20 Episodes have been dropped on Tubi.TV where they can be watched for Free with Ads even without making an account. They are episodes 965-984.
This wasn't announced in advance, it just happened, the main cast are the same Voice Actors from the BangZoom Dubs for a number of 2010s movies and some specials.
I'm excited to finally have some accessible Detective Conan content to recommend. I can't quite recommend all 20 of these episodes equally, a few in addition to being more forgettable plots also have some disappointing acting from the one off characters.
Initially it was only the first 10, of those 971-974 is an interesting 4 parter and the best of those 10 which are all muliti parters.
The best one off episodes from this batch are 978-980, any of those three could make a neat first impression of the show.
984-985 is a Kaitou Kid case featuring some of the regional recurring characters that is pretty good.
Also make sure to watch the post-credit bonus scenes, Anime was actually doing this way before Marvel made it popular.
These aren't the only episodes of the Series being legally Streamed, but they are the only ones Dubbed. Tubi only has these Dubs, if you want to watch the same episodes Subbed you'll have to go to Crunchyroll, I don't recall if they allow ad supported free streaming for anything anymore. But there they don't have the whole show either, 124-753 are not on any official streaming site in any form.
Fortunately the first 123 episodes are streaming Subbed on an equally Free app, Filmrise, but you have to search specially for "Case Closed", searching "Detective Conan" won't bring up results (I didn't even try searching "Detective Conan" on Tubi).
These are the same episodes that were Dubbed by Funimation but the episode numbers are different because of the longer event episodes being broken up for international release making the total 130. That Dub is discontinued and out of print but you can still buy DVDs from time to time however they're usually expensive, there are 5 "seasons" to what that Dub covered and how it was released which seem to be the same seasons as on Filmrise (all of this era is one season on Cruncyhroll) plus the first 6 movies, it was also officially only named Case Closed.
For going through the early days of Detective Conan I recommend this Important Episode list to help you know which episodes arguably aren't filler and why.
[However one flaw of this list is it gets when the movies came out wrong.]
The DeteciveConanWorld Website is also useful.
But I do also like Detective Conan filler/one offs as well, I above recommended 3 from this new Tubi batch. There are about 5 from that early era that I consider personal favorites but most are fun.
The Mystery Weapon Murder Case episode 53 on Crunchyroll, episode 25 of season 2 on Filmrise, and episode 55 of the Funimation Dub where the name was changed to Weapon of Choice. I like this one as an interesting example of one that breaks from the usual formula and has Conan simply help Kogoro solve it on his own.
The Robber Hospitalization Case episode 91 on Crunchyroll, episode 09 of season 4 on Filmrise and episode 94 of the Funimation Dub where it was renamed Hospital Homicide. This one sticks in my memory because of how it reminds me of Brun Notice.
The Kamen Yaiba Murder Case episode 119 on Crunchyroll, episode 13 of season 5 on Filmrise and episode 126 of the Funimation Dub where it was renamed The Masked Yaiba Murder Mystery. As I already mentioned on this blog this is a good episode to recommend to western Superhero Comic Book Nerds and Tokusatsu/Power Rangers fans.
The Sealed Bathroom Murder Case episodes 121-122 on Crunchyroll, episodes 15-16 of season 5 on Filmrise and episodes 128-129 of the Funimation Dub where it was renamed The Forgotten Bond. This is the best example of the show doing the Columbo format.
Update March 5th: Tubi has now added the Subbed versions for the 20 dubbed episodes and another 19 up to 1003, but they're uploaded as a separate show basically bug still under the title Case Closed. It's also confirmed more will get Dubbed.
