- Tailor-made for anyone curious about anime and spy-story fans. It's anime, with all the big emotions and big action that comes with it. Sits nicely alongside Black Clover: Sword of the Wizard King. Nobody is quite who they seem.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Moves at a clip, at 1 hr 32 min.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Researchers unearth a long-lost page of "The Travels of Marco Polo" and discover it's a clue to a lost treasure! Lupin appears to swipe the tablet, but he leaves empty-handed... and as a murder suspect! He shrugs off being framed for the death of an archaeology professor just enough to go treasure-hunting. Tailed by both a weapons dealer and ICPO Inspector Zenigata, Lupin must rely on his gunslinging partner Jigen and the professor's granddaughter Lisa to stay two steps ahead. Meanwhile, the swordsman Goemon rethinks his devotion to the blade and finds romance deep in the mountains. Two tales collide in a worldwide adventure packed with history and laughs!
