The first 28 episodes of Detective Conan succeed because they embrace a central asymmetry. Conan is a genius in a child’s body, a solver of crimes who cannot solve the greatest crime committed against him. He is surrounded by people he loves but cannot fully know.

The most essential episode. It sets up everything: the amusement park date, the initial encounter with Gin and Vodka (the men in black), the forced poison, and the first meeting with Ran and Kogoro. The animation style is vintage 1996, but the tension is timeless.
