Friends who like reasoning anime can easily compare "Conan" and "Kindaichi", although most people will think "Kindaichi" The reasoning level of "Kindaichi" is higher, but even so, whether it is the popularity or the ratings, "Kindaichi" is far inferior to "Conan".

"Kindaichi" animation ratings began to fall into a slump in 2000, and ended in September of the same year; until the launch of "Kindaichi Boys Event Book R" in 2014 (where "R" represents "Return" means returning); this is also the TV animation of the original comic again after 14 years. The ratings of "Conan" have remained stable and never stopped.

Obviously "Kindaichi" was serialized two years earlier than "Conan" , but why is the popularity far less than the latter?

Number of Authors‍

Kindaichi Youth Case Book", which is a Japanese reasoning manga drawn by manga artist Fumiya Sato and original script by Yosaburo Jincheng and Seimaru Amaki. All the long-form crime tactics were conceived and completed by only two people. It was very powerful. Without being spoiled at all, I was more surprised to see who the murderer was than Conan.

Different character settings

"Kindaichi" 's protagonist Jintian Iichi is a talented high school student with an IQ of 180. Although he has a high IQ, his academic performance is very poor. , He is often late, skips classes, and has been repeating for a long time; and he is only 167 cm tall.A "pure cock silk" with a mediocre appearance and very lustful. Generally, the police ask him for help, and they will reluctantly agree only if the conditions are met. In addition to his IQ, he looks like an ordinary person from the outside, and he is really grounded from the perspective of the personality.

and "Conan" 's protagonist and Kudo Shinichi are just the average rich and handsome. There is nothing he doesn't understand, no matter how unpopular they are. His knowledge can also say one, two, three. He is the top talent in Hawaii Vocational and Technical School. Even after becoming Conan, she is also a young Zhengtai with knowledge, culture and emotional intelligence. Whoever asks him for help will accept everything. Anyway, she is very popular among girls.

"Kindaichi Youth Case Book" In addition to the actor "Kindaichi" and his childhood sweetheart " Nanase Miyuki", as well as the three main characters of the policeman "Sword Holder", The rest are only murderers, victims and passers-by, with very few supporting roles.

In contrast, "Conan" has a large number of protagonists, and they are also protagonists of different types and meanings. (The picture below is all the protagonists, including Kidd, Winery, FBI, CIA, Ministry of Public Security, etc. that have not been displayed yet)

content setting‍

"Golden Field One" In terms of reasoning, it has no main storyline, not many emotional lines, and there is no so-called childhood sweetheart; the story is mainly centered on reasoning and solving cases, with foreshadowing and responsiveness, it is a standard original reasoning work (Benedict reasoning: because of this,The logical reasoning model of natural reason).

and "Conan" has a lot of other elements added to the setting, such as adventure, puzzle solving, suspense, high-tech, etc., and the love scene runs through, in comparison, reasoning The design of the process and the case is completely inferior to Jin Tianyi. The audience is more willing to accept dramas with diversified factors, which happens to meet the needs of most people.

Audience oriented towards direction Moreover, "Kindaichi" was too scary and bloody compared to Conan. Some cases even reached the level of "perversion", which made many people totally unacceptable. It was too scared to watch Conan. Watching Jintianichi could pass out directly. Therefore, this part of the audience is directly lost.

"Conan" is a commercial film, and the audience achieves his goal without feeling bored. And "Golden Field One" really wants to show his reasoning. This is the disadvantage of "Golden Field One".

Reasoning content

"Conan" 's knowledge is too wide, from astronomy and geography to historical music, the mode of reasoning and solving is basically . Various coincidences + justification , not before reasoning Putting out the evidence clues, but suddenly like stepping on the switch, all the problems are clearly understood, and all kinds of Newtons should be used to explain the case? 's physical approach can be realized.We can only say what Conan says, and we just acquiesce in it.

In contrast, the reasoning process of "Golden Field One" belongs to each exclusion, all evidence clues are shown to you and even some small details are also featured in close-ups, which can give the audience a feeling of solving the case with Jin Tianyi , Everyone can participate, and then it suddenly dawned on me.


Summary:

plus the scene of "Golden Field One" is too bloody, so in the audience flow will lose a lot of viewers, but it is undeniable. It is still a very classic work, and many classic TV series are basically copying and plagiarism. For example, the most familiar "Young Bao Qingtian", " Fang Miyue Detective" starring Zhang Weijian, 2014 " Young Detective Di Renjie" (this is a very serious copy), Hong Kong TVB's " "Gu Ling Jing Detective" is plagiarized to a certain extent.

As the two heroes of detective reasoning comics, "Conan" and "Kindaichi", one is a more popular magical (or magic, qtn reasoning) adventure mode, and the other is a higher quality authentic reasoning mode. The styles of the participants are different. But all have his good-looking and classic features, so which fairy manga was the next one that was consumed by "Conan"?
