Nope

It's not the most interesting episode. I didn't care about the characters. All in all, I think you don't really need to watch this episode.

I don't know what to think about this episode. I actually like the girl group cases, because I think it's something different. However, this episode isn't the most interesting and the plot is rather bad.

The teacher acts weird, so Conan follows him and sees that he's discussing with another man

There's a blackout during the training session. The teacher leaves the room to fix the fuse

It also looks like the culprit stole the money that was in the victim's safe and that the culprit has moved the corpse after killing the man

Important plot development:

Minor Ran x Shinichi relationship progress

Rating:

4/10 karate teachers

Hmm... it's a nice setting, but the case isn't really catching my interest. It's decent at best. I like that Takagi had to play the victim and demonstrate the trick again.

This is a very nice two-parter with funny moments and an interesting case. I really like Chiyaha in this. She had some very good lines. I felt well-entertained, so watch it.

Rating:

4/10 hostages

The plot is actually quite interesting. I think it could be something we haven't seen in a filler yet. But it's also a bit boring. Overall, it's a watchable episode.

Nothing

Rating:

8/10 burned restaurants

I like that we get to see Yuminaga in this episode. I like the mix of characters they recently use in the filler episodes and it's been a while since we've seen him last. The episode itself is quite good. There are funny, but also tragic moments, especially at the end. And you have a chance to find out who's the culprit.

There are some very good and very interesting episodes, but also many filler episodes included in this box. I still think it's worth watching, because in my opinion you can still have a lot of fun with it, but it's really not the best selection because of so many (bad) fillers.

Episode 1111-1112: Rube Goldberg Machine

Anime original

Plot in five keywords:

A weird mechanism leads to a dead person

Conan, Ran and Kogoro walk by the crime scene after solving another case

Conan realizes that it must have been murder, not an accident, but everybody (except his wife) has an alibi

The wife says, she knows who's killed him after they find out that it must have started with the rube goldberg machine

More and more suspects appear, but the main suspect is missing. And then, another corpse is found

Important plot development:

Shinichi is kinda involved in this case and Ran almost finds out about it

Rating:

9/10 rube goldberg machines

The plot is actually quite interesting. Also, a filler with Yamamura. I think that's pretty cool. You can learn something in this episode, but there are also many funny moments and for some reason, some moments remind me of the Conan movies (I don't know why...). All in all, I think that's a pretty good filler, but some parts are a bit confusing, because of all the different characters. This could easily be a canon episode. The case is really good in my opinion. Btw, nice plot twist at the end.

Hmm, the plot development in this volume is very interesting, but I don't really know where the cliffhanger at the end is going in the next volume. I'm not quite sure if it's one of my favourite volumes. It's still very enjoyable to read. There are cute moments between Yaiba and Sayaka and I think we've got some character development of Yaiba.

Rating:

6/10 bats

It's a very funny episode, but the plot is a bit weird. I love the introduction scene of Bat-guy, he's really hilarious. The end of the episode was pretty interesting as well.

This episode really isn't the most interesting one in my opinion. It's rather boring and the village plot feels a bit like a filler. The Slug-man plot isn't much better as well...
