I'll believe in your belief that you are a cyborg, wark

I can't wait until we live in the future and mod our bodies to insane levels ala ghost in the shell or inspector gadget or kiddy grade

literally turn my pinky into a lockpick or jam my ring finger into an ethernet port

have tubes and fluids circulating outside my body to release heat and make it easier to inject medicine (except I guess it's the future so it'll be nanomachines or whatever)

potty posting without the risk of pinkeye using a web browser built into my eyeball

Kiddy Grade? drat, that's an anime I haven't heard mentioned in a clip.

I bought One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 even though I've never watched or read any One Piece because it was on sale for the Switch. Playing through the story mode, now I'm pretty sure that 4Kids having a trash OP for the show screwed me out of watching/reading something really good

it's not like watching one piece from the start as it aired would have saved you from the pacing in the later parts of it just being worse than the manga

Speaking of which, are there any plans for ending Conan at some point? As I recall, the anime is almost in the thousands in terms of episodes.

Though to be fair I don’t think I ever really watched it honestly. Is it worth the slog?

Aurora

there are a fair amount of good episodes

i doubt i'd be compiling a list tho

it's almost entirely episodic so it's not really much of a slog

How much internal continuity does the series have (like are there any arcs you can flat out skip over without really losing anything)?

Aurora

the actual metaplot is a slow burn that may or may not be in an episode

Try reading some manga!


Clever Betty

you can read like 10 chapters in the time it takes to watch one of the episodes! do it!

there's even an official colorized version which is decent, so the only thing you miss out on is the voice acting for the anime(which is admittedly really good, least on the japanese side), though it cuts out long before the current chapters of the manga so you'd have to switch over for those

just watch the show, the first 150 eps are amazing, and when pacing goes to poo poo you can switch to one pace and/or manga.

The Conan wiki marks every ep with anything tangentially related to a larger plot so there’s that if you’re anal about that sort of thing. Conan “arcs” are usually like 4 eps long tho, since they’re just single cases.

it seems like the more you care about the overarching story of conan invariably the angrier you're going to get, because its mostly just conan emotionally abusing ran for 1200 episodes

at least yawara is only 120 episodes of emotional abuse

Aurora

i mean the legitimate fear of losing ran exists

he tries not to involve her or tell her about the black org for her own safety

He should tell Ran. If not that then at least tell her Shinichi is dead so she can friggin' move on with her life.

suda just likes giving different characters the same name and vaguely similar appearances, it's most obvious with travis cause of travis touchdown being his most well-known lead character

it's like how killer is dead is called killer is dead even though it has nothing to do with the killer7 prequel story, also titled killer is dead
