Your Anime Sucks - Lupin III: Series One - Review

This week, I attempted to steal something of grave importance, but instead just wound up reviewing the original 1971 Lupin III tv series. So join me on an epic journey of bad disguises, stealin' strange stuff and inexplicable F1 race participation. I was still getting over a heavy cold when I recorded this, so apologies if it sounds like my voice is failing me.

So whats up with the title "Your Anime Sucks"?

[Areashiftybun]

@tonylin2 Fair question. Mostly, I just liked the sound of it, but it also kind of amused me, seeing as I rarely talk about things which actually suck. Most people get that it's ironic, so I've stuck with it.

Watched this dubbed to spanish back in the 90s, awesome stuff. The episode of Lupan scaping jail is the best of the series, IMO

[Areashiftybun]

@Kirb Yeah, not sure I'd say it was my favourite from the series, but the prison one was a really good episode.

At 8:26 there's a quick cameo of Hayao Miyazaki (left) and Yasuo Otsuka (right background). Also, that's the Miyazaki Clan again at 8:37, including wife Akemi Ota (herself an accomplished and pioneering animator) and son Goro. Small world! Thanks for the video review, I'm a big fan of the original Lupin III series, and can't wait for the US DVD release this spring.  I'll be posting this on Ghibli Blog later tonight, so many thanks!

[Areashiftybun]

@gamesDAMNED No worries :) I figured it was Hayao Miyazaki in the Citroen right enough, but I'd no idea that Otsuka appeared as well, much less the rest of Miyazaki's family! I think that was the last episode right enough, so they probably just wanted to have some fun with it.

@Motsenschadt Thanks, that's nice of you to say so. Too bad I'm actually from Glasgow >.<
