It's okay. I just wasn't too sure, that's all. Sometimes, I can't tell whether or not a person's being sarcastic, so that's why I asked. Exactly. The red eyes. Terrifying. O.O

I'm actually really fond of how they present "The Hannin". But that's after ten years of acquaintanceship. I think at first I thought, "That's kind of creepy." I think I then graduated to thinking, "This is sort of weird." And then it was "This is silly." After a while it became, "You know, it's not a bad way to completely conceal The Hannin's true identity."
Now it's something familiar and comfortable. When I see it, it's like, "Oh! Hannin-chan! How have you been? It's been like a week since I last saw you! Have you done anything suspicious, creepy, and/or illegal since then? Let's go get some coffee together tomorrow so that we can catch up, but do remember to leave the cyanide at home along with all knives, blunt instruments, guns (because those are illegal in Japan, you know, Hannin-chan), piano wire, string of any kind really, and especially duct tape." Yeah, okay. Got a little carried away. Maybe I don't love The Hannin that much, but you know what I mean? It's The Hannin! There's even an action figure.

admittedly, I think the action figure is... stranger/creepier/weirder than the actual hannin in the series itself XD

Agreed. Totally agreed. I couldn't sleep with that thing in my room at night. I find most dolls/mannequins creepy in general, but one that's sole purpose is to kill people? No thank you.

Lol, I love this discussion about the hannin XD I never went through the stages you did, Mikau. I just rolled with it. But I do like how they conceal him (or her, I guess) like that.
Reminds me of that meme: *picture of the hannin* "'THAT GUY'" *underneath:* "responsible for all 665 crimes"

Hahaha! I've seen that meme before! That was funny! I do think that it's really cool that they conceal The Hannin's true identity from us. It makes it more fun as a reader/viewer. I can't help but wonder, though, how Aoyama-sensei decided on that method of concealment in the first place. "Let's just make it a completely black, androgynous, humanoid figure. That'll save me time on drawing too."

I was looking at a picture of the figure just days ago and thought, "Hey, I can get me one of these and scare the hell out of my cousin by putting it on her bedside table in the wee hours of the night, and against red-colored light, just for the heck of it" xDD Oh, and about the meme... Where do you suppose I can see it? Or is it now lost in the interwebs, never to resurface again? (LOLWAT?! XD)

I saw the meme one day when I was just google image searching some other DCMK thing. This is also how I found out about Bourbon. :/ Sometimes completely unrelated things pop up. That's how I found it.

It's a bit blurry, but . . . I saved it XD Along with a bunch of other memes.

Laughing because "that guy" reminds me of "that person" / Anokata... Maybe Anokata is the true identity of Hannin! O.o ...or the other way around.

GASP!!! All 700+ crimes were really secretly the work of Anokata/The Hannin! Yeah, I can see it...if only because I'm tired. I'm going to have to go to bed soon. ^.^;

Lol, well, Ano hito, Ano kata, they're similar even in Japanese XD
Anokata knows Conan is Shinichi . . . and he's torturing him with all these cases . . . Lol, I can see it too, probably because of my crazy imagination XD

And he's being extra cautious about it. That's why a bunch of other people get sent to jail.

Very, very cautious. He's probably actually manipulating those people into committing the crimes, but he's pulling the strings behind every one . . .

Oooooooooooooooh... *remembers Detective School Q Live Action adaptation with everyone ending up getting killed because of a certain hypnotism-related guy telling everyone to kill everyone and person A ends up killing person B who ends up killing person C who ends up killing person D who ends up killing person A* Uh... Am I still making sense? (Other self says: "What in the world are you talking about?")
