Case Closed, originally known in Japan as Detective Conan (名探偵コナン Meitantei Conan) is an anime series produced by TMS Entertainment, and based on the manga series created by Gosho Aoyama. Directed by Kenji Kodama and Yasuichiro Yamamoto, and has aired since January 8, 1996 on Yomiuri TV, Nippon TV and other affiliates in Japan and is currently ongoing as of 2018. It has aired over 1000 episodes in Japan making it one of the longest running anime series.

Synopsis

Shinichi Kudo is a 17-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 was knocked unconscious and fed a drug that was supposed to kill him... but he woke up and found himself shrunken to a 7-year-old. In order to track down the men who did this to him, Shinichi reinvented his identity as Conan Edogawa 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.

Dubbing History[]

Prior to FUNimation's more well-known dub, an earlier English dub was produced for the Singaporean market in 2003 under the show's original title by Odex International. 52 episodes were recorded locally at Voiceovers Unlimited and aired on Channel i. The dub was directed by Chuck Powers.[1] According to Joseph Murray, episodes were not released on VCD as rumored; however, he ripped episodes and released them on DVD during the final stages of production. [2]

In 2003, the first 104 episodes were licensed by FUNimation Entertainment for distribution in North America, under the title Case Closed because of legal considerations (avoiding conflicts with the Conan the Barbarian series). Unlike most dubs produced by FUNimation, all of the voices and characters were "Americanized". Meaning most, if not all, Japanese names were changed. Examples include Shinichi being renamed Jimmy, Ran being renamed Rachel, and Kogoro being renamed Richard. FUNimation's conversion of the principal characters' names into Anglicized forms was heavily criticized by various parties.

Case Closed debuted on Cartoon Network as part of their Adult Swim programming block on May 24, 2004, though no more than 50 episodes were licensed from FUNimation due to low ratings. FUNimation released DVDs of their dubbed series beginning on August 24, 2004. Initially, the releases were done in single DVDs and future episodes were released in seasonal boxes. 130 episodes (in the international numbering, since in the original Japanese numbering only 123 was reached) have been released in total along with the first 6 films released between 2006-2010. FUNimation ceased dubbing of the series due to the DVD sales not justifying the cost of the license. Despite varying degrees of fan demand, it is highly unlikely that the dub will be continued (at least by FUNimation), with product manager Adam Sheehan stating that FUNimation was done with the show.[3] Since March 2013, FUNimation still streamed the series, until their license expired on May 4, 2018.[4]

A separate English adaptation of the series by Animax Asia premiered in the Philippines on January 18, 2006. Because Animax was unable to obtain further TV broadcast rights, their version comprised 52 episodes, much like Odex's dub.[5] The dub was recorded by Omni Productions.[6]

An English dub of episodes 965-974 was released on Tubi on February 8, 2023.[7] The voice cast features five Los Angeles voice actors for the main characters, while the other characters are dubbed in Miami. Subsequently, episodes 975-1014 with dubbing were released.

A separate broadcast of the series premiered on ETV Bal Bharat in India on May 15, 2023[8] and consisted of 12 dubs including an English dub. However, this broadcast is censored and omits some episodes from the series. The dub is currently ongoing.
