Interesting fact about Case Closed/Detective Conan - Around the 900th episode they made it clear that only 6 months have gone by since he became a child. He has solved WELL over 300 Murder Cases mostly in the major cities in 6 months- which is more than the yearly average in all of Japan. On top of that they went from not having cell phones, to having big cell phones, to having flip phones, to having smart phones- in 6 months! I guess that happens when you have been making a series for over 20 years! Oh also if you do that math things continue to get weird seeing as he must be solving 5 of these crimes every day- but some crimes take place over multiple days or even weeks- And people think 10 year old Ash is crazy...
in murder she wrote the amount of cases she solves in one retirement town per capita would have made that sleepy little community the murder capital of America.
part of the problem is the ABSURD amount of filler episodes in the show. After the first 600 or so episodes I just gave up on watching all of them and focused only on the canon episodes. I am fine with the filler eps existing as they will do it if it makes them money and it is making them a lot of money, but I want to know that I will be able to witness a finale to the series before the writer dies.
It's not all that crazy and there's no point in trying to analyze the timeline and the number of cases being solved. The show functions on a floating timeline so I don't think we need to try and make sense out of it. It's meant to be weekly whodunit plots with minor main arc developments.

Donald N I get you, I really do. Seeing as I am an artist and author myself, this goes double for me. Being the latter, there is absolutely nothing for me to complain about in that regard. It’s incredibly well-written, though a bit slow at times, so worth the pay-off on the long term. The One Piece world truly has this intriguing, timeless, and ever-changing dynamic revolving around its story, plot, setting, and characters. It may not be quite as apparent from the artstyle alone, but make no mistake. If you will yourself to set that aside and look into the depth of this series, I believe that you will take joy in all the variety that it has to offer. I’m not sure if this would work for you, but I gave it a chance, focusing only on investing myself in it and having fun throughout the journey rather than its length and overall hype. Yes, those factors were of course tucked at the back of my mind, but they were never my sole drive to continue this series. In fact, even now, I am not yet caught up and still have a big of a long way to go, but I genuinely have never come across something that has touched me in so many ways. The stories and characters within One Piece feel so inherently human, on a much deeper level than mere appearance and biological structure. It’s a phenomenal experience, and one that I highly recommend to anyone willing to get lost in a world as extricate and detailed as this one. Certainly, however, it all goes back to you. If you still do not wish to get into the series, then it is most definitely, by any and all means, your decision. :) If you by any chance are contemplating it, then I suggest “The Appeal of One Piece: Where to Start” but Super Eyepatch Wolf, who has, well, put it a lot better than I ever could have 😅 In any case, I hope that you stay safe and take care ♥️
watching 0nepiece is the way ... takes s0 fukin l0ng but... it is th way. that said if u read it u will end up watching the wh0le sh0w bef0re its finished
Geoff: "Can always be deduced by the clues provided to the audience" Me: Crying as I watch the 100th mystery where the solution is locked behind some form of Japanese wordplay and wondering how in the world I could figure it out or how this would be translated in the dub.
@@randomkriegsman8444 His point is that watching the sub certain jokes/clues do not translate well and puns in japanese aren't going to be recognized by those who don't fluently speak it. It's absolute horseshit that they cut the show's dub because of ratings when they had it on at 1:30 in the morning. It is one of the greatest dubs of all time and only 1/8 of the episodes and 6/24 of the movies can be experienced in that form.
Meanwhile, I, with my weeb skills of learning weird Japanese phrases just from watching Detective Conan (selfie stick is 自撮り棒!), variably get super excited when I *get* the wordplay or super annoyed because I can't think of a single way to localize it and I didn't get it either. And sometimes the mysteries' solutions rely on information not conveyed to the audience. There was one episode in which a woman was poisoned in a bar and I was convinced the female suspect was the culprit and put the poison on the coaster, because she would be the only one to know that women cover their unattended drinks with coasters to avoid getting drugged. But nope, it was [redacted], because [backstory motive] and [convoluted explanation for weird behavior quirk].
Gotta disagree hard with him on that one, most of the time Jimmy finds half the evidence and makes half the deductions off screen so that he can always surprise the audience with the out of nowhere reveals too
i did it with the anime both and with OP i just don't recommend watching 900+ episodes and i mean the amount of time you could just watch like several 50's 12's 24's 26's episodes
The mystery they will never solve in Case Closed/Detective Conan is: Why do Amy/Ayumi's parents let her hang out with Conan? She has been kidnapped twice, and she's been to countless murder sites, possibly even witnessing some. Seriously, how can those parents think their little girl is safe with Conan?
him: I read 200 chapters of one piece in a week and I have a problem me: the person who read caught up to big mom arc from chapter 1 in about 10 days Do I have a problem, or is one piece just that good? poll below thumbs up = yes, I have a problem thumbs down = no, one piece is just that good
I started watching the dub first as well, and when I ran out of dub episodes, I told my sister, "they will always be Jimmy and Rachel to me! " 800+ episodes later and I can't stand the dub names for anything.
Cardcaptor Sakura is, much like Pokemon Sun and Moon, a kids show for everyone. It's characters are lovable, the story is interesting and actually exists, it's funny but knows how to tear at your heartstrings, and Tomoyo is best best friend in all of fiction.
@@cindymarie9672 the team of crwtices that made cardcaptur are known for their weird shit like this . Honestly I dont know how they got away with the depictions of a middle school child with her teacher , regardless of how 'mature' they imply she is . Actually baffling
@@MaiDay01 Yeah, I agree. Especially since the girl was in fourth grade... not to mention the relationship between Tomoya and his teacher... and Sakura's mom and Sakura's dad (a teacher)... I'm starting to see a trend here. I was really freaked out when I learned that Sakura's mom was only sixteen when she got together with her teacher.
@@Phatnaru0002 my life even got better. I started an internship in an IT-company. Since it is a small company, they don't really have put much effort into enabling home office, so usually I would have to travel the 35 miles to there every day (and back of course). However, thanks to corona the boss asked for volunteers to test how good home office works. I was like "sign me up!" Next week will be far more chill than the first weeks, because I don't need to travel nearly 2 hours each day.
I loved watching Case Closed as a kid. It’s nice to know that one of Japan’s longest running children’s shows is a mystery series with actual murder in it.
What interest me is that Detective Conan's cases are disproportionately murders, (no rapes or sexual assaults, very few kidnappings (usually involving Ayumi, or Ran), few robberies/thefts) and that in the country that has the lowest murder rate in the world (0.3 per 100,000) or 509 in 2009....
@@BloodDraek I'm not a Westerner and grew up only with Shinichi, so the name Jimmy is the highest degree of blasphemy for me lol. The day I discovered "Jimmy" was one of the worst day of my life.
Hey, finally someone on anime UA-cam who gives Case Closed/Detective Conan ANY kind of recognition! Never thought I'd see that. That anime was made to be binge watched. Thank goodness you can just about jump anywhere into the story, so long as you know the characters and the story arc.
As I was watching this video, I realized that Ranma 1/2 would be a perfect candidate for re-adaptation. The original anime didn't finish covering what was in the manga, and I would LOVE to see the rest adapted!
Loved the show, then inuyasha became ranma and I stopped because I couldn’t listen to his voice at all. The older voice actor was so much better and the last episode she was in to play him was the best send off I could get that I decided to stop the show there
To add to Yu Yu Hakusho, anyone who's even remotely interested in Shounen anime needs to see Yu Yu Hakusho. Even though its not as refined as HunterxHunter, i still find its main four characters to be far more compelling than those of its successor, with the exception of Killua. On top of that, as you watch the show you'll notice how many popular Shounen series took heavy inspiration from both YYH and Togashi's work in general. For instance, Naruto's Shikamaru and Kabuto's abilities can be traced back to Kido and Dr. Kamiya in the Chapter Black arc and even Bleach's story characters are also somewhat reflective of YYH. And of course Sasuke's backstory is clearly derived from Kurapika from HxH with some minor sensibilities borrowed from Hiei as well. Not to mention the Dark Tournament is still one of, if not the best tournament arc in shounen with only a few other arcs rivaling it to this day. And let's not forget Toguro as one of Anime's best villain. Also, the dub is fucking phenomenal to the point where the vast majority of anime fans will agree its better than the Japanese dub. There aren't enough words for me to describe just how god damn awesome Yu Yu Hakusho is.
Naruto takes a lot from Hunter x Hunter (Chuunin Exam is like the Hunter exam, Sasuke is like Kurapika, Orochimaru is like Hisoka, Akatsuki is like the troupe), and Bleach takes a lot from Yu Yu Hakusho (A lot of little things, but the biggest offender is the Fullbring Arc which is just the Sensui arc, but not as good.)
I agree about the main antagonists being missing for what feels like years in Detective Conan, but when they do appear for an arc, the plot of the anime gets driven up to hype level of amazing. If and when the series ends, someone needs to make an episode list to highlight all the episodes with the Black Organization.
the detectiveconanworld wiki (just google detective conan episodes) has all the episodes categorized by which ones include the black organization, character development, romance, etc
For future reference Kaiji ultimate survivor 1:56 52 episodes Baby steps 4:36 Space brothers 7:17 99 episodes Full metal alchemist brotherhood 7:45 Magi the labyrinth of magic 8:24 2 seasons Pokemon sun and moon 11:11 Yuyu hakusho 12:11 Ranma 15:06 Case closed 18:30 Close to 1000 (Don’t read) One piece 21:48
The Ranma bit gave me flashbacks to the Moral Panics it created here in the 90s, and also reminded me of how much I love Tatewaki Kuno, anime's best idiot. I really need to rewatch it.
Diana gateño I’m so happy Supereyepatch and Geoff started talking about Kaiji man! Definitely a show any fan of the suspense-psychological genre needs to watch! Can’t say enough good about it
@@danofthehour4822 One, the fact that you mixed the places if the M and the N is hilarious and adorable, lol (MSNBC for curious non-Americans). And two, Kaiji indeed IS much better. Geoff is who I think got me curious to watch it. At the time, Kakegururi had started and after being left dissatisfied a few episodes in with the show, I stumbled upon Geoff's review of why he too felt Kaiji was better at being a gambling anime. And he was right. I never returned to Kakegururi but I absolutely binged Kaiji's seasons. I'd like to rewatch it though the ending makes me want to throw my TV through a window, lol!
Self-isolate? Unfortunately my job is far too important for that... spending all day telling customer after customer that we are completely out of toilet paper and don't know when more is going to arrive. That is absolutely vital work I say! Honestly a small part of me kind of wants to get corona virus already so I can spend a week inside finishing space brothers and re-watching Anohanna and A Place Further than the Universe as opposed to my current life's purpose of wresting processed wood products out of people's grasp.
Fun Fact: Some stores of one of the biggest Supermarket chains in Belgium closed because they had no more merch. The trucks couldn't keep up with the demand?
I am binge watching detective conan now and I am extremely impressed how the mangaka is able to come up with so many different mysteries. I hope that I will be able to keep watching it until the end because I am really wanting to find out how it will end.
"Monster "is also a well written 74 episode anime that aired from 2004 to 2006 Just watch the first episode. Great premise and well executed throughout the series
Ahh, Jimmy Kido. He wanted to be the greatest detective of the 1990's. It's now 2020, and he's still stuck as an 8 year old. If the characters had aged along with real time, he'd be older than when he first took the drug!
@@raphaelpulmano2212 also, at least the movies and shorts imply ash had AT LEAST aged 1 year (that short him organizing a party for the anniversary since meeting pikachu)
Case Closed was what got me into anime, so I'll keep watching it no matter how long it goes. It's not one I'd recommend to anyone, but it's my number one.
These are my exact thoughts about the series lol. It's my all time fav, mostly due to nostalgia I'm sure, but god it sure is hard to explain to others why they shouldn't watch it, especially if I seem to enjoy it so much.
@Eren Jaeger Rum isn't the boss, they're the 2nd in command. But I guess we'll get the actual boss aftet the Rum arc. Yeah the end should be on the horizon relatively soon. Maybe another 5-15 years max
Black Clover made me see the beauty of longer anime. Like seeing the openings even and seeing how the characters have grown and progressed and won over the battles foreshadowed and like seeing the characters grow in the actual show and let go of some of their fears or bad points and how they inspire eachother and all this its so beautiful. Plus the worldbuilding is incredible.
@@reguluscorneas3387 LOL me too XD Hmm.. here are some recommendations.. try March Comes in Like a Lion, Shokugeki no Souma, or Psycho-Pass If you're looking for some shorter series.. try Steins;Gate, Fate/Zero, or Vivy: Flourite Eye's Song Its all different genres :)
Detective Conan is the only series I maintain an Excel file to monitor what I've watched since I have decided after 600-700+ episodes in, I would prioritize watching the canon episodes and be selective on Anime Originals
Finally, after roughly 30 years of training, my expertise is finally is demand. Now that everyone is concerned with "social distancing" I will be able to flaunt my talent, and teach them my ways! I shall hold a seminar, and exactly nobody is invited! Hopefully, that is the only lesson they will need.
I’m sorry but Baby Steps should not be on the same level as Haikyuu. Sure it’s good but it’s not even the best tennis anime. I prefer Stars Align and Prince of Tennis more. Also, I don’t mind romance anime but it’s not my cup of tea.
Conan and Ranma are what truly dragged me into this community. They are my two most favorite anime of all time. (I once went 2 months without watching a detective conan ep, and when I watched it again I cried during the op because I missed it so much.)
The Ranma 1/2 description is fabulous. I laughed out loud a few times, thank you. And I appreciate the inclusion of Detective Conan. It was my childhood and it has a special place in my heart since it’s what got me into anime in the first place. I can’t explain how excited I got about death and corpses as an 11 years-old. I explained to a classmate once what chloroform and potassium cyanide was and I think they’re still scared of me.
As a person who both read and watched all of magi, I sincerely recommend it. It has everything, and is a really good thing to spend your time with (and cry over LOTS at some points, at least I did). The anime also has a side-story called Adventures of Sinbad, and take place in the days of youth of one of the more-important character/-s. It also has a manga it's based off, and gives that character a special time to make one realize and understand the future actions, especially in the manga. I really recommend ALL of it, since the author Shinobu Ohtaka took her time to create the vast universe of Magi and the characters in it and that should not be wasted.
NATSUME YUUJINCHOU!! (or: natsume's book of friends) cute, emotional, and heartwarming yokai slice of life anime with eight 26 epsiode seasons :D!! Highly underrated but 100% with ur time. about a orphan 15 y/o kid who has been able to see yokai his whole life (but very very very few other ppl can) and his struggles dealing with both yokai issues, shenannigans with his friends both yokai and non yokai related (since no one knows he can see them), and general slice of life wholsomeness with an added heaping of found family for the foster family that adopts him ! (which isn't rlly spoiler its in first ep). while show mostly stays in current time, they jump back to natsume's past somtimes to show how he dealt with yokai stuff and other foster families in the past, some of which majorly sucked. while there //is// a little bit of an over arching plot, once u see first episode u cna kinda skip around as u please. animation and music is gorgeous as well!!
Not to be toooo dirty, but I would love it if a guy actually became a girl, had intercourse, and realized how much guys have no freaking clue what to do in bed sometimes.
AND THE BEST PART ABOUT HIM GOING NUTS ABOUT ONE PIECE IS HE HASN'T EVEN HIT WATER SEVEN OR THE ENTIRE SABAODY -> SUMMIT WAR ARC YET! HE'S GOING TO EXPLODE
One Piece is a series that arguably, consistently, gets better as it goes on. It would be foolish to say that there aren't dips in quality here or there, but from start to now I can count on my hands the number of times I thought, "Man is this going somewhere? Can we just get to the next arc?" It's so damn good!
I'm reading the localized version of Detective Conan's manga (At least I was, until corona came around) And I was consistently baffled at how well the cases were realized and how.. not boring.. the repetitive nature of the series was. And I even remember some of the cases you showed in the video!
As someone who has watched almost all of detective conan's 900 something episodes and all the movies I can say it is actually really good and probably will never end I'm so happy you recommended it lol
First Gigguk says he hasn’t seen FMAB yet, and now you’re telling me you haven’t seen HUNTER X HUNTER? That’s it, the anime Pope is a heretic, a machination of the 3D devil himself.
I made myself sit through the first season of HxH and it was garbage. but people keep telling me that the cool stuff happens later and they have cool fights... but seriously, forget that first season. This anime needs to come with the warning that you should skip the first season of HxH. I hope kekfa does cool stuff later on, and I was not excited by a white haired sasuke. the show's kuwabara does almost nothing except tag along. Gon = goku. and the organization they're trying to join doesn't make any sense. I really can't recommend sitting through it.
I highly doubt you’ll be able read this since this will get lost in the comments, but I’ll try anyway. Back in 2014 I had surgery and was at home for a couple of weeks. I had watched anime before this and enjoyed it, but it wasn’t until this two week period that I actually got hit with any kind of emotions. Hunter x Hunter was the anime that hooked me into watching anime almost daily. I value your recommendations highly because I haven’t watched one that you said was good and not absolutely loved it. That’s why I would like to pay you back. Please watch hunter x hunter. I realize there’s probably a reason you haven’t seen it yet and you probably have been exposed to spoilers. I know the hiatus is ever looming, but it is better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all.
I try to tell people this all the time. People are usually put off by the stigma surrounding anime. However there's a good few out there with amazing depth , storyline etc. HxH is my all time favorite anime simply because of the strategy and unique worldbuilding. You just have to give the right one a try cause there IS a lot of weird stuff out there.
Naoki Urasawa's style isn't dated, it's fucking iconic; the issue is with the compositing, which *is* kind of dated, but the art itself, in addition to the exquisite storytelling, more than carries it. Also Kuniaki Haishima's score is really underrated, aside from the opening which everyone acknowledges is baller.
Detective conan ( case closed) is really popular in the middle east ( I'm from Iraq btw) I always liked the earlier cases more because of how strange and brutal they can be and the earlier art style was way better than later seasons style . We always joke about the series very long run saying things like : Why all the characters still young especially conan? How come kogoro didn't die from drug overdose yet? 🤣🤣🤣
poland - borders closed, flights stopped, school and uni closed, restaurants and bars closed, gandering under 50 people allowed, country under a state of epidemic threats
Other long series: monster (mystery/ thriller), natsume's book of friends (wholesome paranormal), mushishi (all the season will add around 60 chapters), some oldies of shoujo fit here...
I could hug you! FINALLY someone else who enjoys Mushi-shi! I JUST commented here that this was my recommended anime as well (and in truth, one of my favorites!) Good tastes, my friend ^_^
It was filler, but it was the ever-elusive *good* filler. Nothing to do with where the plot was currently heading, but still subtly pulling off having Aang get a feel for the role of (eventually, global) peacekeeper. And, as was pointed out on an FB thread recently enough, it had some *great* facial expressions.
"Favorite sports anime..." Oh you better say Ping Pong or you're dead to me. "...That premiered on April, 6th 2014" You get a pass it premiered a week later.
Even with all of the filler and the fact that it seems the ending will never be animated, I will always recommend Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Was not the first anime I watched but definitely is my favorite despite its flaws. All of the characters ware so lovable and at the end not only do you want Tsuna to succeed but the entirety of the Vongola
Dude, it was literally the same for me I love Katekyo Hitman Reborn and I sometimes enjoy to go back and watch the Tsuna vs Byakuran fight. It's just awesome
It's one of those that I love but at the same time struggle to recommend because for as much as I love it, as frustrating it is, lol. I found it REALLY hard to get into, the first...idk 13 to 17 episodes or so are just SO different from the rest of the show so I really don't blame anyone who gives up during those, thinking it's not their thing. The fact that it stops before the end of the manga is really frustrating too. I'd actually argue it has very little ACTUAL filler and the few it has are pretty good, but there is a lot of canon that feels like filler... Despite all that, it's in my top 10 and I love it, but I always hesitate to recommend it to people for the aforementioned issues :x I guess if I enjoyed it I should just trust that other people will enjoy it too if they just give it a try.
All recomendations:- Kaiji: ultimate survivor Baby steps Maji: the labyrinth Yu yu hakusho Ranma 1/2 Detective conan Haikyuu!!! Space brothers Avatar-the last airbender Pokémon: sun and moon
I know you'll never see this. But I wish you'd know how much you've helped me appreciate anime. I started watching Magi because of this video and just 5 episodes in, I ask my wife "where has this anime been in my life" every few minutes.
I'm so mad AoT and fma where the first 2 anime I ever watched because they were on Netflix. Nothing I've seen since has surpassed for me though I have watched some great stuff since. I'll try watching Magi too
Guys, quick reminder regarding yu yu hakusho. The Dub of this anime is legendary for being one of the best dubs ever made. Do your self a favor and watch the dub. You wont regret it.
i tried it. but seeing as english isn't my first language i kinda strugled to hear most of the lines and i just quit at the start of the dark tournament ark
Started watching gintama a few days ago. Currently at episode 82 and I whole heartedly recommend it. Probably the most hilarious anime I have ever watched with some cool action as well.
I adore Yu Yu Hakusho! It’s what got me into anime and is regarded as my favorite anime (nostalgia factor). I used to cry if I missed an episode as a child, mind you I was 7. I’ve rewatched it several times as an adult. I argue that most of Yu Yu is stronger then HxH.
I watched Yu Yu Hakusho recently and realized that I had seen part of it when I was younger (probably on Toonami). After rewatching, it's now one of my top anime.
I too was introduced to Case Closed when I was a teenager. I unapologetically use the dubbed names as well even long after I stopped watching the dub. The dub has its charm though. I bought some of the early seasons on DVD and prefer to watch those dubbed.
excuse you, its Bobby Jackson, Claudia & famous Detective Carlos Guzman... I love the fact that every dub of Detective Conan gives the cast entirely different names to the point several cases become literally impossible to solve since the main clue is the killer/victim names
I want to add to the Cased Closed talk. I've been watching since high school, so about 2004, gawd I think I just broke a hip typing that, and there's three things I feel you need to know/accept in order to enjoy the show, iffin you intend on enjoying it. So thing one, as mentioned in the video, the show doesn't have much in the way of resolution. It started in 1986 or so and is still going strong today. That's not to say that it's all dilly dallying but well there are long stretches of filler, usually you can tell by the quality of the mystery, looking at you bee episode. If you love mysteries it's still a fun ride and if you don't love mysteries maybe just watch the movies, which are the show turned up to 11. Second thing, as mentioned it started in 86, and it's set in present day. We're now in 2020 and it's still set in present day. It's not always the best at handling that. A good example is that early on Shinichi's inventor friend/neighbor, it was the 80s everyone had one, invents badges so he and his kid friends can communicate, but now they all just have cell phones. Things like that. And thirdly if you do decide to binge it. You will developed something called detective brain. You'll see mysteries everywhere and will instinctively try and solve them. During this period it's best to keep it all to yourself. You will sound crazy, trust me. Cased closed is great but it is still going so, don't just buckle up, hunker down. Because it will outlive us all.
David Cruz *the manga started in 94 and the anime premiered in 96 ;) Detective Conan is actually my first memory ever of watching something on TV, when I was 5/6. I’m 20 now, following on and off, and I’m quite afraid I’ll literally die before it ends (or that Gosho Aoyama, DC’s creator will)!
When you’re isolated, separated from your friends, and only being social when going to work at an hellish retail job...... *BEASTARS & Castlevania goes CRAZY*
At the start of all this, I found myself getting super anxious over the state of the totally-fine world, so I decided I needed to watch a nostalgic old anime with a simple, straightforward, predictable plot, one that had been on my "I should really watch that someday" list for a long time, to take my mind off of everything. I am now almost 70 episodes into the original Sailor Moon series (subbed) and loving it. :D
better switch over to the manga soon because you're around the point in the anime where it gets INTOLERABLE. like, from the point they went into a flashback within a flashback in Enies Lobby, it's only gone downhill. toei don't give a fuck about quality animation or consistency or avoiding filler, they'll stretch every single 19 page chapter into a 22 minute episode. the only, ONLY good part about it is the voice actors are all great.
@@AStandsForFrench I caught up to the anime when they were on their way to Zou and I actually loved all of it. I can understand why some arcs (we all know which ones) would be intolerable if you were watching week to week but if you're binging the pace doesn't seem nearly as slow.
I remember when I stated to watch case closed. I stated to watch it when I was 10 years old and I would say it is my favourite anime to this day😁 I also just started to watch it again after not watching it for a few years.
Damn. I'm only on episode 50 so far. Felt like rewatching the whole thing (I tired of the anime around ep 840) when it finally became legally available on Chruncyroll over here.
Andreas Nicklasson yeah, years ago, back when I was like in HS, I stopped watching during the Alabasta arc, and then I decided to binge from episode 1 again, I literally did nothing but eat, sleep for a few hours, and watch One Piece for a whole month. It was crazy, but that was back in like 2014 that I did that
There are currently 924 episodes of OP, at 24 minutes per episode that works out to about 370 hours of anime, or more than 15 days straight of anime. If you slept 8 hours per day and didn't eat/shower for 16 hours of watching per day it'd take 23 days to finish the series. Mind you the series is weekly, so every 3 weeks you can add an hour to that total.
The two shows I’ll recommend are both sports anime so that will probably cause 90% of people to skip this comment. Anyways if you haven’t seen it yet “Hajime no Ippo” is a fantastic boxing anime with 76 episodes in its first season with two additional seasons making it come out to 127 eps. The show has great pacing between the build up to matches and then the matches themselves. The other show I feel is often overlooked amongst other sports shows, but if you want a hardheaded yet hard working character that grow from a boy into a man go watch “Major”. It has 154 episodes over the course of 6 fucking seasons and was honestly a show I would have past up on had my roommate not urged me to watch it with him. Compared to Hajime no Ippo this feel like a harder sell especially since Ippo is one of my favorites but I still wanted to mention it anyways. I mean watching the show gave me a much greater understanding of baseball overall.
I just recently found your videos and I’ve got to say this is the only channel that is entertaining, educational, and tolerable to watch over all the other channels of this genre! There’s no ear breaking loud edm music, no muffled talking, pleasant voice, and helpful info. Thanks for the good work!
There’s a lot of long series animes out there. Must I guess you can say “old school” such as Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball. But I feel Ranma 1/2 should be one of those classics everyone should watch.
When you were mentioning the classics, I'm surprised Slayers didn't get a nod. It has over 100 eps, and is a must-watch for any anime fan that also enjoys D&D or similar games.
I LOVE SLAYERS I actually made a dnd one shot based on S3 Jillas's temple episode. And so far I seen the first 3 seasons around 4 times. ehehe Tho the 4th season I have to admit isn't as great.
Japanifornia á la Ace Attorney and Case Closed is my favorite. That setting, combined with that late 90's/early 2000s feel of those localized works just gives me major nostalgia.

@@alexh7849 RIGHT?!? There's just something about that anime that really does it for me. I can go back to it anytime, and I actually just finished rewatching it.
I love how I haven't watched the shorter series in this video but have seen every single 100+ episode series that was recommended. Then again, I did get into anime about 17 years ago.
It's an obvious one, but I'll always recommend Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, 2nd GIG and Solid State Society, an exquisite cyberpunk thriller that balances both philosophical questions about the nature of humanity, just like the classic, seminal manga it's roughly based on, well-directed, quick action and plots ranging from human trafficking to a series of apparently unrelated terrorist attacks in a post-World War III and IV Japan that sprung back up from the ashes of the war as one of the world's major powers thanks to *NANOMACHINES, SON* . For something a little less known and especially if fantasy and JRPGs are your thing, Magical Circle Guru Guru is the series for you. With a first season of 45 episodes produced in the mid-90s, a 38-episode second season produced in the early 2000s and a 2017 24-episode remake by Production I.G, the story follows the gentle-hearted, naive little mage girl Kukuri, the last of the Migu Migu tribe who can use the Guru Guru magic, and the "Hero of the Legend" Nike, raised by his parents with the hope that he'd become a world-renowned and famous hero due to having his father's dreams pushed onto him, given that no great evil arose during his father's youth. Together, their mission is to defeat the evil Lord Giri, who was freed from the magic that sealed him for 300 years, and can only be defeated by Guru Guru magic. The series as a whole is both a love letter and a parody of the JRPGs of the 80s and 90s, particularly Dragon Quest, developed by the actual publishers of the series, Enix (yes, Square Enix is the owner of Gangan Comics, which published Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater, too), and while it does rely on toilet jokes once or twice, it's an absurd and hilarious journey with literal side quests and RPG mechanics baked into both the story and the world's inner logic, almost as if the characters are aware of being inside a JRPG. If you're into sports, instead, I fondly suggest yet another gem from the past, Mitsuru Adachi's magnum opus Touch, a whopping 101-episode story that follows twin brothers Tatsuya and Kazuya Uesugi and their shared love interest, next-door girl Minami Asakura. Due to a childhood promise to her, Kazuya decides, once enrolled in Meisei High School, that he's gonna put his whole being into baseball so that he can become the team's ace pitcher and bring them to the Koshien, Japan's national high school baseball tournament, named after the Hanshin Koshien Stadium in Nishinomiya, home to the Hanshin Tigers. It's a beautifully woven story of sports, love, personal growth and drama which will bring you to both exciting peaks of hype and depths of sadness and desperation - because, spoilers, and I do mean it, SPOILERS, the morning of the final game of the prefectural tournament of their first year, Kazuya is struck by a truck in a traffic accident, losing his life while saving a kid, leaving his twin brother Tatsuya and the baseball team utterly emotionally destroyed, and so Tatsuya takes his deceased brother's mantle in order to fulfill his dream and his promise to their friend. Much shorter (and sadly with a bit of fluff in the middle), but also the only non-manga based anime in this list is The Secret of Blue Water, the first anime ever produced by Gainax, directed by Hideaki Anno and based on a concept pitched by Hayao Miyazaki to NHK in the 1970s, it's a fascinating steampunk adventure set in 1889 and following the adventure of titular Nadia (as the original title of the series, "Fushigi no Umi no Nadia", "Nadia of the Mysterious Seas", features her front and center much like the story), a 14-year-old circus acrobat of unknown origins and Jean, a young French inventor of the same age as they run from thieves Grandis, Sanson and Hanson, who are after Nadia's *actually* titular pendant, the Blue Water, tied to her mysterious past.
@@Earls_sweaty_shirt i think i have seen or tried watching it. never finished it i think. ergo proxy though i finished in a couple of days. i was much younger when i tried watching ghost in a shell though; maybe i should give it a new try. i just faintly remember young me thinking the characters in it was whiny... lol
One of my favourite lines in all of manga, btw, from the Danish translation of Ranma 1/2. When Akane meets Male Ranma: "I'll drown that voyeur in his own bath water!"
Interesting fact about Case Closed/Detective Conan - Around the 900th episode they made it clear that only 6 months have gone by since he became a child. He has solved WELL over 300 Murder Cases mostly in the major cities in 6 months- which is more than the yearly average in all of Japan. On top of that they went from not having cell phones, to having big cell phones, to having flip phones, to having smart phones- in 6 months! I guess that happens when you have been making a series for over 20 years! Oh also if you do that math things continue to get weird seeing as he must be solving 5 of these crimes every day- but some crimes take place over multiple days or even weeks- And people think 10 year old Ash is crazy...
in murder she wrote the amount of cases she solves in one retirement town per capita would have made that sleepy little community the murder capital of America.
part of the problem is the ABSURD amount of filler episodes in the show. After the first 600 or so episodes I just gave up on watching all of them and focused only on the canon episodes. I am fine with the filler eps existing as they will do it if it makes them money and it is making them a lot of money, but I want to know that I will be able to witness a finale to the series before the writer dies.
It's not all that crazy and there's no point in trying to analyze the timeline and the number of cases being solved. The show functions on a floating timeline so I don't think we need to try and make sense out of it. It's meant to be weekly whodunit plots with minor main arc developments.
I thought it was one year? Not that that makes anything better...
Didn't they have multiple Christmas episodes?

I honostly never liked the art style or I would
Donald N
I get you, I really do. Seeing as I am an artist and author myself, this goes double for me. Being the latter, there is absolutely nothing for me to complain about in that regard. It’s incredibly well-written, though a bit slow at times, so worth the pay-off on the long term. The One Piece world truly has this intriguing, timeless, and ever-changing dynamic revolving around its story, plot, setting, and characters. It may not be quite as apparent from the artstyle alone, but make no mistake. If you will yourself to set that aside and look into the depth of this series, I believe that you will take joy in all the variety that it has to offer.
I’m not sure if this would work for you, but I gave it a chance, focusing only on investing myself in it and having fun throughout the journey rather than its length and overall hype. Yes, those factors were of course tucked at the back of my mind, but they were never my sole drive to continue this series. In fact, even now, I am not yet caught up and still have a big of a long way to go, but I genuinely have never come across something that has touched me in so many ways. The stories and characters within One Piece feel so inherently human, on a much deeper level than mere appearance and biological structure. It’s a phenomenal experience, and one that I highly recommend to anyone willing to get lost in a world as extricate and detailed as this one.
Certainly, however, it all goes back to you. If you still do not wish to get into the series, then it is most definitely, by any and all means, your decision. :) If you by any chance are contemplating it, then I suggest “The Appeal of One Piece: Where to Start” but Super Eyepatch Wolf, who has, well, put it a lot better than I ever could have 😅
In any case, I hope that you stay safe and take care ♥️

Geoff: "Can always be deduced by the clues provided to the audience"
Me: Crying as I watch the 100th mystery where the solution is locked behind some form of Japanese wordplay and wondering how in the world I could figure it out or how this would be translated in the dub.
You don’t have to worry about the dub.
Funimation stopped dubbing at episode 130.
: (
@@randomkriegsman8444 His point is that watching the sub certain jokes/clues do not translate well and puns in japanese aren't going to be recognized by those who don't fluently speak it.
It's absolute horseshit that they cut the show's dub because of ratings when they had it on at 1:30 in the morning. It is one of the greatest dubs of all time and only 1/8 of the episodes and 6/24 of the movies can be experienced in that form.
JPAnnichiarico uhhh I knew his point I was just saying the dub stopped at episode 130 so after that point it becomes a non issue
Meanwhile, I, with my weeb skills of learning weird Japanese phrases just from watching Detective Conan (selfie stick is 自撮り棒!), variably get super excited when I *get* the wordplay or super annoyed because I can't think of a single way to localize it and I didn't get it either.
And sometimes the mysteries' solutions rely on information not conveyed to the audience. There was one episode in which a woman was poisoned in a bar and I was convinced the female suspect was the culprit and put the poison on the coaster, because she would be the only one to know that women cover their unattended drinks with coasters to avoid getting drugged. But nope, it was [redacted], because [backstory motive] and [convoluted explanation for weird behavior quirk].
Gotta disagree hard with him on that one, most of the time Jimmy finds half the evidence and makes half the deductions off screen so that he can always surprise the audience with the out of nowhere reveals too

I loved watching Case Closed as a kid. It’s nice to know that one of Japan’s longest running children’s shows is a mystery series with actual murder in it.
What interest me is that Detective Conan's cases are disproportionately murders, (no rapes or sexual assaults, very few kidnappings (usually involving Ayumi, or Ran), few robberies/thefts) and that in the country that has the lowest murder rate in the world (0.3 per 100,000) or 509 in 2009....

To add to Yu Yu Hakusho, anyone who's even remotely interested in Shounen anime needs to see Yu Yu Hakusho. Even though its not as refined as HunterxHunter, i still find its main four characters to be far more compelling than those of its successor, with the exception of Killua.
On top of that, as you watch the show you'll notice how many popular Shounen series took heavy inspiration from both YYH and Togashi's work in general. For instance, Naruto's Shikamaru and Kabuto's abilities can be traced back to Kido and Dr. Kamiya in the Chapter Black arc and even Bleach's story characters are also somewhat reflective of YYH. And of course Sasuke's backstory is clearly derived from Kurapika from HxH with some minor sensibilities borrowed from Hiei as well.
Not to mention the Dark Tournament is still one of, if not the best tournament arc in shounen with only a few other arcs rivaling it to this day. And let's not forget Toguro as one of Anime's best villain. Also, the dub is fucking phenomenal to the point where the vast majority of anime fans will agree its better than the Japanese dub.
There aren't enough words for me to describe just how god damn awesome Yu Yu Hakusho is.
Yu Yu Hakusho was one of the first anime I got into on my own, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
I love Yu Yu dude, my first anime
Naruto takes a lot from Hunter x Hunter (Chuunin Exam is like the Hunter exam, Sasuke is like Kurapika, Orochimaru is like Hisoka, Akatsuki is like the troupe), and Bleach takes a lot from Yu Yu Hakusho (A lot of little things, but the biggest offender is the Fullbring Arc which is just the Sensui arc, but not as good.)

Black Clover made me see the beauty of longer anime. Like seeing the openings even and seeing how the characters have grown and progressed and won over the battles foreshadowed and like seeing the characters grow in the actual show and let go of some of their fears or bad points and how they inspire eachother and all this its so beautiful. Plus the worldbuilding is incredible.

I’m sorry but Baby Steps should not be on the same level as Haikyuu. Sure it’s good but it’s not even the best tennis anime. I prefer Stars Align and Prince of Tennis more. Also, I don’t mind romance anime but it’s not my cup of tea.
@@wtfyoutube4873 Nobody said they were on the same level. It was just Geoff's favorite sports anime. That doesn't make it better.
Conan and Ranma are what truly dragged me into this community. They are my two most favorite anime of all time. (I once went 2 months without watching a detective conan ep, and when I watched it again I cried during the op because I missed it so much.)
The Ranma 1/2 description is fabulous. I laughed out loud a few times, thank you. And I appreciate the inclusion of Detective Conan. It was my childhood and it has a special place in my heart since it’s what got me into anime in the first place. I can’t explain how excited I got about death and corpses as an 11 years-old. I explained to a classmate once what chloroform and potassium cyanide was and I think they’re still scared of me.
As a person who both read and watched all of magi, I sincerely recommend it. It has everything, and is a really good thing to spend your time with (and cry over LOTS at some points, at least I did).
The anime also has a side-story called Adventures of Sinbad, and take place in the days of youth of one of the more-important character/-s.
It also has a manga it's based off, and gives that character a special time to make one realize and understand the future actions, especially in the manga.
I really recommend ALL of it, since the author Shinobu Ohtaka took her time to create the vast universe of Magi and the characters in it and that should not be wasted.
I'm gonna rewatch Magi and then read the rest of it (or just read it all) one of my favorite shows.
NATSUME YUUJINCHOU!! (or: natsume's book of friends)
cute, emotional, and heartwarming yokai slice of life anime with eight 26 epsiode seasons :D!!
Highly underrated but 100% with ur time.
about a orphan 15 y/o kid who has been able to see yokai his whole life (but very very very few other ppl can) and his struggles dealing with both yokai issues, shenannigans with his friends both yokai and non yokai related (since no one knows he can see them), and general slice of life wholsomeness with an added heaping of found family for the foster family that adopts him ! (which isn't rlly spoiler its in first ep). while show mostly stays in current time, they jump back to natsume's past somtimes to show how he dealt with yokai stuff and other foster families in the past, some of which majorly sucked. while there //is// a little bit of an over arching plot, once u see first episode u cna kinda skip around as u please. animation and music is gorgeous as well!!
Fokron I love natsume yuujinchou!!!
It's on my list. I think I'll really like it :)
I second this! Highly recommend this series and I'm the type who usually doesn't like episodic shows but this one is amazing.
Yes!!!
You forgot to mention that ranma literally tried to prostitute herself a few times in the anime/manga and she was serious about it too...
I mean, if I could flip genders on a whim, I sure as fuck would.
He did what literally every man has said would do if they got the body of a woman one day, so I'm not surprised
Not to be toooo dirty, but I would love it if a guy actually became a girl, had intercourse, and realized how much guys have no freaking clue what to do in bed sometimes.
Courtney Osborn dudes just don’t get it a lot of the time. But trust me, women usually do lmao
AND THE BEST PART ABOUT HIM GOING NUTS ABOUT ONE PIECE IS HE HASN'T EVEN HIT WATER SEVEN OR THE ENTIRE SABAODY -> SUMMIT WAR ARC YET! HE'S GOING TO EXPLODE
I would be absolutely fine with him literally making a series of videos just on his thoughts on each one piece arc
One Piece is a series that arguably, consistently, gets better as it goes on. It would be foolish to say that there aren't dips in quality here or there, but from start to now I can count on my hands the number of times I thought, "Man is this going somewhere? Can we just get to the next arc?" It's so damn good!
@@Wyattearpp *Cough*Daveybackgames*cough*
Wyattearpp more episodes per arc than chapters... *cough* *cough*
@@shineinouzen7412 That's why you read it instead of watch it.
I'm reading the localized version of Detective Conan's manga (At least I was, until corona came around) And I was consistently baffled at how well the cases were realized and how.. not boring.. the repetitive nature of the series was. And I even remember some of the cases you showed in the video!
As someone who has watched almost all of detective conan's 900 something episodes and all the movies I can say it is actually really good and probably will never end I'm so happy you recommended it lol
First Gigguk says he hasn’t seen FMAB yet, and now you’re telling me you haven’t seen HUNTER X HUNTER?
That’s it, the anime Pope is a heretic, a machination of the 3D devil himself.
Peter McCarty Hunter X Hunter is overrated
Hunterx Hunter doesn't worth his time
There are 2 hxh anime. Might want to specify the 2011 one.
I made myself sit through the first season of HxH and it was garbage. but people keep telling me that the cool stuff happens later and they have cool fights... but seriously, forget that first season. This anime needs to come with the warning that you should skip the first season of HxH. I hope kekfa does cool stuff later on, and I was not excited by a white haired sasuke. the show's kuwabara does almost nothing except tag along. Gon = goku. and the organization they're trying to join doesn't make any sense. I really can't recommend sitting through it.
I highly doubt you’ll be able read this since this will get lost in the comments, but I’ll try anyway.
Back in 2014 I had surgery and was at home for a couple of weeks. I had watched anime before this and enjoyed it, but it wasn’t until this two week period that I actually got hit with any kind of emotions.
Hunter x Hunter was the anime that hooked me into watching anime almost daily.
I value your recommendations highly because I haven’t watched one that you said was good and not absolutely loved it.
That’s why I would like to pay you back.
Please watch hunter x hunter. I realize there’s probably a reason you haven’t seen it yet and you probably have been exposed to spoilers.
I know the hiatus is ever looming, but it is better to have love and lost than to have never loved at all.
Damn that last message is a good one
Maybe you should reconsinder your ability to estimate. You got noticed quite a bit, rightfully so.
It has been 474 days since the last chapter of Hunter x Hunter
But only the newest series.
I try to tell people this all the time. People are usually put off by the stigma surrounding anime. However there's a good few out there with amazing depth , storyline etc.
HxH is my all time favorite anime simply because of the strategy and unique worldbuilding. You just have to give the right one a try cause there IS a lot of weird stuff out there.
Could always watch "Monster" pretty sure it was over 80 episodes. The art style is a little dated now but that story is pretty good...
The art style is one of it's strengths.
74 episodes actually
Naoki Urasawa's style isn't dated, it's fucking iconic; the issue is with the compositing, which *is* kind of dated, but the art itself, in addition to the exquisite storytelling, more than carries it. Also Kuniaki Haishima's score is really underrated, aside from the opening which everyone acknowledges is baller.
Detective conan ( case closed) is really popular in the middle east ( I'm from Iraq btw) I always liked the earlier cases more because of how strange and brutal they can be and the earlier art style was way better than later seasons style . We always joke about the series very long run saying things like :
Why all the characters still young especially conan?
How come kogoro didn't die from drug overdose yet? 🤣🤣🤣
All schools in my county have closed so I am just going to be more of a hermit than usual. Thanks for this list.

Well in Germany the Universitys are still open, but why shoud i start be physical present there now?
poland - borders closed, flights stopped, school and uni closed, restaurants and bars closed, gandering under 50 people allowed, country under a state of epidemic threats
Other long series: monster (mystery/ thriller), natsume's book of friends (wholesome paranormal), mushishi (all the season will add around 60 chapters), some oldies of shoujo fit here...
+ for Monster and Natsume
Rose of Versailles!!!!
It's not too long, 40 eps, but it's a classic and sooo good.
And it's a great gateway to Dezaki and classic anime in general!
Natsume Yuujinchou is my favorite anime of all time and can't recommend it enough especially if you have the time now to watch it
I could hug you! FINALLY someone else who enjoys Mushi-shi! I JUST commented here that this was my recommended anime as well (and in truth, one of my favorites!) Good tastes, my friend ^_^
I imagine the reason he didn’t recommend monster is because (if I recall correctly) Monster is in copyright purgatory and hard to watch legally.
Daily reminder that Detective Conan is officially called “Cased Closed!” for English audiences
Correction: avatar is 60 episodes because nobody watches the great divide.
Dr stone is underrated, hahahaha so true
It's been years since I marathoned Avatar. I've forgotten what The Great Divide was.
waffle911 The episode with the two clans acting like children and Aang lies to them saying their war was just a ball game
@@Boarbatrice Eeh? Why would you skip that? It was a really fun story.
It was filler, but it was the ever-elusive *good* filler. Nothing to do with where the plot was currently heading, but still subtly pulling off having Aang get a feel for the role of (eventually, global) peacekeeper. And, as was pointed out on an FB thread recently enough, it had some *great* facial expressions.
Mother's Basement giving up tips on how to deal with a viral outbreak. He's the real MVP.

literally just hearing someone mention ranma 1/2 for once fills me with so much joy
I cannot believe he hasn’t seen Hunter. The amount of videos he could make on it would be insane lol.

"Favorite sports anime..." Oh you better say Ping Pong or you're dead to me.
"...That premiered on April, 6th 2014" You get a pass it premiered a week later.
ahhh a man of culture I see....
im a new young ytber just tryna make it out pls go check my yt it out if u happen to enjoy it subscribe and like the video
Even with all of the filler and the fact that it seems the ending will never be animated, I will always recommend Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Was not the first anime I watched but definitely is my favorite despite its flaws. All of the characters ware so lovable and at the end not only do you want Tsuna to succeed but the entirety of the Vongola
Dude, it was literally the same for me I love Katekyo Hitman Reborn and I sometimes enjoy to go back and watch the Tsuna vs Byakuran fight. It's just awesome
It's one of those that I love but at the same time struggle to recommend because for as much as I love it, as frustrating it is, lol. I found it REALLY hard to get into, the first...idk 13 to 17 episodes or so are just SO different from the rest of the show so I really don't blame anyone who gives up during those, thinking it's not their thing. The fact that it stops before the end of the manga is really frustrating too.
I'd actually argue it has very little ACTUAL filler and the few it has are pretty good, but there is a lot of canon that feels like filler...
Despite all that, it's in my top 10 and I love it, but I always hesitate to recommend it to people for the aforementioned issues :x I guess if I enjoyed it I should just trust that other people will enjoy it too if they just give it a try.
All recomendations:-
Kaiji: ultimate survivor
Baby steps
Maji: the labyrinth
Yu yu hakusho
Ranma 1/2
Detective conan
Haikyuu!!!
Space brothers
Avatar-the last airbender
Pokémon: sun and moon
I know you'll never see this. But I wish you'd know how much you've helped me appreciate anime. I started watching Magi because of this video and just 5 episodes in, I ask my wife "where has this anime been in my life" every few minutes.
I'm so mad AoT and fma where the first 2 anime I ever watched because they were on Netflix. Nothing I've seen since has surpassed for me though I have watched some great stuff since. I'll try watching Magi too
Jokes on these streaming services, I have all 4 seasons of Yu Yu Hakusho on DVD 😆
Guys, quick reminder regarding yu yu hakusho. The Dub of this anime is legendary for being one of the best dubs ever made. Do your self a favor and watch the dub. You wont regret it.
BRACKKUSama z One of my favorite english dubs! Justin Cook is amazing as the voice of Yusuke!:)
Good to know. I normally avoid dubs on older anime.
i tried it. but seeing as english isn't my first language i kinda strugled to hear most of the lines and i just quit at the start of the dark tournament ark
@@mrrobottitan4542 at least you tried
I always watch English dub
Started watching gintama a few days ago. Currently at episode 82 and I whole heartedly recommend it. Probably the most hilarious anime I have ever watched with some cool action as well.
Did you skip fillers if yes what guide did u follow?
I'm somehow doubtful a 14 day quarantine is enough time to watch the epic that is Detective Conan
Yeah I did the math and it's 16 minimum
Thank you for mentioning Yu Yu Hakusho! One of my favorite shows I hope more people revisit this classic 90s anime
"Everything is fine.
Because I am here."
-Geoff, probably.
Love to see case closed get the recognition it deserves
I adore Yu Yu Hakusho! It’s what got me into anime and is regarded as my favorite anime (nostalgia factor). I used to cry if I missed an episode as a child, mind you I was 7. I’ve rewatched it several times as an adult. I argue that most of Yu Yu is stronger then HxH.
I watched Yu Yu Hakusho recently and realized that I had seen part of it when I was younger (probably on Toonami). After rewatching, it's now one of my top anime.
I love both but I prefer hxh (2011) just a little more. But both yyh and hxh are in my top 5 favorite of all time
As an 80s kid who got to read and watch Ranma 1/2, gotta give you respect for its recommendation.
I too was introduced to Case Closed when I was a teenager. I unapologetically use the dubbed names as well even long after I stopped watching the dub. The dub has its charm though. I bought some of the early seasons on DVD and prefer to watch those dubbed.
excuse you, its Bobby Jackson, Claudia & famous Detective Carlos Guzman... I love the fact that every dub of Detective Conan gives the cast entirely different names to the point several cases become literally impossible to solve since the main clue is the killer/victim names
I want to add to the Cased Closed talk. I've been watching since high school, so about 2004, gawd I think I just broke a hip typing that, and there's three things I feel you need to know/accept in order to enjoy the show, iffin you intend on enjoying it.
So thing one, as mentioned in the video, the show doesn't have much in the way of resolution. It started in 1986 or so and is still going strong today. That's not to say that it's all dilly dallying but well there are long stretches of filler, usually you can tell by the quality of the mystery, looking at you bee episode. If you love mysteries it's still a fun ride and if you don't love mysteries maybe just watch the movies, which are the show turned up to 11.
Second thing, as mentioned it started in 86, and it's set in present day. We're now in 2020 and it's still set in present day. It's not always the best at handling that. A good example is that early on Shinichi's inventor friend/neighbor, it was the 80s everyone had one, invents badges so he and his kid friends can communicate, but now they all just have cell phones. Things like that.
And thirdly if you do decide to binge it. You will developed something called detective brain. You'll see mysteries everywhere and will instinctively try and solve them. During this period it's best to keep it all to yourself. You will sound crazy, trust me.
Cased closed is great but it is still going so, don't just buckle up, hunker down. Because it will outlive us all.
David Cruz *the manga started in 94 and the anime premiered in 96 ;)
Detective Conan is actually my first memory ever of watching something on TV, when I was 5/6. I’m 20 now, following on and off, and I’m quite afraid I’ll literally die before it ends (or that Gosho Aoyama, DC’s creator will)!
This is my favorite anime ever for these reasons.
"Because it will outlive us all." considering the current situation, it might as well
Oh my god I didn’t realize their badges got replaced by phones until you said it lol! I also dearly miss Conan’s skateboard. rip
@@etherealsky7078 wow that's even earlier than I thought. This show is old
When you’re isolated, separated from your friends, and only being social when going to work at an hellish retail job......
*BEASTARS & Castlevania goes CRAZY*
At the start of all this, I found myself getting super anxious over the state of the totally-fine world, so I decided I needed to watch a nostalgic old anime with a simple, straightforward, predictable plot, one that had been on my "I should really watch that someday" list for a long time, to take my mind off of everything.
I am now almost 70 episodes into the original Sailor Moon series (subbed) and loving it. :D
I absolutely loved your description of Ranma 1/2. I don't think anyone has been able to sell that show the way you did.
Mothers basement : Stay away from one piece
me : to late buddy im almost at thriller bark in the anime
You poor poor man.
Isn't Brook just a riot though?
Marinford is going to hit you like a ton of bricks. You have my sympathy.
better switch over to the manga soon because you're around the point in the anime where it gets INTOLERABLE. like, from the point they went into a flashback within a flashback in Enies Lobby, it's only gone downhill. toei don't give a fuck about quality animation or consistency or avoiding filler, they'll stretch every single 19 page chapter into a 22 minute episode. the only, ONLY good part about it is the voice actors are all great.
@@AStandsForFrench (don't tell him about dressrosa, keep quiet)
I am about 10 years into the fandom. Once you're in there is no escape.
@@AStandsForFrench I caught up to the anime when they were on their way to Zou and I actually loved all of it. I can understand why some arcs (we all know which ones) would be intolerable if you were watching week to week but if you're binging the pace doesn't seem nearly as slow.
My boi yusuke is literally squaring up w Sensui on my tv screen RIGHT NOW. perfect timing.
I remember when I stated to watch case closed. I stated to watch it when I was 10 years old and I would say it is my favourite anime to this day😁 I also just started to watch it again after not watching it for a few years.
Thank you for putting YuYu & Conan on that list. As an older anime fan I hate seeing people rate art over story with the newer anime.
“Stay away from One Piece”
Me: *spent an entire month watching One Piece from episode one to 700
Also me: Riiiiight....
Damn. I'm only on episode 50 so far. Felt like rewatching the whole thing (I tired of the anime around ep 840) when it finally became legally available on Chruncyroll over here.
So come along and bring with you all your hopes and dreams
The sub is better than the dub but the English version of the first theme has cemented itself in my heart.
Andreas Nicklasson yeah, years ago, back when I was like in HS, I stopped watching during the Alabasta arc, and then I decided to binge from episode 1 again, I literally did nothing but eat, sleep for a few hours, and watch One Piece for a whole month. It was crazy, but that was back in like 2014 that I did that
There are currently 924 episodes of OP, at 24 minutes per episode that works out to about 370 hours of anime, or more than 15 days straight of anime. If you slept 8 hours per day and didn't eat/shower for 16 hours of watching per day it'd take 23 days to finish the series. Mind you the series is weekly, so every 3 weeks you can add an hour to that total.
The two shows I’ll recommend are both sports anime so that will probably cause 90% of people to skip this comment. Anyways if you haven’t seen it yet “Hajime no Ippo” is a fantastic boxing anime with 76 episodes in its first season with two additional seasons making it come out to 127 eps. The show has great pacing between the build up to matches and then the matches themselves. The other show I feel is often overlooked amongst other sports shows, but if you want a hardheaded yet hard working character that grow from a boy into a man go watch “Major”. It has 154 episodes over the course of 6 fucking seasons and was honestly a show I would have past up on had my roommate not urged me to watch it with him. Compared to Hajime no Ippo this feel like a harder sell especially since Ippo is one of my favorites but I still wanted to mention it anyways. I mean watching the show gave me a much greater understanding of baseball overall.
watch ashita no joe if you aren't a puss who dislikes old anime visuals
Big W for Hajime no Ippo, one of the goats. not just sports anime but all anime.
Major is criminally undderrated tbh
Duly skipped.
No cross game or touch
I just recently found your videos and I’ve got to say this is the only channel that is entertaining, educational, and tolerable to watch over all the other channels of this genre! There’s no ear breaking loud edm music, no muffled talking, pleasant voice, and helpful info. Thanks for the good work!
There’s a lot of long series animes out there. Must I guess you can say “old school” such as Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball. But I feel Ranma 1/2 should be one of those classics everyone should watch.
When you were mentioning the classics, I'm surprised Slayers didn't get a nod. It has over 100 eps, and is a must-watch for any anime fan that also enjoys D&D or similar games.
I LOVE SLAYERS
I actually made a dnd one shot based on S3 Jillas's temple episode. And so far I seen the first 3 seasons around 4 times. ehehe
Tho the 4th season I have to admit isn't as great.
Absolutely with you here
Japanifornia á la Ace Attorney and Case Closed is my favorite. That setting, combined with that late 90's/early 2000s feel of those localized works just gives me major nostalgia.

@@alexh7849 RIGHT?!? There's just something about that anime that really does it for me. I can go back to it anytime, and I actually just finished rewatching it.
hi score girl is a must watch, and glad to see gate get a little love
A great watch if you haven’t already seen it but liked Jormugand - -
Black Lagoon (I watched it on Hulu)
Blood Lad ends on such a massive, unsatisfying cliffhanger that I can’t recommend it to others.
I love how I haven't watched the shorter series in this video but have seen every single 100+ episode series that was recommended. Then again, I did get into anime about 17 years ago.
It's an obvious one, but I'll always recommend Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, 2nd GIG and Solid State Society, an exquisite cyberpunk thriller that balances both philosophical questions about the nature of humanity, just like the classic, seminal manga it's roughly based on, well-directed, quick action and plots ranging from human trafficking to a series of apparently unrelated terrorist attacks in a post-World War III and IV Japan that sprung back up from the ashes of the war as one of the world's major powers thanks to *NANOMACHINES, SON* .
For something a little less known and especially if fantasy and JRPGs are your thing, Magical Circle Guru Guru is the series for you. With a first season of 45 episodes produced in the mid-90s, a 38-episode second season produced in the early 2000s and a 2017 24-episode remake by Production I.G, the story follows the gentle-hearted, naive little mage girl Kukuri, the last of the Migu Migu tribe who can use the Guru Guru magic, and the "Hero of the Legend" Nike, raised by his parents with the hope that he'd become a world-renowned and famous hero due to having his father's dreams pushed onto him, given that no great evil arose during his father's youth. Together, their mission is to defeat the evil Lord Giri, who was freed from the magic that sealed him for 300 years, and can only be defeated by Guru Guru magic. The series as a whole is both a love letter and a parody of the JRPGs of the 80s and 90s, particularly Dragon Quest, developed by the actual publishers of the series, Enix (yes, Square Enix is the owner of Gangan Comics, which published Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater, too), and while it does rely on toilet jokes once or twice, it's an absurd and hilarious journey with literal side quests and RPG mechanics baked into both the story and the world's inner logic, almost as if the characters are aware of being inside a JRPG.
If you're into sports, instead, I fondly suggest yet another gem from the past, Mitsuru Adachi's magnum opus Touch, a whopping 101-episode story that follows twin brothers Tatsuya and Kazuya Uesugi and their shared love interest, next-door girl Minami Asakura. Due to a childhood promise to her, Kazuya decides, once enrolled in Meisei High School, that he's gonna put his whole being into baseball so that he can become the team's ace pitcher and bring them to the Koshien, Japan's national high school baseball tournament, named after the Hanshin Koshien Stadium in Nishinomiya, home to the Hanshin Tigers. It's a beautifully woven story of sports, love, personal growth and drama which will bring you to both exciting peaks of hype and depths of sadness and desperation - because, spoilers, and I do mean it, SPOILERS, the morning of the final game of the prefectural tournament of their first year, Kazuya is struck by a truck in a traffic accident, losing his life while saving a kid, leaving his twin brother Tatsuya and the baseball team utterly emotionally destroyed, and so Tatsuya takes his deceased brother's mantle in order to fulfill his dream and his promise to their friend.
Much shorter (and sadly with a bit of fluff in the middle), but also the only non-manga based anime in this list is The Secret of Blue Water, the first anime ever produced by Gainax, directed by Hideaki Anno and based on a concept pitched by Hayao Miyazaki to NHK in the 1970s, it's a fascinating steampunk adventure set in 1889 and following the adventure of titular Nadia (as the original title of the series, "Fushigi no Umi no Nadia", "Nadia of the Mysterious Seas", features her front and center much like the story), a 14-year-old circus acrobat of unknown origins and Jean, a young French inventor of the same age as they run from thieves Grandis, Sanson and Hanson, who are after Nadia's *actually* titular pendant, the Blue Water, tied to her mysterious past.
