In this mostly text based landscape, news of a brand new Lupin film being directed by the original manga author Monkey Punch ignited the Lupin fan base.
The action sequences are also equally impressive featuring some beautiful sequences that combine high-energy action with the comedic touches the manga series is known for.
However, the film is held up by most Lupin fans as the closest return to the original manga roots since the first animated film Mamo.
Funimation released the film on DVD individually and in their “First Haul” bundle of five Lupin titles.
