With Golgo 13's long history, it's a real testament to the property that the manga is still ongoing and that it's kept to its core premise. The first set gave us thirteen episodes that showcased exactly what Golgo is all about with his minimal dialogue, cold killings and a healthy dose of carnal relations with beautiful women. Provide numerous international settings and a whole lot of style and you have a really fun show. The downside is that with it being an episodic show, you know it's all going to be resolved in one episode and someone is going to die. But that tends to work well if you go into it with the right mindset – and that you don't marathon it.
Golgo 13 offers up a fair bit of variety to the stories that are told and the way they have to get him to kill people. One of the things that makes Golgo so interesting is that he really is a cipher for the most part. One story has one government trying to get various terrorists to off each other by using them to target each other without knowing it. Golgo gets drawn into it as a target, though there are some that aren't sure they want him killed since he's so useful. When the discussion comes up about him and his lack of ideology, the way you find yourself viewing him is that he's not really a person. He's a tool used by those who can pay to do the jobs he agrees to, but there's nothing behind it the majority of the time outside of the paycheck. He's worked all sides of the fence and has no problems with any of it from what's been show. While it keeps him from being a hugely engaging character in one sense, it does make him extremely different from just about every other show.
Thankfully, Golgo 13 does not enter Lupin III territory by having someone regularly chasing him, but he does have the past come into the present a few times. One has him returning to San Francisco for a job where he ends up having a former detective he dealt with finding out that he's there and coming up to try and slow him down some since he's up to something himself. It's got a bit of a buddy cop show in a way as you have the two people who have a lot of experience in the world coming across each other and treating each other very civilly considering what's going on, but it has a decent if obvious little twist to it as Golgo gets down to his actual mission. Similar is another story that has him going after an assassin he had come across previously, Eva, except she knows that he's come for her and he has the right level for respect for her. She won't take flight and he'll allow her to finish returning him before he offs her. In fact, the two have such professional respect for each other that they'll engage in a night of passion, or what is considered passion for Golgo, before things move into the right phase.
This set has some fun around the world exploits as well, including a couple of airplane related ones that can make you tense. One incident has him going after a secret factory underground on an island where he's doing the same job as another professional. The two don't work together, though they cross paths in a way and keep their professional distance while having some appreciation for how the other works. It's interesting to see Golgo in this situation since it's someone who does what he does but he doesn't have a reason or a contract to kill him, yet he plans for it. You really get the impression that everyone he meets is just a contract waiting to happen and he files away numerous ways to take people out.
He does show a very slight bit of heart at one point when he goes to the Amazon and takes on a job from the last villager alive in a village. Revenge is the key here as he's asked to take down a group of thugs who work with the police turning a blind eye to them. What makes this one really interesting is the level he goes to take them down, hijacking a plane through which a lead negotiator is someone he's dealt with before and understands he may be doing something useful. Drawing attention to the thugs down there and causing a ton of carnage that even captures the attention of the CIA as they monitor the whole situation. Seeing him go to these kinds of extremes for a job isn't a surprise, but this one just has a very different feeling to it.
Like the first set, Golgo 13 doesn't stray from what it does as it does it so well. The stories are varied in a lot of ways but they follow a familiar structure. The beauty in it is watching how Golgo accomplishes it. He goes above and beyond with a lot of it, such as dealing with an armored truck in an absurdly fun way, or making a shot ricochet on a wave to strike inside a building, but at its core there is a lot of really excellent assassinations going on here that captivate and excite. There's a lot of style to it, but it's not flashy style. It's a professional style that you rarely see in anime as the focus is on being flashy. Golgo 13 continues to be the man's man and these episodes only solidify it. A must own set to be sure.
