Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa is about to start on Netflix, and it’s shady. Shady in a literal sense.
Detective Conan is an investigative thriller in which a genius looks like a little boy, and his evil nemesis is shown as nothing more than a silhouette in the show. The spin-off, The Culprit Hanzawa, makes that baddie the main character and keeps them as a silhouette in a surreal but oddly compelling decision.
Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa already had a run on Japanese TV last year. Produced by
Detective Conan: The Culprit Hanzawa is a 12-episode anime series produced by TMS Entertainment and directed by Akitaro Daichi, with character designs by Fu Chisaka.
Netflix’s trailer, which is English subtitled, says;
A dark shadow falls upon Beika Town, a place renowned for its high level of criminal cases. His (or her) purpose is to kill a certain man… Yes, the person indispensable to “Detective Conan” is now the protagonist! Tights-clad and pure of mind: it’s none other than the Culprit Hanzawa.
