Lupin sansei

It's got substance. You can totally feel the late sixties/early seventies, when filmmakers weren't held back by certain obstacles like today; on the other hand, for some people it will be a big minus that it's during this period because they absolutely don't appreciate the animation. I was pretty much looking forward to every episode, not so much for what they were going to steal and how it would turn out, but for Lupin's way of getting out of whatever mess he was going to get himself into. Sometimes it was better, sometimes it was worse, but the final impression is that Lupin's a wanker, his gang is a bunch of wankers, and if it weren't for Zenigata, it wouldn't work that way. A series full of shenanigans. Light, totally uncomplicated, like many works today because we've gotten rid of that simplistic action. Too bad. At first I didn't believe I'd enjoy Lupin more just because of its simplicity, but I ended up wanting to see more of it. (2017.01.06)
