List of The File of Young Kindaichi episodes

The File of Young Kindaichi (金田一少年の事件簿, Kindaichi Shōnen no Jikenbo) is a Japanese mystery anime series adapted from a manga also known as The Kindaichi Case Files. The series follows the crime solving adventures of a high school student, Hajime Kindaichi, the supposed grandson of the famous (fictional) private detective Kosuke Kindaichi.[1][2] He is often accompanied by his friend Miyuki Nanase, and sometimes police inspector Isamu Kenmochi. The manga was written by Yōzaburō Kanari or Seimaru Amagi (depending on series) and illustrated by Fumiya Satō.[3]

Produced by Toei Animation and directed by Daisuke Nishio, the anime adaptation of the original manga aired on Nippon Television between April 7, 1997, and September 11, 2000,[4] spanning 148 episodes plus one special episode. In addition, two animated films were released on December 14, 1996, and August 21, 1999, respectively. Seven years after the conclusion of the TV anime, two new animated episodes were aired in Japan on November 12, 2007, and November 19, 2007, respectively.[5]

On April 6, 2007, a DVD collector's box of Kindaichi was released by Warner Home Video to mark the 10th anniversary of airing of the original TV anime.[6]
