I said sort-of imitator. I know it's not a complete rip-off, but in many ways it mimicked the style. Yes, I agree that it's probably a good idea to consider Detective Conan not mainstream, though that really depends on whether you are talking about mainstream in America or Japan. If you are talking about Mainstream in Japan then most of your selections are mainstream. If you are talking about mainstream in America... well then really things like One Piece no longer are. Yes, it's on a cartoon channel, but the version of One Piece they play bears little resemblance to the original creation. Also, I added more to my Zeta Gundam rant lol.
