Lupin III Part VI is a step back in modern Lupin. After the brilliance of Part V I had high hopes for this season, sadly it didn't quite reach them. In Part VI we get two main stories, Sherlock Holmes and Lupin's Origins, with a mixture of episodes from well known creators in between, sadly the series doesn't have solid arcs like Part V. London and Sherlock Holmes was an interesting arc spread throughout the first cour, Sherlock was portrayed well and the mystery was interesting, sadly the arc was split with odd episodes wedged inbetween its beginning and end, making it a bit jumbled. Lupin's Origin which isspread through the second half of the series, again with odd episodes breaking up it up once again. This arc is weaker, with less interesting characters and a so-so ending.

The singular episodes between were of varied quality, though many were quite creative, personally my favourite was Episode Four: The Killers in the Diner.

As for characters, they're as good as always, but sadly the series has none of the exploration of their relationships that Part V had.

Side Note: Jigen's voice actor has changed for the first time ever, his new VA does a great job.

Overall it's Lupin III which other than Part III automatically makes it a good series, but it doesn't reach great.
