Mission to Italy Between the adventures of Lupin in a pink jacket and when he began to wear a blue jacket, my daughter and I passed one Saturday. It took 31 years for the franchise itself. There was, of course, "A Woman Named Fujiko Mine," but it was a headline that featured the name of the world's most famous thief. So, "Lupin III: Part 4", or "Lupin III: Attacks in Italy"! .
"If Italy is a land of love, then all love is in my hands", - we are told in the first epigraph as if by the words Lupin the Third... I must say that the blue color of the jacket characterizes the serious tone of the narrative. And I knew that in absentia. Down with the ridiculous hahaikas from the third season (although I remember him with a smile). We have a serious project ahead of us! .
Well, Why Italy? This is about copyright. These are all routine procrastinations that I propose to sort out without my involvement. There is a lot of jurisprudence, but little meaningful interest. Suffice it to say that in Italy it was released even 2 months earlier than in Japan! Therefore, the curtsey to the Italians was made - because in Italy the anime series about Lupin was very popular. (Is it because GG split on Fiat?) . ).
The style of drawing has grown by the head, or even two. Fujiko Again red-haired. The jigen has a hat on his eyes again. And Hoemon became younger. Details worked out. Now not only are the steep backs flashing, but even the hair on Lupin's head is divided into strands. The picture itself looks colorful and juicy. It's a little motley. However, the eyes quickly get used to and then there is just aesthetic pleasure! .
The place of action will be mainly Italy. Sometimes San Marino. And in another series, our heroes are going to Japan (nod to their viewers after all).
From the first shot, we see Lupin in front of the altar. He is married to ... (Fujiko?) ... Rebecca Rossellini. And it seems a trifling scene for Lupin will be a nail for the whole series. It's not a sitcom anymore. Here the series will have a connection. There will be a core story with a claim to multilevelity. It will be divided into: "The Italian Dream". They will learn about the difficult experience of the former Rebecca, who, as in Nolan’s picture, should have reached the introduction for a worthy successor to this idea. Here Lupin will have a dream that for me, as a spectator immersed in the lore, no longer a blank! (Lupin does not dream according to the canon! – which means it is not just a dream!) Next, we suddenly see... a Renaissance artist?? How?! Oh, that's the question the series will answer. The point of spoiling! ...
But that's when it comes to the mainline. The series will be very interesting and off the central axis! Moreover, stupid fillers in the usual offensive sense of the word, their hand will not rise to call! Italy. What comes to mind (other than the pasta stereotype)? Mafia! It was all the more interesting to see how the creators of our heroes, who themselves are on the other side of the law, will build into the framework of the confrontation of the Italian mafia. Will this be a confrontation...
I have to admit I liked the first half of the show better. It looked like Italian life was going smoothly and something was happening. And that's something. - Lupin! He looked exactly like an anti-hero. Almost a villain. A "noble" thief? What about, for example, the suffering of the victim after a lost jewel? Then after the "Italian Dream" and all sorts of "Mi-6" went undue series, which, however, were much more minor than in all seasons before! Well, the fillers were the same in the usual sense. They did not enjoy it.
The last two episodes of the main story are almost a masterpiece! Although I did not know how to perceive Leonardo da Vinci for a long time, I finally understood. Oh, I know it!! Oh, that was a sur! But sura – all suram sura! ...
I really enjoyed the series! But for the sake of objectivity, the assessment will not be 10.
