The award-winning manga by Gosho Aoyama, Case Closed, known internationally as Detective Conan, made its debut in 1994 and received its anime adaptation by the TMS Entertainment studio in 1996. It also has over 270 million copies in circulation, making it the fourth highest-selling manga of all time. The story follows Shinichi Kudo, a 17-year-old high school student and renowned detective, who is investigating a suspicious activity at an amusement park. However, he is suddenly attacked by two mysterious men and forced to ingest a poison called APTX 4869, which turns his body into that of a 7-year-old child.

Struggling to accept this major change, Shinichi must hide his identity and investigate the organization that shrunk him. He adopts the alias Conan Edogawa and moves in with his childhood friend, Ran Mouri, and her father, Kogo Mouri, an ordinary private detective. Since he can’t freely solve cases now, Conon often uses Kogoro’s voice to appear as though the detective solved them himself. Over the years, Detective Conan has released 107 volumes, over 1150 anime episodes, and 28 films. As the anime is approaching its 30th anniversary, the official website of TMS Entertainment announced the release dates of a specially curated episode selection that has never been available in the U.S. The anime series and selected films will be available on Crunchyroll and Netflix with its first batch release on July 3rd, 2025.
