One Truth Prevails


No way! I'm actually posting something other than stories, gasp!

Two or three years ago, my Uncle John started watching this anime show called Case Closed. I watched it with him and was instantly hooked. A show that combines both murder mysteries and anime, count me in! Case Closed is about a teenage super slueth named Jimmy Kudo. He is slipped some posion when he gets too close to some sinister men in black and is shrunk into an eight year old boy! Now, under the name of Conan Edagawoa, he is staying with his almost girlfriend, Rachel, and her father, Detective Richard Moore, hoping to stumble on the same men in black so he can find the posion and come up with an antidote. In the mean time, he must solve the mysteries meant for Richard (Richard isn't the brightst bulb out of the lot.) It's hard work, especially since Conan's "just a kid" but with his super brains and awsome gadgets he'll find a way!

In any case, you can get some of the episodes on Netflix (or buy them on DVD). Kendle and I can't wait until we can get the next lot of them! Just a warning, the murders a pretty graphic, even if it is cartoon blood and there is some swearing (very minimal compared to High School, I can assure you) but I would definatly recommend this fun anime that has been running since 1996. The real question is: Will Jimmy ever get his real body back? We can only hope so!
