Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence

Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence (2011) is the fifteenth feature in the boy-detective anime, free to watch online on iFILM. A blast at the launch of a new Tokyo subway line nearly kills the city's governor.

Tracking down who would want the popular governor dead, Conan follows the trail to a snowed-in village beside a dam. Eight years ago something terrible happened here, and old schoolmates are tangled up in it. The deeper the shrunken detective digs, the clearer it gets that the people closest to him could end up in the line of fire. Heavy snow, a chase or two, and the trademark logical reveal all come with it.

Directors Yasuichiro Yamamoto and Kobun Shizuno keep the series' usual balance of locked-logic mystery and action. It works for longtime Conan fans and for anyone who likes a tidy whodunit built around one solid twist. Stream Detective Conan: Quarter of Silence (2011) online on iFILM.
