I got this DVD for two reasons: "The Last Mastery" and "Lupin in Paradise". These are the final two episodes in this DVD and I believe are the best. Man, talk about saving the best for last!

Being used to watching this show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, I was really pleased in seeing the DVD's preservation's of each episode's opening and ending themes, although it's repetitive because they're all the same. The eyecatches are also preserved.

As usual, I'm disappointed that the episode previews were only matched up with their respective previous episode. That means there's no preview for the first episode shown, "Black Panther/My Birthday Pursuit", but there's a preview for "Witch in the Fourth Dimension/Auntie Ballistic", which is in the next DVD, "Mission: Irresistible".

But all in all, if you like the episodes in Thieves' Paradise, then by all means, get it.

What can I say that hasnt been said already, Lupin The 3rd is and will always be one of the best old school anime series ever.

I loved this show based in the comic books of Monkey Punch.It follows the adventures of master thief Lupin the Third nephew of the French Arsene Lupin and his gang composed by Goemon Ishikawa a master samurai and Deitsuke Jigen a cold blooded gunman.Sometimes joins to the band Fujiko Mine a bussom beautiful lady expert in conning and also thieving.Where the most valuable or expensive treasure or antique is Lupin the Third and his gang trying to rob it.The Dvd has 5 episodes that are in order as they originally broadcasted with the preview and even the commercials break.The series are well translated and the voices of the dubbers are quite similar to original japanese.The only flaw in this Dvd is that the English subtitles are the translation of the Japanese version not the English dubbed version.Sound and picture quality are more than average.I will wait for next volume.

It's true. James Bond doesn't even come close. Lupin is cool, funny, and of course, has Fujiko around to make things look better. This batch of episodes is worth getting just for Lupin in Paradise, an amazingly funny episode. In that episode, Lupin comes across a village full of women who want more than Lupin's love. This DVD is worth adding to your collection. The episodes are from the late 1970s, so the animation's not great, but that doesn't matter because everything else is outstanding. Pick up the movie The Castle of Cagliostro while you're at it too.
