so I'll just repost them ^_~
The German releases of Detective Conan. I'm Dutch, but I can read German well, so this is a great release to me. Bah, Case Closed fiasco.
Other Detective Conan and Aoyama Gosho stuff. In the upper middle, a 2 page article about Conan by... me! Released last year in the best, only Dutch manga/anime magazine AniWay.

Back to topic....
My husband and I are big fans of this series: both the manga and the anime series! :) I really like Rachel (I vastly prefer the English names to the Japanese ones) and Jimmy Kudo the best. :)
I wish they'd get rid of the Junior Detectives--I can't stand those kids.

In contrast, I heard the German dubbed version of the anime tried to name every character, major or minor, to a writer or detective.

I love Ran/Rachel too. She's one of few females in a male-centered anime that doesn't suck completely.
I love the art style, too; it's really distinctive and put me off a little at first, but it's really great how there can be so many characters and they all look so different you don't get muddled up - which normally happens to me all the time.
I prefer the manga to the anime. If I have the manga, I can spend as long as I want trying to figure something out, and it's more fun that way :D

The german mangas and dubbing both leave all names unchanged. The dubbing is totally hilarious as the german voice actors just read the japanese names with german pronounciation. I still think it's worlds better than the "LOL ITS IN AMERICA NOW!!" treatment it got for the english version, though.

That is something I hear often. I don't have any problem with the 'repeating murders', as I am mainly a Golden Age detective fan. The more (good) cases, the better IMHO ^_~; Then again, I'm slowly accumulating as much detective fiction as Shinichi has, so I might not be very objective.
11 movies at the moment. I actually think they got better a lot the last few years. Since the seventh movie the stories are a lot better (the ninth movie is really good).
I knew of the manga (as I own every issue of Conan in German :P), but I wasn't sure about the anime.

I agree with you. The appeal of Detective Conan does not lie in the fast-paced plot or realism; quite obviously no (however old Conan is) kid is going to be witness to anywhere near as many as he is (vists library - someone gets murdered. Goes skiing - someone gets murdered. Goes to a restaunt - someone gets murdered).
But it wouldn't be much of a mystery otherwise, would it? It's not a good drama; it was never intended to be. The "plot" only really acts as a medium for the different cases... and the fact that the lead characters are awesome is just an added bonus.
At least, that's what I think.

Ahahaha! GOOD TIMES!
When I had Rtl2, that is. It was hilarious how they pronounced the names with such pauses. Tah-Kah-Haah-shiih.
Anyways, I like the series from what I've checked, both as Manga and Anime. The manga, in fact, comes out translated in Finnish, which might be considered a surprise since the series is not that popular in the West (At least, that's what I think) However, I haven't bought any volumes lately, since I have that feeling that the series is a bit too repetitive for my taste. But it's fun to figure out who the murderer is in every case. I tend to have the luck to always guess right, weird, yes

Woah. 50+ manga volumes. I'm only up to the 10th one...or so. XD I really need to catch up on that and buy more of the manga; although, as many people have stated, I have to agree that the series is pretty repetitive.
It's still pretty good overall. 8D

I personally don't think anyone approached the series expecting realism. I mean, really, it's a show about some highschool dude who got shrunk into a shrimp. And a murder on a roller coaster on the first volume? I was in it for the ridiculous cases just like everyone else probably. It was fun for a while, then the number of dead bodies pile up, and after 10 volumes or so, the bodycount pretty much surpasses Rambo's confirmed kills. Each case is structured exactly the same in the Holmesian tradition. It's essentially reading the same material over and over. Look, even Conan Doyle himself got tired of Holmes after some books and tried to kill the character.
Another thing is, the two main detectives are pretty much Holmes clones themselves. You have the classic arrogant pricks with sticks up their asses who can apparently deduce that the black marks on the suspect's left hand somehow indicates that the suspect is a pedophilic rapist who listens to the Village people's YMCA song day after day(with fantabulous reasoning that boggles the mind.) You can only repeat the same premise so many times before it spells out "redundant." The "kid detective" gimmick spices things up a bit, but the premise wears thin after a while.
Despite all that I've said, I still kind of follow the books. I really like some of the filler chapters involving inspector Takagi and Satou. Heck I even liked the occasional Aibara x Conan bit. I think I'm going to burn in hell for this :(

Anyway, I really like the manga series, which I read in French (the translation is very good. The only thing is that its TOO Japanese (most of the names are the Japanese names, and some cases are very hard to understand because they are based on Japanese puns). Well, I still like it, even thought I already read about 20 of them.
Oh, and Conan is awesome. We need a Conan smile here ^^.

Yeah...It gets boring.. ><
And I do like Detective Conan! ^^. I saw a trailer of it in a DVD and I was like, "Hm...Maybe I should watch this" And I loved it! Oh, and I watched the english trailer. I got more into it and I started to like the Japanese subs as well! I like the main character's english names but the others...Meh...I dont like them.
Thanks DarzieP for this sweet sig and avatar!!!!!

Hah! That is too funny. You know, I actually thought he resembled Phoenix's suit, but Conan is much closer, with the bowtie and everything... hehe ^_~
At the next Nan Desu Kan in Denver, I'm planning to cosplay Phoenix one day and then Conan the next, so I can recycle the blue jacket... it should be fun.

XD Conan definitely doesn't get enough credit over here. Yeah, people can talk about it being repetitive and stuff (which it it! I'm not disputing that!) but it's got some great mind benders to figure out in there. And when you get over the 'I'm a little boy, who's not really a little boy, secretly solving murders' you don't get much story. The story you do get, however, is pretty cool. I love the whole Black Organization junk. I also like that in a male driven manga, there are still strong female characters, good and evil (Ran/Rachel, Jodie-sensei, Vermouth). It altogether is a great series and it should be more popular outside Japan.
... Not to mention, this series has turned me into a total Kaito Kid fangirl. ... XD
