Other projects included a magazine named after the two series, which reprinted old serials, a Game-of-Life version and. Conan & Kindaichi branded coffee. And while there is no manga, Satou and Aoyama did make a drawing of each other's characters in their own style (Conan and Hajime).Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-3255441467244549032016-12-09T13:22:48.963+01:002016-12-09T13:22:48.963+01:00Is there a joint Kindaichi and Conan manga project...Is there a joint Kindaichi and Conan manga project?

I guess the difference here is the degree of personification of the concept of "the culprit".<br /><br />And you can't make very cool action figures of just gloves.

Anxiety is still okay, but the crying Shadow usually just has me laughing.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-32881408245682088332016-12-08T13:19:19.905+01:002016-12-08T13:19:19.905+01:00This was a fun post and love both the live-action ...This was a fun post and love both the live-action Dark Shadow and its action figure! <br /><br />There is, sort of, a Western equivalent of the Dark Shadow: the Gloved Hands. Before the murderer's revelation, in such series as <i>Midsomer Murders</i>, you would sometimes see some of the murderous activity through the eyes of the killer. And the only thing you would see of the murderer were his/her gloved hands.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-47148163748091267792016-12-08T02:06:49.991+01:002016-12-08T02:06:49.991+01:00Thanks for the exposition on the 'dark shawod&...Thanks for the exposition on the 'dark shawod': I didn't know 'he' was first invented for use in manga for the Kindaichi series. :) Another typical use in the Kindaichi series occurs during the early stages of the showdown scene, to reflect the culprit's mounting anxiety in the face of Kindaichi's revelation prior to the uncovering of his or her identity.
