Ideas/Assessment
It’s onerous to explain how I really feel after watching Lupin the third: Half II 10. Whereas I gained’t say the episode was dangerous, I can’t say it was good both. The premise to get Lupin to do a job for Marcel labored although. I can consider Marcel simply captured Lupin just because regardless of the sooner homicide, Lupin doesn’t suspect a lure. And why would he?
Nonetheless, issues turn into considerably muddled after that. First the writers have Lupin rejected by Jigen and Goemon. Then out of the blue, they present up as Zenigata with out figuring out Lupin’s plans. I’ll say that I appreciated that the seiyuu used their precise character voices when portraying Zenigata.
Sadly, the second Lupin regarded on the file he was tasked to acquire, I instantly knew what was what. That took a bit out of me. Nonetheless, there was the difficulty of the bomb Lupin wore. To that finish, I used to be curious to see how Lupin would resolve it. The writers mainly relied on some Lupin physics with the aircraft touchdown on the truck, and the sports activities automotive crashing by means of the gate and into the mansion unscratched.
As such, the story felt prefer it was simply going by means of the motions with no actual sense of stress. It appeared as if the writers needed to say one thing concerning the energy of friendship, but it surely bought misplaced in a muddy puddle of dumb jokes. However hey, not less than the official subtitles retained ALL the French honorifics and spoken phrases! Can’t say the identical for the Japanese honorifics.
Remaining Ideas and Conclusion
Ultimately, Lupin the third: Half II 10 is only a mid episode that goes by means of the motions. It has simply sufficient hooks to stop it from being a snoozefest.
