[THIS WAS WRITTEN RIGHT AFTER WATCHING IT AND ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA ACC. KEEPING THIS HERE FOR AN ARCHIVE] Watched blood seal of the eternal mermaid and it was so good. It had the usual lupin movie plot rehashes but there were so many good moments and ghe animation was mind blowing at times so I quickly ignored the samey structure. I noticed really quick they used a super heavily inspired ghibli/Miyazaki style Maybe in reference to cagliostro which I thought was nice. Lupin himself had a lot of really fun moments too. The token superpowered movie exclusive girl was fairly interesting and the little girlmaki made a very good sidekick to lupin
Overall I had a fun time :) 8.5/10
I’d give a 9 but the plot sometimes felt a bit TOO been there done that. Other than that it was a really great lupin movie
