I like the retro look and the RObin hood and Sherlock Holmes themes are always promising.
Michael Eh?
I must admit I didn't watch this prior to showing and wasn't disappointed. Romantic look at Lupin the Third character thief and a girl looking to get out of her situation of an aunt and uncle who only cared for her due to their neice's wealth. This episode makes me want to watch the rest of the series just to see how this honor amoung thieves works out with this adoptive daughter.
