Lupin III: Seven Days Rhapsody

Lupin wants a giant diamond, and he helps out a teenage girl along the way. Plot isn't what makes Lupin great though, it's the entertaining dynamic between the classic characters.

Lupin and Jigen have a lot of fun "best friends" comedy in the beginning, including a hilarious scene where they play with puppets. This is contrasted by them then taking opposing missions, and having a conflict of interest. Lupin and Jigen always have a great dynamic, and there are some nice twists to it in this one.

Goemon is great in this. We get to see a duo of him and Lupin for a change, which is fun to see. We also get Goemon working with Fujiko and putting up with her entertaining shenanigans. Plenty of enjoyable comedy situations for Goemon here.

Fujiko is fun and hot in this one, like usual, and she gets plenty of screen time. When she gets mad, things get entertaining.

Inspector Zenigata is hilarious, always one step behind the Lupin gang, but he takes a bit of a back seat in this one.

The presentation is top notch here. Very slick animation, attractive character designs (especially for Fujiko), and a great jazz soundtrack by Yuji Ohno. And needless to say, all the voice actors are great.

This is a fun Lupin adventure with a very cool vibe, great comedy, and plenty of thrills. Check this stylish anime out.

So for all this time there has only been one person who has reviewed this film and I am the second to write it but I am the first to write the negatives because I didn't like this film at all but this time this was truly one of the worst films ofLupine III because he really has a lot of things that are not going well at all he has a banal story the villains Not interesting But the truly worst thing about this film The character of Michelle who for me was truly the worst character of this film is in this film Lupine mustto be his bodyguard I swear to you I didn't know how to appreciate this character at all Michelle this was truly a much more annoying character we've ever met But the worst thing about Michelle And when she slaps Lupine Che This movie looks badFor me it is better to avoid to conclude rating 4-

Lupin iii film 26

In this adventure for the diamond, the story has all the characters divided with common interests, Lupin with Michelle against Jigen, Goemon working for Fujiko. Eventually they all end up reunited which is a quite cool moment. It's not the best, I'd say it's a pretty forgettable film, but still a fun watch.

Things seem a bit off in this Lupin III movie. All the characters are making very out of pocket decisions. Jigen gets into gunfights with Lupin. Why is Jigen fighting Lupin? Well, because Jigen signed a contract and is now legally obligated to fight him. What?

Goemon is stealing a bunch of diamonds with a Shop Vac for Fujiko. Why? Because she is paying him more money than Lupin.

And even Zenigata is painted far more incompetent, and seems to be chasing after Lupin because... he's in love with him?

There isn't much action in the film. And the ending feels so rushed that I think they just ran out of runtime so wrapped things up as quickly as they could.

But, to end on the positives. It does have some great jokes. And at least Lupin seems to still be acting in character.

Much like the diamond in the film, this movie is just a replica of something much better.
