In what way do I say it like it's a bad thing?

Well, I suppose it could be if you hate ship wars. The Shintou faction would lock horns with the male!Ran/'Shinyo' faction every chance they got. Ooh, or if you hate gratuitous fanservice - Kid's resemblence to Shinyo'd mean there'd have to be an annual case involving crossdressing to maintain the masquerade.

I will admit that Conan is a bit of a Marty Stu. But the addition of some secondary characters later on expose some of Conan/Shinichi's flaws.

In my opinion, when Plot Happens its worth every bit of the wait. I say keep it up. Kogoro occasionally gets his day.

Do we get any Magnificent Bastard villains who can pull one over on Conan?

Not exactly. His overconfidence has him rushing into situations that may be a bit over his head. Gin and Vodka are closest to Magnificent Bastards. Kaito Kid comes close as well but he's not much a bastard just smug as all hell.

Vermouth could definitely be said to have pulled one over on everyone, Conan included. If the Desperate Revival Arc doesn't hook you, you have my permission to drop the series.

Sweet ending to the current case, which also had some very funny moments. (I have a particular liking for cases that aren't murders, and for the police department romances, and this one combined both.)

I really didn't expect Gosho to revisit this relationship so soon.

Two cases on the same couple, practically back-to-back? Are you all right, Gosho? Having a fever or something? Your Dragging-out-the-story-as-long-as-possible-with-filler-Fu seems to have degenerated...

So, how much longer do you think filler/padding for the series can be thrown in before people start to lose interest?

If you haven't lost interest yet, you're not going to. Anyone who has stuck with the series this long is simply not dropping it under any circumstances.

The current manga case is shaping up to be a big one. The only people missing are the FBI so Scar!Akai can show up.

Haven't read the manga in a while, I'm waiting for someone/-thing to show up with news of there being more actual plot development coming along.

I've gotta wonder why my favorite Conan movies don't include Heiji/Harley, he's tied for my favorite character with Ai/Vy/Anita.

The only reason I haven't lost interest was because I didn't really get into the series until a year or so ago when 700 chapters were already out.

While nothing has been confirmed, I believe ch 800 will be a big one. It may be a good idea catch up. The anime seems to be stalling the introduction of the next major side character

I wonder if they use the North American English names in other languages. I don't want to sound racist, but I liked the Dub Name Change s.

I can fully understand why they thought they needed to change the names in the anime. It most likely wasn't possible to match the mouth flaps using the original names with english actors. The manga just wanted to maintain consistency with the anime.

However, as has been stated before, there are many cases that hinge on the Japanese names and how they're written. I can't remember off hand if they removed all the kanji as well. It just causes more issues than it solves.

[up]Sometimes they remove the kanji, other times not.

The only names I dislike AFAIR are Ran and George.

I just started watching it myself. I ruined the early parts by reading the manga, but I am still watching it to keep episodic continuity. So far so good...

Can you blame 'em? Most of the mages around here can't even look at a computer without it blowing up. They have to get their familiars to type for 'em.

[up]PC monitors tend to blow up when I look at them, try to type on the keyboard, etc as long as it's a PC.

Then I have to get someone to do the work of typing/whatever.
