Okusama ga Seitokaichou!+! 6 Lupin III: Part II 107 In which Lupin and Fujiko both learn the hard way about the curse of the Hope Diamond! Third extremely random, wacky episode in a row. The opening with Fujiko dreaming of marrying Lupin was nice. That ending with Fujiko surrounded by all the diamonds reminded me of the classic walnut episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show. Might have been an homage. Anyway, a silly if forgettable outing. Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2, 6

I guess I'll leave my thoughts here too:
Well the first thing I can say is this definitely felt like it was trying to be a Studio Ghibli film. If I hadn't known it wasn't going in I definitely would have thought it was one. The art style and character/creature designs were very reminiscent. And easily the best thing about this was those visuals. Absolutely stunning, though even that doesn't give them justice. Asuna was a very earnest, likeable protagonist, and the male leads both worked well enough. The plot did too, but the message behind the film about death being a natural part of life and all that fell flat for me. Not because it's untrue, or because there's no merit to that message, but rather simply because it's extremely well worn territory by this point. For me anyway. I've seen this concept tackled so much in media, from a brief Yoda scene in Revenge of the Sith to the core theme of 24/26 episode anime Casshern Sins, and everywhere in between. Maybe were that not the case I would have appreciated it more here. Instead it felt very by the numbers. Even Asuna's brief possession at the end wasn't much of a shakeup to the formula. It would be kinda nice if just once the dead loved one really did get resurrected with no consequences, but then that would send the wrong message I suppose. The world building was much stronger than the end goal in this film. The exotic creatures and locals really stood out. The stretch from Asuna helping to save the mute girl to leaving her with her Grandfather and continuing on the journey via boat was probably my favorite part of the film. The dub I thought was fine with a couple minor nitpicks. First, just the mouthflap matching was a bit spotty at times. Nothing major, but Sentai seems most susceptible to this of all the dubbing companies. Second, and again very minor, but it irked me that they had Brittney Karbowski voice Asuna's friend AND Shin's friend. She was fine, but really Sentai? Too cheap to use two actresses? Overall I thought it was good, and I'm glad I watched it, but I doubt I'll ever get the desire to revisit it. 7/10

Lupin III: Part II 106 In which Lupin must find, and later protect, a pencil eating cat! Another very strange episode, very out there plot. Even all the cats seemed very crudely drawn. Vivian could have made for a semi-interesting recurring character, but at least she found closure...I guess. XD Dragon Ball Super 65 One Piece 763

Lupin III: Part II 105 In which Lupin and Fujiko search Devil's Head Island for a lost Heiki Clan treasure. Pretty weird episode. The bug obsessed young lord of the Heiki Clan was pretty annoying. That aside nothing really stood out. Even for standard Lupin fare a pretty forgettable episode. Long Riders! 4 3-gatsu no Lion 5 Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari 5

Lupin III: Part II 104
In which Lupin goes after a solid gold bed in the hopes of sleeping in it with Fujiko! But first...new op and ed! Yes, the fourth and final op/ed for Lupin Part II begin this episode. Both were pretty good, Fujiko running around holding a puppet of herself was pretty trippy. XD The episode itself was fine, if a bit by the number. I love that apparently Lupin's a goof even in his fantasies, and he and Fujiko survive a point-blank explosion none the worse for wear: At least the show is willing to point fun at it's tropes. This time literally having Jigen and Goemon bet Lupin on whether or not Fujiko betrays him. A bet they win of course. XD
