I've watched all Lupin III's seasons and a lot of the movies. This film felt like a parody of Lupin's 50 year legacy and I'll explain why in this review. Animation: clean, colourful and with the old school charm that is part of Lupin III's iconic visuals. However, at the end of the movie, it was quite inconsistent. Sound: 1) Lupin III's iconic theme song was ruined by some dodgy lyrics and vocals. For 50 years, the instrumental has been a constant presence in every episode, movie, OVA, special. Yet, for some odd reason, this movie wanted it to be different and it was justawful. There's a saying that goes "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" and it fits perfectly here. 2) "Super Hero"'s version for this movie had terrible vocals. Again. if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Story and characters: 1) this film is more cartoon-like in terms of comedy and action and I feel that this new approach didn't help the level of enjoyment at all because it's just not Lupin III's style. 2) Lupin's gang and Zenigata and his assistant felt like parodies of themselves: Zenigata is never really focused on arresting Lupin, Lupin doesn't act as expected towards Fujiko, ... just to give a few examples. 3) the story feels rushed and many events make no sense whatsoever. 4) SPOILER: in every Lupin's story there's always a girl/woman that happens to pretty and they need help. I would love to see some creativy story-wise because it just gets old and too predictable for it to be enjoyable. Overall, because the story is poorly executed and the characters don't feel like their real selves and also because the iconic soundtrack got butchered, I have to rate this film a 3/10.
I LOVE Lupin III and I really appreciate that they used red Jacket Lupin! This special is really fun and nostalgic. Within the first opening scene they used the Lupin III theme with vocals and it was truly music to my ears. ART 10/10 I think the art style is really crisp and clean for 2019. Although I’ll always love the classic Lupin artstyle I quite like this new modern art style too! I guess it’s important to realise that anime is changing and so will old art styles. It’s good to appreciate both! MUSIC 10/10 I always love Lupin III soundtrack. Love going on a driveand putting the OSTS on. I definitely downloaded the remastered vocal version and played it a couple of times and many of the other tracks from this special. STORY 8/10 It’s quite a good story but there definitely has been some more outstanding storylines within the Lupin III series. I really enjoyed that they maintained the personalities of the characters especially Goemon when he is a bit moody haha. I guess I am quite open minded and mostly appreciate the overall of the special but it’s quite enjoyable and worth a watch! CHARACTER 10/10 What can I say? I love all the characters and they were well maintained! I love how they were shown Overall I loved this special and I look forward to more in the future. Lupin III is a series getting recognised more world widely instead of just Japan and I hope it continues. The special was very enjoyable and nostalgic. Give it a watch!
There once was a man named Hector Finnegan, who was a legendary thief. He is sentenced to death. But before they can hang him from the gallows, thieves from all over the world set a course to the prison. In hopes of saving Finnegan so he can lead them to his treasure. Makes you think of Gold Roger doesn’t it? 🤔 But there is much more going on here. Twist and turns. Its another one of those Lupin has to save a kingdom type movies. I like Fujiko in this. Greedy as always. Fujiko is a character who can be made as very likeable or detestable depending on thewriter. Zenigata also gets to show just how skillful he actually is. And how much he actually adores Lupin. He might not be able to catch Lupin. But he may be the world’s greatest cop.
