What is Detective Conan?
Detective Conan follows Shinichi Kudo, a brilliant high school detective known as the "Modern Sherlock Holmes," who is mysteriously shrunk to the body of a seven-year-old after witnessing criminal activity. To investigate those responsible while hiding his true identity, he assumes the name Conan Edogawa and moves in with his childhood sweetheart Ran and her father, a struggling private detective. What begins as a personal quest spirals into an endless stream of murder cases and complex mysteries that only the shrunken genius can solve.
The series began airing in January 1996 and remains actively releasing, making it one of anime's longest-running franchises. Detective Conan typically airs episodes with a standard twenty-five minute runtime, though the show occasionally releases extended episodes running approximately fifty, ninety, or over one hundred minutes. The mystery and psychological elements drive the narrative forward, but the blend of adventure and comedy ensures the tone stays engaging across its extensive run.
Fans of detective fiction, puzzle-solving narratives, and character-driven storytelling will find plenty to appreciate here. The combination of episodic mysteries and an overarching plot about Shinichi's condition creates a structure that rewards both casual viewing and dedicated following. Next episode airs September 19, 2026.
Kudo Shinichi is a seventeen year-old high school detective whom people call the "Modern Sherlock Holmes." However, one night after a date with his childhood sweetheart, Ran, Shinichi witnessed an illegal trade and, caught off his guard, was knocked unconscious and fed a drug that was supposed to kill him... but he woke up and found himself shrunken to a seven year-old. In order to track down the men who did this to him, Shinichi hid his identity and lived with Ran, whose father happened to be a hopeless detective, and with that came a series of murders and mysteries that he must solve.
