Ideas/Overview
We get a blended bag with Lupin the third: Half II 08. I discovered the a lot of the episode to be kinda attention-grabbing. I favored that Lupin’s goal was a mafia boss of kinds. The heist plan was principally stable. And whereas Zenigata exhibiting up at their hideout was a plot contrivance, I may imagine that of their haste to flee, they may depart the map behind, permitting Zenigata to board the identical practice as them.
Fujiko’s disguise labored for me since I didn’t even acknowledge her in the beginning. It wasn’t till Lupin got here to her desk within the eating automobile that I noticed who she was. Lupin’s disguise labored on a floor stage in that although I knew instantly it was him, I may see others not recognizing him.
I give kudos to the writers for even fooling me on Lupin re-disguising himself as Zenigata. Certainly, eliminating Zenigata, the detaching of Martino’s vehicles from the practice, and Martino pulling one over on Lupin all labored for me.
Sadly, the writers ran out of time to make an attention-grabbing ending. As such, issues crumble quickly as soon as Fujiko will get rescued and the peril of the opposite practice approaches. Martino all of a sudden going insane smacked of plot contrivance. Lupin escaping the practice falling by leaping out on the again of the race horse made my eyes roll. Not solely that, however at that second, I knew Lupin would enter the horse within the race and that Zenigata can be there as effectively. Ugh. Horrible ending.
Ultimate Ideas and Conclusion
In the long run, Lupin the third: Half II 08 has a very good run, then actually falls off the monitor on the finish as a result of must wrap issues up rapidly. Disgrace, actually.
