Detective Conan OVA 05: The Target is Kogoro! The Detective Boys' Secret Investigation
Synopsis
Conan Edogawa and his classmates are assigned to do a class report about a small business of their choice. After discarding other possible topics, the Detective Boys concludes that it is a perfect opportunity to find out more about Detective Kogorou Mouri's job. Conan's friends refuse to settle for a simple interview, though, as they want to experience first-hand all the details of his work. Thus, they, along with a reluctant Conan and Ai Haibara, decide to tail the renowned detective for a day. However, the kids soon get involved in a grim situation when Kogorou's current case takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Audience Consensus
The OVA is considered a serviceable but unmemorable addition to the Detective Conan series. While it has some charming moments and a slightly larger role for Haibara, the premise of the Detective Boys shadowing Kogoro is not particularly engaging. The mystery element feels tacked on and the story lacks overall importance to the series.
Strengths
- Larger role for Haibara is appreciated.
Weaknesses
- Unmemorable premise.
- Mystery is not important to the premise.
- Story is not important to the series.
