Case Closed

Case Closed is an Anime based on the Meitantei Conan (名探偵コナン, officially translated as Detective Conan) manga series by Gosho Aoyama. Originally titled Meitantei Conan in Japan, the English dub was renamed Case Closed due to unspecified legal concerns with the name Detective Conan. The series is directed by Kenji Kodama and Yasuichiro Yamamoto and produced by TMS Entertainment and Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation.

Case Closed has aired since January 8, 1996 on Nippon Television Network System in Japan and is currently ongoing. It has aired over 600 episodes in Japan making it the eleventh longest running anime series. Also spun off from the main animation are three OVA series and a TV special titled Lupin the 3rd vs Detective Conan.

In 2003, the first 104 episodes of the regular animation series were licensed by FUNimation Entertainment for distribution in North America and was retitled Case Closed because of legal considerations. Case Closed debuted on Cartoon Network as part of their Adult Swim programming block on May 24, 2004; no more than 50 episodes were licensed from Funimation due to low ratings. The Canadian channel YTV picked up the Case Closed series and broadcast 22 episodes between April 7, 2006, and September 2, 2006, before taking it off the air. Funimation made the series available with the launch of the Funimation Channel in November 2005 and was temporary available on Colours TV during its syndication with the Funimation Channel. A separate English adaptation of the series by Animax Asia premiered in the Philippines on January 18, 2006, under the name Detective Conan. Because Animax were unable to obtain further TV broadcast rights, their version comprised 52 episodes. The series continued with reruns until August 7, 2006, when it was removed from the station.

Although Cartoon Network stopped ordering episodes, Funimation continued to dub the series direct-to-DVD and episodes 1–4 and 53–83 were released eleven DVD volumes released between August 24, 2004 and July 26, 2005. Funimation then redesigned its DVD volumes and episodes 1–52 were released in eight DVD volumes between February 21, 2006 and May 29, 2007. The series was later released in five seasonal DVD boxes between July 22, 2008 and May 12, 2009 containing 130 episodes in total. The seasonal boxes were then re-released as a part of Funimation's Viridian Edition line between July 14, 2009 and March 23, 2010.
