(these are fragments of my vn's story. I will put them properly in my story later. I write them in jp so most people don't get spoiled.) 最初に出会った時のあの人の記憶ふいに浮かぶと。。。
「氷」が感じる。。。
あの人を触れると氷を触れるように冷たい感覚
ずっと無言のまま。。。
あの時の俺は他の人と同じ。。。話すに足る存在じゃなかったかな。。。

I'm so sorry to Takumi fans, but pls, why is he stupid. Why couldn't he at least think of the possibility that shizuhara also has some time travel ability, the moment she tells him 'you made the right choices'

Day 24 (2nd time)
Maybe you can make luminol in that machine and test it for blood traces on weapons (for example kyoshika's)
Even though it's a katana, she could use the 1 foot of the front?
You can search for weapons in various places.
Does luminol react to cryptoglobin, will it give reaction for invader's blood?

山本 泰一郎 Yasuichiro Yamamoto is without a doubt, the most important figure in the history of the Detective Conan anime. He first joined the anime production on Episode 34 and quickly became a central creative force. He served as Series Director from Episodes 119 to 332, playing a key role in shaping the show’s tone, structure, and identity during its foundational years. He's left his mark on openings, endings, OVAs, directed special episodes, movies etc... After a long break, Yamamoto returned as Series Director starting from Episode 667 and he’s still in that role today. Over the years, the anime production has changed a lot, but through all of that, Yamamoto has remained the most steady and reliable figure in the series. Even as the workload increased and things became more fragmented, he managed, as a veteran, to keep the anime consistent and coherent.
Here’s an overview of his work.
Yamamoto’s direction is not driven by loud visuals or a fixed aesthetic. While he doesn’t treat direction as a personal showcase, his work is far from neutral. It is defined by a set of technical and structural preferences that shape the way scenes unfold. It’s a style that doesn’t draw attention to itself, but that leaves a mark through how strong everything feels. He stands out for his versatility. Whether it’s suspenseful, dramatic, or realistic, he knows how to shape the visual language accordingly. He lets the manga or the original anime script lead the way. He adjusts his style to serve the story. What sets him apart is his careful craftsmanship. He ensures that character drawings remain clean and consistent, prioritizing subtle character acting animation over loose or exaggerated animation most of the time. He often incorporates technically demanding sequences like background animation, character acting animation, he loves playing with layers. He always manages to keep scenes dynamic, even when the script doesn’t call for it. Dialogues rarely feels static, he finds ways to make it visually engaging. Compared to other directors known for dynamic or exaggerated animation, his work feels more controlled and deliberate. It's likely one of the reasons why, despite joining the production a bit later (compared to 佐藤真人 Masato Sato or 越智浩仁 Hirohito Ochi) he was eventually chosen as Series Director after こだま兼嗣 Kenji Kodama.
His framing palette is flexible, but his choices lean more toward technical than stylistic experimentation.

During key moments, he often uses highly stylized background art : irregular textures, brush strokes, ink washes, even erosion patterns.

Yamamoto first worked on the notable Episode 34 of Detective Conan (Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case Pt 1 - Storyboard / Episode Director : Yasuichiro Yamamoto), an important episode alongside Masato Sato, who handled Episode 35. Even then, his ambition stood out, not as a drastic shift in style, but as a clear intent to push the visual direction further. However, it’s in Episode 40 that his full capability as a director truly comes through.
Episode 40 (Wealthy Daughter Murder Case Pt 2 - Script / Storyboard / Episode Director : Yasuichiro Yamamoto) shows a tightly controlled use of a specific and precise color palette, shifting gradually from black to purple, then deep red and burnt orange, a palette that closes in on the viewer, building a quiet tension and a sense of confinement. The scene uses candlelight as the only light source, and the lighting is handled with impressive accuracy. The glow spreads softly, fading into darkness, and the tiles shift toward orange while the rest stay in shadow. You can spot small linear reflections on the wall, placed in the opposite direction of the candle. The water reflects the light, and even the mirror on the right catches a bit of it. Behind the characters, total darkness takes over because there’s no electricity. Every glow, reflection, and shadow is carefully anticipated and placed with intent. It adds a sense of realism and shows how much planning and effort went into the backgrounds. Yamamoto often works with scenes that feel static in the manga. Gosho’s chapters rely heavily on dialogue and minimal movement, but on screen, Yamamoto finds ways to bring them to life. He reimagines spaces, adds depth and atmosphere. The bathroom scene lit only by candlelight is a perfect example : what was a simple conversation on the page becomes something rich and immersive in the anime.

A comparison with the manga :

Episode 68 (Night Baron Murder Case Pt 1 - Storyboard : Masato Sato / Episode Director : Yasuichiro Yamamoto) which I consider one of the best directed episodes in the entire series, is a collaboration between two major names : Masato Sato and Yamamoto himself. And it doesn’t take long to see why it stands out. While the storyboard is by Sato, the episode clearly shows how much direction can influence the final result. From start to finish, it’s dynamic, ambitious, and fully committed to its tone. Every scene feels thoughtfully shaped, and the entire episode holds together with an impressive level of quality and consistency.

Episode 74 (The Death God Jinnai Murder Case - Storyboard / Episode Director : Yasuichiro Yamamoto) is an anime original episode, and it opens with a scene inside a movie theater, where the characters are watching a movie on screen. The way this 'movie' on screen is handled reveals everything about the director’s approach : it’s far from minimal, and instead treated with full of cinematic weight : rich lighting, sharp shadows, polished art direction, framing, focus, detailled drawings, and even original character designs just for this small scene. Everything is polished to the level of a standalone cliché like horror movie. Technically, this level of care wasn’t needed, the scene could’ve been played straight and nobody would’ve questioned it. This is what sets the director apart. He doesn't just deliver what's required, he goes further. Eveything is given full treatment and it’s a clear example of his ambition and versatility, always pushing to elevate, no matter how small it may seem.

Like the two other directors who each worked closely with a specific Animation Director (Sato with 河村明夫 Akio Kawamura and Ochi with 大河原晴男 Haruo Ogawara), Yamamoto mainly worked with 佐々木恵子 Keiko Sasaki. Sasaki’s corrections are highly meticulous and consistent, closely aligned with the official character design sheets by 須藤昌朋 Masatomo Sudo. Her work doesn't aim to stand out stylistically, and that’s what defines it. It’s restrained, balanced, and technically faithful. In a way, her drawings feels 'neutral', not in a negative sense, but in how structurally correct it is. Over time and under the director’s guidance, Sasaki’s drawings gradually took on a more realistic tone. Without losing their adherence to the model sheets, they became more refined, less stylized, and more sync with the director’s serious and calculated tone. This partnership contributed to giving certain episodes a sharper visual identity, one that felt closer to realism, both in the drawings and the mood.

There’s often a clear duality within the episodes he storyboard/directs, especially in how he uses color and tone to shape the atmosphere of each scenes. Each sections gets its own distinct mood, whether it’s bright and energetic or tense and heavy :
#82 (The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case Pt2 - Storyboard / Episode Director : Yasuichiro Yamamoto)
#128 (The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case - Storyboard : Yasuichiro Yamamoto / Episode Director : Minoru Tozawa)

Episode 489 (Courtroom Confrontation III: Prosecutor as Eyewitness - Storyboard / Episode Director : Yasuichiro Yamamoto) stands out as, arguably, the director’s best work for me, and interestingly, it comes after the traditional animation era and under Masato Sato as the Series Director. While much of his reputation is built on his work from that earlier period, this episode proves that his strengths carried over into the digital age with just as much force. Here, the direction takes a turn toward something colder, more grounded, reminiscent of Japanese live-action police procedurals or courtroom dramas. The color palette is subdued, desaturated, and leans into steely greys, muted blues, washed-out greens, far from the warmer, saturated tones often used in Detective Conan. The episode is aiming to be taken more seriously than usual. The framing, photography and color palette support this tone completely. Wide shots of modern buildings, institutional interiors, and overcast skies give the episode a sense of distance, isolation, and heavy realism. There’s a kind of emotional stillness in the way scenes are framed, everything feels quiet, held back, deliberate, things we never hear about, that often take place in the middle of the night. It’s a very different tone from the usual, a bit more theatrical, more adult, and that’s exactly what makes it special. It may be a personal preference, but for me, this is his most refined and complete episode. A key factor in this episode is the presence of 宍戸久美子 Kumiko Shishido as Chef Animation Director. Her clean, grounded drawing style brings even more weight and realism to the characters. Paired with the director’s precise and minimalist tone, her corrections elevates the episode’s atmosphere in a way that feels completely different from the rest of the series.

As Detective Conan anime production became increasingly complex over the years, with tighter schedules and a much heavier workload, Yamamoto managed to adapt the Kyoto Arc with remarkable control. Despite many limitations, he brought a clear vision and kept the pacing dynamic, using smart animation techniques to compensate where needed. It’s another reminder that in animation, pure creativity alone isn’t enough, you need the full package to pull something like this off. Episodes 926 and 927 combined make up 90 minutes, essentially the length of a Conan movie. I explain it in more detail in this thread : here.
Episode 927 (The Scarlet School Trip Pt 2 - Script / Storyboard / Episode Director : Yasuichiro Yamamoto) Close-up shots to build a sense of intimacy and physical presence, focusing on hands, movement, and subtle gestures. Something that wasn’t fully developed in the chapters due to pacing constraints. It feels like the director is filling in what Gosho didn’t have time to expand.

He worked on almost everything : the Conan TV series, the movies, openings and endings (including the iconic Ending 10), OVAs (like the first Conan × Kaito × Yaiba special, which is an impressive piece of work - Storyboard / Episode Direction : Yasuichiro Yamamoto), Special Episodes (Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small - Script / Storyboard / Episode Direction : Yasuichiro Yamamoto) and even magazine covers. For example, the recent AnAn issue featuring Kaito and Shinichi while the final illustration was by Iwao Teraoka and Sudo, the original layout was done by Yamamoto.

This reminds me time I was mad bc fans were saying it was actually Amuro in disguise when Camel was showing off his driving skills in the case he 'dies'. He was literally introduced with these driving skills in class of red and black.
That theory was impossible bc Camel says "Akai-shan' when he's drowning. (Amuro wouldn't say that)
Camel being smart and showing off his detective skills on screen. This never happens when Wakita isn't there.
