Lupin III (2015)

Overall, I just enjoyed this series a great deal. Not every episode was a banger, but it had more hits than misses. Would have liked to get more episodes focused on Goemon, but at least we got one with a solid look into his background. Nix could have used more development as well. Still, there's a lot to love about the additions to this series. Rebecca is a real spitfire and it's a shame to hear that her role in the story largely stops at this point, especially given the dynamic between her and Fujiko made things interesting. Having MI6 as a central player in ... the events of the series made for some pretty intense moments, and their distinction from Zenigata introduced additional complexity that livened up the series. The supernatural elements were occasionally convoluted, but in the series proper, they functioned as more intrigue and I think that's where they worked their greatest magic. And Da Vinci's role in this story was a lot of fun to watch. Dude always kept everyone guessing.

But this series wouldn't be Lupin if it didn't thrive on its central cast, and this most definitely did. Zenigata is consistently a pleasure to watch and got several great moments to shine, Lupin makes for an exciting protagonist to watch, and his relationships, particularly with Jigen and Fujiko, are particularly investing. It's not the deepest series, but it's not trying to be, and there's still a lot to dig into as the series goes on. I think this did exceptionally well balancing humor and drama, particularly in a couple of very strong episodes. And it looked gorgeous throughout, with some great animation and fight scenes that were absolutely marvelous.

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.
