Nerdiness Episode 3

Since last Thursday I did my second favorite anime today I decided I would talk about my favorite anime, and one that still has episodes being released, Case Closed (Detective Conan in Japan). Our story begins at an amusement park, where high school detective Jimmy Kudo is out with his childhood friend Rachael Moore. Jimmy is obsessed with Sherlock Holmes who he believes to be the best Detective of all time, and so all he talks about the whole time is Sherlock, but all the chatter and fun comes to an end when a murder happens, Jimmy quickly solves it but notices a few mysterious men in black lurking around and decides to follow one, leaving Rachael alone. Jimmy stumbles upon something he wasn't supposed to see and the men in black give him a drug that is supposed to be untraceable and kill him, but it has a different effect when instead it shrinks him down to the age of a small boy. Jimmy quickly rushes home and can't even get inside when he hears and explosion, his neighbor Doctor Agasa is a genius inventor who may of had less successful inventions then one would think. Jimmy goes to the Doctor and tells him everything, but of course Agasa assumes that it is just some little kid with an imagination, but Jimmy proves it with some excellent sleuth work. Agasa tells him that he must keep his secret hidden or the men in black will come to finish the job. Agasa takes Jimmy into the Kudo house and  Rachael arrives, looking for Jimmy, but all she finds is Agasa and shrunken Jimmy, she asks what the boys name is and he quickly uses some detective author's names and creates the name Conan Edogawa. Agasa talks Rachael into taking Conan, because her father is also a detective and if Conan can work behind the scenes to make him a great one, he may be able to uncover the truth about the men in black, and their poison, because if he can get the poison, Agasa can make an antidote and return Jimmy to his old self. So the whole anime is behind the scene work by Conan to make one Richard Moore the best detective around, a hard task that Conan faces, but he knows that no matter what, "One truth prevails". This anime is above 600 episodes now, most of them not in English and has 16 movies. Unfortunately after 4 movies and 5 seasons, Funimation cut their project and ended the English dubbing, leaving fans upset, but the Japanese version still goes on and maybe one day the English version will return, and a new generation of fans will be born.
