Funky.[br][br]A rather well thought out and involved science fiction story superimposed onto a borderline original backdrop (for it's time?). Unfortunately, it wandered a bit too much, and seemed dimorphic in it's execution.[br][br]Art monketry was genuinely good. Very clean, effective and smooth movements, transitions and so on. Character designs had the good kind of polished retro look to them, and backdrops, while less than exciting had a lot of thought put into them. But, having been weaned on more modern fare, it was not actually to my liking, despite being beyond competent.[br][br]Sound is at best the good side of mediocre. Little in the way of excellence in any element of contention. Voice actors did convey enthusiasm, and were generally effective for their roles, but a bit too much of the constipated villain stock character got through their efforts.[br][br]As prestated, the story is clever, but it seems to have been written before anything remotely resembling Lupin was going to be used to tell it. The ending's twist being about the only element that justifies the Lupin label (but by Dorn does it do it well). The anachronisms were amusing to watch admittedly, but the underlying sci-fi bend was not too well served, simply because Zenigata was involved. The other niggle is that, while the broad picture is fairly well done, a few important details tend to be left out. Not too many mind, and I should like to think, given the way that imminent revelations were handled, that they simply had to edit them out for time and space.[br][br]Progression of the plot is synchronous with character development, which is good because the bulk of characters who get significant screen time have not been seen before, and its a shame they got so efficiently fleshed out and will never be seen again.[br][br]Now as an exercise in story telling, this offering is elevated to noteworthy, but thats about it. This justification could be used for re-watching, but I'd like to think that time is better served on some sequel or other. [br][br]In summation;[br]1. Clever[br]2. A bit too serious for Lupin[br]3. Not too far-reaching, but a bit sparse on detail.[br][br]So worth watching, possibly whilst in company whilst mildly drunk.[br]
