Meitantei Conan OVA 06: Kieta Daiya wo Oe! Conan & Heiji VS Kid!

This is definitely the weakest of the Detective Conan OVAs for me, thus far. The story starts off somewhat interesting, but eventually trails off. Despite Kaitou Kid being featured in the title, and on the cover, he barely shows up, and what we're left with is an empty story where things tend to happen without any real reason, and the mystery that's solved is simple and boring. There's a few funny moments which work well enough, but that's not good enough to fill an entire episode with. By the end, there's no real conclusion to the story, and things just kind of end with therebeing no actual ending.nnThe characters are still just as interesting as they are in the show normally, the art is passable, as is the soundtrack. Everything besides the story is passable, but overall, this is a really weak, tepid episode, which doesn't offer up anything significant to the overarching Detective Conan storyline, and also fails to be an interesting stand-alone story. If you're a fan of the show and have a need to watch every episode, feel free to watch it, but for everybody else, I'd say that this one is definitely skippable.

Completionists only. The title of this is bait. It's really just a Heiji and Conan story with a tiny dash of Kaito Kid thrown in there to entice people to buy it unsuspectingly. kid has literally one set of lines at the very end. Nakamori has a bigger role than him. The beginning is intriguing and has a lot of nice touches to it that could make a fan smile. There's Kogoro's crush on Yoko Okino. There's a flashback to when Ran and Shinichi were kids. There's Ran just being a nice person in her community. But then the mystery intrudes and it's so terribly thin.To call it a mystery is an overstatement. It's just something mysterious that unceremoniously resolves itself when Conan and Heiji get involved. The way that they address the situation requires them to forget about one of Conan's most-frequently used gadgets until the very end, and there's no clever sleuthing involved at all.nnEverything else about it is standard for a forgettable episode of the show, so it's not terrible. But it was a bait-and-switch and not a good one.
