In the last 18 months or so I've gone through 100 volumes of Detective Conan, and it's uniformly wonderful with nothing woke. It's unabashedly Japanese, with wonderful forays into the country's culture and history. There are female characters, but they're all largely normal. A few 'strong ones' appear, but only via a sort of mythical organization, so it doesn't really hurt the story.
Most people my age entered Japanime via 'Akira'... and then nothing else appeared until the internet, so then I went through Parasyte, HunterX, FMA etc and loved a lot of it. But Conan is really something special.
It's a bit hokey. It's not going to change your life.
But for our resident reader -- Smith1980 -- it's just a wonderful way to relax and forget the world.
Anyway, for anybody 25+ that just wants to forget the world for a bit; to recapture that sense of what it meant for boys to love girls; to reimagine spy games with weird gadgets; and to completely forget faggotry...
Conan's the thing.
(it's all available... nyaa....)
I'm still trying to catch up with the anime, skipping the subjectively less good fillers(I got a list from somewhere a while ago). Still around 500 episodes and it'll take a while to get to current. I just have issues finding the anime is adequate quality. I've checked the cat sound place, I have up until 800ish episode but it's in varying quality. Some with hard sub, some with the classic translation notes(love me those), some with meh video quality. It's a bit of a mess. You got any hint for me?
Tried aniwave, formerly 9anime?
Really hate not downloading episodes personally.
The vids hosted on mp4upload have a working download button in the player. It wouldn't be the most convenient thing in the world but you could download them 1 by 1 while watching along in another tab.
