There really isn’t much to say about Detective Conan movies, if you are a fan of the original series, you will definitely love this. And if you are not, then the reason why you are not a fan will still be the same reason why you won’t be a fan of this movie either. Whether it be the animation, the sound and music, or the enthusiasm. An important note to viewers is that this anime tells of a case that revolves around classical musicians so it does have a lot of classical music during the course of the anime which I enjoyed even if I wasn’t much of a fan.
The Detective Conan series has never been, to me, an anime with depth. It consists mainly of short cases using 1 to 3 episodes before unraveling the mystery. And viewers have to go through dozens of episodes before getting a glimpse of what might not even be a meaningful clue to the main plot. The main plot in this anime would be to find the solution of so that Conan can return to being an adult. That is definitely more important than finding the culprit behind this case.
And when lacking in depth, an anime will find it difficult to get viewers to feel attached to it. Especially when running for so many episodes. And that is also why it will have a majority of fan base of children who enjoys more episode to episode stories rather than watching an anime with a deep and long plot laid out. A shallow 3-Star then for this movie is still enjoyable as a good detective anime with a little mystery and more importantly logical and down to earth reasoning.

Cobra Psychogun could have been a rather good anime. It has a story and script that is actually well thought of. There is no lacking in the imaginative process of the anime. We have flying sand whales, cyborg Madonna’s, and viewers will even get to see The Big Bang in animation. Lol! But you will probably laugh, as I did. Unfortunately, that is all it has going for this anime. Old school animation style is used, featuring solid colors and clear hard drawing lines. But it will not be enough to excite. Opening and ending theme also has a good compatibility but will also leave fans dormant.
It is still popular among older anime fans who have watched episodes from the previous years. But if it doesn’t do anything to spark up the overall content animation wise, it might just start losing fans. A well effort accompanied by a well 2-Stars.
