Here I am writing the first review again! These anime films have probably never been dubbed into English. Anyway, this movie features a serial killer who kills people by rigging explosives up to musical instruments. It actually reminds me of this Looney Tunes cartoon called "Ballot Box Bunny", only this was obviously done more serious. While it was a fairly long time since the previous movie that I saw, I was still quite impressed by the animation. Even in nine or so years, the artwork looks much brighter and clearer! They tell Conan's backstory and I actually really appreciate it here, because it actually ends up being pretty relevant at the end when he talks about what he used to do as Shinichi before he took on this Conan persona. It's interesting to see him actually get attacked and knocked unconscious by the villain. I just came back from a Church that had these giant musical instruments, so maybe I'm just in the mood for that. I believe this is the longest of all the Detective Conan movies. While not the most epic thing out there, still good. Hopefully these will be dubbed someday. ***
