I'd seen a couple of the TV episodes from the 2nd season that Miyazaki Hayao wrote and directed. So it was a shock seeing this old Lupin! Be warned, there is a lot of killing that goes on and Fujiko is forced to lose her top. The animation is very old, so don't expect much there. A couple of items of note. First, there is no Goemon in this episode. Second, Inspector Zenigata is quite the good speed racer as is Lupin since both entered the race. I found this to be an interesting piece of Zenigata's character which I've not seen in other movies. |
