A little more anime.

I mentioned earlier that there exists an anime inspired by Sherlock Holmes called Case Closed, Detective Conan, Meintantei Conan or 名探偵 コナン, . I kinda forgot to mention that it was a manga before it was an anime. For those unfamiliar with Japaneses pop culture a manga would be considered a comic book here in the U.S. but the actual library term for them is graphic arts. An anime is a serialized cartoon. Even though Walt Disney was the first animation artist Disney's cartoons are geared toward family films with G age group ratings. In Japan it is common for adults to be going to watch animes which would be considered strange, even pedifile in the U.S.

Most of the episodes involve murder where all of the suspects are identified with Conan giving us all of the clues before revealing the identity of the culprit, how they did it and the evidence against them. I prefer the Japanese version that is hopefully subtitled in English better than episodes that have been dubed in either English or Spanish just because I think it looses more in that kind of translation and it also helps me to learn a new language. There are plenty of episodes out there with a lot of them on detectiveconan.us even though some of them are missing. To watch some of the missing videos you can find them on megavideo.com. If you want the episodes in Spanish, go to Google, search "detective conan tutv episode #" replacing the '#' with an actual number.
