If you’ve a friend who needs a quick introduction to the tropes of anime, to see how cool it can be, how cliche, how those two things work together and all the rest, then I think you show them this trailer.
Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween is also about the feature-length movie’s theme song. That’s music by Bump of Chicken. That’s right. What a name.
Oh, remember, the young detective kid isn’t a prodigy and is a guy ageing backwards.
This will be the 25th Detective Conan feature-length, and it’s due out in Japan on April the 15th.
Here’s the official synopsis for the movie. See if it helps explain the trailer at all!
Shibuya, Tokyo, is bustling with the Halloween season. A wedding is being held at Shibuya Hikarie, where Detective Miwako Sato of the Metropolitan Police Department is dressed in a wedding dress. While Conan and the other invited guests are watching, an assailant suddenly bursts in, and Detective Wataru Takagi, who was trying to protect Sato, is injured. Takagi survived and the situation was settled, but in Sato’s eyes, the image of the grim reaper that she had seen when Detective Matsuda, the man she had been in love with, had been killed in a series of bombings three years ago, overlapped with Takagi’s.
At the same time, the perpetrator of the bombings escapes from prison. Is this really a coincidence? Rei Furuya (Toru Amuro), a member of the public safety police, is hunting down the man who killed his classmate, Detective Matsuda, but a mysterious person in disguise suddenly appears and puts a collar bomb on him.
Conan visits the underground shelter where Amuro is hiding out to disarm the collar bomb, and hears about an incident three years ago when he and his now deceased classmates from the police academy encountered an unidentified virtual bomber named “Plamya” in Shibuya. As Conan and his team investigate, a disturbing shadow begins to loom over them.
