The story here is a pretty standard Kaitou Kid heist tale, but I feel like it's characters are well presented, and really bring some life to the story. The story pushes Conan into the background and focuses on Kid as the protagonist, but I found that to be more interesting, to be honest. There's also a pretty good twist on the story that I won't spoil here, but it was a good change of pace. The art is about on-par with the early Detective Conan TV series. It's good, I enjoy the character designs, and everything moves well enough... but there isn't any overly impressive orflashy sequences. Above average and gets the job done, but it's nothing special overall. Audio is about the same, but it's boosted a little bit higher because of the great soundtrack and solid voice cast. The returning cast are just as fun as they are in the main series, but the new characters that were introduced for this OVA are also fairly well done, which was surprising. All of the new characters don't really have the time to get too well developed over the course of 25 minutes, but the OVA still tries to give them a little bit of depth. By the end of it, I still managed to enjoy the moments the new characters had on screen... and I'd definitely like to see some of them return in future episodes. Overall, I really enjoyed this OVA. Parts of it definitely seemed somewhat average, but it really shined in other parts. Out of the Detective Conan OVAs I've seen (That is, the first four), It's definitely my favorite so far. I give this OVA a 7/10
