Pros
- It has a 'Lupinesq' feel to it

- To be honest, I can't think of one at the moment.
Description
- The story moves really quickly in this one so you never get that "bogged-down" feeling.

Guide Review - Case Closed: The Secret Life of Jimmy Kudo
Case Closed is the American version of the highly acclaimed "Detective Conan" from Japan. Jimmy Kudo, a suave and brilliant teenager, is crime's worst enemy. But when he falls victim to an experimental drug, he is transformed into a small kid. Bye, bye detective business, right? Wrong. Kudo takes on the persona of Conan Edogawa, named after Sir Conan Doyle, the creator of his favorite crime fighter of all-time: Sherlock Holmes. Using his ingenuity and some pretty nifty James Bond type tools, he manages to figure out what the grown detectives can't. Case Closed: The Secret of Jimmy Kudo contains four episodes. You can also catch Conan in action on Cartoon Network at 1am EST, Monday through Thursday.
