The Lupin III special is a gritty action movie with similar art style, great fight choreography, use of poisoning as a plot device which lends itself to the tragedy of characters' backstories to flesh them out and humanize their emotional struggle (and even a symbolic final fight along gold). It's set in modern times, but its feel is extremely similar to Ninja Scroll
