Lupin III: Lupin Ansatsu Shirei

Inspector Zenigata has been removed from the Lupin case which leaves him despondent, and he ends up drinking with Lupin & Jigen. Lupin decides that he and his gang should work with Zenigata to solve his new case, investigating a group of arms dealers known as Shot Shell. Lupin gathers his partners together (Jigen, Goemon, & Fujiko), and with Zenegata they steal a Russian submarine. They kidnap a scientist named Karen Korinsky to help them operate the sub, and also to protect her from Shot Shell. Meanwhile the ICPO assigns a man named Keith Hayden to the Lupin case, and unlike Zenigata he wants Lupin and his group dead. Where ever Lupin and friends go, Keith follows, as the officer attempts to pick them off one by one.

Lupin III: Voyage to Danger

Zenigata is fired and cant chase Lupin anymore.
So in order to help him get his job back Lupin decides to help him take down an evil arms-dealing corporation.
At the same time Zenigata’s replacement is chasing them and is not afraid to use lethal force.

Something from Jigen’s past also plays an important role in the story. Involving a friend and that friend’s daughter.

Its great to see Zenigata and Lupin working together.
The thing with Jigen’s past and the girl was interesting. But ended kinda stupidly.
... Fujiko doesn’t betray her friends. And is very seductive.

Overall a good movie.

[THIS WAS WRITTEN RIGHT AFTER WATCHING IT AND ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA ACC. KEEPING THIS HERE FOR AN ARCHIVE]
I REALLY LIKED THIS ONE !!!!!!! The plot was fun the characters were fun it was just a really good time. The character designs in this one were also super nice and again some of my new favorites. This one was basically just “the gang steals a nuclear warhead filled submarine just for shits n giggles” it’s a very engaging premise
The movie girl this time was p interesting too and definitely one of the better ones (that’s not saying that much tho tbf). She wasn’t annoying so ... she’s high on my movie girl tier list.
Not a whole lot to say abt voyage to danger other than it was just really fun! Makes me think of some kind of wacky part 2 episode but stretched into a feature length film.
I give it an 8/10

Mixed Feelings

The most fundamental problem with Lupin III movies is that they almost never seem to be able to justify their runtime. Lupin III was written for television, and so—as exceptions to the short and sweet episodic formula of the series—these films always end up needing to pad out the runtime with tiresome and predictable twists and turns. Yes it’s nice to see Masaaki Osumi’s return to the series in his only Lupin feature film, and yes his direction is just as sharp as it was in Part I, but the only directors who have truly been able to make Lupin neatly fit in film format ... (to my knowledge) have been Miyazaki and Koike. Still, Osumi is no amateur, and this is certainly one of the better films in the franchise. The first half is excellent, and the character interactions are great, but unfortunately it just goes on for a bit too long.
