The official website and Twitter/X for the upcoming Detective Conan: One-eyed Flashback announced that the anime film will screen simultaneously in Japanese IMAX and 4DX theaters, starting on its nationwide release on April 18, 2025.
The 28th anime feature film (also known in Japan as Detective Conan: Sekigan no Flashback) in the long-running Detective Conan franchise will be screened in 55 IMAX theaters, 12 MX4D theaters, 62 4DX theaters, and nine Dolby Cinema theaters. In addition to the regular screenings, the film will premiere in a total of 522 theaters in Japan, marking the largest number of theater screenings in the franchise’s history.
New poster visuals for the IMAX and 4D screenings for One-eyed Flashback have also been released, along with a “White Out” version of the film’s trailer.
Additionally, a “Flashback visual” of Conan and the other main characters were released. They are all wearing purple, checkered outfits, reminiscent of Kogoro Mori’s favorite color and fashion style.
Katsuya Shigehara (Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine co-unit director) is directing the new film, with Takeharu Sakurai (Black Iron Submarine) as screenwriter and Yugo Kanno (Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram) as music composer. TMS Entertainment is handling the animation production.
Many of the Japanese voice cast members from the TV anime series are reprising their roles in the film.
Gosho Aoyama‘s Detective Conan manga began serialization in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday on January 5, 1994 and has released 106 tankobon volumes as of October 2024. A 107th volume is set for release on April 18, 2025. VIZ Media releases the manga in English under the title Case Closed.
The manga inspired a long-running TV anime that first aired in 1996, with the first anime film being released in 1997.
Last year’s Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram became the most successful film in the franchise and is currently the 14th highest-grossing movie in Japan.
Crunchyroll is streaming parts of the Detective Conan anime series outside of Japan, describing the main premise as:
The son of a world famous mystery writer, Shinichi Kudo, has achieved his own notoriety by assisting the local police as a student detective. He has always been able to solve the most difficult of criminal cases using his wits and power of reason.
