Rupan sansei: Tenshi no sakuryaku takutikusu yume no kakera wa koroshi no kaori

Angel Tactics is an outstanding anime adventure starring those lovable criminals, the Lupin gang.

It starts off in fine fashion with Lupin and co. infiltrating Area 51, stealing a potentially alien artifact, and escaping in a UFO for good measure. Much like a classic James Bond opening, it's over the top and a lot of fun, plus here it does tie into the main plot as well.

This time the Lupin gang are up against an all female terrorist organization, the Bloody Angels. They want the artifact from Lupin, and it leads to an engaging story with some nice twists.

Lupin, his trusty sidekick Jigen, his sexy accomplice Fujiko, and his swordsman buddy Goemon all are in top form in this. The fun dynamic between the characters is front and center, and each character has a female terrorist to deal with as well. In Lupin's case, we get an unexpectedly tender story out of it.

Of course Inspector Zenigata is on their tail, and at one point he even flies a fighter jet equipped with missiles! He has some great one on one scenes with Lupin as well, very effective stuff.

Pretty much, this has everything you can ask for in a Lupin tale. Great comedy, cool action, and some solid drama, starring a classic cast of lovable characters. Done with style, terrific animation, and a very cool jazz soundtrack by Yuji Ohno.

Without giving away the story, I'll just say that this is a terrifically done anime that left me very satisfied. Lupin fans or newcomers, check this one out.

Then this film What a Rupped Ball steals a sphere they call original metal made truly from an existing material that not even Ghemon's sword can't cut There are people called Bloody Angels who want to have the sphere So what do I think of this movie ifyou read the title, it was a film with a wasted opportunity that I don't like. The villains in this film are all female and this time they're all female, something that doesn't even happen often. The problem is that these villains aren't written well and aren't even interesting. Not even a Lupine moviethe only one that seemed less worse is the one who wants to kill Lupine and it's the worst part of the film and when Lupine gets kicked in the balls by Fujiko it's a really bad moment and I'm sorry that this film didn't go well and I was the first to write in a negative way not even thisit's not really one of the worst Lupine films to end the rating 5.

I first saw this TV movie of Lupin the 3rd about last year ago. I had to download it off the computer, which is a raw version straight from the Japanese channel it aired from. In other words it had no subtitles or translation. But I watched it even though I've yet to learn Japanese.

Lupin the 3rd: Angel Tactics is a fine and unique TV movie. This time Lupin is up against an all female terrorist group, the "Bloody Angels". The with over a hundred of the most dangerous and tough women on the face of the earth. 4 of the top members of the group pick out their own opponent to kill. And that's right those 4 are Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko.

The whole thing begins when Lupin and his gang plan out the most clever theist. which is stealing Area 51's Alien Metal Sphere. An extraterrestrial metal from beyond the stars. The elements and materials make it so strong that not even Goemon's sword can cut it.

Zennigata is still after Lupin, only this time he's accompanied by yet another partner, Amy(who is very enthusiastic) and a pleasure to work with.

From Nevada to Mayan Islands, & with female villains that kick serious but, Angel Tactics is like a Lupin the 3rd of a different color.

The story is very different from the previous Lupin the 3rd TV movies. There has been female villains in the past, only there's never been one that includes several at once. It has some great moments, funny parts, and plenty of action and thrills. Hardly a dull moment. If it improved some small details, I'd consider it a perfect TV movie.

The original cast is apart of this one, once more. Marks 10 years of having Kanichi as Lupin the 3rd. While the other 4 have been around since the hey days of Lupin.

the animation, probably one of the few things that makes this TV movie great to watch. Cause the animation in it is just perfect. Realistic backgrounds, well drawn characters, and a simple combination of CGI and 2-D animation. And pretty much has the best visuals you'll see in any lupin the 3rd TV movie.

Anyways it's a must for the die hard Lupin the 3rd fans. good luck in finding a fan sub of this one. It be easier in downloading the raw/UN translated version off the internet. Till then, it'll be a while till it's dubbed in English as well as the other pre-2000 TV movies and early TV movies of Lupin the 3rd.

The movie has a compelling hook, very much from Bond's "From Russia with Love". The movie begins with a group of people called "The Bloody Angels" training to kill Lupin III and every member of his gang. As opposed to the villains just wanting the same treasure as Lupin, here they want him dead. And this introduces each member of Lupin's gang with their own personal rival.

This time around the maguffin is "the first metal". It is an alien metal so strong not even Goemon can't seem to cut it.

I understand that I am in an action movie, and some tropes are common to the genre. Some of these tropes are highlighted even more with animation, and even more with Lupin. But man, I have never seen so many bullets fired in a movie and not have a single one hit their target. I kept expecting John McClain to show up and reveal that all their bullets were blanks. It made any standoff with a machine gun lose any tension because you knew that these henchmen cannot hit a thing with their bullets.

The movie does not capitalize on the potential they set up in the opening scene. The maguffin isn't used for anything interesting, it is somehow used for perfume?

If this is an angel, I'm afraid it is a second-class angel.
