Detective Conan - The Raven Chaser's Teaser Streamed

13th film in manga-based anime franchise to open in Japan on April 18
The official website for the Detective Conan anime franchise's films has posted a teaser trailer for the 13th film, Meitantei Conan: Shikkoku no Chaser (Detective Conan: The Raven Chaser), on Saturday. Like the previous films and the ongoing television series, this film adapts Gosho Aoyama's popular shōnen manga about a brilliant detective trapped in a child's body. Detective Shinichi Kudo will once again face the elusive Kuro-zukume (Men in Black) for their "fated showdown." The film will open on April 18, 2009.
Viz Media is releasing the original manga in North America under the name Case Closed, and FUNimation Entertainment shipped DVDs for the television anime adaptation.
Thank you to Karen for the news tip.

Detective Conan Statues Damaged by Unknown Assailant

The Sports Nippon newspaper reports that the citizens of Japan's Hokuei discovered on the morning of May 10 that two of the town's bronze statues of Detective Conan had been damaged. The magnifying glass on one and the snorkel of another had been bent. The town in Tottori Prefecture had erected the 60-centimeter (two-feet) tall statues on both ends of its Conan Bridge in honor of its most famous son, Conan manga author Gosho Aoyama. There were seven unsolved cases of damage on the Conan statues in 2005. The town opened the nearby Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory museum on March 8.
