Meitantei Conan to Detective Conan?


Hey, IMDB just changed the title page for the series! And I mean "just" changed because just a few days ago it was still Meitantei Conan. Sneaky! I guess it makes sense but I like Meitantei.

Zuko: That's rough, buddy.

I noticed similar changes happened for several other Japanese movies around the same time,
but now they all seem to be changed back to their original names.

Yeah, I noticed it changed for other Japanese shows/movies as well -- which is weird because some of those shows are unknown in English so why the change, right? At least it's all normal again.

Hey, it happens again.
This time it seems like a change of IMDb's policy about the presentation of the titles of all foreign films.

But isn't this show better known as "Case Closed" in the USA?
("Detective Conan" is the English title used in the credits of the original Japanese version, though.)

Well, it's actually announced here:
