Another pleasant surprise! It's good to see that even with a movie that was the follow up to The Raven Chaser, this one turned out to be an enjoyable watch!
Detective Conan Movie 14: The Lost Ship in the Sky is one I wasn't really expecting much out of. I didn't go into it thinking it'd be bad, I just didn't think it'd be as great as it was.
Perhaps I'm a little twisted in saying this, but I love when the stakes are raised, especially in the movies. This is kind of like what I wanted The Private Eyes' Requiem to be in a way. It didn't have all of the "fluff" and parts that made that movie sort of uneventful.
I feel like the writing team did a very good job at keeping the story going and keeping it entertaining through out which I've noticed seems like something that can be a tad difficult with the other movies.
But really, a movie about a terrorist group that is threatening to unleash a deadly virus is a very interesting turn to take for these sort of movies.
I will admit, I do think the terrorist group was written a tad flat since they feel more like the background antagonists while other events are happening, but it's really a small nitpick as far as I'm concerned.
Kaito Kid was very delightful in this movie. I admit, it's heavily making me want to watch the Magic Kaito series (even though I'd like to hold off until I get caught up on Detective Conan admittedly).
And me, forever being a Ran fangirl loved her involvement. Yeah, it wasn't anything as cool as previous movies, but you know, her being the first to figure out who Kaito Kid was, well, I just really enjoyed that angle.
And I loved even more that people were under the assumption that Shinichi is Kid. That was perhaps my favorite and a sort of gag I would've actually loved to have happened in the series. I really didn't want that to be cleared up anytime right away, but the movies are supposed to be non canon, so oh well. It was a funny scenario and I'm just glad the idea was played with in this movie since it's been stated before that Kid and Shinichi look alike.
Also, while a small part, I did enjoy Heiji and Kazuha's involvement in the movie. Satoshi, the little boy that's with Kazuha, is a welcome addition in my opinion. I like him. Too bad this seems to be his only appearance apart from an OVA that was released to go over the events after the movie.
Anyway, on to the rankings!
1.) The Raven Chaser (13th Movie)
2.) The Fourteenth Target (2nd Movie)
3.) The Lost Ship in the Sky (14th Movie)
4.) The Time Bombed Skyscraper (1st Movie)
5.) Magician of the Silver Sky (8th Movie)
6.) Captured in Her Eyes (4th Movie)
7.) Crossroad in the Ancient Capital (7th Movie)
8.) The Phantom of Baker Street (6th Movie)
9.) Countdown to Heaven (5th Movie)
10.) Strategy Above the Depths (9th Movie)
11.) The Private Eyes' Requiem (10th Movie)
12.) Full Score of Fear (12th Movie)
13.) The Wizard of the Last Century (3rd Movie)
14.) Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure (11th Movie)
I really feel like this movie deserves a high spot for its pacing alone. It felt like I was watching a movie the whole time instead of some series' special episodes.
Liked the plot and I liked the resolution. Overall, I'm happy to sing this movie's praises. It did very well and was an enjoyable watch.

But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
Everything fades
Everything dies
Put me in a vase, but you can't
You can't stop time
It's not 1999
But this face is still mine
The way you look at me
I swear my heart hits rewind
But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you
Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you
If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you
Don't let 'em change your mind
Wonder why you took a risk
On a broken heart you cannot fix
No, I never knew a love like this
Now we're picking purple irises
Against the desert sunset
Blazing with aches and regret
This glass of whiskey, yeah it tastes like the first time we met
Intoxicated with my sorrow
It's so pungent and stale
I'd rather be drunk on you than chasing this drink by myself
I'm here just for the moment
So pour me another
Meet me down, at the bottom of a bottle
Take me out, run away from our troubles
Let's get loud, we'll drown in our sorrows
So meet me down, at the bottom of a bottle
So much time we spent
That whiskey high
Singing songs about how we said goodbye
Take me away
Take me away from it all
I've been so low there's no ground left for me to put my feet on

I've decided to catch up on the detective conan movies.
1. Wasn't expecting one of them to be about a couple of lesbian pirates, much less have Ran and Sonoko mirror them. Not complaining tho
2. TAKAGI IS STILL DARK-SKINNED IN THE MOVIES?? WHY IS HE SO PALE IN THE ANIME
