On a racing course, a competition was going on with crowds of audiences in daytime. In a van, someone was found on a bed, it was a dead naked woman. She was covered with a piece of cloth. Meanwhile, the race went on. Besides the man, the dead woman revived and evolved and killed the two workmen on the van. At the race course, the ambulance van dashed into the road before banging into the wall. A metal like figure originally evolved from the dead woman walked out and shot the competitors and audiences. More such monsters emerged. The police arrived to deal the situation. A man-Gerd was hit and he woke up in the hospital with his friend as accompany. His friend-Hermann was angry because Gerd did not keep his word to stay alive no matter what.

As Hermann and the girl entered the room full of other staffs and equipments, she updated him with the causalities of death. Just then, the monsters were detected in a warehouse. They set off to investigate. Hermann went to visit Gerd to see him confident like the past and was glad. He helped him to his car to visit the others. On the road, Hermann made his way on his bike.

At the race course, a woman went to look for Gerd. She offered an untest drug which might solve his problem or cause side effect. Gerd accepted it. She told him not to reveal to anyone else. In a warehouse, one monster Amalgam was moving around. In Gerd's house, he was upset that the woman he loved had deserted him. He laughed sadonally. At the warehouse, the team was monitoring the Amalgam. They shot the target. From the top, someone was watching. The inspectors meanwhile realised that the Amalgam was still alive and it held one inspector hostage. Suddenly, a masked steel man appeared and destroyed all monsters, saving the scene. The others watched warily. The steel man evolved into Gerd. Hermann approached him. The woman was watching the scene as she took a puff.
COMMENT: Dark and moody. Dull plot and nothing impressive at this moment. Plenty of special and 3D effects though. Not my type of graphics. Besides, it looks like another one-hero-saving-the-world type anime. I doubt I'll want to watch any further episodes unless I really have nothing else to watch. Ending theme: 'Sad Rain'
Detective Conan Manga #61:

I've just bought the manga a few hours ago and have managed to read two of the stories. I'm still in process of reading the rest of the stories.
First story: It's another Conan Vs Kaito Kid when Suzuki's uncle tried to lure Kaito Kid with a precious slipper treasure. Like usual times, Conan solved the problem and gained all the spotlight again.
Second story: Conan, Ayumi, Ai and the rest went camping trip with Agasa. Along the way, the car ran out of fuel. Before they considered approaching the nearest manor for help, a passing driver stopped by and rejected with a rude laugh before driving off. Within minutes, there was a loud explosion and Conan ran to the scene to find that he had been killed in the explosion. After some investigation, the deceased's fiancee was the culprit as he had caused the death of her parents years ago when he rejected to help the gravely sick father for medical aid.
