Synopsis

This OVA takes place ten years in the future and chronicles the possible events if Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara do not take the antidote to APTX 4869 and grow up alongside their friends Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi, while still maintaining their detective endeavors.

Audience Consensus

The OVA is viewed as an interesting 'what-if' scenario, particularly for dedicated fans of the characters. However, it's criticized for its weak plot, lack of significant character development, and wasted potential. The audience is mildly interested but ultimately underwhelmed due to the inconsequential nature of the story.

Strengths

  • Intriguing concept of a 'what-if' scenario.

Weaknesses

  • Lack of a compelling mystery or story.
  • Characters feel too similar to their younger selves despite the time skip.
