| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Novel idea, but the short runtime killed it. Fanservice galore though. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| This special was such a treat! I loved this little trip down the memory lane, even though that alternate future in which Fujiko, Jigen, and Goemon aren't Lupin's friends was a bit painful, especially Jigen's condition. But I loved how even so they were still drawn to each other in those circumstances, and Lupin was sure to make those two pay leaving them behind like that in that time period. lol |

| This special has some interesting concepts, but fails to do anything truly unique. Seeing CGI cars in Lupin really hurts. There's a reason why Lupin III: Part I writing never really stuck around. It didn't age well. This special tries to emulate it, but fails ultimately. In short, don't try to make sense of the Lupin timeline, it doesn't work. 6/10 PROS: - Having any Lupin is better than no Lupin - Premise is unique - A few jokes were funny CONS: - Lackluster animation - Poor use of all of it's characters - Executed as a generic time travel plot |

Yeah there was one shot of Zenigata chasing Lupin through the time hole and it panes out and you just see an awkward CGI Zenigata arm out the window waving and it was atrocious. |
| Too bad a lot of the original voice actors for the villains had passed away before this was released. Green jacket is my favorite ever though so I'm always up for seeing these guys though. A fast and loose green jacket plot is unfortunately still better than most of the nonsensical and lazy entries in the Lupin universe. |
| This is just like the first episode of Lupin III ever, except Goemon is in it Glad to see Mr.X still alive and kicking after being kicked three times xD I remember Mamo Kyousuke and his time machine too Haha that T-Rex reminds me of a game called Red Alert 2 What a big fanservice Or so I thought, it's actually really decent for a plot Why only one episode? It's so good :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| That was fun overall. A good watch! Kinda ridiculous having the voice actor of Megure (Detective Conan) in this as Mr. X lol |
| I enjoyed the OVA and it was a nice little call back to Lupin III Part 1. |

The CG is literally Berserk 2016 bad.. I did see that special. While it wasn't great by any means, it was better than this. I do recall the bad CGI, notably the shots of hands playing the piano. While that was certainly bad, the rest of the special was decent enough. I'd rate that one a 7/10. |

| This especially deserved to be a longer special to establish themes better and give a better nostalgic trip. I would've loved to seen a more extended alternative reality, not just about Goemon being the wanted one but Lupin is also unrecognized by the world of being a thief. Would've been fun to see, but alas, this special did well with it's run time, can't say I'm disappointed by it. Could've done a lot more with an extra 30-60 minutes on it though, and would've preferred that a lot more than some of the other specials we've seen pumped out in recent years. |
| I like the runtime as is, this is a nice constrained affair. Perhaps they knew not a lot of people had seen all of Lupin, so this was perfect for about as much as my patience could take. Interesting idea and celebration of the 50th anniversary and all. |
