Things are getting pretty close to a turning point around here, at least as far as the end of the week posts go. There are two more episodes left in the Woman Called Fujiko Mine series (plus an essay, but that’ll go in a Monday slot), the thing that I […]
The intro is here. Token attempts will be made to discuss the other scraps of plot development going on this episode, but let us not pretend your humble analyst hasn’t been counting down the weeks until this episode. This week’s all about one character – the interpretive cornucopia […]
The intro is here. I will be forever unable to refer to this episode as anything other than “Lupin Goes to Silent Hill.” Having reviewed it with an eye for explaining what’s actually going on, “The Pretty Exposition Episode” would also be appropriate (if less catchy). Not a […]
The intro is here. Of all the shows I was expecting to have a requisite (surprisingly plot-integral, a la Outlaw Star) hot springs episode, this one was not it. This week: IN CASE WE WERE TOO SUBTLE ABOUT THAT WHOLE FEMINISM THING BEFORE
The intro is here. People are getting horribly electrocuted and there’s a sudden abundance of owl people. We must be heading into the final third. That is not a fedora. It is an oversized noir sombrero Episode Specifics: A fortune teller has been predicting the death dates of […]

The intro is here. Never was there an episode with so many nonchalant nipples as this one. Bless its heart. Nudity. Everywhere Nudity Episode Specifics: Jigen and Lupin meet for the first time in a recently unearth pyramid, both of them looking for a magnificent treasure called the […]
The intro is here. We’ve come to the first big hurdle of the series, as far as a lot of longtime Lupin fans are concerned. It’s all well and good to see darker, noir tinted versions of hitmen and thieves, but things get a bit harder to swallow […]
