I’m hoping for a remake of the Detective Conan series in the style of The One Piece, produced by Wit Studio. Or a remake that adapts the volumes of the Special Black Edition that have been released in Japan so far.

I too would like to see a remake of Conan more close to Aoyama's manga (the early parts weren't adapted well) with just the essential cases.

The main reason why the anime needs a remake is that the TV anime is only very limited in availability internationally – mostly through traditional TV broadcasts. In many countries, there has been no simulcast available on major streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, or Crunchyroll. As a result, the state of the series is extremely varied. In Germany, only 445 episodes have been aired, while in the USA, only 135 episodes have been shown – while the series in Japan has long passed over 1000 episodes. A worldwide simulcast on a major platform would be a total game-changer. If Detective Conan were to be remade – ideally focusing on the key story arcs, such as the Black Organization – it could make the series more compact, higher quality, and, above all, more accessible internationally. The remake could either be based directly on the manga or on the Special Black Edition volumes, which thematically focus on these core storylines. And if the remake were produced in a modern style by a renowned studio like Wit Studio – similar to the new One Piece remake – it would be a dream come true for many fans. But even the original animation studio, TMS Entertainment, which has been behind the series from the beginning, should be given the opportunity to handle such a remake if they have an interest. No one knows the world of Detective Conan better than they do. |

Technically in the us it was actually only the first 128 episodes in the US, because Funimation split all of the double episodes into 2 separate episodes. Also every episode since 754 has also been available in the US on Crunchyroll, but that kind of makes it even more annoying because theres 626 episodes in the very middle of the show that you can’t watch officially. I’d be all for a remake, but it’s probably going to be a movie or something. |

Can we get the 600 or so episodes that have never been released in North America for the 30th anniversary? So we have the option to watch the show if we want?

The problem with this being, of course, that there's no clear consensus on which specific cases qualify as being essential, and which don't. Especially with those episodes that mix-in fairly important stuff from the manga with filler cases. I think the sheer scale of Conan makes any remake kind of doomed from the onset. Like just paring down "essential" to the bare minimum, an anime Conan that solely focuses on adapting the Black Organization chapters would be an adaptation missing an enormous amount of what makes Conan compelling. |

Well, I'm expecting some kind of remake even if it's just of a significant episode.

Conan does not need a remake. That would be a momentous waste of time and resources. Maybe specific famous cases being remade but not the series as a whole.
The idea of an 'essential cases' remake is impossible because even if you adapted only the manga cases that ignores the fact there were anime-only cases that were retroactively made canon into the manga including anime only characters like Shiratori, or the fact Aoyama specifically used some of the movies to reveal things before the manga due to being able to use things like a character's voice to be the big reveal (Subaru Okiya in Dimensional Sniper) |

We already got a remake of Moonlight Sonata, and that didn't really hit the mark unfortunately. :/ |

I’ve also thought for a while that doing a “remake” of Detective Conan would be a great idea, like what Netflix is doing for One Piece, the editing of Dragon Ball Kai, or straight up remakes like Sailor Moon Crystal and Spice and Wolf.
I felt episodes 1000 and 1001 Moonlight Sonata Mystery did a great job as a remake and can serve as the model, though considering the original case is 6 chapters and most cases these days are roughly 3 chapters to 2 episodes, it would have been interesting to see it stretched out to 5-6 episodes. That said, I felt it was fine and that model can be used to remake the series, especially early episodes that deviated from the manga. I don’t think, however, that key things to know that were revealed in the movies need to be rehashed. The movies aren’t going away, so like Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, those can still stay as part of the canon in both series. If most people are honest, the majority of the non-event filler episodes are… not good, or at best, vanilla. I’ll take a remake of a manga case 10 times out of 10 over something like that water taxi episode or smile village or the nightmare giant fork/spoon/utensils whatever it was, which I still maintain is the worst episode of anime I’ve ever watched, and I’ve sat though nearly every Naruto filler. And yes, I’ll echo what almost everyone else has said: we’ve gotten the first 123 “Funimation” episodes, the short lived Netflix episodes from 748, and Crunchyroll’s 754 to 1159 this past week. Give us the other 624 episodes and the movies we’re still unable to easily legally watch in the US. That alone would be a dream worth celebrating. |
