Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The second TV season of the master thief created by manga artist Monkey Punch (Kazuhiko Kato) continues, as Lupin, ultimate samurai Goemon, ace shot Jigen, and brunette bombshell Fujiko crisscross the world. They steal a racehorse from a car on the Orient Express, an Ukiyoe print in New York, a file from Scotland Yard in London, a fortune in illegal gambling money in Monaco, and a fabulously rare wine in Bordeaux. Despite Lupin's extraordinary skills, none of these capers turn out quite the way he planned. But he invariably outwits monomaniacal Interpol Inspector Zenigata, who pursues Lupin to every corner of the globe. The animation is rudimentary at best, and each adventure is more fantastically improbable than next, but that's exactly what the many fans of Lupin the Third want and expect. (Rated 13 and older: violence, nudity, profanity, risqué humor, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars The laughs continue, June 17, 2003

This review is from: Lupin the 3rd - Love Heist (TV Series, Vol. 2) (DVD)

Lupin is one of those series that never loses its charm. This old time animation has a cast of characters that just make you laugh. the dvd package itself is decent, not great but pretty good. The cartoons are clear, voice acting is dead on and the menus are nice. I give it 5 stars for the fact the studio did not screw this thing up, unlike other series out there. This is Lupin in the original glory, nudity, guns, violence, one liners all the stuff that made this show hilarious to begin with. Even if you have never seen this show, pick it up just for laughs, believe me there are plenty of them to be had.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Lupin III" equals "Good, Not-so-Clean Fun!", June 6, 2003

This review is from: Lupin the 3rd - Love Heist (TV Series, Vol. 2) (DVD)

I've absolutely loved "Lupin III" ever since I first caught an episode on Adult Swim. Lupin is something like James Bond's goofy little brother. He can be suave, but he can also spaz-out if the situation calls for it. The dubbing in this series is great, in my opinion, though sometimes it's a bit anachronistic, i.e. the president of the U.S. looks like Jimmy Carter and yet sounds remarkably like Bill Clinton. The characters sound just as they should though, especially Lupin and Zenigata. Overall, it's simply a hoot.

This review is from: Lupin the 3rd - Love Heist (TV Series, Vol. 2) (DVD)

This volume was very entertaining, it isn't the best set of episodes but it still holds onto the viewers attention fairly well. If this were to be the first volume for someone who has never watched a single episode of Lupin the 3rd I assume they would more than likely enjoy it. The extras are just exactly similar to all the other Lupin DVD's with only trailers of other amine series and art concepts of the featured episodes which is ok I guess. If you're a Lupin fan you already have this but more than likely the amount of Lupin fans here in America is probably quite small. Who am I kidding not to many people are gonna read this, the only type of people that watch Lupin are the few that watched all of the 26 episodes on the adult swim block several years ago, and since it's no longer on the air I'm guessing not to many people watched it. There should really be a demand for this show to come back & show all 155 episodes on adult swim because it was a really great show for being as old as it was.
