I think the second Lupin series strikes a good balance between wackiness and playing it straight, while this movie and what I've seen of season three are a bit too loose for my tastes. <br /><br />Like you said, the story's a mess, which really hurt this movie for me. Looks great, though.wahhttp://analoghousou.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825377624121060306.post-24580658815416250812011-11-18T17:43:56.093-04:002011-11-18T17:43:56.093-04:00I have to say there are some good stuff on anime f...I have to say there are some good stuff on anime from the '70s and '80s. Mostly from TMS/A Pro, but yeah. Anime is pretty capable of funny stuff. Amazing since the production schedule is much, much more tight than America's.<br /><br />Shows that even with the limited time and money, you can still get something good out of it.Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741995395720022279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825377624121060306.post-49523462396751589912011-11-18T08:15:53.191-04:002011-11-18T08:15:53.191-04:00I was already curious about this film because it w...I was already curious about this film because it was somehow co-directed by Seijun Suzuki (Branded to Kill etc) which can probably explain some of the strangeness. I never actually expected it to be interesting for its animation but it looks great!

Even if he didn't do the storyboarding, I'd say it's still pretty much his movie, in terms of look. I didn't realize he was also the layout supervisor.Aaron Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389783349170248351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825377624121060306.post-63654541528087948752011-11-17T12:33:48.372-04:002011-11-17T12:33:48.372-04:00Great post, Aaron!

I don't think I appreciated the film's animation many years ago when I watch it. Now I look at it and can't get enough of it and wish there were more that looked like this. One correction, turns out I was wrong about him storyboarding the film. He was only the character designer, animation director and layout supervisor. Someone else did the storyboarding.Benhttp://www.pelleas.net/aniTOPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1825377624121060306.post-87907677822364302982011-11-15T16:33:41.044-04:002011-11-15T16:33:41.044-04:00I *must* use Flyswatter of Death in some way, ASAP...I *must* use Flyswatter of Death in some way, ASAP.

Although from the still I saw (as well as that opening) it looks like a nice change of pace from the stiffs I used to watch.ADChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13887460454393961008noreply@blogger.com
