Winter 1996 Anime

Shinichi Kudo, a brilliant high school detective, follows two men in black and is force-fed an experimental poison. Instead of dying, he wakes in the body of a young child. Taking the name Conan Edogawa, he moves into the detective agency of Kogoro Mouri, father of his friend Ran, and quietly solves Kogoro's cases for him using gadgets built by Professor Agasa. Each case is a self-contained puzzle, while the search for the Black Organization and a way back to his real body drives the long story underneath.

Kenshin Himura was the most feared assassin of the Bakumatsu war. Now he wanders Meiji era Japan with a reverse blade sword and a vow never to kill, living at the Kamiya dojo with Kaoru, Yahiko, Sanosuke and Megumi. Old enemies and a rising threat in Kyoto keep pulling him back toward the man he used to be. The 1996 series runs 95 episodes, mixing gentle comedy, sword action and a serious question about whether people can truly change.
