Lupin III (2015): Italian Game · review
What even is this special? Over 70% of the run time is abridged version of the first half of Part 4 aka "Lupin III (2015)" Thus the actual original content lack any time to develop and is rushed near the end. And I have to say, by this point when you say "Count Cagliostro" in a Lupin III story, nobody is gonna realize you are referencing the original Arsene Lupin story, everyone's gonna assume you are talking about the one from "Castle of Cagliostro", it's already a bad choice and the special also didn't do a job stating that case. With so little actual run time, howare there even any mystery to the supposed mysterious villain, since this Special is supposed to happen in between Part 4?
There's really not much watching value to this, even though there are some good parts, for one, the train chase scene is pretty good, so much so I'd rather it's its own 20 min or so episode.
Also the Opening is really awesome though, sadly it's attached to this excuse of a clip show.
