In this fiery episode of iCritic LIVE, we dive deep into the branding bombshell dropped by TMS Entertainment: the retirement of the Case Closed name in English-speaking markets in favor of the original Detective Conan. What does this shift mean for the franchise’s global identity, and why now, after two decades of Case Closed branding?
Host Kevin peels back the layers—from marketing strategy and localization politics to fandom culture and the enduring legacy of Shinichi Kudo. Expect hot takes, historical context, and a few conspiracy theories for good measure. Whether you're Team Conan or a diehard Case Closed loyalist, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
After all: One Truth Prevails!
