I'm rewatching the series because I stopped watching long over a full decade ago (think the last thing I watched was the Clash of Red and Black arc). And now I've finally made it to my wife

There's nothing important to add. I just wanted to say that. Continue with your day.

How do they keep a series interesting with over 1000 episodes?

>>281146547 (OP)
Lol
I did the same in 2012? and again in 2019 or something.

They don't. Stuff that runs this long is generally aimed at kids, and kids don't stay kids. They age out, and new kids are born to replace them. So it's very samey and repetitive but it doesn't matter because if they recycle a plot from 500 episodes ago 99% of the audience that saw it already has moved on, and the current audience hasn't seen it.

They don't keep it interesting, they keep the 'winning formula' going as long as it sells. Toss in some incremental progress once a year and you have a captive audience.

Conan is actually a fairly unique mystery of the week anime. Sure, some base concepts are recycled, but you can only do so many mystery stories before that becomes an inevitability (like a closed off mansion murder mystery, or the detective boys finding a treasure map).
It's actually a pretty good example of a series maintaining writing quality throughout extended periods of anime original materials.

If you want the actual main storyline, you read the manga, which only does around 4 "cases" a year (Aoyama spends much of the time on hiatus to actually research more novel mystery ideas).

I love so much it's unreal
it's rather sad how unpopular she is,

>>281146547 (OP)
I want to do things with Haibara...

>>281146719
>They don't keep it interesting
Yes they do because its still interesting.

i dont care for haibara at all she is a worse girl than ran

>>281147610
Okay but you're wrong though

>>281147610
>not even a split second of pantsu
fucking pussies

>>281146613
he never grows back once nor arrests the organization reaponsible for making him small lmao

>>281148470
>he never grows back once
He goes back to being Kudo several times in the series. One of them happens like 50 episodes in.

>>281148540
just temporarily and it isn't permanent, he's still a flat character

>>281148945
>just temporarily and it isn't permanent,
I mean, yeah, obviously, but he still does it several times throughout the series. That invalidates your claim of him "never" growing back "once".
>he's still a flat character
Conan/Kudo is fairly well developed though. If you mean him having an arc, maybe, but not having an arc is not what "flat" means.

Conan is a literal anime soap opera.
It's designed to last forever and there's just enough plot to justify keeping the show going.
You don't watch it for the overall plot, you watch it for the character interactions and the episodic nature.

>>281149394
yeah, mystery schlock is one of the purest genres that can be spammed infinitely and that's a good thing.

>>281149394
its like columbo but with some bits of anime tropes, but its good to binge just like columbo.

>>281147610
Gay

Anime only but the cases are boring now.
Atleast it had some meat to them before but this rum shit is so stretched out without any pay off that it's starting to be off putting.

>>281148945
your waifu is a flat character, noob

>>281152130
indeed

>>281146547 (OP)
very important

This series feels like it's never gonna end. And it's only been half a year!

>>281146547 (OP)
funny

i read the manga 20 years ago, until volume 35 or so? chapter 350?
i just started continuing reading it two days ago, i'm at chapter 568
it's pretty bad desu, the mysteries are garbage
but it dangles the black association plot in front of you to keep you reading
also all of the girls are sexy, i haven't even met this girl yet but i know i wanna fuck her

>>281157979
It's a boy anon.

>>281158328
no

>>281146613
why are japanese children fine just jumping into a story 800 episodes in?

>>281158396
just like american comics then?

>>281158328
on the other hand, this "boy" HAS to actually be a girl though, right?

>>281158353
Kaito kid think it's a boy, and i trust him more than you.

>>281149016
>but not having an arc is not what "flat" means.
What does it mean?

>>281158998
He should have been.

I simply don't care for Ran

>>281161750
Flat means the character lacks real characterization and development, which isn't true for Kudo. He's fairly fleshed out and there's a clear firm grasp of his characterization on every page.
Lacking an arc is just that- lacking an arc. Not every story needs the main character to go through an arc or a hero's journey, that's just a basic framework for basic emotional resonance and creating a small scale idea of growth that aligns with the larger narrative changes.

So, Kudo does not have an arc nor does he really "grow" beyond his relationship with Ran developing. But other characters, like Haibara, Mitsuhiko, and Ran herself all do have arcs ranging in size and complexity. None of that is an issue and none of that means they're "flat characters".

>>281161900
Haibara no diffs her

>>281146597
its same
