I've been a fan of the DN Angel anime for quite sometime now. I first saw it on YouTube but I wanted to own it, so I bought this set. Every episode is in a stunning resolution. The Japanese voice acting is phenomenal (I wouldn't recommend the English Dub).』
(Fun and cute what more do you need in an anime?) 『I have watched this show over and over. It's definitely not my favorite anime and it's no masterpiece but it's a lot of fun. The plot's interesting the characters are loveable. It's one of those shows you can watch over and over. The music is great you'll probably be listening to the soundtrack for a long time. Like me! If you're looking for light hearted fun I would highly recommend this.』
(Worth every penny!) 『This collection is great, it comes in english, and japanese audio (w/ english subs) it includes every episode, easy menu options, the cover art is great, including the ones in each of the 4 discs. The images are nice and clear, you can skip the intro and ending unlike most jap. imports that don't and have to fast forward, but it really is great and i recommend it for any DN Angel fan!』

(A Nice Light-Hearted Mix Of Lupin The Third And Romance) 『I thought this was very entertaining and heart-warming series and while it does have a somewhat darker story in the series for the most part it is very light-hearted. The main character Daisuke Niwa is starting the new school year and is romantically interested in a girl named Risa Harada who has a twin named Riku and Riku is actually interested in Daisuke herself. What you find out in the series also is that Daisuke's mother and grandfather train him at home to become not just a great thief but to try and release a family secret it seems that in Daisuke's family that the male members carry a supernatural winged powerful thief entity named Dark who when released takes control of the male family members body for awhile. Dark is not evil but is somewhat mischievous and headstrong also it seems that the only way Dark can be released is when the male who's body he is dormant in starts to feel an a emotional strong feeling(Usually the emotion love)and that enables him to awaken and take control of the body for awhile. The series has episodes of the police and a special task force trying to capture Dark when he does his publicized thefts(The thefts when there going to happen and what time are usually told to the police in secret by Daisuke's family to both annoy and alarm the police.) The series also has of course a romantic agenda to for Daisuke and a certain someone put in as well. The series animation is clear and sharp and the Japanese and English audio were very good as well the set is pricey but sometimes it does go on sale or if you want try checking out the local video stores this series is worth getting...』 『Adapted from the international best-selling manga series by Yukiru Sugisaki, D•N•Angel is a romatic adventure with a fantastic premise. High School hottie Risa has two suitors: shy Daisuke and the magical thief Dark. But the twist is that Daisuke and Dark share the same body, and it's Daisuke's love for Risa that allows Dark to take over! The only way to resolve thisromantic disaster is for Daisuke to win the heart of his true love-but since she's only got eyes for Dark, that's not happening anytime soon!』 『The broadcast seriesDNAngelplays like a junior version ofXcrossed withSaint Tail. Daisuke Niwa is polite, well-intentioned, and talented, but he's also physically clumsy and socially maladroit. He can't bring himself to confess his love to his pretty classmate, Risa Harada. On his 14th birthday, his weird mother and grandfather tell Daisuke that a family genetic quirk will now manifest itself, and he will transform into the supernatural thief, Dark Mousy. His grandfather's rabbit-like pet With turns into the dark, feathered wings that are de rigueur for this type of anime character. Despite the unfortunate name, Dark Mousy is what Daisuke would like to be: a tall, dashingbishonen(beautiful boy). Risa falls for Dark like a bento box of rocks, but as Dark, Daisuke accidentally kisses her twin sister, Riku, creating an adolescent romantic triangle.
Having created a situation and several characters, the filmmakers don't seem to know what to do them. Many of Daisuke's adventures as Dark have little or nothing to do with his career as a supernatural thief, and the tone of the episodes shifts erratically from mawkish to silly to melodramatic. Although Daisuke supposedly transforms into Dark, the alter ego sometimes appears as an independent entity. Hard-corebishonenfans may enjoy Dark's sultry charms, but most viewers will grow impatient with the unfocused stories and poorly defined characters inDNAngel.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (one of the best) 『suzuka is just one of those animes that sucks you in right from the begining. the story line is very interesting and it keeps you wanting more. so if u ever want so see how relationships get down i suggest u buy.』
(Love Is Not a Spectator Sport! (Sad But True)) 『If your anything like me then high school might stand out in your mind as those four awkward years when you realized you liked someone. Like "LIKE" liked someone. Unless your life was perfect at least one of these realizations probably led to heartbreak of one kind or another. This is where a majority of Suzuka's appeal was for me.
For the price you can get the entire series for (I believe I purchased it for just over twenty dollars), I would mark it as an excellent buy. Twenty six episodes are contained on four disks which have art(probably from the manga) on them and look quite pretty. The case is plastic and holds four dvds (two overlapping on each side of the inside of the box). Now onto the actual show!
Okay, so maybe that was a little vague. Truthfully this show contains elements of comedy as well as romance, but throughout the series the two are distinctly separated. This is to say, while those looking for a comedy fix might enjoy Suzuka thoroughly for all its awkward approaches by the main character, I found that the heart of the series lay well... in it's heart.
The main reason I found myself following this series was its tendency towards realism. Something not usually found in anime concerning love at first sight. Akitsuki Yamato is an incoming freshmen in high school in Tokyo who, while walking by the track one day, falls for a high jumper named Asahina Suzuka. Unlike many shows where the female lead visibly shows affection from the get go this series is paced so that you honestly can't tell whether all of Akitsuki's efforts to win the girl's heart will pay off until the very last episode. The characters develop at a steady pace and it never feels like the story is being rushed because of it.
While the music and backgrounds of Suzuka weren't awe-inspiring, they weren't bad either. Honestly I was more interested in the character's dialogue than the incidental music which would pop up whenever there was a chance for it to. The music was what you might expect from a romance series; long strings and heartfelt pianos with the commonplace wacky music for frantic scenes. This doesn't mean its bad, it just means that aside from the opening theme, you probably won't grow to remember.
Perhaps these things weren't that much of a downside considering that this series is primarily focused on the relationships (yes there are more than one!) of Akitsuki. I wouldn't really say this is a sports anime because even though the races are heart-pumping and necessary to the plot they only serve as a place for Akitsuki to dwell on his current girl troubles. Having watched this show through to it's 26th episode end, I must say that it left me wanting more. I wanted to further follow the characters I'd become emotionally invested in and see more, but I agree with the decision to end it where it did. It is really rare to find a show with such genuine emotion in it, and while it's not going to work as an alternative to a show like Love Hina which is more comedic, I think that it proves to be a much more memorable experience than its price leads you to believe. Overall i give it a 4.5 (marred only by the music and lack of many extra features) to show just how under-rated and under-talked about this series is. If it can get a cynical 20 year-old bastard like me to tear up then it receives my highest recommendation.

You can find other reviews that will tell you all you could want to know about the story and content. So in summation it is A good anime. Get Madlax it was produced by the same animation studio. If you are going to own a girls with gun anime series Noir and Madlax are worth having. If you want more comic content get the Dirty Pair or Dirty Pair flash.』
(Noir) 『One of the best anime series I own. This series is worth every penny I spent.』
(Eh) 『Noir isn't great, nor is it really that bad. It's just: Eh. I've tried to get into it, but it's just not pulling me in. I've watched 2 of the 7 disks and I've come to the conclusion that there's a lot better anime out there that I should watch before finishing this series.
The story isn't very compelling. The art isn't that great. There's no amazing movement that makes up for the so-so art in many anime series. The music is pretty good, and it certainly makes up for some the poor animation during the action sequences.
My suggestion is to not watch this unless you've seen all of the good anime series and you're bored and now working through the the second tier series.』
(A cut above most!) 『The story centers around two main characters, a professional assassin and a young girl who has lost her memory. She also happens to be a professional assassin. The young girl has sought out Mariel with hopes that she wil help her recover her lost memory as she seems to be intricately tied to her by certain events. The story leading up to the truth is what is told over the course of the series and it is action packed and mysterious every step of the way. Not only are the story and action scenes throughout the series captive, the music is also very fitting from a few choir led scenes and the prevailing techno type dance music played throughout the series. This series is worth every penny and every second you will invest in it andif you are fan of anime you owe it to yoursel fto see it.』
(The Man Within the Man, The Sin Within the Sin...) 『The Good Things *Good action scenes. Every episode contains at least one good fight scene. *Excellent animation quality; motions are mostly fluid and artwork is splendid. Settings are very detailed and distinctive. *The story is continuously intruiging. It may not make sense at first, but once the mystery is unravelled, it's interesting. Repeated viewings reveal more details, too. *Aside from the main story arc, there are also a number of good stand-alone episodes with good stories. *Characters are very well-developed. They have a large number of subtleties, backgrounds, and issues that make them very memorable. *Great emotional impact (although this could also be seen as sappy). *Bloodless action and implied sexuality makes the show edgy without being too graphic (rated 15+). *Excellent music.
The Bad Things *Slow pacing may be too tedious for some people. *Flashbacks are repeated throughout, and can be seen as annoying.
The Questionable Things *Some parts are really silly when you think about it (like Chloe's fascination with a fork, or the fact that Kirika stands in the line of fire and never gets hit, or the part where she gets shot in the head and lives without a scratch...). *Strange ending (still don't know why Mirielle didn't shoot Altena, but it all worked out in the end anyway).
It's a slow, emotional, character-driven European drama, but still has a lot of slick action. Once I got into it, it was very immersive and fascinating, and has become one of my absolute favorite anime shows. Highly reccomended to anybody who has the patience.
DVDs have good video and audio quality, and contain a number of interviews. Episode 21 has a hilarious easter egg (push up, down, left, and right on the remote during the second eye-catch to see an 8-minute sock puppet video!).』 『The Female Is The Deadlier Of The Species… A cryptic message. A mysterious organization. A girl with a missing past. These are triggers that launch professional hit woman Mireille Bouquet into the ultimate odyssey of death and vengeance. Joining forces with Yuumura Kirika, a young girl with deadly skills and a forgotten identity, Mireille finds herself thrust into a secret world where the only law is kill or be killed, and where your closest friend could turn out to be your worst enemy. Two female assassins embark on a journey through the ultimate darkness, in the acclaimed animation masterpiece NOIR! Available now for the first time in this complete collectors edition!』 『In Paris, professional assassin Mireille Bouquet meets emotionally shattered Kirika Yumura: neither woman can remember her past, but they're both extremely good at killing people. (Kirika doesn't even look--she just points the gun and fires and her victim falls.) The two women form a partnership as "Noir," but after a couple of murders for hire, they realize someone is trying to killthem. The mysteriousSoldatsseem to be everywhere, so it's kill or be killed. The only recurring characters inNoirare amnesiacs, who are essentially blank slates and therefore not very interesting. Director Kouichi Mashimo may set new record for repeating footage in an animated series--some shots crop up three times in a single episode, including portentous images whose significance is more apparent than real. The result feels like a watered-down combination ofGunsmith CatsandSerial Experiments Lain. This set contains the complete six volume series.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (A ninja anime that stands above others.) 『This has got to be one of the best ninja anime I've seen. If you like violence, story, and good artwork Basilisk is a great. The animation is pretty smooth, artwork as mentioned before very good. This is a mature title I will say that. Not for the kids. I recommend this one... a lot. Give it a try, and be ready for a deep, and thrilling ride.』
(It was good, short... but good.) 『I caught this Anime on the Funimation channel for those that don't know it's a 24/7 Anime Channel by Funimation that showcases some of their new releases and older works 24/7. Basilisk was one of the new shows that they had began airing. To start it off this series is extrememly short, and goes by quite quickly as some episodes are merely recaps. The artistic style and story of Basilisk is an interesting one. Years ago back in the mid 90's I watched a anime movie called "Ninja Scroll" I thought it was amazing at the time since I had never really seen anime before. Years later (12 to be exact) I forgot all about it. Somehow when I watched Basilisk I was captivated by it, but somewhere in the back of my head I kept thinking "I've seen something like this before."
Basilisk story is based around 2 clans of Ninja's that each have a signifigant amount of pride and hold on to the past way too much. Each of these clans have been at war with eachother for centuries. Finally a truce was made on the bounds of love, but once that love was broken bitter feelings between the clans reimerge. My best advice to anyone that watches Basilisk is don't pick a favorite character. Episode after episode these Ninja's fight eachother to the brutal death.
Now going back to what I was saying earlier, this anime had reminded me much of a previous one I saw called "Ninja Scroll". I actually had to find and rewatch Ninja Scroll to find out what was bugging my mind all this time. I was very suprised by my results after watching Ninja Scroll again. Basilisk almost word per word copies the fighting style and abilities of the Ninja's from Ninja Scroll. Although the plots are different there are many eliments where you can see had a heavy influence on Basilisk.
Eventhough it is understood that Ninja Scroll and Basalisk were made in the image of an even older Story called "Kouga Ninja Scrolls," I couldn't shake the fact that Basilisk stole the overall artistic style of Ninja Scroll. From the way the Ninjas fight right down to their attitudes, Basilisk really is a carbon copy. It's like lining two artist up together, and giving them asking them to paint a flower vase. One artist is going to paint the vase from his point of view using his style and his artistic eye, while the artist next to him, instead of using their own style, just looks at the other artist canvas and copies the painting that they created. Now that flower Vase could have been painted anysort of way by that second artist if they chose to use their own eyes and talents to create it, but since they copied off the artist next to them, the painting isn't their own, it's only a copy of what the first artist was seeing through his eyes. Basilisks is pretty much that second artist. It just isn't orignal and loses its credibility once you see where the ideas came from.
Even if both Anime's are based of an old story, there is no reason for them to have the same design style, character models, and artistic style. For me this is what took away from Basilisk, because in its own right it is a very nice Anime, the story is unique, it looks good, it's entertaining to watch, but I can't get passed the fact that it robs concepts from Ninja Scroll. overall I still recommend Basilisk again it's not a bad Anime, but if you've watched Ninja Scroll and are a die hard fan you may not be so in to it. For the record I give this Anime 5 stars as it is alone a great Anime, but its style reminds me too much about Ninja Scroll which is why it takes away from it.』
(Simply Awesome) 『My friend told me about this anime and it was simply amazing. It is definitely a must own.』
(Shuriken crossed lovers .) 『What a waste of good talents . You don't start a series with one of the best ninja fights since Ninja Scroll , then dump all of that for a Romeo and Juliet ninja tale . And if your making a mature anime , don't design your characters in shonen design .Unless you're Yoshiaki Kawajiri .
Two ninja clans fight one another to decide the next heir to the throne , just in time to ruin an engagement ceremony between them .What will Gennosuke ( Romeo ) and Oboro ( juliet ) do ? boo..hoo....
I would've respected the show if they at least made a mature character design as in Perfrct Blue for example . But those eyes , the hair ,it just doesn't add up to the seriousness tone of the show .
Nice pakaging though .

(The GREAT Of Basilisk Stories Ever) 『This DVD Box Set is one of the most beautiful Basilisk stories and this Basilisk stories most same Shinobi Heart Under Blade, its GREAT stories and the best Anime, best action and romance, that once of my favorites and I love it :)and enjoy the stories... 』 『Contains the entire Basilisk series…from the ill-fated start to finish.
Feudal Japan is set to bear witness to the bloody clash of titans as two fearsome ninja tribes are unleashed, one upon the other. For wretched within the Edo Castle loyalties have been severed into warring factions, as two sons struggle to inherit the title of Shogun. If this rupture goes unresolved, the Tokugawa kingdom will be torn apart. A solution must be found, one befitting a samurai family.
The Kouga and the Iga, two ninja clans with four hundred years of hostilities between them, meet at the request of Lord Ieyasu. There they learn that the peace forced upon them is to be broken by the whim of royalty, and that the outcome of this battle will determine the next Shogun. The passions of the past quickly reignite as two scrolls are sent out into the night.
Ill-fated is this event indeed, for lovers stand with hands entwined as travesty approaches on the wings of a hawk. Reared from birth as sworn enemies, Gennosuke and Oboro, each the heir of these rival clans, seek lasting peace between their peoples. But the terms have been set, and two lists seal their destinies. Two lists from which a name can only be crossed out in blood.
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Laughably horrible anime) 『Everyone in this anime is ridiculous. Anyone who gets even a pinprick acts like a blood bag. There is no plot. People get naked for no reason (it's not sexy). The fights are terrible. The women are useless. The men are idiots. Why, god, why.
I'm an anime fan, I know what I'm talking about. If you want a crazy anime that will blow your mind and make you amazed at what anime can be, watch "Paprika." I lol'd through every episode of this series. No wonder it was canceled so early on.
Did I mention the protagonist's name was Dark Schneider? Yeah, it is.
**SPOILER** One villain's evil plot is to capture anti-hero's lady, chain her to a wall in a pit, then fill the pit with foul green goo. You'd think, "Oh, that's gotta be poison or acid or something, she's definitely gonna die." But you'd be wrong. Said goo does nothing but eat away at her clothes. Once her clothes are gone (which takes the whole episode), the villain's plan is to pretend to molest her (THAT'LL show the main character!), which he doesn't end up doing. You see what I'm talking about? Unreal.』
(Okay the truth) 『The anime is not that great. I think the story plot was good and I loved the fact that Darsh did not kill his old friends. But what about the ending, it def left room for more series. What will happen to the city? What about all the characters? The nudity and sexual content is ridiculous and should have been left for something else.I would have liked to sat down and watched the movie with other people but with the sexual content I didn't want too. They would have thought I was a perv. I hate the fact that the girls were always scantily clad even the high priestess certainly the nudity was not needed.』
(SLIME LOVE!!) 『This slime is the highest! Yoko is kidnapped as a hostage by dark Schneider's old friend Ninja Mastar Gara. Although Gara kidnaps Yoko to a Ninja fort, and she is restrained in handcuffs and examined about the secret of Dark Shneider's seal, she does not speak a secret. Gara stops the interrogation to Yoko, instead it decided to apply her to torture. The torture tortures Yoko by the slime which dissolves only clothes, makes her nakedness,and is the torture which is going to insult her. Yoko is frightened of the slime and Gara is entreated for her that the torture is not applied to herself. However, Gara tortures Yoko by the slime, without forgiving. Yoko's clothes is dissolved by the slime and sexual pleasures is simultaneously inflicted to her by the slime. Because, the aphrodisiac specially made by the ninjas which is well effective to women is contained in the slime, Therefore, it leads not only the capability that dissolves clothes but women to orgasm. The slime uses the characteristic of the state of the gel, spreads to the everywhere of her body, and plays with her. Soon, Yoko reached orgasm repeatedly and has been made groggy by the slime. Since Yoko reached orgasm too much, much sweat came out from her body, and her hair is also moist with sweat. Gara and Ninjas catch a sight to which Yoko has sexual pleasure developed by the slime, and she reaches orgasm repeatedly by that cause, they feel an eroticism from her, so that they cannot think the girl of teens at all from her state, and since they can think only the woman who already ripened from her state therefore, they are excited further. It is sure of it having been right for Gara to have chuckled, when Ninjas excited state was seen, and to have kidnaped Yoko, and to have tortured by the slime. The slime also tortures Yoko's crotch simultaneously, and she cannot bear and closes both thighs. And,the slime also dissolves the last cloth simultaneously and Yoko also exposes stark naked before Gara and Ninjas at last. Yoko exposes the nakedness looked at by nobody and stimulate she orgasm experienced for the first time in front of many men, is shameful and cannot bear. Since Yoko is restrained in handcuffs in both arms, and cannot hide the body, but she is further deprived of the senses of the body by the slime and both thighs cannot be closed, either, exposing nakedness to them will be continued. Therefore, Yoko's being able to do it are only exposing nakedness to men, continuing reaching orgasm by the slime, and feeling it shameful, becoming sad and shedding tears. And the slime inflicts pleasure, without forgiving Yoko who can do no resistance, and leads it to orgasm. Though Yoko is groggy, it is desperate and is going to bear the sexual pleasure inflicted from the slime, It is because she will expose shortly the place which reaches orgasm in stark naked to men. However, Yoko who is a virgin should not be borne, she reacts to the too strong sexual pleasure of the slime, she pulls chains with both arms, she stands with the knees, opening both legs, she curves the back, she shakes her waist, and she reaches orgasm, screaming. Ninjas catch a sight in which Yoko reached orgasm in stark naked, they excite and are glad, they enjoyed her more eagerly than before, and Gara judges that the sexual pleasure is the climax from the state of hers, and releases her from handcuffs. After Yoko was enjoyed until she was thoroughly exposed before men in her wonderful nakedness and the most shameful state and was satisfied in them, she was released at last. Simultaneously, Gara stops torture by the slime and Yoko makes it aghast for having been released from suddenly all. And Yoko is surprised that Gara also released her from handcuffs although he himself has not carried out the sexual mischief to her. However, Gara couldn't have the dirty thing to Yoko, because Dark Shneider came to her rescue then. Yoko could keep the virgin, thanks to Dark Shneider.
Episode 2 is best episode. Episode 3 can enjoy her stark naked more. 』
(MY OPINION ABOUT THE SHOW) 『The story goes more or less like this: Schneider is the strongest Magician who has been sealed inside the body of a young boy. In order to be awakened a woman or a girl that is 'pure' has to kiss the boy.
So why should somebody want to awaken this guy anyway? Well, the ones who had sealed him are facing a great threat and the only one who can stop this threat is Schneider himself. However, the situation is a little bit complicated than it may appear because:
a) The enemy is Schmeider's ex-generals who continue to fight and are trying to conquer the world (something that he also was trying to do) b) One of the generals is Schneider's ex(and new) girlfriend. Confused? Well, watch the show and you will understand and that:
At first, the hero, or should I say anti-hero, is this guy Dark Schneider, who although would prefer to kill everyone ends up in protecting them. Second, you have to give him credit for it, because I haven't seen any anime before (and trust me I have seen a bunch of them), where the hero when opening his mouth comes up with so much "stuff" that:
a) you cannot stop laughing,
b) has no intention in closing it,
c) his ego knows no limits but fortunately for him he is able to back up his words, I mean he is a 400 year old super magician, at least he should be good in one thing, while he proofs himself to be good in many things,
d )the only one that he respects is himself and his ultimate ego (seriously, he is able to come up with any possible excuse for his actions that is unbelievable amazing how someone can actually do it),
e)prefers before killing his enemy to come up with so much "stuff" that humiliate the enemy (consider this, Shishio in Kenshin during the final battles and how he treated his opponents, well the main deference is that Shishio, compared to Dark Schneider, 'behaves' more gentle with his opponents, I assume you get the picture)
f) although, he is not the most loyal guy around, when time comes he does the ultimate sacrifice for his, ex and new girlfriend, without hesitation but of course with the necessary blubbering
g)I have to admit, that the storyline may not be the best that is out there, but it is still a good one
h)For the price, it is definitely worth buying it and having 3 enjoyable hours, following the main character in his constantly "trespassing" of ...
i) Although he is supposed to be a bad guy, you will love him
j) I admit that the story finishes a little bit "fast" but it manages to put all the pieces together and leaves not much unanswered
k) the series are violent, include nudity, a lot of humour and sarcasm, a happy ending, and in the end you will want more of his lines
To conclude, yes I definitely recommend this show... Enjoy it... 』
(Army of Darkness is better!!!!!!!) 『I really didn't like this anime. It contains lots of stupid jokes, graphics not so good, so so fights and a ridiculous story. The only "good" things are the animation and blood and gore but they are not THAT good.
This is more like a fantasy comedy, if you like RPG games then maybe you will like this short serie but only if you can tolerate silly dialoges and "machismo".
In my opinion this anime is pretty much like Army of Darkness. Now that movie makes me laught!! I just think that anime don't fit with this silly "macho" stuffs, specially when the story is about fantasy. Anime is not THAT good with jokes so I preffer to watch the American movies if Im gonna laught with action.
Adios.』 『Dark Schneider is the Bastard!!! A lone warlock, freed from years of imprisonment, stands against an army of destruction bent on world conquest and the resurrection of an ancient evil.

Not yet released 『Varying the length of the mysteries from one to four episodes in the long-running (more than 500 episodes)Case Closedhelps to keep the series fresh during the fourth season by allowing the filmmakers to introduce more complex plots and multiple characters. But the overall feel is uneven: While many of the adventures are exciting and innovative, others don't pay off satisfactorily. The way the murder was committed in Episode #93 "Deadly Art" baffles even Conan: Who expects a hi-tech weapon at a flower show? When Richard breaks his leg in Episode #94 "Hospital Homicide" Conan has to handle a gang of bankrobbers-turned-kidnappers completely on his own. The oddest adventure of the season is the four-part "Jimmy Kudo Revealed." Rachel finally realizes that Conan has to be Jimmy: He knows more than any 8- year-old possibly could, but he displays the same gaps in his knowledge as Jimmy. A childhood photo confirms her suspicions: Conan looks exactly like Jimmy (except for the glasses, which he doesn't really need). Conan has his back against the wall when he's saved by the convenient appearance of his actress mother and crime novelist father. Although the quarrelsome pair helps solve an Agatha Christie-style mystery, they're weak, unsatisfying characters. At the end of the story, Rachel's suspicions about Conan just disappear--they're not resolved, but they're never mentioned again. The two most intriguing characters from Season #3 make only brief appearances: Harley Hartwell, the teen detective who recognized Jimmy's deductive powers in Conan, and Conan's nemesis, the magician/cat burglar Phantom Thief 1412 a.k.a. the Phantom Thief Kid.
