Amazon.com: Based on the manga by Gosho Aoyama, Meitantei Conan (Famous Detective Conan, a play off the original title of Hayao Miyazaki's Sherlock Hound) ran for 12 seasons on Japanese TV and won fans around the world. At 17, Jimmy Kudo is an ace detective; but when he stumbles onto a blackmail payoff, two men in black give him a pill that turns him into a little boy. To hide his identity, he takes the name of Conan Edogawa--from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Japanese mystery writer Ranpo Edogawa. As Conan, he's taken in by his former girlfriend, Rachel Moore, and her hair-brained detective father. Trapped in a puny body, Conan solves crimes (sometimes aided by the Junior Detective League), hoping to find the men in black and obtain an antidote. Viewers can try to outguess the hero of this rollicking comedy-adventure using the "Crack the Case" game. (Rated 13 and older: minor violence, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon
Anime for People With a Brain With so much "eye candy" anime out there, it is refreshing to enjoy this series, which taxes your brain as well as tickles your funnybone.
Case Closed is the story of seventeen year-old Jimmy Kudo, who is a well-known amateur detective. He assists the police, a la fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, who is Jimmy's hero. Jimmy is sweet on a girl in his class. Her father is a private eye, but suffering because of Jimmy's prowess.
The story changes drastically when Jimmy stumbles upon a back-alley political scandal. The men poison him, but the poison doesn't kill him - it only reduces his age. Now Jimmy is a tiny eight-year old. He now stays with his "girlfriend" and her dad. His real identity is secret in order to protect his girl from the thugs, who would surely kill him if they found out he was alive.
He adopts a new name, in honor of the English author who created Holmes: Sir Edgar Conan Doyle. Now, "Conan" and his school chums are cracking cases and criminals' skulls as the Junior Detective Agency.
I love the opening and closing songs and animation.
Brilliant...... I'm going to tell you this short and sweet this is like if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle made an Anime. Buy it if you like Sherlock holmes, mysteries, or anime
Case Closed is fantastic I was up late one night with the tv on Adult Swim (cartoon network) and i happened to stumble upon the first episode of Case Closed. I loved it after watching through the episode. The cases are beautifully intricate and imaginative. They actually get you thinking, even really late into the night. I'll have to say I'm going to keep watching this show for a long while. Either that or save to buy the DVDs. Anyways, this show is great and worth watching. It's humerous, yet serious and it keeps you going and wanting to watch. If you enjoy Holmes and those sort of mysteries, you'd might want to chec this show out.

He,Ran,and Kogoro (Richard,Ran's dad) solve cases. Sometimes,with the jr. league.
