Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween

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!

Yasuichiro Yamamoto's gripping and seasonally suitable mystery film "Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween" The movie centers on Conan Edogawa and his pals as they look into a wedding case with a Halloween theme. The story offers a captivating viewing experience with its complex character interactions, creepy atmosphere, and deductive storytelling. The movie demonstrates the Detective Conan series' ongoing appeal while capturing the essence of Halloween. The picture strikes the ideal balance between suspense and humorous moments, and the deft incorporation of holiday elements heightens the intensity. "The Bride of Halloween" adds a lovely storyline, excellent animation, and a touch of nostalgia to the Detective Conan filmography.

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.

No spoiler review of the movie-

1. Serious and Emotional 2. Handkerchief required 3. The best original scenes 4. Police academy squad is unbelievable 4. All characters are active 5. Mai Shiraishi is good 6. Mr. Amuro's cool 7. Conan is cute 8. Soundtracks in the movies are the best 9. Main Theme and ending theme song is too good 10. Next year's movie is too dangerous 11. The most interesting in the past few years.

I haven't cared of Detective Conan for years, then i decided to try this movie when i saw my cinema airing it. Let's just say it's entertaining. Could have been more surpring but nice use of the characters, even if maybe Ran and Kogoro Mori could have deserved more screen time.

Also I didn't notice a big effort in animation as it is usually the case when anime are adapted to the big screen. Maybe it was an upgraded in comparaison to the tv series, but it didn't really feels like it.

Well, a movie adaptation faithfull to its roots, but i expected a little more.
