Detective Conan: Zero's Tea Time
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
DETECTIVE CONAN: ZERO'S TEA TIME is a Detective Conan spin-off series that centers around Rei Furuya (voiced by Kyle McCarley), a triple agent who lives several different lives. This series offers a short and mostly lighthearted look at how Rei manages to wear all these different hats. Since this is a short slice-of-life series, there is no overarching story; each episode focuses on different random occurrences that happen in Rei's life. One episode might have him chasing down a criminal through an obstacle course, and another taking care of an injured stray dog.
Is It Any Good?
Fans of one of the all-time longest running anime shows will likely find something to enjoy in this detective spin-off. Detective Conan: Zero's Tea Time is primarily a fanservice show created for the fans of the main Detective Conan series. There are lots of references to events and characters from the main Detective Conan series in this spin-off that will be lost on new viewers which may impact how enjoyable the show is. That said, the story does provide enough information to follow Rei's daily activities which can be both exciting and charming. If you're already a fan of Detective Conan series, then you'll likely enjoy this. Otherwise, you might have trouble getting invested beyond enjoying its simple premise.
