Case Closed: Season Five

Amazing :)
It's really sad that this may be the last dubbed episodes of Case Closed. I first began watching this show when I was around ten years old, and I instantly fell in love with it. It had been a long time since I had last watched Case Closed, but I recently got out some old DVDs of it and watched it with my little sister, thus reawakening my love for it.

This is the first season I've ever purchased (I've bought DVDs with a few episodes on it, but never a whole season) and I was very pleased. I loved the case and how the DVDs were cleverly placed inside, and I especially enjoyed all the episodes. You meet knew people, see the old characters, and get to enjoy more amazing mysteries. I also enjoyed the few episodes that had ghouls and mysterious houses in them, and the appearance of Harley's "girlfriend" was a nice treat as well.

I found the mysteries in this season amazing as well. I really liked how they kicked off the season with the episode of Jimmy's first...

The Path To Justice Has Never Been so Fun
If you think about it, the world was a vastly different place in 1996. Bill Clinton was President, Dolly the sheep became the first successfully cloned mammal, the first ever DVD was released in Japan, and eBay listed its first online auction. I bring this up because that also happens to be the year that Case Closed aired on Japanese television. Here it is 2009 and like eBay, Case Closed is still going strong.

Funimation continues to bring the super sleuthing to the domestic DVD scene and I recently had a chance to sit down and enjoy the fifth season of the program (which aired in Japan back in 2004).

Released across 4 discs, the Uncut and Unedited Case Closed Season Five consists of 25 episodes (# 106-130) in a pair of thin packs. With a total runtime of 615 minutes, the set includes a few nice extras: Character Spotlight on the Junior Detective League and a Conan's Gadgets profile on the lead character's Stretchy Suspenders and Junior League Communicator...

great series...where is the rest?
This was a great conclusion to a series available in the US currently. I am trying to collect this complete series (including movies), but so few are currently available in this country. The teen-aged detective, turned young child has really got interesting. new rivals, which make even this boy genius have to think hard about what happened. including one which is a Master of disguise which I really want to see how gets brought to justice. Come on, release the next few seasons for us fans in the states
