Lupin III vs. Detective Conan (TV Movie 2009). 1h 44m

“Lupin III vs Detective Conan is a very cool TV special.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis crossover between the two long running series is done quite well. Thereu0026#39;s a story involving a princess in danger, who looks just like Ran. Conan is on the case, and meanwhile Lupin wants to take a crown, which he attempted to steal long ago. This involves a nice flashback to Lupin wearing his classic green jacket, so we get both red and green action in this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot is a Detective Conan style murder mystery, and the Lupin gang is added to the mix, bringing their brand of fun. Itu0026#39;s a fairly complex plot, but itu0026#39;s goes down smooth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFujiko kicks ass in this one, sheu0026#39;s on the run with the princess, showing her how to have a good time and protecting her. Very cool, fun stuff.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJigen is enlisted as a bodyguard and ends up working with Conan, and there are some very hilarious scenes with these two. Lots of snappy dialogue.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLupin and Conan, theyu0026#39;re both doing their thing, they have some action scenes, some fun dialogue moments, and are in fine form here. They have some memorable interactions, very fun stuff.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe other regulars like Goemon, Zenigata, and Kogoro all have some fun moments too, mostly just a good gag here and there. The two casts gelled very well together.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe animation is smooth, and itu0026#39;s pretty interesting how we have two very different kinds of character designs used for Conan and Lupin characters. It could blend together better, but itu0026#39;s still fun to see. The soundtrack is also done by Lupinu0026#39;s usual Yuji Ohno and also the Conan guy, and itu0026#39;s a fun mix of energetic tunes and smooth jazz.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all, if youu0026#39;re a fan of Lupin or Conan Iu0026#39;d say youu0026#39;ll enjoy this. Itu0026#39;s a fun, very good anime adventure. Check it out.”
