Great deal -- 5 feature films on 5 discs in a slim box. The films themselves are wonderful, witty and entertaining. There is only one problem for serious anime fans, especially hardcore Lupin fanatics.

If you enjoy the original Japanese dialog (Yasuo Yamada as Lupin, for instance), perhaps with subtitles, you'll be a little dismayed to learn that while the English soundtrack is in Dolby Digital 5.1 and Stereo 2.0, the original Japanese is in glorious MONO. Also worth noting is the less-than-stellar appearance of the subtitles. There is grainy noise around them.

As a fan of Lupin I thought ive seen all there was to be seen by the master theif himself. I was blown away by the extra content in this one its amazing. If you a good time or your a hardcore lupin fan this is the set for you.

This movie pack contains the following movies:

Farewell to Nostradamus
Island of Assassins
Crisis in Tokyo
The Columbus Files
Missed by a Dollar

All fantastic. Go. Buy! :)

Lupin the third, Goemon, and Fugiko take us on a series of excellent adventures. From the world acclaimed, " Missed by a Dollar" to The award winning, "Crisis in Tokyo" we never stop enjoying Lupin's exploits in love and theft around the world. Lupin, the world's greatest Would be Robin hood, voiced by funimation and Pioneer, presents us with great acting, and awesome animations. There is no way you could possibly resist a second or even third look at any of the wonderful movies in this collection.
Farewell to Nostradamus and Island of Assassins are my favorites.

I've seen all these films before they were boxed together.

For animation fans, Tokyo Crisis or Island of Assassins is worth the price alone. But together, with other great films? Amazing.

As an animator, I appreciate the hard work that goes into making these films.

I liked every episode in this set. The cast is great and the voice acting is top notch. I would highly recommend this box set. I am not new to Anime. I have been watching it for over 17 years. This may not have the flash of many other Anime titles but it still has style.

I don't have much to add - this is a fantastic value for any Anime fan, especially a Lupin fan, or a James Bond fan who's watched "Goldeneye" enough times to think it's good and needs something new.

I can also add that if you have an HDTV and an upscale DVD player, the movies look excellent scaled up.

A must not only for any Lupin fan, but any fan of anime in general. Awesome collection.

I thought these were Miyazaki films after seeing the Castle of Cagliostro - sadly they're not. Good fun but not in the master's league.
