Johnny-the-Film-Sentinel-2187 Review of Lupin the 3rd

Lupin the 3rd (1977–1980)

A good anime that's still watchable in spite of its dated animation.

[9/10 · 16 July 2018]

Lupin the Third: Part II is a classic in the field of Japanese animation: the title character's become an internationally famous gentleman-thief who's become Japan's equivalent of Batman. I love this franchise and the title character certainly lives up to his grandfather: Arsène Lupin. It's like a half-hour equivalent of James Bond movies, Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible mixed in with Scooby-Doo and Bugs Bunny.

I love this franchise and the characters are milestones in the world of anime; and of course Cowboy Bebop owes a tonne to this classic alone.
