| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- And for a moment I thought Fukiko became reasonable (I was kinda surprised :P). Still wondering when Goemon will make his appearance though... |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| The downside to the first Lupin series, or at least these early episodes, is the pacing. They basically take a story along with the plot twists and developments that might fill out your standard James Bond film, and try to cram it all into one 20 minute episode. |
| I agree about the pacing. It's strange because usually it's the other way round, there not being enough material to cover a whole anime or an episode, but here it seems they have to take several shortcuts and skip explanations (and character development) to fit it all in. |
| Fujiko beats her score and manages to pull Lupin's leg right at the start. Lupin's perverted face is awesome when he was chasing Linda. 4 / 5 |
 |
| This one didn't make a lot of sense. Lupin is fantastical enough that I don't really bat an eye at the presence of a witch, but why did the experiment with the explosive flowers turn her into a witch? What does her being a witch even mean except that her death was strange and fantastical? More importantly, Lupin said that he got into the whole mess for the sake of Linda but at some point he just starts fulfilling that doctor's wish list, incredibly forgetting that burning the flowers will kill Linda as well. He doesn't even seem to care when the doctor shoots Linda dead for not much reason (I was kind of expecting him to kick the guy out of the plane) and even goes out of his way to carry out the man's dying wish. |

I agree that this episode tried to do too much in the time it was given. There was too much going on and a lot of things were just being skipped. Fronzel said: This one didn't make a lot of sense.

This episode had a lot of things that were strange about it including those that you mentioned. At least, the next episode looks promising. A naked Lupin and Zenigata equals win. |

| Yeah this felt very jumbled together, if the story was a little more fleshed out I would have liked it more. Should have been a 2 parter. |
 |
| Linda's a witch She made Lupin promise something Oh now she's dead, hope no-one wanted more information! |

| Wait, did Fujiko kill the nice girl at the end with the whole missile thing, or was she dead already? Memory's fuzzy, as I didn't have time to watch the whole episode in one day. |
 |
| I knew the exact moment he get out from the prison cell it was Lupin laughing xD Apparently every characters introduced in this episode died And Lupin still love Fujiko Mine, they remind me of Saeba Ryou and Saeko xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| A researcher was held hostage so that a criminal organization could use his discovery/invention for wrongdoings. And his assistant ended up "cursed" in the process, becoming unable to live without those flowers. Well, at least she was freed from this prison by fire I guess... Jigen is really a great partner by the way, always helping Lupin. This time even Fujiko saved him from a shot. |
 |
| What the fuck is wrong with you, Fujiko. Lupin has a good heart for trying to help that woman. Quite the dangerous flower there and the doctor got the curse of having their experiment used for the worse. RIP Linda. |
| LOL, that exploding boat. |
 |
| Fujiko needs therapy. That music while Jigen and Lupin are bro diving together. Ha! |
| Always without knowing the synopsis, the viewer will wonder what the character of Lupine III does to survive, since so far it has not been understood, however, yet another enemy for a very hasty and self-contained episode, many things are omitted and left to the imagination of those who watch the episode. Excellent atmosphere during the episode, always light-hearted and nice, even if there was a very small moment a bit dramatic, with a splash of dream. On certain situations, however, it is overlooked a lot due to the limited time available. |
