I’m happy to review my favorite Lupin III TV special, Episode 0: First Contact. Actually, it’s one of my favorite Lupin features period, and one of my favorite anime movies. It’s got everything I’m looking for in a Lupin feature: a great heist, excellent character balance, spot-on action and comic beats, a living atmosphere, good tone, and enjoyable music. It’s a blast from start to finish, hitting all the right emotional notes. Fortunately, Discotek recently had this dubbed into English and put on Blu-Ray. I jumped at the chance to do a video on this.
So yeah, I actually own a copy of this. The footage comes from the Blu-Ray. Go me.
