Meitantei Konan Harowin no Hanayome

OK, so I haven't seen every episode or movie of Detective Conan. I mean the series has over 1,150 episodes, so of course I haven't. I was just looking for a fun Halloween themed anime caper, and this fit the bill quite nicely. The movie does a fine job of getting the audience up to speed for newcomers. The movie does a good job keeping the story self-contained, but there are a lot of characters, and it can become difficult to keep track of everyone. The mystery is clever enough for the kids to feel smart for unraveling it. The action is exciting enough to keep everyone engaged. And the comedy is funny enough to get a couple of good laughs.

The plot of the movie is quite normal, and the situations are resolved relatively quickly and easily; I feel that the plot in the movie has a bit of a buff to the main character's talent. Halfway through the movie, I knew who the real culprit was. The content is nothing new and groundbreaking, just watchable, entertaining, and more suitable for fans of Conan than those who want to see the actual movie. No funny scenes are going on. There is some action at the end of the movie.

This year's 25th movie certainly hits different than the movies from the previous years in aspects such as direction of plot, scenery, animations and music.

The plot of the movie is quite one dimensional and easy to follow. I found this more enjoyable than the 21st to 24th movie. Although I wish the case would be harder to solve but it is ultimately enjoyable, new watchers should not have a problem understanding the plot. Watching episode 304 will help with the pre background of this movie as it is somewhat related but not compulsory.

As for scenery and animations, it is the standard and similar to the past few movies. Some people say there is less action in this one but I feel like it has more than the previous ones. The animations with transitions are used well.

Music feels very different as it is done by a different composer this time, you will be able to tell the differences. I feel like the opening could be done better. However, the OSTs are great especially in the cinema.

Overall, I really enjoy this movie and hopefully they can follow this direction and improve in the future movies. As the next movie will surely have high anticipation!

It was a fabiulous combination of mystery,drama and storyline.

They used the police academy characters in nice way.

The flashbacks was great .

The story twists was on time.

This time it was focused more on the story than the action wich is by the way the best thing in conan and what is make uniqe.

I enjoyed this movie. I also liked how the supporting characters had a well-thought-out storyline. And it was pretty moving, I actually teared up in some parts (if you watched the movie you can guess which parts). I was also surprised they showed some 'pretty' intimate scenes. There wasn't much PDA in previous Conan movies or series. And I'm glad everything is evolving for better things. Showing the characters' intimacy toward one another is a step that is moving in the right direction for this franchise. I liked how the movies make it feel a little bit more grounded in reality by implementing death on certain characters. I know it's anime but it makes it a lot more interesting, and it will actually tug at hearts when there's realism involved. Definitely, a must-watch for Conan fans.
