But Conan fans shouldn't feel too smug, because the voice actors in that series are getting along in years too.Īll that aside, the point of a collaboration like this is to let the fans of both series have fun and enjoy a smart, fast paced and intelligently done piece of entertainment. I always feel that it is unfortunate that Kogoro's character is depicted as being so incompetent in the TV series when the overall story line indicates that he isn't an idiot, but only acts like one because of circumstance.įans of Lupin III will no doubt enjoy hearing all of the old gang of voice actors at it again, however, everyone's age is coming through pretty strongly in their voices. One of the things that I really liked about the special was that Kogoro got to show some competence. But as expected, Fujiko got to show her "charms" quite extensively, and as usual Lupin got to drool but not touch. Since this was a later broadcast than the usual Conan timeslot there was a bit more fan service and more mature remarks, including a reference to Ran's youthful but never-the-less quite ample "proportions". There was lots of humor in the story, particularly from the Lupin gang, but the Conan gang had some of their usual high jinks too. The overall story was quite convoluted with what appeared at first to be divergent plot lines, but everything came together well thanks to some nicely developed surprises. To be fair, the story was much more a Conan mystery than a Lupin adventure, but considering that "Meitantei Conan" is the series that is still on the air regularly and maintains high ratings, that shouldn't be Even the differences in character designs were well integrated yet all of the characters retained their traditional appearances. The writers pulled off the story much better than I expected and all the characters were thoroughly integrated while the various scenes and actions all captured the respective spirits of the two franchises. I just watched the "Lupin III vs Detective Conan" special and it was a lot of fun.
