The anime series Case Closed is based on the Meitantei Conan manga series by Gosho Aoyama. Originally titled Meitantei Conan in Japan, the English dub was titled Case Closed due to unspecified legal concerns with the name Detective Conan. The series is directed by Kenji Kodama and Yasuichiro Yamamoto and produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha and Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation. The episodes follow the adventures of teenage detective Jimmy Kudo, who has become a young child again due to a poison called APTX 4869. Renamed Conan Edogawa, he stays with the Moores and while hiding his identity, he helps solve murder cases until the day he can take down the Black Organization.

Case Closed has aired since January 8, 1996 on Yomiuri TV in Japan. Funimation Entertainment have obtained license to dub the series into English which was officially confirmed on July 5, 2003. Fifty episodes of the English dubbed series aired on Cartoon Network as part of their Adult Swim programming block on May 24, 2004 until January 2005 and were discontinued due to low ratings. The dubbed series aired in Canada on YTV's Bionix programming block from April 7, 2006 until September 2, 2006.
