I'm starting off my world with a little rant about Detective Conan, since I've been kinda into it all day. First off, I love the storyline, the action, the suspense, drama and mystery. But seriously, 500+ EPISODES?! Geezus, what more can they show?!
I'm not trying to flame Detective Conan or anything. God forbid! I love the anime to death. All I'm trying to say is when they'll actually get to the end. On one hand, I know that finding a cure for Shinichi's predicament is a long, difficult and stressful procedure. I respect the creator for prolonging it in order to express exactly how long it'll take, while other animes kinda fast forward or skip time periods.
But on the other hand, the constant episodes of various murders and mysteries usually about people you hardly ever see again can get tedious after awhile. And while every so often, an original piece pops up, it's usually buried within the repetitive murder cases.
Again, I love intricate murder mysteries and all that, but I just wanted to state an obvious question: just exactly how LONG is Detective Conan gonna last?!
