The criminal mind is a twisted one and Jimmy Kudo knows the shady corridors of humanity like no other detective in the business. He’s put more scum behind bars than just about anyone on the beat and his skills have earned him plenty of enemies, and he pays the price one dark night… Being poisoned and left for dead. But rather than meeting his end in a shallow grave, Jimmy gets a new beginning. Awakening to find himself transformed, the evil elixir of his faceless foes has changed him into a small boy – The perfect cover! Utilizing his unlikely new persona and cutting edge technology, Jimmy is hot on the trail of his assailants as Conan Edogawa.
The path to justice will be littered with cruelty and madness, the worst of man on display as this sleuth cuts through the underworld in search of answers, solving one sick crime at a time. Truth is not open to interpretation. There’s no room for error when life and limb are on the line. A detective like no other, Conan is on the case!
Season 4 contains episdodes 80-105.
Varying the length of the mysteries from one to four episodes in the long-running (more than 500 episodes) Case Closed helps to keep the series fresh during the fourth season by allowing the filmmakers to introduce more complex plots and multiple characters. But the overall feel is uneven: While many of the adventures are exciting and innovative, others don’t pay off satisfactorily. The way the murder was committed in Episode #93 “Deadly Art” baffles even Conan: Who expects a hi-tech weapon at a flower show? When Richard breaks his leg in Episode #94 “Hospital Homicide” Conan has to handle a gang of bankrobbers-turned-kidnappers completely on his own. The oddest adventure of the season is the four-part “Jimmy Kudo Revealed.” Rachel finally realizes that Conan has to be Jimmy: He knows more than any 8- year-old possibly could, but he displays the same gaps in his knowledge as Jimmy. A childhood photo confirms her suspicions: Conan looks exactly like Jimmy (except for the glasses, which he doesn’t really need). Conan has his back against the wall when he’s saved by the convenient appearance of his actress mother and crime novelist father. Although the quarrelsome pair helps solve an Agatha Christie-style mystery, they’re weak, unsatisfying characters. At the end of the story, Rachel’s suspicions about Conan just disappear–they’re not resolved, but they’re never mentioned again. The two most intriguing characters from Season #3 make only brief appearances: Harley Hartwell, the teen detective who recognized Jimmy’s deductive powers in Conan, and Conan’s nemesis, the magician/cat burglar Phantom Thief 1412 a.k.a. the Phantom Thief Kid.

I enjoy this item because I like the cartoons. I used to watch this on regular TV but when it was discontinued, I started purchasing these episodes. They are very good and as long as they available on sale, I will be purchasing them. I recently placed an order for the Sason Five episodes. I am looking forward to them.

Our whole family loves the Case Closed series. This was a great set because there were many episodes that we did not get to see before. Each time, the first time through, it’s always exciting to try and guess the outcome. Some of these had me stumped and my sons too. This was a birthday present for my younger son Brad; Good Pick! We’re ready for Season 5!

I just got the set two days ago and each episode was great. Conan was shown as the tone deaf person he really is and the cases were as good as their manga counterparts, but I was disappointed by the misleading label. In the past, FUNimation has always listed episode that were one-hour long as separate episodes and played it all the way through with no breaks, when you viewed the episode (Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, Mist Goblin, and Phantom Thief 1412, as examples of what they did in earlier releases). However, with this set they took a two-hour long episode and literally separated it into four episodes. It obvious that it was supposed to be 2-hours because they show scenes from the entire episode each of the four times the opening came up. Now, this does not mean that I will not continue supporting the U.S. release of the show, but I feel cheated that they did this, when the box says “unedited/uncut”. I’ll continue supporting the U.S. release and recommending it to others, hoping that FUNimation does not do this again in the future.
