Lupin III: Lupin Ansatsu Shirei

Inspector Zenigata has been removed from the Lupin case which leaves him despondent, and he ends up drinking with Lupin & Jigen. Lupin decides that he and his gang should work with Zenigata to solve his new case, investigating a group of arms dealers known as Shot Shell. Lupin gathers his partners together (Jigen, Goemon, & Fujiko), and with Zenegata they steal a Russian submarine. They kidnap a scientist named Karen Korinsky to help them operate the sub, and also to protect her from Shot Shell. Meanwhile the ICPO assigns a man named Keith Hayden to the Lupin case, and unlike Zenigata he wants Lupin and his group dead. Where ever Lupin and friends go, Keith follows, as the officer attempts to pick them off one by one.

The story is mostly about weapons of mass destruction, but there's a side plot for character development woman having a vendetta against Jigen. In the one Jigen and Fujiko get a lot of light, and don't waste it. I really enjoyed Fujiko in this one! She was dependable and had their backs the whole time!

Goemon shows up for his usual random reasons and teams up with Zenigata for a little while, which was fun, though we don't see much of it. Zeni and Goemon seemed to get along, and Zeni really cares about Goemon just like he cares about Lupin, Jigen, and Fujiko even though ... he and the samurai don't see each other as much.

Character development woman is steadfast and not anxious about what's going on and the situation she's in. She seems pretty chill aside from having it out for the gunner, and she kicked all the way in when shit hit the fan. She doesn't always know how she feels but she knows to act, which safes the groups lives up until the end. She's not jumpy like most of the cdw I've seen so far.

The art kind of fails, and I think this one has some mute parts to it. Like it's missing sound effects in some places, or the lip sinking is a little off in some places.

I would recommend this to Lupin fans and people new to anime.

Lupin III: Voyage to Danger

Zenigata is fired and cant chase Lupin anymore.
So in order to help him get his job back Lupin decides to help him take down an evil arms-dealing corporation.
At the same time Zenigata’s replacement is chasing them and is not afraid to use lethal force.

Something from Jigen’s past also plays an important role in the story. Involving a friend and that friend’s daughter.

Its great to see Zenigata and Lupin working together.
The thing with Jigen’s past and the girl was interesting. But ended kinda stupidly.
... Fujiko doesn’t betray her friends. And is very seductive.

Overall a good movie.

Mixed Feelings

Voyage to Danger (Orders to Assassinate Lupin) is a very forgettable special.

The plot of this movie involves Lupin and his gang being in a submarine for twenty minutes, with little to no conflict. It's immensely boring. After this, the movie takes place on an evil guy's militarized headquarters in a jungle. The evil guy wants the submarine so he can fire nukes at people.

Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko, and Goemon at the very least are treated decently in this. They act like their usual fun loving, money loving selves. One plus side in this very generic movie, is that the Lupin gang end up being nicer ... to each other than they often do. Fujiko is especially nice in this one, and of course she brings that sex appeal to the table, which helps. These classic characters are the best part of this story.

Inspector Zenigata is a complete joke in this one, he gets no respect. He's been taken off the Lupin case, so he just gets drunk and depressed, and even hangs out with the Lupin gang. At one point he wears an apron and acts like the Lupin gang's butler. This is very out of character, and pretty much sacrilege, though I admit it's a bit amusing.

The movie does have an enjoyable action climax though, and a nice ending.

All in all, this is on the lower end of the Lupin spectrum. For me, it was worth sitting through for some fun moments between the Lupin gang. If you're not a Lupin completist, this one is very skippable.
