Missed posting yesterday, but I did do my listening/watching both days:
1月26日 - Watched 名探偵コナン eps 253 and 254, plus the new episode from this weekend, 1151. For anyone watching new episodes of コナン, any thoughts on Amuro’s new voice actor? I’m sure I’ll get used to him soon enough, but for now I’m not sure how I feel about the change…
1月27日 - Had a very busy Monday, thanks to work, so only watched ep 255. Definitely a hard episode, largely because of all the cultural references in this one, so at best 50% understood, probably less. It was part one of a case where Conan and co visited and described of a bunch of real world locations. Plus there was poetry. So lots of things went way over my head. Part two is likely to be just as hard tomorrow…
Detective Conan discussion continued
Well, I haven’t looked recently, since I’ve long since committed to purchasing the dvds at this point (and I do prefer to own dvds over streaming, just to make sure I don’t risk losing access to a favorite at the whim of the service!). But back when I started collecting, the first 123 eps and first 6 movies were available via Funimation, and Crunchyroll had eps 754+, and that was basically it. To watch those 600+ eps in between, or the other movies, it was either fansubs or import the dvds, which of course did not have English. That’s how it was in the US, anyway, though I couldn’t say if there was more access in other countries.
I do know that Amazon Prime Japan currently has the series on streaming, but I’m…hesitant about trying to use a VPN in order to access that. And US Amazon Prime only has the same eps that are available on Crunchyroll, I believe, plus several of the more recent movies. I suppose it’s possible there might be somewhere else that streams more eps in the US now, but if so, I’m not aware of it…
Definitely! Great characters (and if you’re only just finished with ep 70, you have some awesome ones to look forward to - my favorite character doesn’t even get introduced until you get into the 200s); great stories; music; as you say, everything! 
Trying to avoid specific spoilers here, but yeah, things definitely evolve over the course of the show - new characters, new info (and new questions/mysteries!) concerning the Black Organization, character relationships that evolve over time, etc. There are tons (literally!) of stand-alone episodic cases, but you also get certain episodes/sets of episodes that involve developing the overarching plot and relationship threads - it’s always exciting when those moments pop up!
I’m actually doing this too! I never got around to reading the manga in English, but I’m getting good enough at reading now (thanks Wanikani! ) to be able to read it in Japanese. I’m in the middle of Volume 19 right now, and thanks to Bookwalker’s periodic 50% coinback sales, I’ve collected quite a few more beyond that. 
I don’t have enough space to get large amounts of physical manga, so all of mine are digital.
Ooh, have fun! I will eventually visit Japan, but it’s probably not going to be for a while. When I go, I would want it to be for a nice long several week trip at least, which is hard to do while working full-time…
