Lupin III: Dead or Alive

Rupan sansei: Dead or Alive" is a good film in the Lupine III saga. Now we have an intriguing adventure on an island Aside from the opening fight scene, it's what you might call a "clean" film. It's definitely not Miyazaki directing the film, but it's still good I complain that it's a little slower than the others in the series Watch it or rent it.it's cute and may not be very hard to find (although I had a hard time looking for anime, I saw this translated into Spanish so maybe this isn't hard to find in English this movie will be one of the best Lupine III movies for me is to conclude with a score of 9.

"Rupan sansei: Dead or Alive" is a nice movie of the Lupin III saga. Now we got an intriguing adventure on an island.

Besides a fight scene at the beggining, it's what one would call a "clean" movie. Definitely is not Miyazaki the ones who is directing the movie, but, anyway, it's well.

I'd complain that it's a bit slower than others of the series.

Watch it or rent it. It's nice and may be not very difficult to find (although I've had hard times looking for anime, I watched this one translated to Spanish, so maybe this one's not hard to get in English).

8/10

"Dead or Alive" is your typical Lupin III adventure. If you are watching a lot of these, this one may blend together with some of the others. They all follow a very similar recipe. But if you like the ingredients, there is nothing wrong with having some more of the same.

The story follows along Lupin and the gang as they try to, what else, steal a super valuable treasure. This time around the treasure is on a super sophisticated booby-trapped island. If anyone goes to access the vault they are pursued by endlessly respawning spears that follow the intruders. Lupin and crew retreat and try to formulate a new plan.

Meanwhile, Fujiko has infiltrated an evil warlord's base of operation. She is trusted to watch after the disobedient daughter. I'm sure these two separate storylines will not interact at all.

Speaking of, the opening action set piece has little to nothing to do with the main adventure. It is just a cool action opening for the sake of getting the adventure started.

The movie has some good animation, cool action and fun character interactions. If you haven't seen any Lupin III movie before this one is a fine enough one to start off with. It introduces you to all these characters well enough and is a good sample of the series.

Looks like the Lupin Franchise still has some life in it after all these years.

Lupin iii film 8

Despite the different art style, which isn't bad by any means, this is a great film. Interesting story and lots of action. Zenigata this time around is more serious in capturing Lupin, and is actually successful. Overall there's more action and seriousness than funny parts but it's a movie that I recommend. It's a 7.5 for me.

Now I have to exceed the limit: Despite the different art style, which isn't bad by any means, this is a great film. Interesting story and lots of action. Zenigata this time around is more serious in capturing Lupin, and is actually successful. Overall there's more action and seriousness than funny parts but it's a movie that I recommend.

One of the best Lupin films along with 'The Castle of Cagliostro' (my favourite) and 'Farewell to Nostradamus'. Really like most of the Lupin films though, my least favourite and the only disappointing one being 'Gold of Babylon'.

'Lupin: Dead or Alive' may not be quite as entertaining as 'The Castle of Cagliostro' or as bold as 'The Secret of Mamo' or 'Farewell to Nostradamus', but it is a very good film in its own right and serves Lupin well. It doesn't quite have the energy as some of the previous Lupin films pacing wise and there are a few parts that have little to do with the story and seemed there for padding purposes.

The animation however is great. The characters' designs have more finesse than in 'Farewell to Nostradamus' and 'The Secret of Mamo' and are not as ugly or underwhelming as 'Gold of Babylon' and there is a lot of polish, with the attention to detail in the action and backgrounds being particularly impressive. The action is exciting and suspenseful.

'Dead or Alive' ends satisfyingly, with things wrapped up neatly without being too pat. The music is dynamic and fitting.

Although not as humour-heavy as the other Lupin films, the humour is present and it is funny. The writing is also thought-provoking and taut. The story is gripping, if not quite as eventful or as vibrantly paced as the previous film, and doesn't forget to be fun or tense.

We have a high in charisma lead character in Lupin, a good villain, Jigen and Goemen having entertaining roles and the film brings the best out of Fujiko and Zenigata. Voice acting is good.

Overall, very good. 8/10 Bethany Cox
