Detective Conan

Plot:
Shinichi Kudo, 17-year-old high school student, while investigating a blackmail case, is attacked by two members of the Black Organization and is given a newly-developed drug that is supposed to kill him. However, due to a rare and generally unknown side effect, the drug doesn't kill him, but transforms his body into that of an seven-year-old grade schooler.

In order to hide his identity and investigate the whereabouts of the Black Organization, he adopts the pseudonym Conan Edogawa, moves in with his childhood friend and crush Mouri Ran, and enrolls in elementary school. He continues investigating criminal cases with Ran and her inept private investigator father, Mouri Kougoro. Shinichi also performs investigations through the Junior Detective League (少年探偵団, Shōnen Tantei-dan), a group he forms with his friends at the elementary school.

As the series progresses, so does the relationship between Shinichi and Ran. Later in the series, his investigation into the Black Organization catches him in the crossfire between the members of the Black Organization and the FBI and CIA agents that were sent to investigate the Black Organization.

I highly recommend the movies. I feel the series is rather long. I mean seriously, 515 episodes and not ended yet. But i am one of the crazy few who has watched almost every single episode because i am a true fan =D I have also noted down the episodes (Most exciting and where the handsome guys appear) to watch. If there are people who wants to know, please drop a comment and i will publish in the future.

My review: This is a rather sad story where the main character shinichi and his girlfriend ran is set apart because of the drug. The main story will be on the murders and crimes where the shrunken shinichi (conan) will have to solve the case and hide his real identity as an elementary schoolboy. I love the main character Shinichi. Other guys like Kaido Kid who looks similar to Shinichi is a theif. I enjoy watching them fight against each other as detective and theif. Therefore i tend to pick some episodes to watch. In addition, they are the most handsome in this show.
