| “News travels fast in places where nothing much ever happens.” ― Charles Bukowski |
| Someone on the ANN boards mentioned about the show taking Space Brother's time slot. Does that mean Space Bros will end soon? |
 |
| Great news, about time after i finished the game |
 **☾** |
| biggest news here is that its taking Space Brothers timeslot... and that makes zero sense since its been doing great in the ratings, has plenty of material still left to cover and an anime movie coming out in August. Why can the anime now? They've been doing tons of filler and slow pacing recently too, if it was going to end why not just cover the rest of the content available? |
 |
| Good to hear! Hopefully, someone would be willing to sub it, this time. |
| I doubt Space Brothers is ending. I can't get into it myself, but it seems to be popular with most ppl. I've heard a lot of good things about the manga, but I've yet to see any of its adaptations. Should interesting to finally see what this series is about. |

I've seen quite a bit of its live-action series. It's kinda like Detective Conan where the MC solves the murder cases that happened wherever he goes lol. Though I don't know the main plot of this series whereas Detective Conan is to find the identities of the group that turned him into a kid. |
| So, uh... is this gonna be a remake or a continuation? |
 |
| Hopefully this new series could get fansubbers to sub the rest of the older one... or at least, that's what I hope :/ |
| At least I wouldn't spend my time to watch the first one if it is going to be remake :D |

RyanSaotome said: The ratings have been good compared to other anime, but not that good for the timeslot. Kekkaishi was getting 7-9% when it aired before Detective Conan before it ended up being demoted to an after midnight timeslot (this was when Conan aired on Mondays, but it's still the most comparable series). biggest news here is that its taking Space Brothers timeslot... and that makes zero sense since its been doing great in the ratings, has plenty of material still left to cover and an anime movie coming out in August. Why can the anime now? They've been doing tons of filler and slow pacing recently too, if it was going to end why not just cover the rest of the content available? Also there really isn't that many chapters left. The manga is only around 50 chapters ahead, and since Space Brothers is renewed in 4-cour blocks that leaves around 75 chapters for 57 episodes (with a minimum 30 chapter gap). It's doable, but there would need a big pace change. Despite popular belief the recent episodes have still been around 2 chapters per ep. |
| I've seen every Kindaichi Live-Actions and they're pretty engaging in spite of somewhat cheesy dialogues. The differences with Detective Conan is that Kindaichi consist of much more complex murder case, often stretch to more than 10 chapters for each case, more grounded and down-to-earth (it has no ridiculous sci-fi gadget that Conan posseses nor body-shrinking drugs), and always involve suspects with heavily tragic background whose only motivation for committing murder is revenge. Among all of the chapters, i find the Phantom Opera House to be the most engaging, literally blew my mind at the revelation part. And this is what i wish to be prioritized over for the upcoming anime. |
| I just started watching the original series a few weeks ago. Hopefully it gets subbers to finish subbing the old series. Might be a nice watch. HOWEVER, don't they fucking touch my Space Brothers. |
| Been meaning to watch this anime for a while guess I better start now so I can catch up with this new one coming. |
| Please, make that the older series get subbed because this. |
 |
| Oh boy. This is a continuation but it's okay because Kindaichi cases are episodic in nature. Also, iirc, one of the murder arc from the CASE series was adapted before. So this is just using whatever new material not seen in its anime incarnation. |

| Before the knock off claim starts in, Kindaichi was serialized in 1992, Conan was 1994. They are basically of the same genre, dealing with whodunit murder mystery. The main gist of the whole series is to encourage the audience to solve the case as the show goes on. Clues can be subtle though but it will usually appear for a brief while. And yes, Kindaichi cases are much more grounded and psychological in nature. http://i.imgur.com/MtEWzJX.png?1?4146 Says it all at the end of the each episode where they prompt the audience to participate. |

| Wow, really? I was half expecting news of a new jdrama season with the cast that's done the last two specials, but getting more anime instead was unexpected, and honestly more interesting for me too. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how this will go, this franchise is such a favorite of mine! |

Its not getting closer to the manga any more then any other long running show. One Piece has been doing 1 chapter an episode for years, and that would give Space Brothers more then enough breathing room. Could throw in a filler arc too. |

| More Kindaichi! I haven't finish the original, and sort of forgotten about it. Cool reminder. |

| Fantastic news! I've been waiting for someone to sub the original series for years but it seems that no one is going to do that. I'll be watching this one and maybe it'll remind some group about the old one. Other than that, I'm a HUGE Detective Conan fan myself and I feel like we seriously need more detective anime shows! they're always entertaining and informative. can't wait for April.. seems like it's going to be one of the most amazing anime seasons in a long times! |

| FCK YEAH :D I like the manga and some of the OVAs too, so this is a delight. Plus, it's airing next season? Yessss.

| I watched Kindaichi a while back but never finished :/ guess its about time I start to finish it so I can watch this one. |

| Yes! but what exactly is this going to be adapting? The "case series" only or what... Is it going to be like 24 episodes or something? It's going to follow Hajime no Ippos footsteps hmm? OMG so hyped.. I've always loved the Anime version over the manga so much more. |

 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| Japan is really an interesting country. If it was US, the mangaka of Kindaichi would have been long sued for using Kosuke Kindaichi's name without permission. |

| if a new restart, I'm gonna watch but if it isn't I don't want it. and btw Solkiskey said: HOWEVER, don't they fucking touch my Space Brothers. |
| This is great! I've read a few Kindaichi cases and they were pretty good, but never got around to watching the anime. It's always good to have more mystery anime, since they're so rare, and I'm a huge Detective Conan fan, so I look forward to watching an anime adaptation of the manga that inspired DC. |

| Kindaichi didn't inspire DC. |
| How could they sue Kindaichi for the name though? It's not like this Kindaichi is the Kindaichi, but the *supposed* grandson of the Kindaichi. bergil said: Kindaichi didn't inspire DC. Well Kindaichi and DC have this similar magician type of person there going on, it's not the first time that someone like Lupin is being used in detective fiction... It's kinda not like that for Kindaichi though, but it has one case and I guess a recurring villain. Hmm then again I forgot that Kaito appeared 5 years before Kindaichi came out so whateeevs. |

They used his name in the manga without asking for permission. |

| ^ Also relating to the whole "suing" topic, didn't the author (of Kindaichi manga) steal a lot of actual detective stories? : o not that the fact that he stole will make me not watch this LOL. |
| Hell yeah! I love the series. Remembering the anime and live action film by the guy from Kinki Kidz. |
