Catching up on the last couple episodes and man This safe episode sure is 80s. I feel like they even tweaked the art style.

More Crazy assassins this episode. Though we only got a good look at one, there were two more with unique designs.

I was already enjoying the series, but I think the second story arc is off to a strong start. Especially with the recent complications introduced in the newest episode. I also smiled more than necessary at the Goemon scenes.

Sindai posted:I can't believe Lupin is dead and the series is over forever. Well, they killed him back in episode 4. We should be used to the Zenigata show by now. Edit: Slightly more seriously, I finally looked up the details people had been going "Ah! Ah!" over vis a vis Albert, and it clarified a lot in a hurry, I think. So, although the translation on a lot of sites is Dandridge, there's another localization going around. D'Andresy. As in Lupin's great granny's maiden name, which she went back to when her husband went into the thieving game. Add in an episode titled "The Man Who Abandoned 'Lupin'", and it adds up to explain things. Al's family who didn't like the trade. Went in for being a crooked cop instead of a thief with a heart of gold, and left behind the name in the bargain. Nobody you can hate quite like family, after all. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 07:12 on May 23, 2018 |

I really dig how the show throws in Albert's boyfriend like it's no big deal. The gossips at the police station don't make the usual "it's too bad he's gay" jokes, and even Lupin's dig at him is about the fact that Albert has a type.

Lupin was just happy it was somewhat easier to impersonate a target's lover than usual. That full body Fujiko suit has got to be uncomfortable

The gossips at the police station don't make the usual "it's too bad he's gay" jokes, and even Lupin's dig at him is about the fact that Albert has a type. It's also another parallel for Lupin, giving the guy a monogamous relationship to contrast Lupin's tendency to hit on every woman in sight.

I quite like Jose and his batch of assassins. I think Revenant as his name suggests be immortal in some way. As he has appeared to die three times so far, and the next episode preview shows he is back again.

The "I'll be taking the title of 'The Third,' then" line made me wonder whether Lupin III's first name is actually Arsene. Is he ever even called "Arsene Lupin III" in any official Japanese-language source? It's always just "Lupin III" (even in situations where a full name would normally be expected) and "your grandfather, Arsene Lupin."

chiasaur11 posted:Suggesting a Les Cousins Dangereux route, eh? Let’s be fair, we don’t know that the Lupin family is any more blood-related than the Bat Family. But yeah, pretty much every interaction those two have had screams ‘spectacularly bad breakup’, and I couldn’t help but notice that Albert’s current boyfriend looks kind of like a prettier version of Lupin, which gives that comment about how he ‘has a type’ a lot more weight.

"I'm going to steal France" isn't a bad crime, but in this case it seems kind of like trying to word around the fact that you've gone vaguely* respectable. * actual vagueness may vary

It's a kind of a thing for pro thieves when they go legit. Can't just say you're dropping out. Have to gussy it up. "I'm stealing 50K per annum, medical, AND dental!"

Next episode is a Red Jacket episode. Also man they slaughtered Jose and his assassins. Though I kind of expect Revenant to show up again, despite the Iron maiden.

Yeah, the other two things made me think of Red Jacket, but "Also ghosts for some reason, moving on" pretty much sealed it. There's been less Fujiko and Zenigata than I'd like this season, but we can hope for more later, I suppose.

Speaking of Fujiko, I actually recently finished it for the first time and I fuckin love the double twist. "Your life of crime and sex is just my escapist fantasy of a better life." "Sike, bitch. I was ALWAYS like this."
