Howdy folks, so Tuesday was evil brain
issues, yesterday I had to grab a nerve block shot and host my first
visited podcast for Rotten Ramblin' On. That is getting processed
right now so hopefully the director Dustin Ferguson and his friends,
family and co-workers have a good time with it. That being said,
back to the anime. Today's flick we follow the legendary thief Lupin
the third, with Jigen getting into typical mischief as they are out
for treasure, the Little Comet. This is Lupin the 3rd:
Jigen's Gravestone.

Partnered up for the latest gig, Lupin
and Jigen are catching up after Fujiko Mine,
Jigen has just left a bodyguard engagement where the queen of
fictional land of West Doroa, was killed by a sniper that has a
gravestone issued for each of his victims before he kills them.
Lupin and Jigen give chase for this assassin they discovered is Yael
Okuzaki has left a headstone for Jigen. The clock is tickling, our
assassin is hot on their trail taking his time and playing with his
opponent for the simple fact he really gets a challenge let alone a
fellow professional to combat with. He also lets fate decide how
many bullets he will use rolling a six-sided die to determine how
many shots will be needed.
This film has kind
of a different from the typical heist film, we have some great
shootouts, an excellent car chase and well a sort of slip and slide
and downright filthy dance and BDSM number with Fujiko with some sort
of bot, lubricants and metallic tentacles. Yeah folks, this is
definitely NOT for the kiddies. Pops or Inspector Zenigata does
not get a huge part in the particular film and that irked me so.

Shockingly enough
Fujiko is at the very castle after Little Comet and the dirt on East
Doroa's effects in social, political and economic offering info in
kick backs, pay offs and all sorts of incrimination but...Fujiko gets
abducted several men in elaborate masks that drop her in with said
robot for whatever warped hentai scenario was on the rise. Now why
Goemon is not around for this outing is being me. Guess the
swordmaster had other things to do this time.
Can Lupin save his
friends, get the try and find out who hired Okuzaki thus putting a
stop to him? It's a pretty tall order but hey, it's Lupin.
The story's
overall vibe follows the Monkey Punch traits of perversion on Lupin's
behalf, some light comedy interspersed with drama, some action and
good times to be had.
As a fan of the
franchise, I took away that this was more geared towards adults and
really allows for future takes and continuation. It's got a decent
story, the action is packed and a good steady pace for the film.
Our Japanese and English voice cast know what they're doing giving
each signature character the nearest equivalent of that of the series
has been. Not a bad flick so dig up Jigen's Gravestone when you
have the chance.
