The 25th film of the Detective Conan franchise has a fairly solid plot and doesn’t rambling from start to finish. Maybe a little comedy insert is included to freshen the atmosphere. However, in several scenes, the puzzles presented in this film make the audience have to be really observant to be able to guess who the real bomber is. As expected, the climax of the story and the plot twists in this film are also well made and quite unexpected at the end of the film.

Anger can only be appeased with love

With the rise of the death of Jinpei Matsuda which has passed 3 years ago, several police colleagues are also emotional in the investigation, one of which is Miwako Sato. Takagi’s fiancé persisted in reinvestigating the case even though the National Security Bureau ordered that the case be handed over to them. When the police come up with the idea of ​​undercover involving Takagi, Sato immediately disagrees because he feels he will lose the person he loves again.

BUMP OF CHICKEN performs the theme song for Detective Conan: the Bride of Halloween

For the film Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween, the band BUMP OF CHICKEN also enlivened the film by performing the ending song “Cronostasis”. From the lyrics, this song is really suitable for this film because it has the meaning of recalling memories with someone in the past.

In addition to BUMP OF CHICKEN, the musical composition in Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween is also done by Yugo Kanno. If usually the music in this anime is produced by Katsuo Ohno, leaving Kanno to work on the music in Detective Conan’s 25th film is actually not a bad choice. He is able to make the music in this film feel newer with his personal touch without losing the hallmark of Detective Conan’s previous music.

The story idea of ​​Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween was doubted by the mangaka

Remembering Detective Conan’s films previously produced by several old staff, this time the film features more new staff, such as Susumu Mitsunaka as director and Yugo Kanno as music composer. Especially for Mitsunaka, he really has a desire to provide fresh air for the Detective Conan anime.

During a brainstorming session with Detective Conan mangaka Gosho Aoyama, Mitsunaka’s idea for the film was initially doubtful because Aoyama was worried about the ending of the story. However, the mangaka also quickly agreed after Mitsunaka explained in more detail.

Mitsunaka’s ideas in working on this film continue to receive positive input from many parties involved. The director who also worked on the Haikyuu!! This admits that he is grateful because he continues to be taught many things in the production of this film.
