Ideas/Assessment
And so I bounce again a collection with Lupin the third: Half II 01. I gotta say, it positive was good having the OP theme for the franchise we’ve all come to know and love. However how was the primary episode? To be trustworthy, it wasn’t a lot. Whereas I really like the thought of the return of Mr. X from the first episode of Half 1, it ought to have been higher.
If this had been carried out immediately, I’d have a a number of episode buildup to the reveal of Mr. X. Because it was, get some laughably unhealthy (however lethal) traps. After a part of the ceiling collapses and kills of us, one would assume the passengers is perhaps uneasy. When one other passenger will get killed by a venomous snake, properly, that too is simply handled as a “oh properly” second.
What’s worse is how poorly Lupin’s crew handled the scenario. As soon as they knew somebody was out to kill them, they need to have been extra cautious. As a substitute, they eat a luxurious meal as in the event that they didn’t have a care on the earth. I might surprise if it had been poisoned. In spite of everything, what’s poisoning meals in comparison with placing sharks in a pool?
Then there’s the confrontation with Mr. X. This too is hilariously unhealthy. The writers try to offer weight to the struggle by making Jigen and Goemon simply defeated. Nonetheless, Lupin and Fujiko’s “crash the automobiles” plan was simply based mostly on luck. Likewise, their escape from the ship was additionally luck.
Closing Ideas and Conclusion
Ultimately, Lupin the third: Half II 01 will get the gang again collectively. And it brings again Mr. X from the primary collection, full with clips from that episode. Nonetheless, there’s no actual weight to the story, partially because of poor writing. Oh properly. Onto the following episode!
