Death Note Vs Detective Conan

Death note vs Detective Conan is an upcoming 52 episode anime special, featuring a crossover of Gosho Aoyama's Detective Conan series and Tsugumi Ohba's Death Note. Its creation was announced after the airing of the Lupin vs Conan special. At first it was to be a 3 hour special but because of the popularity of the idea, it was decided that it would be better to tell the story in an entirely new series. It was announced that the Black Organization would also be playing a role in the 2nd half of the series. This series is non-canon. The plot is an entire retelling of the Death Note story, starting from when Light gets the Death Note with the addition of the Detective Conan Characters. Gosho Aoyama said not to expect the same events to occur as the scenes from the original Death Note will be completely different. At one point he said, "be prepared for something exciting". Gosho Aoyama described the anime as a combination of the good parts from both series. It won't be as light-hearted and comedic as Detective Conan, but it won't be as dark as serious as Death Note either.
