Lupin the IIIrd the Movie: The Immortal Bloodline
LUPIN THE IIIRD THE MOVIE 不死身の血族
Lupin III and his friends head for the Bermuda Sea, aiming for a "mysterious island" that does not exist on the world map. The goal is to uncover the identity of the mastermind who has been sending assassins to the island and to uncover the vast treasure that is hidden there. However, just as they approach the island, their plane is shot down by snipers, and the group crash-lands on an island of death. What they find there is an end-of-the-world landscape of piles of decaying weapons and nuclear missiles, and "garbage men" who were once used as weapons but have been discarded, roaming the streets. The island is shrouded in fog, filled with a poison that can kill within 24 hours, and there is no escape. The ruler of the island, Muom, is determined to rule the world by selection and elimination under the banner of immortality. Faced with a "deathless enemy" who cannot be killed with a gun or a sword, Lupin puts his past, and his pride as a thief on the line in a battle of wits. Will Lupin be able to steal everything within 24 hours and escape the island alive? (Source: Lupin Wiki)

The best Koike Lupin I thought. It goes in the direction of being more a thriller than a caper even more than the rest of them but does it well with tight action and serious suspense. We get to see a lot of World War II/early Cold War era weaponry which was cool and in particular the dogfight at the beginning was very classic Lupin III. The island setting where most of the movie takes place was neat with a lot of variety in its settings. The way the backgrounds are drawn – very clearly computer generated, yet still detailed –works to give the island a particular character and contrasts well with the more traditional looking character figures. The plot is good enough – they do a good job of making the villain seem very strong, every returning character gets some time in the sun, it ties into the previous Koike entries well and in a potentially interesting way to some much older ones. Not something that’s going to set the world on fire or worth calling a hidden gem but most recent anime movies are clearly worse than this.
