For @thepeoplesmovies.bsky.social ranked all 27 Detective Conan films that have English subs. Became a very timely piece in light of TMS showing the films on YouTube and episodes of the show making their way to @crunchyroll.com and @netflixanime.bsky.social with a new english dub link below.

I can not stand this weird hatred for the ScreenRant top 50 anime list. You may not agree with it, which is fair, but seeing content creators trying to bring objectivity to this list is just bizarre. At its core, any top list is subjective and not understanding that is just weird
