| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Not bad, not bad at all. I like the animation style of this adaptation since I wasn't too fond of The Woman Called Fujiko Mine's artwork. Action was alright but I liked the way the OST plays in the background. Seems like Lupin gets himself into trouble again like usual lol. Overall, it was a fun ride. I wasn't too fond of Yutika although some of her fighting styles surprised me.

| Personally I loved "The Woman Called Fujiko Mine" artwork, but "Princess of the Breeze" wasn't bad at all. Those shiny-glimmery eyes of Lupin caught my heart and didn't want to let go ;) I'm still fresh to Lupin franchise, but I think I overally get the idea behind major characters alreadyy and their portayal was fine by me. Secondary characters (aside from Ziva and Camilla) were seriously lacking though. Yutika would be fine with a little more background story, Rasha and Shion just were (not to mention Shion's completely illogical issues in the end). But it was fun, so 7 in the end. If other specials prove to be better, then maybe I will change to 6. |
| Great Lupin III special, totally enjoyed this movie. I'm confused about one thing though..., isn't Yutika the older sister of Rasha? Which would mean that she would be the Queen now that Shion is dead. Why was she an imperial guard and her sister the queen? :S |
  |
| Rasha still doesn't know and Yutika didn't want the throne in favor for her old comrades. At least that's how I see it. |
| @sukanime, I started with Fujiko Mine and then watched vs. Detective Conan special. Then went to some shorts and currently preparing for the first TV season. I'm definitely going to watch the whole franchise in the future because, well, that's a classic and I like that unique ganster + adventure style also Jigen, why so hot. And I'm pretty sure some I will stumble across better specials looking at how "only okay" is Princess of the Breeze in certain places. Cheers to you! |
| Great special! Definitely an improvement from 2012's special, which I didn't really like. Jigen was also badass as always, he will always be my favorite character. I think my favorite scenes were definitely those from the bar. Both hilarious and pretty exciting. Also, the ending song has an incredibly familiar melody. Sounds like something out of a Ghibli movie, but I can't recall which one... |
| I think the ending song was from Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro, but I'm not sure. If any of you guys haven't watched it, it's really worth watching. Best Lupin movie I've ever seen. |
| Eh, this one wasn't exciting at all... The baby wasn't even cute, and was that "filled" diaper really necessary? Shion's hatred felt so misdirected too. It isn't explained in detail how the coup d'état went down, but why would he hate his country and its people when they were, presumably, only being used? And why didn't he want the world to know about the baby if he wasn't important to the plot at all besides the fact that he ate the key to the treasure? At least Yutika was kind of cool, and I love that Goemon went back to Japan twice just to buy a traditional toy and some konpeito to the baby, the world doesn't deserve him. Fujiko didn't have much screen time unfortunately, but I liked the brief scene in which she fights against Lupin using a whip, it's a really cool weapon and it would be nice to see her using it more. The karma guy was creepy, but he couldn't win against Goemon, and Jigen after he had a bit of help from the baby to come back to his senses. And this is a nitpick, but why is it always Lupin I who left something written and never Lupin II? Was Lupin's father's adventures so boring/perfect that he never felt the need to leave something for his son? xD Welp, all that trouble for a corkscrew and a whole lot of treasure/"soul" wasted, huh. Oh, and the CGI with the vehicles was bad. |
