Synopsis:
This short-form animated work presents a curious juxtaposition. It features the renowned detective Conan Edogawa, typically engaged in intricate mystery-solving, placed within a narrative framework seemingly designed to showcase a specific product – the Wooo television line. The story unfolds as a series of interconnected vignettes, blending the familiar deductive reasoning and suspense elements of the Detective Conan universe with lighthearted, almost surreal scenarios.
The animation style maintains the established aesthetic of the Conan franchise, while incorporating visual cues that subtly highlight the features and capabilities of the featured televisions. Rather than a traditional plot-driven narrative, the work adopts a more experimental approach, using Conan's investigative skills to navigate everyday situations – and ultimately, to demonstrate the clarity and vibrancy of the Wooo display technology. The experience is less about complex storytelling and more about a playful exploration of how technology can shape perception and reality.

Esta review también está en español. In this ONAS, we have yet another intellectual challenge for lil Conan. In his apparently series of neverending adventures, he faced countless villains (which stars between one and three episodes), mobster, Kaito Kid and even Lupin III... but now, Edowaga's facing the Wooo. Who's the Wooo? Is... a TV (a Hitachi one, btw). Surprise, surprise, this is a commercial! But before you complain about how Conan sold out, let's see what this is all about. There are two ads, each with a different story. In the first one, the Mouri family enjoys a new television program about detectives, in whichKogoro is very good discovering the culprit... way too good to be true. Unfortunately, since this is the first episode, there wasn't a NEXT CONAN'S HINT! thingy that help us to reach the answer... so, I will give you a hint: the Wooo is involved. nIn episode number two, a couple has a discussion about how and when they should record their television shows (serious business, people... I think there was an actress daughter in the middle, but don't fool ourselves: the important thing is the TV). Since their dilemma is quite tricky, they decide to ask for the help of a world known detective... but don't worry, Conan will use his uncanny deductive skills to realize that certain bun looks like a cat, and the everybody will be happy. Really, that's what happens. nnBut it doesn't end there, no. In both eps, there's detailed info (in the episode itself, and in the ending.. because yes, there's an ending in this production) of how the various gimmicks of the Wooo works, like the simultaneous watching/recording option, the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), the storage system... oh Wooo, there's something you can't do? nnThe characters involved are the classic four: Conan, Ran, Kogoro and Agasa, with random cameos from other minor characters in the form of television commercials (yes, there are ads in the ad...), like the detective boys. Producers were also able to convince the legendary door that opens/closes in the middle of the ep to work in this project. The new member of the cast is, of course, a spectacular Hitachi flat screen TV, that was so popular among fans, that there were numerous requests that Wooo replace Genta's character in the series. nnOn the audiovisual level, DCvs.W (holy, you turn that W down, and it looks like you have a Batman vs. Ironman showdown) is impeccable. Both animation and sound are so good that you don't even need a Woo to appreciate it! (And damn, that's saying a lot). nnSo, seriously speaking, you may have noted that this is a giant joke. But is a very funny one: it really worth the watch, at least to laugh at how blatant the whole deal is. Although, it's supposed to be shameless, after all, is publicity. So, this is for Detective Conan fans (if you are wandering, there aren't any kind of spoilers here, so…
