What is Detective Conan: The Crimson Love Letter About?
Detective Conan: The Crimson Love Letter is the 21st film in the Case Closed (as Detective Conan is known in some regions) film series. Released in 2017, the movie focuses on a bombing case at Nichiuri TV during the filming of the Satsuki Cup, a Hyakunin Isshu competition. The incident draws in Conan and Heiji Hattori, who investigate the bomber’s identity and motives. The plot also intertwines with a love triangle involving Heiji, Kazuha Toyama, and the mysterious Momiji Ooka, a karuta champion who claims to be Heiji’s fiancée. The investigation leads the detectives to a secret connected with the traditional Japanese card game Hyakunin Isshu.
Recent Detective Conan Streaming Activities
This “Cinema Saturdays” initiative follows a period of active content release from TMS Entertainment. In recent weeks, the “Anime! on TMS” channel has streamed Detective Conan: The Eleventh Striker, Detective Conan: The Fourteenth Target, and Detective Conan: Private Eye in the Distant Sea.
Beyond films, TMS Entertainment also began streaming a curated selection of Detective Conan anime episodes on Crunchyroll and Netflix starting July 3. These episodes are available in Japanese with a new English dub, marking its debut on Crunchyroll. The initial selection, titled “Conan vs. The Black Organization,” includes episodes featuring the titular antagonists, some of which were previously unavailable in the U.S. More episodes were added to these platforms on August 21.
Furthermore, TMS made headlines with the U.S. premiere of Detective Conan: The Black Iron Submarine, the 26th film in the franchise, at Anime Expo on July 5. This continuous effort highlights the enduring popularity of the Detective Conan series, which originated from Gosho Aoyama’s manga launched in 1994 and has since expanded into a long-running television anime and an extensive film series.
