I'm sure the non-anime people on my list are tired of me talking about Magic Kaitou, but you'll have to deal a little longer. Usually don't get to squee about the series more than once a year.

So! Big news first! I have a friend who is currently visiting Japan and got to see the 'Lost Ship in the Sky' this weekend! She sent me a lovely lovely summary, that I'm trying to talk her into letting me put up on the Kid Reference Page.

Her opening line was that movie 8, Magician of the Silver Sky, had always been her favourite (mine too!). And this topped it.
... I think it might top it too...

If you've been following here or on [livejournal.com profile] detective_conan, you know the basic scenario and outline. So, the good stuff!!!
Heiji and Kazuha, Heiji and phone calls with his boyfriend Kudo, Heiji getting questions about boys liking boys, Kid groping Ran, Conan feeling Kid up, Conan discovering Kid is ticklish, and a Goat deciding Kid is edible.
... A GOAT!!!
And everyone thinking that Shin'ichi is really the Kaitou Kid. ^__^

Also premièring on Friday was Magic Kaito TV Special. Which I'm wondering if this wasn't a test to see if they could pull off a full series.

While watching the raw was debating doing a summary of it, but it's primarily the first manga chapter, updated. There are now laptops, mobile phones, and video messages. [livejournal.com profile] skyechan has a nice summary and screen caps of it here.
Important bits:
Kaito's Mom now has a name in canon, Chikage (1,000 Shadows), which is making me wonder if she really isn't 'Phantom Lady' in the current manga chapter. She is voiced by Sailor Mars. Seriously.
She also now has red hair and a sharper haircut.

The door to the Lair (we really need to name that) is on a timer, Kaito just happens to be pushing on it when it turns over to '8 years'. Which makes me wonder if Toichi didn't know that something was going to happen, since he had this set up for Kaito, once he got older. And it appears that the main entrance is indeed from Kaito's bedroom.

Kaito has a new trick - SUMMON OCTOPUS!!!. It has to be seen to be believed, and I'm not gong to be the first to make tentacle jokes. ;P

Locations and language on the advance notices changed.
The original manga is: 『今日の23時54分 小野銀行の月の瞳をいただく. 怪盗キッド』
"At 11:54 tonight, at the Ono Bank I will steal the 'Eye of the Moon'. -Kaitou Kid"
Animated: 『明日23時54分東京シティミュージアム所蔵の月の瞳をいただく. 怪盗キッド』
"11:54 tonight, at the Tokyo City Museum I will steal the 'Eye of the Moon'. -Kaitou Kid."

... I am not doing more heist notices for the original MK until I get a program that can write kana and kanji again. It takes hours to look up and then copy/past each character. ~_~

Going back and forth on the art style, think they got a little too far away from Gosho's style and turned them more 'generic' than anything else. And early scenes of Jii Kid make him look like he's got wide child-birthing hips. Not just bearing. Birthing.

Not so hot on Aoko with Ran-length long hair either, always liked that she had shorter, but that's just personal preference. ^^;;

The music I both adore and dislike in turns. Sometimes is very Film Noir sounding, other times Spaghetti Western, it couldn't seem to make up its mind and be cohesive. Still, a very fun, lively soundtrack.

Anyway! So, The Kaitou Kid Reference Page has been updated. New heist notes, characters for the 14th movie (including the goat), VAs on the main cast page, and bits for the current manga arc, which I'm still waiting more news on.
Still in progress: new cast profile art and holding off on a new section for the Magic Kaito anime until we find out if it's a series or not. ^^;;

I gotta say XP I saw the tentacles and was like "....and thus Icka has made her way into the first ever anime eppy XP"

or hopefully eppy

I agree on the style... some was great... some made me go O.o but then... it was still okay and made me happy and squirm inside (I felt like they were trying to hard to make Kaito less Shinichi ish in the face... although OMG HAIR!!! )

and mop chase...

It was like... couldn't believe it was really happening XP

....and a goat tried to eat KID? *dies*

Wait wait. WHAT?!?! Oh my god, now I definitely can't wait for the movie to get subbed! *explodes from impatience*.

Did you see those snapshots of Magic File 4 too? Had me laughing. I'm so excited!! *bounces*

How'd you get your hands on the raw of the TV special?

Have you tried the Japanese Word Processor?

site is: http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~grosenth/japanese.html

He also wrote a nifty flashcard program for Kanji as well.

I have to admit, with the Magic Kaito anime, I'm still kind of judging--mostly because I agree with your points about the art style and the lack of cohesion in some moments.

I just don't get why they couldn't go with the style Detective Conan has already established for these characters O_o unless it wasn't the same studio, but if not, they still got the same voice actors. Hm...

I AM CURIOUS TO SEE HOW IT WILL GO THOUGH.

But eeeeeeeee 14th movie sounds like it's going to be SO MUCH FUN to watch |DDD;

I WAS RIGHT!

Knew that attack clock + picture was a timer. The leaning against the picture was NOT a sudden move, it's something Kaito had to have done before, thus, the picture had to have been locked before that moment.

*does the happy 'I was right dance'*

...way off on Kuroba-san's name though.

Now I can't wait to see either Movie 14 or the TV special... *sigh*

THAT IS NOT KAITO! OR AOKO! (how they got the teacher spot on I don't know).

BTW, dunno if you noticed, but the monicle is tinted blue (and no, it's not just a night reflection, you see 'out' of it through two different angles and the glass is actually blue), and obviously larger then the manga...could be a BIG reason why there's a mess up in facial re-construction (blue tings on things not only change colour, but can change perception of shape...or else I just can't draw when using a blue screen layer).

Also, my theory on the clock is that Kuroba-san (whom I swear will stop wanting to refer to as Mika and use her proper name) actually set it the night Toichi died, hoping that Kaito either never found it, it wouldn't be needed...or that Kaitou Kid could live again as a 'fun' theif, not someone who was hunted by murders.

The 14th movie

forgive my lurking, but I am a fan of you fiction, and have just discovered your reference page (which is most beautiful and loverly)I decided, instead of doing homework, to squee about KID. I am currently studying in Japan myself and saw the new movie the DAY it came out with my BFF. LOVED IT. My brain broke when KID started goofing off with the goat. Totally going to see it again!

A quote for your perusal from my BFF(hopfully your friend told you about the end clip): "Kaito's goin' for a feelski!!!"

Hi! Just wanted to mention that I really like both your fics and your movie summaries. It's all really entertaining.

Also, I know you got the movie summary on your 1412 page from someone else, but the summary mentions not knowing what "shamu" means. Based on a similar usage in my J->E dictionary, I'd have to say it means "Siamese". Which kinda makes sense in the context in which it's used.

Just thought you might like to know (or note).

Keep up all the good work!
