This anime is very unique. Despite the low rating(5.80 as of writing this), I would easily recommend this to people. Especially if you like dark, mysterious stories. What do I think is good about it? -The atmosphere is unsettling and mysterious, but not overly cryptic. -The art-style is aesthetically pleasing, and stands out compared to many other anime. -The directing and cinematography is very good. -It is short and impactful. -Due to how short it is, the storytelling is tight and focused, so it's engaging to watch. -The perspective shifts between past and present, creating a strange sense of nostalgia, mystery and uncertainty. -It handles a dark subject matter, without being childishly edgy or corny. -It feels like it was made with passion and intent, the exact opposite of a cash-grab.…

Rate of 5 (average) English Subtitles Pro(s) -plot:killer ending (hahaha). I am laughing at the joke not quite so much on the ending. -audio: no static or unpleasant noices from sound. Con(s) - art: could have done without the multicolored fog. It made it hard to see what was going on. -plot: was a tad confusing. For it went back and forth between the past and current. -backstory of the main character seemed a tad rushed. Yes, there was back story but there should have been a touch more. -back story of the other characters were either limited and/or confusing. p.s. In Honor of the recently fallen Director Suzuki, Seijun. He was a historical figure in anime Lupin only makes sense i do a review of a historical anime.
