About Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa

Here is what Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa (名探偵コナン 犯人の犯沢さん) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy and mystery anime by TMS Entertainment (2022). The premise: A town of crime, Beika Town. An enigmatic Dark Shadow descends onto this town that ranks among the highest crime rates in the realm.

As things develop, his (or her?) goal is to kill a “certain man.” That key player in Detective Conan is now a protagonist! Clad in tights and possessing a pure intellect, this person’s name is… the (pseudonymous) Culprit Hanzawa!

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Conan Edogawa (Minami Takayama) and Ai Haibara (Megumi Hayashibara) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
