Summary:
Kudo Shinichi is a seventeen year-old high school detective whom people call the "Modern Sherlock Holmes." However, one night after a date with his childhood sweetheart, Ran, Shinichi witnessed an illegal trade and, caught off his guard, was knocked unconscious and fed a drug that was supposed to kill him... but he woke up and found himself shrunken to a seven year-old. In order to track down the men who did this to him, Shinichi hid his identity and lived with Ran, whose father happened to be a hopeless detective, and with that came a series of murders and mysteries that he must solve.

i think this is my 6th review for today --- and the server still ignores reviews. damnit.... feels like i'm doing this for nothing.
anyway.
pros
+ heaps of mystery
+ well-written cases and plots, very logical and uses scientific knowledge
+ real landmarks/cities/roads depicted
cons
- stretched out and way...too...long
- main story doesn't seem to be advancing
- cases are getting repetitive
conclusion: i love this for its unique concept, its logic and the fact that although it uses scientific knowledge etc., it can be understood by all ages. however, it's been running far too long, the cases are getting somewhat repetitive without the main story advancing, and the whole thing has become somewhat nonsensical. it would really be worth the watch were it shorter -- unique, with a nice concept, its mystery and its logic -- but i certainly don't want to be responsible for dragging anyone into a 660+ep anime. it's a pity i have to be saying this, but it would do the whole thing good if they finished it.
New SPRING 2025 anime series and movies have been added!
