I've into interest for the Lupin The III anime (80's). I was excited to see a crossover movie was released this year! When I began to watch it, I was heavily disappointed that Lupin doesn't get as much screen time was I expected.
The Cat's Eye thieves remind me too much of annoying side characters given a major role. The animation for their 'cool moves' are lame! Theyre regarded as pros, but their clumsy and at very stupid, not a all what Cat's eye has stood by whatsoever. Lupin finds their underground basement with no issue, the girls lose to him like nothing, only with a warning/some gun shots and another man ( Mr. Berger) tells them to lay off as 'He's dangerous'. Lupin is heavily missing his charm/looks. No longer being a charming guy, he feels so bland and lacking of his original personality! Plus his character design/face are shaped more towards Cat eye's universe rather than a mix of both. (It was bothersome).
Don't get me started on the plot.. Cat's eye is looking for their father, to which they need the paintings for to be in search for him. Lupin needs the paintings for maps in seach for Nazi treasure? (Quiet confusing..) I felt as though this movie heavily missed out, and they didn't even try making it good for the supposed anniversary (50th and 40-ish).
Do I suggest watching this? No. If you like Lupin/Cat's eye, this movie is probably not for you. It missed out, did many errors throughout, and is hard to follow/get interested in the plot. It shames both cartoons majorly!
