Getting back into Detective Conan after a break — need some guidance

Hey everyone,

I wanted to ask for some advice from other Detective Conan fans.

I actually started watching Detective Conan during the lockdown when I was first getting into anime. One of the first anime I watched was Death Note, and after that I realized I really enjoy thriller and investigation-type stories. While looking for something similar, I discovered Detective Conan and ended up getting completely hooked on it.

Over time I watched quite a lot of it — I reached around episode 560, including many of the filler episodes. I didn’t really mind them back then because I was just enjoying the cases and the overall detective atmosphere.

But recently I’ve been busy with other things and stopped watching for a few months. Now I want to start watching again, but this time I’m thinking of skipping unnecessary fillers so I can focus more on the main story. At the same time, I’ve heard that some filler episodes are actually pretty good and worth watching.

So I wanted to ask people here who have watched further into the series: is there a good guide or list that helps decide which fillers are worth watching and which ones can be skipped?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice from long-time Conan fans.
