Lupin The First - Anime Review

As I’m a big fan of the Lupin franchise, I firstly would like to say that this movie is a personal favourite anime movie of mine. The Lupin gang is back in this movie, with Laetita joining the Lupin gang, in a movie about archaeology. As this movie is 3DCG, I was put off by this at first, but I then embraced the 3DCG animation. As this anime movie is 3DCG, it is very good to excellent IMO. As Lupin the 3rd is generally an adult film (mainly due to Fujiko’s fanservice), this film I felt was a great family film, but Fujiko’s character was still on point, which the fanservice.

As this film is basically bloodless, IMO Lupin and Laetita made the film work, due to their chemistry together. I thought that this anime film was great, and this movie IMO reminded me alot of Lupin: Castkle of Cagliostro. I thought that the plot, comedy and drama was excellent, and this movie is a great recommendation IMO for people looking for the iconic characters, that enjoy a great adventure together.
