It has been announced that the TV anime " Detective Conan " (Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV, Saturday 6pm), based on the popular manga by Gosho Aoyama , will celebrate its 30th anniversary in January 2026, and to commemorate this, a project called "30 YEAR PROJECT" will be launched. As the first step of the project, a 30th anniversary logo and movie were unveiled at the final Conan concert held on April 13th. A special website for the project has also been opened.
The commemorative logo depicts Conan holding a magnifying glass in the shape of the number "30". The footprints around it represent his past and future steps, and contain the message, "We will continue to find the truth together with our fans." The commemorative video begins with a scene of a shrunken Kudo Shinichi (Edogawa Conan), and as the story progresses, more and more friends appear. The video is peppered with famous scenes and lines, such as, "What's the reason? I don't give a damn about people's motives for killing other people... but there's no logical reason for people helping other people, right?"
" Detective Conan" is a popular manga serialized by Aoyama in the manga magazine "Weekly Shonen Sunday" (Shogakukan). It depicts elementary school detective Conan Edogawa solving difficult cases one after another. A TV anime series has been broadcast since 1996, and a movie version has been produced since 1997.
The latest movie, "Detective Conan: One-Eyed Flashback of the One-Eyed" will be released on April 18th.
