A million billion years later, I have posted my next installment of Detective Conan Movie Cut Scenes!
This collection currently includes Movie 3: Last Wizard of the Century, Movie 8: Magician of the Silver Sky, and the newest addition Movie 10: Private Eye's Requiem!
It's a peek at what I speculate happens in all the scenes we don't see, as well as some scenes we do see but from different perspectives (usually Kaito's).
Please check it out if that sounds interesting to you~! ❤
Special thanks to @dcmkkaishinevents for getting me to actually put in the work and finally, finally finish this WIP!!!
The next movie on my list for this series will be Lost Ship in the Sky ;) It may take me a long time again to get to it, but as always, it will certainly come eventually!

2 of 2 for the DCMK FF Server Noir Zine! @magmatickobaian and I collaborated to create a series of film noir-style posters of the first few movies. <3 We opted to limit ourselves to the first six.
Last Wizard still manages to be my favorite of all 25 aaaaa >___< It's a good movie in its own right and can stand on its own (mostly) separate from mainline canon. You could show this movie to someone who has no idea what Detco is about and they could follow it on the summary in the intro alone. It weaponizes Kaito's mystery by both keeping him entwined with the plot and keeping him away from it. The whodunnit itself isn't even really the primary focus of the story and instead exists alongside the goal of finding the second egg in equal importance, and they feed into each other to move the story along like an Indiana Jones-style adventure movie. Just a good romp overall.
As with most of the early movies, Last Wizard is fairly grounded and the stakes thus feel quite weighty compared to the action extravaganza of later installments-- not to say that the recent films are not fun in their own right, but I much prefer the more subdued stories of the early show and movies. lol ANYWAY
It's been killing me not to share this one LOL I'm stupidly satisfied with it, really think I killed it with the BG and the fire
Check out the zine here!

EXU Calamity is really fascinating genre-wise because “we are approaching a cataclysmic battle of the gods” is, classically, high fantasy, but we’re in a setting where the magic is so advanced it’s blurred with science fiction vs. the usual medieval/maybe early renaissance low magic setting, and it’s established to end in failure.
High fantasy has this as its backstory - I mean, it literally is a backstory - never the actual story. It maybe shows up in visions or fragmented histories or the stories of the extremely long-lived, but it’s never focused on the people who lived in that time unless they managed to achieve immortality and need to be awakened. It’s very much a real type of story within speculative fiction, but it’s almost never given a life of its own.

My god it's been well over a year since I posted anything about the Detective Conan/Case Closed movies even though I have been still watching the series. I just hadn't really sat aside any time to watch the movies in quite some time, I suppose.
Anyway, 5th movie, Countdown to Heaven.
So, to start off, in the current series watch, I'm up to the 580s as far as the regular series goes and I have to say it's refreshing to go back and see the older art style.
Nothing wrong with the newer one, but I admit, I have a love for the older style of the series when it was around the 100s-200s episodes. Some of the scenes had some very split second good animation too and it was well, really nice to see. I love it when animators throw in some fun little fluid animation like that.
So the actual story plot for the movie is...okay. I won't say it was the best thing ever, won't say it was the worst either. I'm glad Gin and Vodka were included because of course it's fun when they toss in the Black Organization characters.
It is a shame they are a little minor, but at least they make a pretty dominate appearance in the 3rd act, so that's something.
Loved more Haibara character development. Seriously if I had to pick one thing I did love about this movie, it was that. I felt like the movie also gave her more of a chance to mourn her sister and I really liked how in the end she was calling her phone just as some way of connecting with her due to feeling loneliness. I about cried, man. That was emotional.
Bad part is that this movie was very heavy on the Detective Boys and while I feel bad saying it, they are kind of my least favorite parts of the series. I'll give it to them, they do get a little better as the story progresses, but since we're back to earlier series with this movie, it was very meh.
Also the movie very oddly felt kind of Conan x Ayumi shippy and if that's your thing, then you might really enjoy this. I, on the hand, am far too loyal to Shinichi x Ran to really want any part of it.
There's also the matter of the story itself feels a little disjointed and I kind of even had a hard time keeping up at first with what was going on when all of the murders were being revealed and how they happened. It was a bit confusing, to be honest.
Anyway, like with 4th movie, it was good, but it felt like it could've very easily been a 3 parter of episodes or something. The start is sluggish and things really don't kick up for some time. But hey, the final part is actiony at least, so you can give it that.
Seriously though, the whole escape from the towers part was really good. I'm glad the movie built up to that at least.
So with that, updated ratings time!
1.) The Fourteenth Target (2nd Movie)
2.) The Time Bombed Skyscraper (1st Movie)
3.) Captured in Her Eyes (4th Movie)
4.) Countdown to Heaven (5th Movie)
5.) The Wizard of the Last Century (3rd Movie)
Yeah, definitely still liked Captured in Her Eyes more. But it still beats The Wizard of the Last Century, so I suppose that's something.
I may have to go back sometime though and rewatch the first four cause I'm curious as to how my feelings would be on a second watch. Perhaps still around the same, who knows?
