Isn't the fanbase much, much bigger in Japan? It's probably some weird cultural divide.

What do they even do for each episode nowadays? Regurgitate the same plot for the 50th time?
No.6394
>>6391According to Wikipedia, the entire Law and Order franchise has had 1,180 episodes produced. They've managed to get away with that because they frequently just rip stories from real news and then alter them for drama. Maybe Conan does something similar? Though obviously Conan's focus is much narrower on simply solving mysteries.
No.6395
>>6394Actually, from what I remember, there's been some L&O episodes that have been based on the same news story as a previous episode.
Maybe a Conan fan would be able to answer this question, but I doubt those exist at all in the West anyway.

I checked it out since Gravity Falls ended too soon, I now have gained a deep respect to anti media.

Why do you care? They're boring people. Stupid people. Unthinking people. Do you think it's impressive if a baby stares at youtube's algorithm for hours on end? This is the same shit. Just people that have nothing else going for them. They think it means something that they've seen X amount of episodes. But what does that mean? Notice they only have seen them once, so can you really call that watching something? You have to remember that at least half the population is dumber than you are. Normal people catch a couple of episodes on TV, and move on with their lives. Maybe some people watch but the best episodes. But that's just Japanese people, it makes zero sense, with the decades of TV serials made prior, to focus on a poorly animated, children's TV show. TV watching people watch something simply because it's there. Rather than watch something because they want to see it.
>What are their hopes and dreams?They might lack the cognitive ability to dream. I hope we can all ignore the fujoshi in this thread calling conan 'cute' That's the type of audience that watches this show. They can't go a minute without mentioning something so offputting because they literally don't have anything else to say about this show.
>>6394>L&Othere's nothing wrong with this, though. Putting a twist on a known story, or changing things up is fine. Nobody is expected to watch 1000 episodes of something. Cops has 1074 episodes. You really got to have a screw loose if you decide to pick a 'detective' show aimed at children, watch enough of it to call yourself a fan, and ignore the plethora of other detective shows out there enough to consider conan anything worth watching. I can't even get through 30 episodes of Gintama (it's supposed to 'get good' afterwards)

Ironically, it's precisely these sorts of anime that normal people, those with decent lives outside of online Oriental flipbook circlejerks, who aren't elitist or pretentious degenerates, can easily be into with the family, and it is the family fare which the Japanese populace holds in high regard. Fools that believe themselves to be so more enlightened than the masses are oftentimes the real mediocrities in the room. Everyone is consoomer all the same in the end, so don't pretend to have any superiority.

>>15659>just turn your brain offThen why watch anything at all?
>working 10 hours a day, 6 days a week is a decent life broJapan's work life is for soulless people who think growth and consumption is the only thing in life. There's no reason a society couldn't thrive on people working 20 hours a week instead.
>but entire families watch it togetherThat just means it appeals to no one.
>letme explain to you the dk effectWow. Did Detective Conan teach you this?
>everyone is a consoomer I swearNot me. For one there's no money involved, and secondly I don't turn my brain off. This argument that everyone is something therefore it is okay is not only demonstrably false, it's also nonsense. If you watch something on TV you can watch on demand, you do so because you keep making excuses for yourself like a fat person on a diet.

In the end, what is any culture-industry-product fanatic who, as a grown-up, dedicates inordinate amounts of time and effort to the minutiae of cartoons that even in Japan are reputed to be mainly juvenile pastimes?
"Otaku" culture is some of the most consoomeristic, like peak postmodern lifestylism, stuff out there. But that otaku culture and anime are often hyperconsoomerist doesn't mean they can't be enjoyable or good. And no one here can truly claim to be not a consoomer, when not only is this very board
>>>/anime/ dedicated in large part to the productions of the capitalistic and highly consoomerist anime industry, but also the very words that participants in this thread use, to put up pretense for their ostensible difference from the normalfag consoomers, betray their shopper mentality, in which the problem still is posed as one of "product choice".
Really now, just go off to the other boards that are dedicated to more "serious" discussion if you want to complain so badly about how you totally are a special snowflake unlike the vulgar masses; at least the silliness of such arrogance wouldn't come off so blatantly. Or don't be an anime person and read good, old public domain books. Otherwise it still boils down to your choice of identity tailored by the market, if you prefer to be a "cool" kid who consooms edgelord 2deep4normalfags "adult" shit or if you prefer to be some "ordinary" person who reads some casual shit from shounen/shoujo series that seem to never complete.

I'll admit it; I used to watch the show as a kid and occasionally still do so as a hobby. I never really cared about the storyline; all I wanted was to fill up my knowledge of how to kill a man in over 700 different ways.
