LupinNetflix’s Lupin: Part 2 Review Lupin Part 2 is more focused than its predecessorBy Siddhant AdlakhaUpdated: Jun 11, 2021 9:35 pmPosted: Jun 11, 2021 9:21 pmAll five episodes of Lupin Part 2 are currently available to stream on Netflix. Lupin’s second season picks up where Part 1 left off, diving headfirst into the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between Assane Diop (Omar Sy) — a modern-day Parisian swindler taking after Arsène Lupin, the fictional gentleman
thief — and Hubert Pellegrini (Hervé Pierre), the ruthless businessman who had Diop’s father framed for theft. The French thriller’s first five episodes were largely set-up, but they make way for a second-half filled
with mile-a-minute payoffs since the police and other forces are hot on Diop’s heels when the season begins. Part 2, despite its bizarre penchant for diffusing tension at key moments, is much tighter than its predecessor, and it allows Sy to embody a much more interesting version of Diop, a man now dealing with the ripple effects of a criminal life he had hoped to leave behind. Lupin: Part 2 largely surpasses Part 1, and it even overcomes a few genuinely deflating rug-pulls to create a season with swift pacing, alluring characters, and a clockwork action climax right out of a spy thriller. Part 3 has already been confirmed, but this second block of episodes is a fun and satisfying conclusion to Diop’s story — at least, for the time being. Which returning Netflix show are you most excited to watch? The Witcher Season 2Stranger Things Season 4 Locke & Key Season 2Ozark Season 4, Part 1The Umbrella Academy Season 3AnswerSee ResultsLast season’s finale, “Chapter 5,” ended with the gripping one-two-punch of Diop’s son Raoul (Etan Simon) being kidnapped just as detective and fellow Lupin enthusiast Youssef Guedira (Soufiane Guerrab) caught up to the master thief. “Chapter 6” has an admittedly awkward start, since Guedira finding Diop doesn’t seem to line up with what Part 1 had teased. However, once its dramatic questions are clarified, the show falls back into its rhythm of entertaining action peppered with social commentary, largely born from placing non-white characters in traditionally white settings, like those of Maurice Leblanc’s original novels. Diop, the son of working-class Senegalese immigrants, is looked upon with far more
suspicion than Arsène Lupin, even (and especially) when disguised as an aristocrat, while North African policeman Guedira — the modern equivalent of Leblanc’s Inspector Ganimard — doesn’t command the respect of his white peers the same way. The season’s first episode pits them against Pellegrini’s Black henchman Léonard (Adama Niane), and what ought to play out as a standard chase to save Diop’s son is imbued with surprising intensity, when all three men are forced to tiptoe around scornful onlookers in a small, mostly-Caucasian town not far from Étretat, where Part 1’s finale took place and where Leblanc himself once lived.
Beautiful, brutal, and fiercely intelligent. Succeeds effortlessly as a propulsive action vehicle, while also offering sharp commentary on human nature, remarkable characters, and a harsh yet beautifully realized world. Vinland Saga is one of the best anime of 2019. " [52] Yukimura praised the adaptation, believing that it smoothed out pacing issues present in the original manga, and that the anime's staff understood the story better than he did. He further recommended that people watch the anime before picking up the manga. [53] Askeladd in particular remained as one of the most famous characters for the first season due to his mentorship over Thorfinn and Canute despite his villain-like characterization. [54][55] Hajime Isayama, the creator of Attack on Titan, was surprised by Askeladd's death, most specifically by how Wit Studio animated it in the season finale. [56] The second season's premiere earned praise by several writers from Anime News Network for focusing on the violence in Einar's backstory, fitting in with the elements of violence displayed in the first season. [57]
According to Escapist Magazine, Einar is part of the cycle of violence and revenge the series portrays as a theme due to how the anime further shows the downfall of his family at the hands of Vikings and starts hating warriors. While this initially causes his anger towards Thorfinn for being a former warrior, his avoidance from attacking him
marks a departure of the theme in the series and, most notably, in Thorfinn. [58] Both Anime News Network and Fandom Post acclaimed the episode where Thorfinn realizes mistakes of his life as a Viking and makes an oath to never use violence again with the former site calling it the "defining episode of the entire series" due to the impact it has on the protagonist.
By September 2023, the Berserk manga had over 60 million copies in circulation, including digital versions, making it one of the best-selling manga series of all time. It received the Award for Excellence at the sixth installment of the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2002. Berserk has been widely acclaimed, particularly for its dark setting, storytelling, characters, and Miura's detailed artwork.

after the death of his adoptive mother, Shisu. It came to a head when Guts was forced to kill a drunk Gambino in self-defense, fleeing his mercenary
group and becoming a wandering sellsword. His fearsome reputation catches the attention of Griffith, the charismatic leader of a mercenary group known as the Band of the Hawk. Griffith forces Guts to join the group after defeating him in battle, with Guts becoming his best fighter and main confidante. The Band is hired by the kingdom of Midland to help in its century-long war against the Chuder Empire. Guts learns of Griffith's desire to rule a kingdom of his own and his mysterious pendant known as a Behelit. The Behelit is instrumental when they are spared by Nosferatu Zodd, a monstrous immortal who leaves Guts with a cryptic warning of a painful demise for being Griffith's friend. As Griffith mingles with Midland nobility while acquainting himself with the king's daughter Charlotte, Guts begins developing feelings for his fellow commander Casca, the Hawks' only female member.
