Was this the best artstyle for Conan?

latest AC hints
Spade : Right now, I'm drawing Kazami after a long time
Heart : 'New Horizons' came out, but for now =>
Diamond : I plan to continue updates on 'New Leaf' =>
Clover : So I'm counting on you

That's probably just referencing Zero's Filler Time

uhh.. it's art wasn't by gosho I think?

iirc he draws over what the other artists draw that needs to be touched up

I love this era and how it had movie-like quality to it. It looks so great, I also loved the earliest more childish art because of how well it clashed with the gruesome topics of murder.

He looks like a enchilada now

I loathe the straight lines of the faces, like how his chin is just so fucking ugly. I think out of all of those 2017 demonstrates it the most besides 2019. Some episodes slightly curve, and some are just straight lines and go really far down. It should be illegal to draw Conan ugly. Their modern style worked if 2011 and 2012 are anything to go by. They just kept getting worse somehow.

No, but it was better than now.

>No
Do you have one you like the most?

Should I go with anime or manga?

manga, find the older scans if possible. raws is even better if you could read it.

Manga to make sure you're getting everything straight, the anime is mostly loyal to the manga aside from the first couple seasons when plot is involved which was rare, they didn't want to introduce loose ends and expected the anime to end very early. The anime is absolutely worth it for awhile though. I started with the anime and then went back and read the earlier cases.

Try both. I started with the manga and after 300 chapters and a couple of movies I started doubting my decision. Now after watching 20 episodes I'm really enjoying the tv show but I also want to continue the manga lol. So I guess I'm doing both.

>Try both
By this I of course mean that you should give each one a try and pick the one you like better, not that you should do what I'm doing.

I dropped off the manga before the boat costume party case, maybe I'll just go and check the anime versions of some cases I liked.

Both are good, but the anime redid way too many crucial moments and adapted out of order. Like how Shiho's sister was supposed to die right away or how Conan was supposed to know who Gin & Vodka were on the shinkansen. Go with the manga for the real story.

I wonder why the anime didn't even bother to have him figure their names out.

Whoever did Boku no Pico

Remember how great classic Conan was?

Early 2000'a were comfy, looked good and had SOUL

Yes
This too

fpbp

2025 Conan will just be a bunch of geometrical shapes.

I rewatched it recently and it was much better than I remembered.

Probably because the studio didn't know if this was going to take off or not, so they tried keeping things more distant from the main plot early on.

There is no point to the show now because Conan isn't cute anymore.

In case people are still confused, the english manga did go to Gin and Vodka soon after and did reprints.

>conan's artstyle is so rough now any new waifus have a 9/10 chance of looking terrible
>all the budget in the films go to making a guy as sexy as possible so even when a female character looks good they don't get a lot of time

Nevermind the other characters they ruined Conan's cuteness

Is it me or did he get browner by the year?

Could be the cels but he was definitely more pale before.

We need Aono again. I want to see their version of the other characters made now after the cel era.

I don't understand how anyone can watch this show or read the manga up to date unless they were watching it since the start.
I honest to god tried a few years ago to watch everything but by episode 200 I started skipping anime originals and then I thought I should only watch plot episodes. When I saw that plot episodes literally don't exist I said fuck it because the show just felt so dry.

You either have to love the whodunnit formula or the characters a lot. I love both. Unless it features your husbando the most recent movies don't do justice to the people watching for the mystery or the characters, because they feel like they lack heart and the atmosphere of a good mystery is apparently lost on the writers because everything is just a vessel for action scenes and male fanservice.

>used to love conan but haven't watched it since the artstyle got ugly
>granblue event has all those fujobait characters I don't even know
I guess it changed alot since I watched.

It was always episodic though. The plot episodes just kep getting more and more rare.

I like whodunnits but god with each episode I just cared less and less but I can't remember what exactly was the reason because it's not like the mysteries were all bad in theory. I guess I never felt like they needed to be 20 minutes maybe. Or maybe it's because they kept making cases 2-parters which just really dragged it out.
The characters are fine and all but there's only so many episodes before you get tired of them.
To be fair though, these episodes were meant to be weekly and I was watching at least 1 a day at my slowest.
Yeah it's episodic but I don't see your point

I don't see your point either. Why are you starting somewhere in the middle when the early episodes are the best part?

Mainly how its marketed. In the manga there's a focus on the Akai family, Amuro is far more normally focused than the heavy merchandising and Movie 22 would make it seem. I'm glad he got two spinoff mangas so that he won't infest the mainline series too much like the publisher clearly wants.

Yea it's easy to burn out on Conan if you watch too much of it at once. It can be binged but not too consistently.

I think there's been a misunderstanding. I watched from the very beginning and really enjoyed the show but I started to skip only the anime originals because I personally saw them as lower quality. I could actually identify when I was watching an anime-original before I confirmed it.
I would probably agree earlier episodes are best since that was when I enjoyed it most but again I might have just been burned out later. For reference I gave up around episode 250~
Yeah maybe I should try it again sometime now that it's been a while. Now is as good a time as any.

No this is the best art style

What did you think about Takagi's love quest story?

Attached: transport case.jpg (638x463, 65.15K)

1) Peak Conan is during volume 18 to 43, basically the entire Haibara-Vermouth arc. Even the filler cases are engaging and memorable. The Clash of Red and Black is up there.

2) Movie 1 - 6 are considered the gold standard. Every other movies is average or straight-up garbage.

3) Ai best girl

These are the 3 universal, undisputed consensuses.

>3) Ai best girl
That's true if you're using girl strictly and there's someone else for "woman". There are women in DC that if they were shrunken as main cast lolis they'd easily surpass Haibara.

Wholesome, but Takagi was annoying at times with how shy he could be. Of course he had to be though in order to stretch the story across all those episodes/chapters.

4) youtu.be/87JL_sOnWxM best theme version

Good enough opinion for me. I love Takagi and especially his shyness, it makes it all the more better and endearing when he does something cool. I'm glad that out of everyone he manages to have such a good payoff with his love interest.
