Detective Conan The Movie: Black Iron Submarine (名探偵コナン●黒鉄の魚影 サブマリン) Playing in Cathay Cinemas Now!

Hi Huneybees,

Shinjitsu wa Itsumo Hitotsu (しんじつはいつもひとつ)！ 

There is always only one truth!  

The Black Organization has struck again! This time, we are taken to Hachijo-Jima island, Tokyo; where our main character Detective Conan helps Interpol with a murder mystery involving a new facial recognition tech.

Imagine a software that can detect all our footmarks with just a photo, crimes can be detected earlier, and no matter where the bad guys go, we can easily track them down! Additionally, with just a childhood photo, your adult image can be worked out via CGI, so missing children can be found!

Well, this is the amazing tech which the movie - Detective Conan The Movie: Black Iron Submarine  (名探偵コナン●黒鉄の魚影 サブマリン) revolves around. Engineers from around the world gathered for the full-scale operation of "Pacific Buoy," an offshore facility to connect security cameras owned by the worldwide police forces. The tech is undergoing a test run when one of the creators went missing...

Meanwhile, Conan and the Detective Boys visit Hachijo-Jima at Sonoko's invitation and receive a phone call from Subaru Okiya (a graduate student in the Graduate School of Engineering at Tokyo Metropolitan University, who is an FBI agent Shuichi Akai and a black-robed organization's Rye) informing them that a Europol employee was murdered in Germany by the Black Organization's Gin and that they are targeting on the new tech too!

Conan, who is disquieted, sneaks into the facility and finds himself in the midst of the missing case. His friend Ai Haibara (who is a former member of the Black Organization but now works with Conan to destroy them) also got entangled and kidnapped too. The story unfolds as he goes on his rescue mission.

Black Iron Submarine is the first time in six films that the Black Organization is deeply involved in the plot, and the film takes us back to the heart of the work. The mix of 2D and 3D animation is pretty smooth,  just not a big fan that the characters are a little more angular compared to the previous versions. His signature red bow tie look took a break for a more casual image, it could have appeared at least once coz when the red bow appeared, it seemed like a little story jump.

All in all, the movie brings back tons of memories and it was fun to catch it with fans during the special screening, where everyone shared exclamations and clapped during climax. It's easy to be brought into the story even for those who have not seen Detective Conan before. In fact, the movie has attracted me to go visit Hachijo-Jima on my travel list!

A little background on the Detective Conan series...

Detective Conan is a detective story about Shinichi Kudo, a high school detective who turns into an elementary school student after being given a special drug by the mysterious Black Organization. Kudo then takes on the alter-ego of “Conan Edogawa,” a young detective. He skillfully manipulates Kogoro Mouri, a slightly ditzy detective and father of his childhood friend Ran Mouri, in order to solve a series of difficult cases while hiding his true identity.

In addition to the various cases that arise, the series depicts a fierce battle against its nemesis, the Black Organization, and the gradual unraveling of the organization’s mysterious ways has continued to fascinate many fans.
