Lupin III (2015)

This is my first introduction into Lupin and I quite enjoyed it. Even having not seen any previous parts it was very easy to get into and figuring out the character dynamics. It follows a very set formula and it works very well and seems like it has been doing so for decades. While I don't think the story was anything too crazy it was more so the characters themselves that kept me invested rather than the overarching plotline which itself was spread pretty thin through the episodes. The animation in this pops and feels very fresh with a couple standout scenes coming out of ... the blue it was a very appealing watch. I can see myself watching more Lupin in the future and seeing what other antics the gang gets up to.

Yeah, this show is pretty average IMO. The story is alright but I feel it doesn't hold me enough to really gain my attention. Like the stuff they do is interesting and everything, but idk I just feel like it isn't able to keep me like maybe they don't build up the stuff enough or something. I just feel the story is pretty meh, not good, not bad. Art is fine I'm personally not a huge fan of how it looks but it's acceptable I'm not really bothered by it, the sound is fine not much to really say about that. The characters are pretty ... decent I feel they are all pretty distinct and likable in their own ways I like how they all have their different roles to play, but I will say that none of the characters really wow me like they are good just kinda good and not above that. In terms of overall quality, id says this show is like a 6 just because I think the story is good enough to be around there and the characters are pretty decent so I really don't feel bad about saying this. In my personally liking this show id give it like a 5, like I said I like the story and characters well enough but there was just nothing here that really made me love this show it was just kinda average for me.

What starts off as a promising first episode with Lupin getting married to a Italian heiress Rebecca Rossellini.

Ends up being a really lackluster series. The second and third episodes are so boring! After that the episodes are good to average but they never reach the potential of being great or Excellent. The plots are uninspired. I got tired that there was always a twist in the episodes. The show thinks it's clever but it's not. When I got to the last half of the show I just stop caring and want to finish the show. The tone is too serious there's barely any humor. ... It's like they were influenced by the serious tone from The Woman called Fujiko Mine. But even the Fujiko Mine series had it's moments of humor. There's barely any action and when there is action It's done lazy. Other then some stand out moments in the fighting animation with Nix. The Villain doesn't become the villain until the last two episodes

There's nothing exciting about part 4. It's a dull part for the franchise. For a franchise that's is known for its goofy gags, violence and adult themes this is so tame. After watching This I don't see any Lupin series passing part 4.
