Case Closed: A Little Gem
Happy new year everyone! Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday season! My holiday was great, family flew in from Florida and we partied the last of 2007 away. Well, I have a present for all who haven’t already recieved it. It’s a show that a friend of mine introduced to me too, and it could give old 90’s cartoons such as Sailor Moon and Pokemon a run for their money(Depending on what type of anime you prefer). Case Closed, or Detective Conan in Japan, is a detective show, drawn in the anime type art that we love. Before I tell you why you should love this show, here’s what it’s about: A 17-year old, detective lives in apparently the bloodiest, deadliest town on our planet. Fortunately for the city, genius-sleuth Jimmy Kudo never leaves a crime unsolved. Wait, before you fall asleep on me, the story gets alot more…interesting. After solving a murder case, a series of events leads Jimmy to some sort of big deal going down behind a church. Two shady characters are exchanging a large briefcase of money around. Not noticing a third shady figure creeping up behind him, Jimmy is knocked out, poisoned, and left to die. Instead of killing Jimmy, the experimental poison does something else…it shrinks him. Well okay, maybe de-age-ify him is a better term? No? Basically, 17-year old Jimmy Kudo is now a second grade version of himself. Lucky for him, and us, this change is only physical. Now, Jimmy has to find the people responsible for his dilemma and continue to keep the city he lives in safe. “With a keen eye for details, one truth prevails”
Here is a detailed look at the characters featured in this show, including Rachel and Richard Moore, the members of Jimmy/Conan’s “family”. (CLICK HERE)
