Synopsis:

Shinichi Kudo is a famous teenage detective who follows in the footsteps of his favorite hero, Sherlock Holmes, solving difficult cases with ease. One day, while investigating suspicious activity during one of his cases, he was captured and forced to try a deadly experimental drug which ended up being less than fatal, shrinking his body to the age of seven. To cope with the new appearance, he took on a new name, Conan Edogawa. Can he, with his new alias and help of friends and family, capture the culprit?

Do you like kid detectives? Detective Conan (aka Case Closed) and Spiral both feature kids out there....being detectives. Except that Detective Conan is a classic, which is clearly shown by the fact that its still going after 350 epsisodes, while Spiral 'stopped' at 26 episodes (and I say stopped because, I'm sad to say, this series has NO ENDING). If you actually like the mystery to be solved by the detective in the end, then don't bother watching Spiral, which never bothers to tell the viewer the main question that the kids utter to themselves throughout the whole show.
Harbin

In both series, the main character uses logic to solve different cases presented to them. Both stories have the main character diving into different situation to get closer to the truth. If you are someone who likes to figure out cases, Spiral is for you because logic and noticing small clues is everything in both shows.

Himitsu

I'm recommending Spiral if you liked Detective Conan for obvious reasons: they both involve an engaging mystery and detective story! If you love the brilliant deductions that Conan makes, you'll definitely like Ayumu's spotlight in the anime Spiral. Spiral has very attractive characters and the grand premise is resurfaced throughout the anime.

Spiral and Detective Conan are about crime, mystery, and great detectives. If you like good detective stories then these are the shows for you.

Both Detective Conan and Detective Academy Q are about young characters solving murder case. They also both allow the viewer to try to solve the cases by himself.

<p>Both are mind-puzzling shows and they resemble each other though one has darker atmosphere. </p><br><br>

<p>Conan investigates crimes; he searches the truth behind those mysteries. Naru and the rest of the SPR investigates the supernatural; they go to places and solve the mysteries behind the unbelievable. </p><br><br>

<p>Murderers and criminals are caught in Detective Conan, whereas ghosts and demons are discovered and freed in Ghost Hunt.</p><br><br>

<p>Both are wonderful shows.</p>

Nozomi

If you liked Case Closed or Ghost Hunt, you'd also like the other one, because both are mainly about detective work: in Case Closed it's traditional detective work like solving a murder whereas Ghost Hunt is about cases caused by ghosts and other supernatural things.

Both have some kind of comedy in it, but the story mainly focuses on the cases which are solved. Both animes also have a small amount of dramatic/tragic elements in it.

Another similarity is that the team of investigators is mostly not personally involved in the cases (e.g. no one of the team will ever be killed or something).

Ghost Hunt has a somehow darker and creepier atmosphere than Case Closed, but anyway both animes are quite exciting and fun to watch and you can follow the train of thought of the investigators and try to solve the case yourself.

chii

Solving mysteries is what both these anime do best. Ghost hunt focuses on the supernatural ghost chasing where conan focuses on catching the bad guy in crime. Both anime have a wide rage of interesting and unique characters that are sure to entertain. Check one out if you liked the other.

Both Lupin and Detective Conan do a lot of problem solving. They are pretty much like an anime version of Law and Order, except better! =]

cassiesheepgirl

Both of these series are centred around the world of crime, and while they approach from opposite sides, if you like the crime genre then both of these are for you. Both series also have a good mix of comedy, action and intrigue and often include a nice little twist at the end of each case. Also, both Lupin III and Detective Conan are relatively episodic (though Conan has more ongoing plot) so if you liked that about one, you are likely to enjoy that about the other.

For anybody tired of waiting for Adult Swim to air new episodes of Detective Conan, check out Ayatsuri Sakon, which hits many of the same notes. Intricately planned and executed crimes take center stage with a variety of suspects for each. Morevoer, multiple episode stories are the norm rather than the exception here, allowing the intrigue to build even more.
Zlant

Detective Conan and Ayatsuri Sakon are both whodunnit that focus on a character that investigate over a murder case. Sakon's case are usually more complex and aren't episodic like most of Conan's but they are both enjoyable by anyone who like these detective Anime.
