The sixth movie leads Conan, his friends and the viewer to London of the 19th century. Bribing with the much different story and setting it manages to fascinate the viewer and makes it the best Conan movie so far.
The pace is much different than in all the other movies so far, that is due to the background-story in which Conan and his friends get trapped in a new Virtual Reality game. The setting in the game is the London of the late 19th century and they've got to resolve the mass-killings at that time with the help of Sherlock Holmes, or they won't be able to return to the real life.
A lot of the characters in the series make their appearence in the game because Agasa and Yusaku Kudo, Shinichi's father, were responsible for it. That makes it an interesting and nice watch for the viewer. The whole movie is built up like a large chase and with the possibility to get game over, to die in the game, it gets a new element. The plot is well thought-out and combines the story of Sherlock Holmes with the serial murdering done by Jack The Ripper. There are a lot of twists during the movie and all of that make it an enjoyable watch for every Conan fan, or even for every crime/detective fan.
Due to the related story of Sherlock Holmes and some shocking events in the progress of the movie we also see a new side of Conan and he makes a lot of development, same appeals for Ran who seems to dislike Holmes and Shinichi's fandom for him but in the end makes a vital decision based on a Sherlock Holmes quote from the very first Conan episode.
The music completes the whole experience, the dark and grim background-music is fitting to the happening and the time and lets you feel like you really were in London of the 19th century. A lot of the music is played on a violine and there's even an opera piece used. The ending,Everlasting, is again byB'z and one of their best. It really is a worth end for this outstanding movie.
