and probably still counting. Is there any statement from the production if
they have any plans on having this anime series end? If there is, what is
their plan on doing so? Will Conan be able to revert back to Shinichi and have
the Black Organization behind bars or something like that? Or do they want
this to be open-ended?

detective-conan
Is there an official statement about Detective Conan's ending?


There hasn't been any official announcement related to the end of the manga or
the anime, but here's an interview with [Aoyama Gosho](http://detective-conan-
news.blogspot.ca/2011/05/2011-aoyama-gosho-interview.html) which took place in
2011.

This should clear most of your questions.
