    This is the scariest thing in animation. hide show

    Where I live this show only shows in the dark of the night and that is a horrible time to watch this episode. The creepy piano playing plus the mystery which is this show is a great combination, if you're into that sort of thing. It's an exceptional episode, one of the best the show has to offer but for a girl who scares easy I can't watch it too often and I don't want. It's been over a year since I've seen this one but I can still envision the scenes of the moonlight sonata. That's why this is a series classic.

    One of the best in the entire series. [Spoiler Alert] hide show

    [Spoiler Alert]

    This episode was...just wow. The plot was interesting and kept you on your toes, and the murderer was the very last person you'd expect.

    It was really sad as well, and it was so sweet at the end...when the son died in flames just like his father...

    ...playing the Moonlight Sonata.

Allusions

  • Conan: "Strong enough for a man, but dressed up like a woman"
    In the original, Conan's "dressed up like a woman" quote was in reality a kanji mistranslation. In Japan, some kanji can be read more than one way for different names,which gave Conan the clue. One person's name was made up of kanji read different ways,which was the name of the disguiser's female relative. []
