the story is about a young boy Kyu who is a total detective nut (cause some detective saved him once).. given the opportunity he joins a detective school by Dan Morihiko, one of the greatest detectives in the country.. and goes on all sorts of adventures with his four classmates, all very special just like him..it was one of the first anime i watched when animax started coming in my region... it is an excellent anime about mystery and detective stuff.. the sound tracks and themes are also good...the best thing about it is that the puzzles are object and situation oriented and so you can also try to solve them even if u watching a subbed version (which becomes impossible in detective conan).. as there are only 45 episodes it is a perfect series for u if don't have much time.. rest assured i can say that after watching it u will not say it wasn't worth the time spent.
