Dat Goemon, right when i thought i would very much like to see some Samurai action in Lupinstyle, this was more than enough, being a samurai in the west setting.
Needless to say Fujiko was awesome like always. Also dat Goemon's "Mine Fujiko-chan" by the end of ep made me lol.

Goemon is a BALLER.

Phenomenal episode - I don't see how anyone couldn't enjoy this show.



I got some hints of the "Sound of Music" from "Maria" being their nanny and teaching them songs... and the location of the story... Just thought it had a little bit of throwbacks to that.

Pretty much this, the direction is close to perfection. And Goemon is a fantastic character, almost as much as Fujiko and Lupin.

Good stuff. Goemon was pretty awesome in this episode.

I wonder how next episode will go down. Maybe all the characters will finally come together or something?

I think there's a good chance of a Zenigata intro episode beforehand. It would also be nice to get some info on Oscar since he's a completely new character.

Yeah, I was thinking that myself after posting. I guess I initially wrote him off because he appeared in the first episode, but since he barely appeared it's a pretty good possibility he'll have his own episode.

Either way, I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Goemon's sword makes funny noises when it hits stuff. And boy, it doesn't seem like Fujiko can go an episode without exposing her breasts in one way of another.

I'm hoping that Lupin will appear in the next episode, maybe the entire gang will come together now since everyone has been introduced in the series? That'll be nice to see considering every one of them seems to have fallen for Fujiko. This is like a reverse-harem, but a badass one, lol.

Man, I can't get enough of this show. I don't know how many times I've said that to people, but w/e. In the back of my head, I had this fear of it dropping in quality each passing episode, but that's certainly not the case here. Is it gonna be Zenigata or Oscar the next episode? Or setting up how the four meet for the first time? Definitely can't wait.

Also on a side note, ever since the first ep aired I finally got the motivation to watch the Lupin III movies/specials I dl not too long ago. It feels kind of refreshing to see so many Lupin III content after not seeing much in a long time.

Things played out quite well for Fujiko, it was clever thinking on her part when she asked for belts to strap the children in. Goemon was probably my least liked character in Lupin III but this was a very good episode and it has warmed me to him. I Loved the repetitive voice over in this episode especially when he cut off the front carriages " I cut something worthless again".

I wonder who he was referring to at the end? The guards, Fujiko or something else entirely.

That like did make me chuckle. I haven't seen the original series fully so I don't know how Goemon and Mine interacted with each other. That is a goal in the next season or two.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Goemon cut through that entire tunnel. Did not watch anything prior to this Lupin but it's very well done. Although this episode seems to be lacking something that the previous two had, and no it's not Mine going around naked. Maybe it's how they used that shading style here... Either way, next episode!

Splendid episode. Goemon is fantastic and Miyuki is perfectly cast as Fujiko Mine (her voice is so sensual). And the kids were actually really cute and endearing.

Not very interesting (and that little boy was very annoying), but since Fujiko's greed and selfishness are so often emphasized it's neat to see her care about something other than money for a change. If she's completely heartless she's boring.

So Goemon gets his first meeting with Fujiko during a train assassination attempt. It was obvious she was Fujiko when no other female leads were really in the episode much. Still, Goemon falling for her was a bit surprising.

All that for a fancy seatbelt lol jk

So is Lupin III consistently set in a world like our own but with places named slightly differently (e.g. Poris from Paris, Astria from Austria, although its location was Adriatic?). I remember in the Detective Conan crossover movie there was a place named Vespania.

It made no sense for Fujiko to be naked in this episode... Oh well, she doesn't mind, but I just see it as pointless fanservice. Yeah, I'm not too keen on excessive badly pasted fanservice. I only like it when she used it expertly and as a trump card to outwit her opponents e.g. episode 1.

And yes I am well aware that for some viewers, the fanservice is the reward within itself.
