Ideas/Assessment
You realize, I gotta say that Lupin the third: Half II 16 had a fairly fascinating premise. A part of that was little question attributable to the truth that in contrast to many Lupin III episodes, this one was an precise adaptation of Monkey Punch’s manga work.
With the intention to idiot the viewers, the story has numerous “movie” gamers run so that somebody wanting via binoculars (for instance) sees a fiction. Within the second, it really works as a result of we because the viewer are disoriented. Nevertheless, in hindsight, this doesn’t maintain as much as scrutiny. There’s simply no plausible approach that any of this might occur, particularly with binoculars.
Subsequent up is Lupin’s supposed situation. For a begin, Goemon and Jigen don’t react fairly proper to the “proof” that their good friend and companion is a chilly blooded assassin. (Nicely, after the preliminary response.) Additional, Lupin’s Transformation Syndrome supposedly solely struck at midnight. In the course of the day, Lupin was “regular.” But there was footage of the faux Lupin doing crimes in the midst of the day and nobody questioned it.
I kinda want Zenigata had been extra uncertain after the primary reported homicide, solely to be satisfied after the physician visited him. Oh nicely.
However, I did like that Fujiko deliberate to commit a murder-suicide if Lupin turned out to be a killer. I want there had been extra of a constructive payoff in that regard, however as an alternative, we get Fujiko slapping Lupin for attending to “pleasant” and storming off.
Last Ideas and Conclusion
In the long run, Lupin the third: Half II 16 has an fascinating premise, and is an episode that retains the viewer off stability. However then in hindsight, the episode doesn’t maintain as much as any logical scrutiny. Nonetheless, it was a enjoyable watch.
