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?
"Contests fought between two masters are decided instantly. An invisible battle is now raging between the two of them." Lulu vs SchneizelNot 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.
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.
Magic people, voodoo people!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.
Would somebody mind fixing a case of X Just X for this series on Not-So-Fake Prop Weapon page?

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...
Off topic: People think I'm a sock puppet when I post in the Negima thread ;_;
"Our Magic is not omnipotent... a little bit of courage is the real magic."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.

If you won't I'll slit your throat/Won't you please be nice?

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.
