The popularity of Detective Conan seems to be expanding more and more, with the 17th movie in the series, Detective Conan: Private Eye in the Distant Sea, earning the most box office earnings of any other movie in the series to date (3.61 billion yen). The series will reach its 20-year mark in 2014 and along with it the 18th movie in the series, Detective Conan: Sniper from Another Dimension, will release. The story is one you won’t want to take your eyes off that includes new characters named Masumi Sera who is female high schooler detective and a mysterious college student named Subiru Okiya who is freeloading at Shinichi Kudo’s house.

Also, 2014 will be a memorial year for the series, and Gosho Aoyama has drawn a teaser visual for the movie, which will be releasing in April of next year. This is also included as a pin-up poster in the Dec. 4 issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday. This is irresistable for fans who like both the series’ original work and the movies.

In addition to Masumi Sera and Subiru Okiya, many other characters will appear in the main story arc of the movie, including members of the FBI. The teaser visual shows a profoundly meaningful illustration of Shuichi Akai who was thought to be killed by Conan’s rival, the Black Organization. We are anxious to see what will happen on the big screen next year.

Detective Conan: Sniper from Another Dimension will deal with a “sniping incident from an impossible distant by a mysterious sniper.” The story begins from the 635-meter-tall Belltree Tower overlooking Tokyo. Right in front of Conan and the others, who are participating in the building’s opening ceremony, a bullet is shot through the glass, killing a man.

Conan, Sera, the police, and the FBI work together and begin searching for clues, discovering that the mysterious marksman is a member of the Navy Seals. Meanwhile, a mysterious college student named Subiru Okiya appears.
