“Only recently have I stumbled across the Lupin III series, and they have found a way to tag along at the end of my daily routines. Distinct characters, interesting plots, and an unusual sense of anxiety on what could happen next. The first few I had seen were intriguing none the less, but it wasnu0026#39;t until I had seen Farewell to Nostradamus that I had truly been engulfed by this world that Monkey Punch had created.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThese movies are usually very fast paced and chaotic. Farewell to Nostradamus handles this well and succeeds where a lot of the Lupin III spawns blunder, at creating a smooth and climactic story line. There is never a point where the viewer is overloaded with plot material, all while building up to a tense and very satisfying ending.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eQuick synopsis: Lupin III is a sly, suave, and slick international thief.
