Rupan sansei: Gurîn vs Reddo

'GEEN vs RED' is based on the colour of Lupin's jacket which is different depend on each titles. Sometimes he wears red one, and other times he wears green one. Every series has different elements, not only jackets. For instance, his philosophy, rules and even face. Then a lot of people who introduced themselves as Lupin the 3rd gathered from all over the world. Then, this movie asked you which character is true him after all. I really liked this theme! So,to be honest, it was not enough to be satisfied! I want Mamoru Oshii make it again! Originally, it was based on his idea though! If the identification needs the other's recognition, it means that his essence depends on the others. Is the person Lupin truly if the environment like Jigen and Fujiko recognize that he is, isn't he?

Do you know this impressive comic from Junji Ito? People found a lot of holes which has shapes of the human on the wall of a mountain. It seemed to go on and on. People found the same shape of themselves and went into there though. After all, their remains were found. You cannot see them the shapes of human being because of the terrible distortion. It means the shape of holes goes twisting as going on. But their bodies were distorted for the shapes of holes without noticing while going on and on. If you try to be suit for some template, you may become like them. In my opinion, originally it doen't look enjoyable that I won't update myself forever! If you tried something what you're not likey to do at first, it will be stuit to you later. Of course, I'm glad that someone told me 'it's suit to you!' and 'I know you like it!' But I'm more happy to hear that he's surprised with one of my new personality!

Originally, there's no 'regular' Lupin the 3rd.

This OVA celebrates the 40th anniversary of Lupin, and it includes a bunch of nods to previous Lupin anime. Pretty much every criminal on the planet has taken to disguising themselves as Lupin, and we end up seeing pretty much every Lupin character design used, even the pink jacket.

A new main character for this is a guy named Yasuo, named after Lupin's original voice actor, who looks just like Lupin and wears a green jacket.

Meanwhile, the real Lupin in the red jacket and his partner Jigen are doing their thing as always. They're on the run, all sorts of random wackiness happens to them, and there's a constant mob of fake Lupins causing them trouble.

Pretty much, a lot of this is somewhat somber slice-of-life stuff focusing on the Yasuo guy. This is decent stuff, though of course it's kind of odd for a Lupin story.

As for the story, well, it's pretty much just Yasuo competing with Lupin to try and become the "real" Lupin.

Fujiko is only in this briefly, although there are some interesting scenes where Yasuo sees her and it's animated like a psychedelic trip. Goemon pretty much has a cameo role, and Zenigata is great as always.

This is a pastiche, sort of an abstract, arty anime that pays some tribute to that laid back Lupin feel of old. The actual story however is pretty esoteric, and not entirely satisfying.

All in all, this is an interesting anime that is somewhat thought provoking and beautifully animated. While it's not a proper entry in the Lupin series, it's still well put together and worth a watch.

Lupin iii film 1

Very weird Lupin movie. Not bad per se. Has its funny moments but it's more serious. Everyone wants to be Lupin at least once in their lives, that's this movie message, but there's only one. I think there are still better movies on the series.

Now I need to exceed characters for the review so ignore:
