Lupin III: O Primeiro

I grew up watching Lupin and even reading the mangas. I can see how the movie has missed certain beats that makes most quality Lupin outings "Lupin", but honestly I was just hit with a vibe that didn't take me out of enjoying this. It still feels like Lupin, the banter is pretty close and all the cheese and humor is pretty on point too. It's not the best Lupin, but it's definitely not disappointing. Also, that animation is bananas. 👍🏻

I heard a lot of people comparing this one to THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO-- quite a high standard. While I don't think LUPIN THE FIRST quite hits that lofty mark, it is a solid feature-length entry in the series. Like the original Red Jacket series, this movie is marked by slapstick and Indiana Jones style adventure. The more emotional elements of the script (represented by the Lettitia character) are rather conventional, but they work and never bog down the breakneck pacing. The animation looks pretty good on the whole, with the designs of these iconic characters transferring well to CG, though sometimes certain movements seemed to lack weight behind them-- and no, it wasn't during the comedic moments either. But still, this is a fun adventure I would recommend to Lupin fans, though if you've never seen a Lupin movie before, you're probably better off being introduced to this amazing franchise via CAGLIOSTRO or THE MYSTERY OF MAMO.

Graphics and animations are amazing I wish to see all other movies with with high budget 3D animation like this... thanks to production

I had never seen anything related to Lupin III before watching this movie, so this was my first experience with the franchise, and I was very impressed. Above all, the animation and art style of this movie is fantastic. The original character designs are perfectly translated into 3D. The music is also fantastic, providing a great adventure-y feel to the story. The story itself isn't groundbreaking, but it is great for newcomers to Lupin like me. It does a great job in just the first few minutes showing each of the main character's personalities through the beautiful anime opening-style beginning. Overall, I would gladly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good, fun time, and I can't wait to see what else Lupin III has to offer

The animation was amazing! The voices and characters were just like the show! The plot was very tight with very few loopholes. I was expecting something less well done because Lupin isn't an extremely famous anime, but this shattered my expectations. An hour and a half you wont regret spending :)
