Not as long as Ai continues to be a slut.

It has that chance for as long as the internet is free and easy accessible for us, at any given time its popularity could surge, the genre and episode amount makes it hard to get into unlike say Pokemon because its exposure/genre.

Now it'd just take if some popular youtuber gave it some push or referenced it in a way where other more popular things are. A lot of america still doesn't know it exists because you can easily miss it while trying to find anime to binge, especially since people are likely to use different categories than Conan is in like battle shounen or huge drama, or fanservice stuff. People write it off as too baby-ish and if they get far enough to know it has murders, don't think that's enough. This was an actual issue when it was airing on Adult Swim, among other things. After someone is dead and shown on screen there's still, in a usual episode, lots of walking around and talking, most of the episode isn't showing the corpse aside from background shots, and the episodes with the kids make the majority of the episode embarrassing for battle shounen viewers to sit through.

I guess maybe Netflix, Conan has some episodes there and on Crunchyroll but it's still out of the way for anyone not knowing about it and there's a gigantic gap of episodes, roughly 700, missing. That's for CR, Netflix just has episodes 748-799 I guess. There's just two primary goals, to officially support it, which you can't for like 70%+ of the series, and for it to be heavily discussed, which won't happen until it becomes known better. People are still going to be put off watching an anime with a 7 year old protagonist, it makes a world of difference between that and a teenager fighting demons or wanting to battle people and accomplish a goal one day. That's what's popular here, that's why the movies did a bit better than the main series (action).

Why are conanfags like this

Why are you here?

To add on to that, because I found the thread at page 9 and it already had got to 10, it missed a huge fucking chance the way it aired on TV. Like I said at the start, exposure matters, and it absolutely fucking could not get that. Even its first episode was hard to catch for people able to, they kept fucking around with its already late timeslot and its first episode couldn't even be recorded because guides were saying it was on at 12 and not 12:30. Then while still pushing new episodes out, it gets a 1am deathslot. The intended audience of Adult Swim didn't like it because, from what I've gathered:
>it had outdated animation/style like Lupin which also has never made great ratings
>adult swim paired it up with lupin, making this seem more apparent
>promoted them both as an old school anime block despite a 20 year gap between the shows, pretended Conan was a classic 70s show
>name changes (it didn't only matter to purists)
>kid protagonist, childish for 80% at least of the detective boys episodes which some watchers didn't even like
>the execs apparently didn't like it, also apparently intended to air on Toonami when it was a daytime block but it didn't work out (lots of promotional material always mentioned CN and never adult swim, certain weird edits that shouldn't exist for adult swim material)
and the actual demographic for this show couldn't stay up that late for it on school nights easily, another thing was that its ratings were alright but not for the adult swim demographic they were focusing on.

I hope you're kidding, outside of the average question me and like 2 other regulars are the only ones that actually care. Sometimes its an easy conversation starter, sometimes its to incite the burger term. Either way I haven't seen anyone ever fully get immersed into the topic as myself, direct the annoyance at me if it bothers you, because I assure you 95% of conanfags don't give much of a shit beyond basic wonder about it's failure here.

To clarify, edits I mean were dialogue related, in the episode where Conan turns back into Shinichi from Heiji's sake, when he's a kid and drinking it they never directly refer to it as anything beyond an elixir, and Conan having a hangover isn't commented on. When he's Shinichi, suddenly it's an alcoholic beverage. The wine in the department store case that the kids use on the burglars make them sleepy, not dizzy or drunk. In the Class Reunion Case, Ran says she was wearing a bathing suit, a pointless script change because not even a minute later they show this and they didn't edit on anything to either of them. Stuff like that always seemed to imply a daytime airing was intended to me, and I've talked to someone that said that old adult swim message boards explained that it was. Take it with a grain of salt because those died years ago and nothing was archived.

It's very hard to find any comments from Funimation or Williams Street execs discussing Conan. Even obviously existing stuff because of certain remaining discussions can't be found anymore because so much was lost when they dropped the license and all their webpages for it died. Wayback doesn't help much.
Also since this seems to be an issue for people, if you don't want to discuss the dub or how shit America is, you don't have to, introduce any topic you want to talk about. You can post whatever. This works for any thread for Conan at least, if no one is discussing what you want, toss it out there.

I think there's a very simple reason why Americans don't like Detective Conan, and it's because it doesn't deal with the topics of drug use or drug dealing and drug abuse and drug addiction (when you ignore the APTX4869).

Detective Conan could attempt to pander to the American market by including a major drug cartell arc. But that's unlikely to happen, now that the plot is slowly wrapping up, and the author is in bad health too i think.

Instead of the three walls of text I wrote I think this is the correct reason actually. Good deduction.

Because it's lame as fuck and the episodic nature of it gets old after a while.
The real question is why is Japan so obsessed with this lame as shit brand.
