The tenth season of the Case Closed anime was directed by Kenji Kodama and Yasuichiro Yamamoto and produced by TMS Entertainment and Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation. The series is based on Gosho Aoyama's Case Closed manga series. In Japan, the series is titled Detective Conan (名探偵コナン, Meitantei Conan) but was changed due to legal issues with the title Detective Conan.

The second opening is "Kaze no Rarara" (風のららら?, lit. "Wind of Lalala") by Mai Kuraki for the rest of the season. The first ending theme is "Yumemita Ato de" (夢みたあとで?, lit. "After I Dream") until episode 287. The second ending theme is "Mushoku" (無色?, lit. "Colourless") by Azumi Uehara until episode 299. The third ending theme is "Overture" by Koshi Inaba until episode 306. The fourth ending theme is "Ashita wo Yume Mite" (明日を夢見て?, lit. "Dreaming of tomorrow") by Zard for the rest of the season.
