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!

That sounds a little too weird for me... (I'm not big on TV shows, so...)
But glad to have you posting! (We DO love your stories too (hint hint))

I love case closed! I love Jimmy, he is such a good detective and he has mad soccer skills, I mean you can't do better than that, but then there is phantom theif.

Captain Whitney said...

Um... yeah...

sounds like a great show.

I had a dream last night that Ginny-Gin-Gin posted more of her story. It was really weird. Hmm... maybe I just really want to know what happens next! I understand Gin (how big of gaps were there between chapters of Phar?) but... uh... we're dying!

Kendle said...

Really? I'm not. But maybe that's because I know whats after this part . Gin is just really busy,cut her some slack.

Captain Whitney said...

I did mention that I've had HUGE gaps in Phar- I totally understand! And you're not missing out on what happens next- I'm SO curious! Now I understand why my cousin wouldn't read my book until I was done... But you're fine Gin, I'm totally not taking it out on you! Like I said- TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! (But I also understand why you always mentioned Phar... all though I would give Planets higher credit!)

Brianne Ramsay Dosch said...

case closed is such an awesome series. I can't wait to see the movie!

kiki said...

theres a movie or am i just cunfused?

Brianne Ramsay Dosch said...

There is a movie case closed that just came out. So yes there is a movie too

Captain Whitney said...

I'm sorry, that was me. I got a little obsessive about hating clowns... they ARE scary, you have to agree!!

Ginny-Gin-Gin said...

I know, I'm super excited for the movie too! Since it's on your guy's queue you'll probably get it first so you HAVE to tell me if it's good, okay?

It is hard to pick between Jimmy and Phantom Theif. They're both got so much appeal.

Which episode is your favorite? (Besides Phantom Theif KID.)

kiki said...

i can tell that you do not like clowns dear but you dont have to yell it

Brianne Ramsay Dosch said...

The movie is on it's way, I just got the email from netflix! So I don't know what episode is my favorite besides phantom theif, maybe the one with the bandaged guy, or the wedding one, but I don't know.

what's your favorite episode?

Ginny-Gin-Gin said...

For some strange reason I really like the stalker episode. I guess that's really creepy, huh? Also, the Valentine's Day one is good (you haven't seen that one yet) and also the one where Amy gets kidnapped. (Another one you haven't seen.) Oh yeah, I like the mansion one too. He's just so smart in that one!

Brianne Ramsay Dosch said...

Ginny-Gin-Gin said...

Oh my gosh! Was it good?

Brianne Ramsay Dosch said...

Ginny Ginny Ginny Ginny Ginny. Hi. I like case closed to even though he's stuck as a twirp of a kid and is still in live with a 17 yr. old girl, it's still very mind stimulating.

kiki said...

Ginny-Gin-Gin said...

Hey Sarah! It's good to hear from you, you like, died for a very long time there. I'm glad that you liked the movie, I put it on my mom's queue but it had a Very Long Wait so I'm not sure when we'll get it. *sniff*

bluejeanbabyqueen said...

That's the only problem with Net Flix. It's really popular.

kiki said...
