I know, it’s a short video. I even had to pad it out with bookend material (though hey, at least I have Netanyahu in captivity!). But Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata and the Two Lupins is just a 50 minute feature, so give me a bit of a break. I have longer videos in the future, just trust me. (Though I’m having trouble with the next one already.)
Takeshi Koike’s Lupin features have all been pretty good, but I think this one might be the best. It actually has a little thematic meat on it. It’s more than just a good time, though it is also that. You see the characters actually reflect on the meaning of justice and its validity. It’s great to see Zenigata get more of a role in a Koike feature, too, though there’s no shortage of Lupin himself. Plus the mad bomber Lupin who somehow always makes it out of the explosions!
