[up][up]I haven't read that part of the manga, so I don't know the difference between how it's handled there versus how it's handled in the anime.

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

[up][up][up][up] Well that's the anime's fault then.

Also I do not recall an anime that focuses & gives this much development to its antagonists.

As well as the issue with Root A involves horrid pacing & completely diverging from the manga only to ease back into nearly the same ending making one wonder why they chose to change so much in the first place.

Can someone give explain in better detail why it was so bad?

I read that part of the manga, and they go into a lot more detail. I don't know if the actual torture itself is gratuitous but The part where Jason tells Kaneki to choose who he kills, a mother or her child, then kills both of them because he gets annoyed with Kaneki's indecisiveness and the gay guy he hangs out with telling him that's messed up even for him pushed things a wee bit too far, maybe.

Oh, boy.

First off, we a Shonen Anime equivalent of the fricking Joker here.

And Second, why does Gon want to kill the Phantom Troupe/Spiders?

Yep, I'm still here.

Well, Kurapika's not wrong in what he's aiming to do. Pakunoda's Nen ability is far too dangerous to let it roam freely.

He hates their hypocrisy of caring for each other but being able to kill other people so casually.

See, various revenge seekers who are assholes? You can seek vengeance and be a nice person to anybody outside of the vengeance!

Pretty gutsy inviting his own adversary to his wedding, even if he has much respect for the guy.

Gotta say, that Blue Jacket's looking spiffy on him.

The real opening is so much better, with the actual Lupin song.

Having the old dub cast back makes me feel like I'm right back in 2003.

Now why do I have a feeling Rebecca might become a willing participant in Lupin's heists?

The real opening.

Hmm... How best to respond to that. There's so much fun to come of her.

Oh and this series alternates between episodic entries, including character spotlights outside of Lupin, and serial episodes.

Okay, so as somebody who knows very little about these characters, is Lupin just gold digging this woman?

That's right, boys. Mondo cool.

With Lupin, it's really hard to tell, to say nothing of his ongoing "dalliance" with Fujiko.
