Hmmm, might check out P4 sometime.
Watched Lupin. Really cool art. Otherwise ep was just ok. Should have had more energy and "fun" for what it was. Lupin is all about fun. Just felt a little lackluster. Definitely has potential though.
Lupin attached rockets to a giant cocaine statue and then shot it out into the ocean, what more do you want?
No, the scenarios were great. It's just in execution those scenes were kind of average. I think the directing was just a bit lackluster compared to the great art and crazy scenarios. It was certainly no Miyazaki.
Duke Nukem Forever is case in point of that. If you read the game design script it seems like the BEST GAME EVER of absolute ridiculous events one after another. But in execution it was a shitty game.
What's weird is that this is the woman who directed Mitchiko to Hatchin and I thought Michiko to Hatchin felt more "Lupin" than the first ep of this. I think it might be this one taking itself too seriously, whereas Michiko was a lighter fun show reminiscent of past Lupin. Then again, it's only been 1 ep, so it's hard to judge and the show could be pretty good.
