Serviceable, not remarkable. The thing about these OVAs is that they're basically just anime-original episodes of the show, which means that they either have an interesting and memorable premise, or... they don't. And that doesn't mean it's bad. This one is quite charming at points. But that doesn't overcome the fact that the Detective Boys job shadowing Kogoro for a day is a story I had to strain myself to remember even though I'm writing this review about a day after I saw it. The obligatory mystery wasn't important to that premise and this story (while fine) just isn't that important to the series, evenfor a Detective Conan completionist like me. This one has a slightly larger role for Haibara than a lot of anime-original content from this time, so I was happy about that. I continue to love her.
