Lupin III vs. Meitantei Conan

Lupin III vs Detective Conan is a very cool TV special. This crossover between the two long running series is done quite well. There's a story involving a princess in danger, who looks just like Ran. Conan is on the case, and meanwhile Lupin wants to take a crown, which he attempted to steal long ago. This involves a nice flashback to Lupin wearing his classic green jacket, so we get both red and green action in this. The plot is a Detective Conan style murder mystery, and the Lupin gang is added to the mix, bringing their brand of fun. It's a fairly complex plot, butit's goes down smooth. Fujiko kicks ass in this one, she's on the run with the princess, showing her how to have a good time and protecting her. Very cool, fun stuff. Jigen is enlisted as a bodyguard and ends up working with Conan, and there are some very hilarious scenes with these two. Lots of snappy dialogue. Lupin and Conan, they're both doing their thing, they have some action scenes, some fun dialogue moments, and are in fine form here. They have some memorable interactions, very fun stuff. The other regulars like Goemon, Zenigata, and Kogoro all have some fun moments too, mostly just a good gag here and there. The two casts gelled very well together. The animation is smooth, and it's pretty interesting how we have two very different kinds of character designs used for Conan and Lupin characters. It could blend together better, but it's still fun to see. The soundtrack is also done by Lupin's usual Yuji Ohno and also the Conan guy, and it's a fun mix of energetic tunes and smooth jazz. All in all, if you're a fan of Lupin or Conan I'd say you'll enjoy this. It's a fun, very good anime adventure. Check it out.

Love Lupin III? Love Conan? Well this is the perfect movie for you. It combines both elements of Conan and Lupin into one and gives both characters an equal amount of screen time. To be honest I haven’t watched a lot of Conan yet but this did give me a lot more insight into the characters and I understood the film with limited knowledge. Story 10! Lupin III vs Detective Conan had me laughing so many times. There were scenes were Lupin and Detective Conan had to collaborate and there was plenty of banter between the two. It was really interesting how they incorporated tocomplete opposites into one film. Lupin, a thief who steals everything vs the good detective working together. It’s definitely a pretty cool storyline and was well done to combine both elements of each anime. Art 9 ish Well. I’m not one to complain it would be so hard to create a new art style to compliment both Conan and Lupin. Both maintained their own artstyle within the anime. The Conan characters did stick out often due to how the art style is more exaggerated in features like bigger eyes, bigger head ect. It was pretty amazing to see a character like Jigen standing next to someone as small as Conan. It was definitely a big difference haha. They did a good work maintaining those little things and I can understand it would have been hard. So it’s a 9 Sound 10 What can I say? I’m a fan of the Lupin theme. But overall the soundtrack is really nice. Definitely going to give it a listen later Character 9 I mean. These two series are extremely popular in Japan. They are definitely well made characters to begin with. They definitely didn’t fit all the traits of the usual Lupin and gang and Goemon got very little screen time. But they still did well to maintain Lupin and Jigen’s characters really well so I was happy with that. They definitely gave just as much attention to Conan and his gang. We got to see Ran but not so much what her father is like so I guess it’s just they had to focus on specific characters or else it would just go totally off track. They definitely did well but I do wish Goemon got some more screen time. Overall it’s really good! There are a few flaws (and I’m one to be quiet generous to both these series) I enjoyed this film. I probably will give it a rewatch. I have a thing for film crossovers so it was such a thrill to see this one.

Well, And here we are finally over the 200 titles in the completed category. Awesome and so is this movie. Also, this is my 45 review... Do you remember the days, when Conan did not know who Lupin the 3rd is and vice versa?? Ah the good old days, :D As you already understood this movie contain the first encounters of Conan and Lupin as well as his team, Jigen, Sensei, Fujiko... The story is really serious and extraordinary takes us to a fictional country where our little Sherlock Holmes solves a case. Did I mention, Ran has a Doppelgänger? :D This movie has a nice combination of theclassic Art of Lupin Franchise and the design of Detective Conan Anime Movies. This Combination really made this movie one of a kind and really enjoyable, as well as seeing what great of team the character, that in usual circumstances would never cooperate, work together just perfectly in Sync. As a result, Fujiko and Conan has a moment, but Shhh do not tell Lupin... I really recommend watching this movie, although there are some aspects, that is easy to predict right from the beginning, nonetheless, the movie keeps you from blinking you want to watch it till the End.
