EPISODE REVIEWS
watching conan function as a grade schooler for what the show implies has been an extremely long time is honestly so impressive and kind of painful. the detective boys taking down five adult thieves with bikes is absolutely unhinged and i respect every second of it. totally satisfying to watch
the episode's comedic dimension comes almost entirely from the gap between the children's absurd competence and the complete institutional incompetence of kogoro. the physical chase through the department store is implausible but executed with enough energy that the absurdity becomes the point rather than a problem
the adults dismissing these kids as silly right after they personally stopped five criminals with bicycles is SO INFURIATING and also so perfectly observed. conan has been pretending to be a grade schooler for what must feel like an eternity and watching him tolerate these children is honestly impressive.
