Due to busy schedule, I was not able to watch any of Eiga
Sai in Shangrila. I just decided to choose other Japanese movie/anime instead. It
was Last Sunday, 22nd of July when my sister and I went to SM MOA,
Cineplex to watch Detective Conan, also known as ‘Case Closed’ in the West.
This free movie is sponsored by Japan Foundation Manila in accordance with
their month-long celebration.
We
arrived 10 minutes after one in the afternoon (gogo ichiji juuppon). When we
got to the movie house, the show has already started and all seats were almost
taken. Fortunately, my sister’s friend reserved seats for us.

Among
the previous Conan episodes I watched before, I can say that the most
promising, exciting, romantic, fun and enjoyable movie of my childhood crush-
Shinichi Kudo. This movie is entitled ‘The lost ship in the sky.’ Ran,
Sonako, Professor Agasa, Detective Kugoro, Conan and the rest of the detective
kids were invited to try the first flight of a leisure Japanese airship. This
aircraft is a wide-bodied plane which looks like a gigantic horizontal balloon.
Inside this, there you can sleep, dine, enjoy, and stay as if you are in a five
star hotel.
But
before they can enjoy the privilege of having a test flight, they have received
rumors that Phantom thief will come to steal the precious stone of the airship
- Lady Sky. Not only that. They had been warned that a deadly disease was
spreading in the airship as a terrorist group named Red Siamese Cat was coming for
revenge.
Later
then, they had found out a glass vial with a logo of Red Siamese Cat in the
smoking area of the said ship. Few minutes later, several people got infected
and had some red rashes on the infected area. An unknown caller phoned to
threaten them. Not too long after that, a helicopter came to hijack the whole
ship with the aid of inside job. Everyone was taken as hostages except for
Conan and the rest of detective kids because they were somewhere exploring the
prohibited areas of the ship. Amazingly, Conan was able to detonate the bombs.
He was fully equipped with skills, unmatched intelligence and high-tech
gadgets. His manly traits made me fall in love with him again haha. コナン君だいすきです！
What
made the scenes more exciting is that, Phantom Thief came into the scenario.
Phantom Kid was one of those people who already knew Conan’s secret. He had to
help Conan and the rest of the passengers by pretending that he is the real
Shinichi Kudo. Of course, Ran believed him and she was desperately eager to
talk to him. On the other side, Conan (the real Shinichi who turned into a Kid)
felt jealous of him. His cheeks turn to red when Ai and Phantom Thief talk
about Ran. Surely, he won’t let Ran fell in love with the impostor so he
reminded Phantom Thief to tell the truth. It’s just that Phantom Thief and
Conan had to work hand in hand together. They are both driven by their own
purposes – Conan had to save lives and Phantom Thief had to steal the Lady Sky.
In the end, the ship and the passengers were saved. The terrorists were
arrested. Unfortunately, the Lady Sky was stolen and Phantom Thief was able to
escape.
In
general, I was greatly satisfied of what I have watched. Gosho Aoyama is really
the best anime author for me! His work was really amazing! The sounds used
filled the atmosphere with so much emotion that I can hear the reactions of
spectators. I felt that I was in a large crowd, enjoying what we were watching.
The action scenes were very detailed and were very exciting. Its story has a lot of twists and is suitable
for my preference – a mixture of mystery novel, action, humor, friendship,
fiction and love story. I wish to watch more movies like this especially in a
Filipino version.
