![]() ![]() Episodes 3, 9 and 20 are so painfully mediocre that they're not even worth talking about. The two Jigen-centered episodes 8 and 15 were also really fun and my opinion on episodes 16 and 22 is favorable. The standouts are the Oshii directed episodes 4 and 10, along with the very fun episode 17 that pays homage to Parts 1 and 2. The one-off episodes are mostly unremarkable. ![]() Plus, the plot is hard to believe, even by Lupin standards. ![]() That being said, the story is obviously limited by only being 6 episodes long and I feel like the writers should have pushed the concept further, as they get cold feet near the end. This story is a lot more exciting, with much better characters and chemistry and with twists that, for the most part, actually work. The season two story is admittedly a big step up, with Lupin being entangled in a mystery about a woman who raised him and might be his mother. The writers take zero risks, every single one of it's twists is extremely predictable, the action is supbar with way too much talking going on, the villains are awful, the sidecharacters are boring, even the chemistry between the Lupin characters is off for the most part! There is not a single memorable thing here. To put it plainly, the story is atrocious. Speaking of the stories: in season one we get Lupin and Sherlock Holmes trying to solve a mystery about a shadowy organization, and meanwhile protect John Watson's daughter. Part 6 having two main stories is a big problem, as neither story is given nearly enough time to properly unfold. ![]() This constant interruption of the main plots with completely unrelated episodes is very annoying, especially considering that Part 5 absolutely nailed the structure by diving the story into 4 chapters and having the one-off episodes in between them. The series is devided into two seasons, each containing it's own seperate story which is 5-6 episodes long, while the rest of the season is comprised of one-off episodes. One of the biggest issues of Part 6 is the awful structure. Lupin III Part 6 is the sixth main Lupin TV series and seventh overall, and it is with a heavy heart that I must admit, it is also the worst one yet. ![]()
