Detective Conan/DCMK characters in a Classroom of the Elite setting would be so interesting to watch/read.

I've only just finished the CoTE anime (Seasons 1-3) so i haven't read the manga or the light novel but the Advanced Nurturing Highschool or AHNS for short is so, so shady. If it and the White Room existed in the DCMK universe, I have no doubt in my mind that they would have some connection to the Black Organization.

So just imagine an AU where Shinichi caught Vodka doing an arms deal in middle school but didn't get caught by Gin like in canon. Imagine him trying to investigate them but coming up with nothing until he, Ran, and Sonoko are on a train ride for the first day at AHNS where he runs into Gin and Vodka, just like he did in canon episode 5.

He learns their codenames there and saves the people on the train from being bombed to hell. Unfortunately, this ends up making him, Ran and Sonoko late for their very first day. They're thankfully excused because the incident was out of their hands before being placed into their respective classes.

You can have adult characters like Jodie and Amuro be teachers and business owners while also acting as undercover agents.

Important student characters at the school:

Hattori Heiji (he can be in the same class as Shinichi where they are both antagonistic at first but later become allies and friends)

Toyama Kazuha (they were made for each, I will never seperate them)

Kuroba Kaito (who also happens to be Kaitou KID and regularly sneaks off school campus for heists. Jii Konosuke cases places for him and he contacts the man using a secret phone he smuggled in. He tends to downplay his academic and physical skill to be somewhat average so he's in Class C or B)

Nakamori Aoko

Akako Koizumi (no magic in this AU but she's interested in spirituality and shit like tarot cards and all)

Hakuba Saguru (suspects of Kaito of being KId and regularaly requests time off from school to go to the heists)

Eisuke Hondou (but only for a little while near the end of 1st year as a rival for Shinichi and love interest for Ran before going back to America to pursue the future he wanted)

Sera Masumi (would be introduced in 2nd Year when Shinichi starts investigating Bourbon as a potential subject because she somehow found out he has connection to the maker of the pill that shrunk her mother)

Important characters outside of school

Agasa Hiroshi (supplies Shinichi with spy tech)

Haibara Ai AKA Miyano Shiho (shrunken and lives with Agasa just like in canon, specifically sought Agasa out because he was a connection to Shinichi, who was involved in her sister's case and was a detective at that. They contact each other through secret phone. She also happens to be one of the failed subjects of the white room)

Miyano Akemi (During school break, Shinichi went back to Beika where he was then approached by Masami Hiroto and the rest goes like canon with her dying in his arms)

Akai Shuichi (still don't know what I'm gonna do with him but he's important)

Rena Mizunashi AKA Hidemi Hondou

Side Characters in school

Nakamichi (Shinichi's soccer friend)

Eisuke Aizawa (Shinichi's soccer friend)

Kazumi Tsukamoto (a third year in Ran's karate club)

Tashiro (Ran's friend)

Hidaka (Ran's friend)

Anyways, I imagine Shinichi being in a different class from Ran and Sonoko and just thinking about ShinRan competeing but also saving each other's asses from time to time is beautiful.

Having Kaito and Shinichi's respective Black Organization be one and the same would make it more interesting as well.

Anyways, I think these characters are fun to play around with in this setting, mixing the dramatic school life in CoTE with the looming threat of the Black Organization as Shinichi delves deeper and deeper into the case.

Idk how this would be resolved but it would be so, so fun to read if written well. Shinichi's gonna be so paranoid by the end of this lol.

Reina in the manga looks pretty good tbh

[incorrecthibikequotes]

shuichi: hi

kumiko: every time you talk, i hear that noise pac-man makes when he dies.

[incorrecteuphonium]

Reina: I see the glass as half empty, Kumiko sees it as half full; that's why we make a good team. Shuichi, on the other hand, drinks it right out of the bottle. Midori wonders why it has to be glass, and Hazuki usually breaks the glass by putting her feet up on the table.

[oshieteacapella]

I know most fans don’t like Shuichi and I understand he was left out of the plot and we all know Hibike! is super gay and yay for that. But hear me out: I feel so bad for him, not because of Kumiko being clueless about his feelings, but for how the fans treat him. One big issue for Kumiko is her relationship with her sister and the one who was able to reunite them was him. He ask her everytime about how she is feeling, and then he talked to her sister. You can dislike his crush for Kumiko, but you can’t deny he does play an important part trought the plot and her life. so yes, I have your back, Shuichi.

How hibike! Euphonium became one of my favourite anime's of all time

When I first finished hibike! Euphonium I used to always say that my favourite anime's were: haikyuu , assassination classroom , hibike and my hero academia (those are all number 1 btw not listed) And I didn't realize then how hibike actually changed me and my life And how my life wouldn't be the same if I hadn't watched it , it was the reason why I know a lot about band and why I got a bit into classical music , especially the trumpet It was the main reason of how I got introduced to amazing people and such an amazing and hilarious group (trumpet squad) It inspired me to draw a lot more and get better at it from drawing my favourite characters of all time countless times (I swear I can draw kumiko and natsuki without references now that's how many times I drew them) As much as both haikyuu and hibike changed my life I don't think I'll ever replace them due to how much they changed me and my life and how they both introduced me into a lot of new stuff that I never cared about but now about a lot I'd like to thank ayano takeda and kyoani for this amazing anime that means so much to me

[cosmic-latte-1485]

A movie about them will be released. A movie about Shuuichi and Kumiko will be released. Fudge I'm so happy 😭

Remember that time when I'm sulking about the ship that never made it canon on the main anime, this is it.

I really ship them right from the start. I don't have anything against yuri, in fact I sometimes really like it. But then I remember someone said:

"The childhood friend route is terrifying sometimes. It's so cliche but it's forcing me to ship it."

I was sad when the main anime showed too little interaction of them since I read somewhere that in the light novel(?) this ship is canon. But then we got this, I'm so so happy 😭

  Additional Info

  Creator Shinobu Ohtaka shared the following comment back in August along with a celebratory illustration: 

  "The staff of the Orient anime are hard at work making the best anime they possibly can. As an author, I can’t wait to see new life breathed into my characters, and see how they move when animated." 

    Director Tetsuya Yanagizawa commented, as well: 

  “I’ve been reading shonen manga since I was a kid. I’ve learned a lot from manga. I love strong characters, and the way they stay true to what they believe and fight through any trial has given me courage many times. I like weak heroes too. When somebody falls and then gets back up again, they always grow as a person. Sometimes fighting with your friends, or laughing with them... I like all those kinds of manga. And Orient has all of that. I’ve always wanted to make a show like this."

  As did series composition writer Mariko Kunisawa: 

  “The world of Orient is the society we live in. The more I read it, the more I realize that.” I want to share the things that make this manga great with as many people as possible, and both the director and I are working are hardest at it.”

Chapter 10: Masquerain

“Masquerain, the Eyeball Pokémon. Masquerain intimidates enemies with the eyelike patterns of its eyespots. If that doesn't work, it deftly makes its escape on its set of four wings.” – Pokédex entry for Masquerain.

“If I ever meet that Tsukamoto again, I’ll be sure to give him a good thrashing for causing your fear of Bug-types.” Reina boldly remarked, surprising Kumiko at how upfront she was with her statement. “Sending a young girl alone into a deep, dark forest? That’s asking for nothing but trouble.”

“Reina, we were kids back then.” Kumiko tried to defend Shuichi’s actions back then, but she found that any excuses she had were quite flimsy. “Besides, how would he know that there were so many Masquerain in the forest there?”

“I don’t care. He needs to pay for making you suffer.” A slightly sinister tone wormed its way into Reina’s voice. “Every time I see him, that Tsukamoto has caused nothing but trouble for the two of us. For everything he’s done and will do, the only way he can repent is to stop existing completely.”

“Reina, aren’t you taking this a little too far…?” Not having the heart to tell Reina to stop plotting vengeance over something as simple as being scared by Bug-type Pokémon, Kumiko just let her girlfriend be. After all, no matter how much she convinced herself she conquered her fears, Kumiko still found Masquerain intimidating to this day thanks to what Shuichi did.
