Watch Detective Conan in Order

Watch the Detective Conan movies in release order, starting with Detective Conan: The Time Bombed Skyscraper (1997) and continuing through Detective Conan: Fallen Angel of the Highway (2026). The series spans 29 films, released between 1997 and 2026. Audiences rate the franchise 6.9/10 on average.

What order should you watch Detective Conan?

For most viewers, release order is the recommended way to watch Detective Conan. This is how the story was crafted and revealed to audiences — earlier films seed details, callbacks, and twists that pay off in later entries. Watching in release order preserves those reveals and matches the pacing the filmmakers intended.

Detective Conan largely tracks its own in-universe chronology, so release order and chronological order overlap closely. You can use either without losing much, though release order is still the safest first watch.
