Kogoro as a bodyguard again… The plot is quite interesting and there are some funny moments. The case is quite interesting and pretty nice. One of the better filler episodes. I also like the resolution of the case.

This Ayumi’s diary series is really getting boring by now. I hope we won’t see another part of this. This case isn’t the worst but it’s also not the best. You can skip it in my opinion.

It’s not the most interesting episode. It feels like we’ve had a case like this before. In my opinion, it’s one of the worse filler episodes but a plus point is that this episode is the post-story of movie 28.

Rating:

2/10 band members

The episode begins quite promising but the reason for the kidnapping is really weird and bad. I guess the writers really had no idea what to do with this two-parter. I have so many questions, it’s boring and bad-written. You can skip it in my opinion.

It’s an interesting case. I like Conan and Wakita’s dialog but some of the scenes we saw in part 1 are repeated in part 2. I didn’t like that. It’s nice that the trick and Kid’s disguise was shown.

Rating:

6/10 poisoned desserts

The case is ok. It’s interesting to find out who’s the culprit and how the victim got poisoned but more interesting to me was the situation between the three couples. Overall, it’s not the best two-parter but it’s still worth watching.
