| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Continuing my rant on regard of fansubs They translate captain of the police's name as "Bana Lute", when even I could clearly hear that Zenigata called him "Alan Bonaparte" The next episode promises to be great |

| I absolutely cannot get used to Goemon's new baby face and butt chin. |
In which Lupin assists a downtrodden and jobless Zenigata: uncover the truth after he's setup by a superior officer in a botched attempt at capturing him. The faces are starting to stand out to me more, they seem more jarring than in the first episode, but I'll probably get used to them eventually. It's the noses right now I think, especially Lupin. His hair line too come to think of it. The episode itself was fine. We've had Lupin helping Zenigata before. I'm not sure if I'd say Fujiko inherently betrayed Lupin this time as it doesn't seem like she was in on his plan from the beginning. If anything she was just an opportunist after everything went down. A mild betrayal by her standards anyway if one at all. Pretty outlandish and over the top displays of power from everyone in capturing Aran too, but then I remember Part II got silly often too. And while Lupin was nice to Zenigata we should never forget he's usually got an ulterior motive:  |
| This time Zenigata believed what Lupin said without proofs Whereas before he didn't even with proofs Awww not my weakness, I'm sad whenever Zenigata sad :( At the end of the way it was Fujiko's plan and she's forgiven for it At least this time the betrayal isn't the worst |
"Signature removed"   |
| This one was more focused on Zenigata. The poor guy had to deal with a corrupted superior, but thankfully Lupin was there to give him a helping hand with the case. |
 |
| This was great. The plot was more complex than usually with deception and betrayal, new elements like the focus on Zenigata, Lupin being "loyal" to him because the enemy you know is better than the enemy you don't. And yet it still felt like a Lupin episode. The plot wasn't new for the series, but it's not one of the overused ones. Still getting used to the music. I guess it's still high quality, this time a mixture of pop, dixieland jazz and some enka flavour. I did prefer the jazz-funk and classical of the earlier series, but maybe that's just a matter of taste. |
Second episode was pretty fun. Got more laughs from this episode than the previous. 8.5/10 |
