esmenetOkay, this was totally going to be a long rambly post on literature and culture and bending in the A:TLA world, but instead it's going to be a short post about how much I love Detective Conan.
Or rather, how much I love Mouri Ran. She's a teenage girl! She's the love interest! She's kind and motherly! She gets jealous easily! She's weak to ghosts and monsters!
And she can karate the FUCK out of you. Or doors. Or hard-bitten Italian mobsters. And she does. Often. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ SO MUCH LOVE.
Shinichi is kind of stupid for not explaining things to her, actually. So many of his worries would be solved -- he could go out late at night to look for evidence, he'd always have someone to cover for him since they live in the same house, and he'd have a bodyguard on call when he was being chased by axe-murderers. Everything would be fixed! (Except the seven-year-old thing, but well, what can you do about that anyway?) Also, Ran figured him out almost right away. Even if he keeps putting her off and she ignores her suspicions most of the time, she so has him pinned. (Ran. <3 )
Suzuki Sonoko, Ran's non-Shinichi bff, is also pretty cool. Not much to say about her yet, but I like her.
Shinichi's parents are terrifying. I can see why he decided to live on his own in Japan.
So basically Detective Conan is a lot more awesome on the 'female characters' thing than I had been lead to believe! And the mysteries are pretty interesting. And I'm looking forward to all the interesting characters I've heard about but haven't gotten to yet. The only problem is that the series has been running for thirteen years. It's long as hell, and I'm only on volume nine. *cries*
