Southeast Asian film distributor Odex announced on Wednesday that it will screen Meitantei Conan Episode "One" Chiisakunatta Meitantei (Detective Conan Episode "One": The Great Detective Who Shrank), the upcoming two-hour Detective Conan television anime special, at Singapore's Golden Village Cinema Plaza Singapore on Saturday, December 10.
The special will premiere on Friday, December 9 at 9:00 p.m. JST on YTV in Japan.
The two-hour special celebrates the anime's 20th anniversary, and will retell what happened on the day Shinichi's teenaged body was transformed into that of a child. The special will add new material that was not in Gōshō Aoyama's original manga or "Jet Coaster Satsujin Jiken" (Roller Coaster Murder Incident), the first episode of the television anime two decades ago. The story begins when Shinichi sets up a date with Ran at the Tropical Land amusement park, and continues with Shinichi's encounter with Gin and the others at the park.
Aoyama personally supervised all aspects of the special. Yasuichiro Yamamoto, Hiroshi Kashiwabara, Katsuo Ono, Masatomo Sudō, and Terumitsu Okada are all returning from the television anime as director/scriptwriter, scriptwriter, music composer, character designer, and editor, respectively.
