Lupin Ikka Seizoroi is a ten minute long special that was on the 40th Anniversary blu-ray set. Despite being fairly short, it's quite enjoyable, and should hold a special place in any longtime Lupin fan's heart: it's the last piece that the original voice cast did together. The story, while minimal, is charming and does a wonderful job of illustrating each character. The art is fantastic. You can really appreciate the effort put into it, and the colors and scenes were close to breathtaking. The soundtrack is ever memorable, though nothing new. And of course, each member of the primary ensemble makes their appearance. Zenigata's parts are written with aplomb, and the man in the iron mask was a great touch that genuinely had me guessing until the end. While nothing extravagant, Lupin Ikka Seizoroi is endearing and a fully worthwhile addition to the Lupin franchise. Though it's hard to come by, if you have an opportunity to view this snippet, I'd recommend it.
