Lupin the 3rd - Enchanted Lupin (TV Series, Vol. 10) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The five episodes on this DVD are the final episodes of Season 4 of Lupin III Part II: The Red Jacket Series. What a great way to end a great season! The episodes on this DVD are (translated titles, but the ones on the DVD will be different):
48. Lupin Laughs While the Alarm Bell Rings
49. A Pretty Woman Has Venom
50. Lupin, Whom I Loved (Part 1)
51. Lupin, Whom I Loved (Part 2)
52. Emmanuelle Is an Angel's Whisper
Lots of excellent adventures on this volume. Episodes 50, 51, and 52 are exceptionally good, but episodes 48 and 49 are good as well. It's one of the better ones overall, but Vol. 11, which comes out on July 12, is even better. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys a good mix of action and comedy!

Lupin's next target is the Kentucky Derby's prize money at the Metropolitan Bank. It sounds like an easy project, with one exception-he has to get past its perfect alarm system.For his next little job, Lupin develops an intimate relationship with a wealthy widow to get his hands on her jewelsbut forgets the fact that every beautiful woman has a poisonous thorn. And then, an ordinary scheme turns out to be the most extraordinary incident when Lupin's old girlfriend-who had supposedly died years ago-turns up! In order to uncover what really happened back then, he investigates a secret research lab and is trapped by the ex-Nazi scientist who uses it to turn the dead into zombies. Finally, a 3-way fight erupts when Lupin, Fujiko and the cat-like Emmanuelle Poirot all travel to Thailand to find the scripture of immortality. Will Lupin be able to escape this kitty's deadly claws?

Lupin the 3rd - From Moscow with Love (TV Series, Vol. 11) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In these episodes, the animation is improved from what was shown on adult swim, and there's some interesting character development as well as great plots!
6 entertaining episodes are on this volume.

Episodes on Vol. 11 are (titles are translation of the Japanese titles, actual titles on the DVD might be different):

53. The Mad Fantoma Mark III
54. Detective Hanshichi's Ten-Year Promise
55. Falling Cherry Blossoms - The Mysterious Gang of Five (Part I)
56. Falling Cherry Blossoms - The Mysterious Gang of Five (Part II)
57. Will It Be the Computer or Lupin?
58. The Border Is the Face of Farewell (AKA International Farewell)
Awesome episodes! Goemon challenges Lupin for a duel in the episode "Falling Cherry Blossoms - The Mysterious Gang of Five (Part II)." Jigen gets a little more screen time in "International Farewell." Lupin and Fujiko's relationship is tested in "The Mad Fantoma Mark III." More fun an action in this volume than most previous ones! You can't pass this one up.
The volume has an English dub as well as the original Japanese with English subtitles, so you can see the episodes in their original form if you wish.
Overall an amazing set of episodes that has a lot of surprises and character development that'll make for a wonderful evening of entertainment. This is easily the best volume out of the 11 currently released!

Lupin the 3rd - The World's Most Wanted (TV Series, Vol. 1) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like many of the other reviewers here,I was introduced to Lupin &
company through the anime section of adult swim.I simply loved the charm of the show;the chemistry is all there.Lupin (the gentleman thief) and his wit,Jigen(the marksman) and his dry humor,Fujiko(the femme fatale) and her teasing alure and also Goemon (the samurai) and his fortune cookie-like messages of wisdom."The oak is proud like a man,but the blade is sharp like a woman!"Oh,and let's not forget the obsessive,zany Inspector Ziginata,whose attempts to catch Lupin are always in vain."I'LL GET YOU LUPIN!!"The show may seem a bit simple,and yes the drawings and color a bit dated(it was created in the early 70's),but like Speed Racer(although a bit more naughty!)this classic anime just has that special something that keeps you hooked!
Now for the dvd itself,I was pleased with the voice acting and the subtitle options;I personally watch it in english,as it's aired on adult swim.I'm almost positive that the english voice actress for Fujiko is the same one that does Faye Valentine on Cowboy Bebop and Suzuka on Outlaw Star!(compare them and listen for yourself) Speaking of Miss Fujiko,you get to see ALOT more of her on this dvd if you know what I mean!So no kids...
Yes,the "extras" where pretty lame,but I was just happy to have a nice collection of Lupin to watch whenever I want!If nothing else,I wished Pioneer would have gotten rid of those flimsy extras and instead added another three episodes!
In the end I was happy with my purcahse,and will buy other volumes to watch Lupin and his friends go on all sorts of gold heisting,tomb raiding,bank robbing adventures!

Lupin the 3rd - Thieves' Paradise (TV Series, Vol. 4) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this DVD for two reasons: "The Last Mastery" and "Lupin in Paradise". These are the final two episodes in this DVD and I believe are the best. Man, talk about saving the best for last!
Being used to watching this show on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, I was really pleased in seeing the DVD's preservation's of each episode's opening and ending themes, although it's repetitive because they're all the same. The eyecatches are also preserved.
As usual, I'm disappointed that the episode previews were only matched up with their respective previous episode. That means there's no preview for the first episode shown, "Black Panther/My Birthday Pursuit", but there's a preview for "Witch in the Fourth Dimension/Auntie Ballistic", which is in the next DVD, "Mission: Irresistible".
But all in all, if you like the episodes in Thieves' Paradise, then by all means, get it.
