Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine

Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine (2023) is a feature-length anime directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa that you can watch online on iFILM. It's the twenty-sixth film in the long-running franchise, and this time the action moves out to the waters off Hachijo-jima, near Tokyo.

The setting is the Pacific Buoy, an offshore facility built to link police surveillance cameras worldwide through a new facial-recognition system. Conan arrives to watch whales with the Detective Boys, but a call from Subaru changes everything: in Germany, Gin has killed a Europol agent. The Black Organization is back in play. When an engineer is abducted along with a flash drive full of secrets, a faint propeller hum underwater starts creeping toward Ai Haibara. Minami Takayama returns as Conan, with Megumi Hayashibara voicing Haibara.

The ocean setting, the focus on Haibara and the return of old enemies make this one of the tensest entries in the series. It works for longtime fans and newcomers who like their mysteries with chase scenes. Stream Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine (2023) online on iFILM.
