However, in this particular special left a sour taste in my mouth.The question is why? I love the characters, the comedy, the unrealistic gadgets, the fight sequences, the music, and on occasion the villains. Now I believe I am allowed to say I am a fan of the Lupin III franchise. And some fun trivia, Nabeshin of Excel Saga fame directed this special.Īll in all, this is a good Lupin adventure, with some nice attention given to Lupin and Fujiko's always interesting relationship. The original voice acting from these veterans is great as well. Yuji Ohno gives this a very smooth jazz soundtrack of course, with the appropriate intensity added when needed. The main story does get a little shaky by the end though, involving mad scientists and a crazy world domination plot. Inspector Zenigata pops up from time to time, and while he's used sparingly he does get some good laughs. Lupin and Jigen's usual tag-team is put on the backburner in cases like this one though, when a woman needs Lupin's help. Jigen and Goemon both get some good stuff here, Goemon is hilariously eccentric in this one. He has a great villain to comedically own here too, the green jacketed laughing madman, Nazaroff.
There's plenty of great comedy from the man as It's always nice to see that kind of emotion from the world's greatest thief. Lupin is pretty serious a lot of the time in this one, because Fujiko is who he cares about the most. And of course, getting Fujiko's memory back is Lupin's top priority.
The story here is that Fujiko has amnesia, and only she knows where the treasure is. It starts with Lupin and Fujiko up to their usual shenanigans, until they are bombarded by explosions and things get wild. Da Capo of Love: Fujiko's Unlucky Days (The Columbus Files) is a nice Lupin special.
