Detective Conan- Anticlimax: The Ending That Should NEVER Be

Well, I’m probably diving head-first into producing which I really shouldn’t be doing, but I had this idea and it wouldn’t go away, so here it is.

Basically a girl I’ve been friends with for like my entire life is about to reach her fifth anniversary of writing fanfiction, and since she loves it so much and has a lot of fans I thought I should do something special for her. Then I realized I now had access to tons of talented voice actors ^^.

I chose one of my personal favorite stories of hers and turned it into a radioplay. It has parts for 9 males, 6 females, 2 unspecified, and several babbling fangirls. I will hopefully have it done in time for her anniversary (May 30th, so for a first timer I can hopefully pull it off) and will post it for her as a surprise and also here since it’s nice to hear how your own production came out. About the only nice benefits I can offer is that you’ll make my friend very very happy and most of the Conan fanfiction base will probably hear this once it’s done.

The title of the story basically explains everything. This is exactly the ending that no one would ever want to see on Detective Conan, but it’s just so darn funny you have to love it. There are lots of in series jokes, much weirdness, a good hunk of random, and overall crack. A few characters have to swear (Kaito, Conan, and Ran if I remember correctly), so be ready for that if you’re auditioning.



Character Descriptions:

MAJOR ROLES: (each have over 20 lines at the moment)

NARRATOR (Shika Megumi, u/s huntress)
(Female, Mature Teen/Young Adult, medium-low)

The Narrator is basically playing the part of my friend, the original author of this. There are some portions of the narration that I just couldn’t work into the dialogue but I felt the need to leave in, so that is basically her purpose.

She is enjoying writing this story and knows how incredibly messed up and funny it is. She has a lot of long speeches, so be ready.


KAITO KUROBA/KAITOU KID (Shawn Gage, u/s ShintarouInuzuka)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/kaito.jpg
(Male, Teen, high-medium)

Kaito is a brilliant magician who leads a double life as a Phantom Thief (called a Kaitou in Japanese. And yes, they are pronounced the same) trying to find a jewel called the Pandora Gem. His father was the original thief and earned the nickname of “Kid”, but he was murdered by a mysterious organization for looking for the same jewel. Kaito’s goal is to find the jewel and avenge his father’s death. However, he has a bit of a problem since, as a famous thief, the police are always on his tail. He is especially trouble by Inspector Nakamori, who chased Kid in his father’s day and is also the father of his life long probably will be his girlfriend someday Aoko.


CONAN EDOGAWA (KitsuneSqueak, u/s deuceloosely)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/conan.png
(Male, Child, High) *Note: Conan is usually voiced by a female*

Seven year old Conan is not all he appears to be. He is actually seventeen year old detective Shinichi Kudo, who was shrunk into a child’s form by a strange poison given to him when he was caught spying on an illegal trade conducted by the so called “Black Organization”. Conan is now living undercover in the house of his lifelong crush, Ran Mouri, whose father is an out of work detective. However, with the help of a few inventions from Dr. Agasa, he can still solve murders under Kogoro’s guise, making the usually bumbling man famous, hoping that through him he can catch some leads on the people who did this to him. Only three other people know his secret right now, and Ran has come very close several times.

In the course of this incredibly messed up ending to the series, he practically goes insane.



SUPPORTING ROLES: (At the time, all of these characters have between five and ten lines total)

GENZO NAKAMORI (Aramek, u/s IvanGranst)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/nakamori.jpg
(Male, Adult, Low)

Inspector Nakamori has been chasing Kaitou Kid for nearly two decades, not counting the time when the thief mysteriously vanished. The job weighs on him a lot, especially since although he can figure out nearly every move of Kid’s, he can never catch him. He is also known for his somewhat colorful language at times (although he doesn’t swear much in this).


GIN (IvanGranst, u/s ShintarouInuzuka)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/gin.jpg
(Male, Adult, Medium-low)

Gin is more or less the main villain (of evil) of the series and is the one responsible for shrinking Shinichi. He’s a member of the Black Organization and basically just evil. And has long blonde hair. His part in this is relatively small, but the scene he’s in practically stole the entire story when it was originally posted, so it’s not a bad role to look into.


RAN MOURI (t2003Lynn, u/s Shika Megumi)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/ran.jpg
(Female, Teen, High-Medium)

Ran is lifelong friends with Shinichi (and thinks of him as more), but she’s more or less clueless that he’s living right under her nose now; literally. There have been many instances when she’s come close to blowing his cover as Conan, but something always happens to make her change her mind. She’s generally a very sweet and nurturing person, but she’s also the karate champion at her high school and she will hurt you if you get on her bad side. Seriously. And she does get angry in this script.


HEIJI HATTORI (ShintarouInuzuka, u/s Shawn Gage)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/heiji.jpg
(Male, Teen, Medium)

Heiji is considered by many to be the western (Japan) equivalent of Shinichi. He is also a brilliant high school detective, and although he never originally met Shinichi in person before he met him as Conan, he quickly figured out that the two were one and the same. However, when it comes to social situations he’s a complete idiot. He constantly gets into fights with Kazuha and has a very bad habit of referring to Conan as “Kudo.” Apparently he’s only smart when he’s solving crimes.


KAZUHA TOYAMA (Scarlotte, u/s YingFaStar)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/kazuha.jpg
(Female, Teen, High)

If Heiji is Shinichi’s western counterpart, then Kazuha is Ran’s. Kazuha is generally very friendly to everyone except Heiji or anyone that messes with him. In fact, the two usually fight like an old married couple (although there’s nothing like that in the script). She’s also very strong and can look after herself, but she’s still a typical, kind teenage girl.


ANCHORMAN (PhaeThorn, u/s deuceloosely)
(Male, Adult, Low)

He’s described in the story as greasy-looking and talking smoothly. Basically your average news announcer that’s just reading off the facts.



MINOR ROLES (These parts have less than five lines at the moment)

VERMOUTH (Shika Megumi, u/s huntress)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/vermouth.jpg
(Female, Adult, Low)

Vermouth is another member of the Black Organization, and is actually an American movie star in her usual guise. Like most members of the syndicate she is also rather evil.


AOKO NAKAMORI (huntress, u/s Shika Megumi)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/aoko.jpg
(Female, Teen, Medium)

Aoko is Kaito’s childhood friend (have you noticed that all of the guys have girls like this?), however, she despises Kaitou Kid since he always makes her father look bad. This could lead to some potential mental anguish if she ever found out Kaito’s secret... In their regular high school lives, she tends to chase Kaito around with brooms and mops whenever she gets mad at him.


SHINICHI KUDO (Shawn Gage, u/s ShintarouInuzuka)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/RurouniTamanegi/SiteStuff/shinichi.jpg
(Male, Teen, High-Medium)

Shinichi is the main character of the story and the true form of Conan Edogawa.


EXTRA ROLES (These are basically a bunch of nameless characters that have a few lines and do background babble, but they are very important!)

TASKFORCE MEMBERS: (Whiskey Hicks, willknavison, TacticalShoe)
(Male, Adult, any)

These police officers are on a special branch of the department solely responsible for Kaito Kid. I’ve set it up for lines among three of them, but I can make it more if necessary.


KAITOU KID FANGIRLS (All females)
(Female, Teen, any)

As it looks, basically a group of girls that love Kaitou Kid and go to all of his heists to watch him. They scream and squeal a lot. I really don’t have any audition lines per se, but if you’re interested in providing some of these sounds let me know.


SYNDICATE HEAD (Kimeru)
(Any, Adult, any)

A head figure in the Black Organization (i.e. an evil person).


GUARD (Kimeru)
(Any, Adult, Any)

A prison guard.

(Italics mean confirmed)


Thank you all so much for auditioning!!! It was incredibly hard to decide, which is why I have so many understudies. Please confirm ASAP!!


And, as a side, note, as a first (and probably only) time producer, I can use all the help I can get with this, especially finding sound effects. Anyone willing to help me in this department will be loved forever.

Ooh, I saw this on the VAC! It looks interesting; expect an audition!

Shintarou Inuzuka
03-13-2007, 03:42 AM
I think I'll be auditioning for this one too ^_^

Magic Kaito
03-17-2007, 09:56 PM
(I'm slow at replying, ACK!)

Thanks for your interest, you two! I hope you can audition! Cause... I really need more -_-;

I'll audition for Conan! ^-^

Shawn Gage
03-18-2007, 02:33 AM
The ironic thing is I came searching just for a DC audition today and found one on the first page. Expect several auditions from me.

Kimeru
03-18-2007, 06:51 AM
I have sent mine. We'll see what happens. XD

Magic Kaito
03-18-2007, 07:05 AM
Audition recieved! (although my computer's being stupid so I won't have a chance to check it until I get offline...)

And for all of you that have shown interest and plan on auditioning, you don't know how happy you've made me! XD I mean, I love all of the auditions I've gotten, but a few parts haven't had any tries yet and the more the merrier, right?

Kimeru
03-18-2007, 07:14 AM
Indeed. XD

Whenever you can listen, I expect your commentaries... nya. ^^

I'll aud for Conan and Gin. Both are fun parts to do...

IvanGranst
03-18-2007, 08:25 PM
I too have sent my auditions, sorry for so many

Magic Kaito
03-18-2007, 11:56 PM
I too have sent my auditions, sorry for so many
Hey, in my opinion you can never send too many auditions! XD

I've recieved yours as well, but I need to find time to listen to all my new ones now... The sudden enthusiam for this project is making me very excited! :D

IvanGranst
03-19-2007, 12:05 AM
Case Closed was one of my favorites while is was playing in the US, I tuned in every day/week.

Shawn Gage
03-20-2007, 09:27 PM
Are you looking to match the English or the Japanese VAs for this project?

Magic Kaito
03-21-2007, 04:59 AM
Honestly, I'm not really looking for any "matches", just whoever does the part best in my mind. I suppose I've been more exposed to the Japanese version, however, so maybe my mental thoughts for the voices lean toward that :sweat

Shika Megumi
03-22-2007, 04:07 AM
Finally sent auditions! =D"

Magic Kaito
03-22-2007, 05:06 AM
Heh, it's fine! I got them. Now I just need to listen as soon as I sign off the internet... (cause my computer does not like it when I try to listen to music and be online at the same time. Stupid...)


EDIT: Blah, I knew I'd forget!

UPDATE!!!

I have officially set the deadline for auditions as April 10th. I figure that many of you will have time off around Easter for last minute recording. I should have the cast list up on the 11th or 12th, I'll send confirmation emails (that's easier), and we can get going and I can hopefully finish this by May 30th! ...I still need sound effects and music. Whoops.

Auditions sent for Conan and Gin. Critiques welcomed. ;)

Magic Kaito: ...where can I get one of those nifty sigs with the stars and such?

Magic Kaito
03-22-2007, 05:46 PM
Yep, I got yours, too! ^^ Honestly, I'm not much of a critiquer, but I may have a few random comments for some of you that will be sent via email ^^.

The Pokemon sig is in the "Fun" forums under the "VAA Pokemon Club". A lot of them have been springing up lately... I sort of wish they would make more and that I could catch them in time to get my favorites ^^; *wants a Naruto one badly*

Okay, back on topic! Radioplay. Conan. Auditions loved to no end.

YingFaStar
03-24-2007, 08:09 PM
Auditions sent =D~

Magic Kaito
03-26-2007, 04:59 AM
Audition recieved! ^^; Sorry, had a very busy weekend.

Keep sending them, everyone! I have loved all the ones I've gotten and once the deadline comes I know casting will be very hard and painful, but I still think we could use more ^^. Especially on a few parts that have like no auditions...

deuceloosely
03-26-2007, 01:23 PM
I'll send an aud for the Anchorman by tomorrow...

Magic Kaito
04-01-2007, 06:41 AM
Just a friendly note/reminder, all auditions are due in 10 days (April 10th) for those of you that still plan on auditioning ^^. And if you check the character list, you can see I still need more on a few.

Magic Kaito
04-06-2007, 02:33 AM
Another reminder that the deadline is looming...

Also, I'm going to be gone for a few days. I might get online at some point tomorrow and then I won't be back until Monday night just to warn you all.

So, get your auditions in!! I'd like to have more than one or two (or zero) on the characters (except on the Extra parts) just for the sake of it bieng more like a real audition. They've all been great and more will make my decision ever so much harder, but that's why this is fun, right?

Magic Kaito
04-07-2007, 04:01 AM
One last bump until I leave until Monday. ^^

By the way, if any of you that have all ready expressed interest need a little extra time, let me know. But I want to have these over by next Friday at the latest.

Magic Kaito
04-10-2007, 12:32 AM
1 day left and no new auditions while I was gone... I want at least two on each part for fairness sake and I really don't want to extend this if I have to, but please audition if you get the chance!


ETA: I'm smart and forgot to add this. The deadline is 12 A.M (Midnight) CDT TOMORROW!!!

04-10-2007, 01:26 AM

If no one else auditions for it and I somehow don't get cast for a part, just write me in for the news guy. I used to be a radio on-air person so I can throw a pretty mean broadcaster voice. ;)

I also simply don't have the time I need to put together another audition the way I need to (I work VERY early in the morning). :(

Let me know if this is a problem...

Magic Kaito

You know, honestly, I was thinking about doing that anyway since you had mentioned auditioning for the part and I haven't gotten anything yet XD. I'll trust you can do it and I've heard some of your acting on your other auditions, but we'll see what happens ^^


As for everyone else, thank you so much!!! I got the auditions from Kitty and KitsuneSqueak and I look forward to hearing from the rest of you! ^_^ You've still got 24 hours, so there's still time. I suppose technically these end on the 11th...

Just sent my audition about an hour ago.

Magic Kaito
04-10-2007, 11:35 PM
Got 'em both! ^^ Thanks a ton!

Magic Kaito
04-11-2007, 06:11 AM
Well, considering the wonderful feedback I got over the last 24 hours, I don't need to extend any of the parts. :D

Therefore, all auditions are CLOSED. I will not accept any more unless you have already asked for an extention.

The cast list should be up in the next 24 hours, possibly the next 48 depending on how busy I am and how hard all of you have made it for me ^^. And then... we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Magic Kaito
04-11-2007, 11:44 PM
CAST LIST HAS BEEN POSTED!!

**NOTE**: I cast every girl that was given a part (understudies included) as a Fangirl. It's basically just background noise and you don't have to do it but I'd really appreciate it. Heck, if you weren't cast and you'd like to do some of that for me, contact me and I'll send you a script!

KitsuneSqueak

Okay, I need to start marking confirmed parts now :sweat. I feel very busy...

*thinks* Actually, since the only roles I haven't had confirmation on are the one-liners (and frankly I only need one of those recorded again and if he doesn't comfirm I'll just ask one of you to do it XD), I think I'll send out scripts in the very near future! Like, either now or tomorrow afternoon. I'll have more info about when I want the lines and whatnot in the email and try to get to those feedback replies :sweat

Yay! I'm so excited! *_*
