I have only seen two Lupin films, so you can call this a review from someone who is new. Being the 8th film in the series, Lupin the 3rd is as popular to Anime as James Bond is popular to Hollywood movies. Both Lupin and James Bond share allot in common, they pick up allot of ladies. They are always solving mysteries that involve corrupt people who desire for power.

But the major different is, Lupin is a thief from France, James is a Brittish Spy. So that would explain why Lypin is able to pick up all the chiks then. OK, so anyway, Lupin is given half of a dimond from an old family friend who is suffering from ill health and the old guy asks Lupin to go and find the Geltic treasure. Allong the way, a the usual detective who tries to catch Lupin in every movie is at it again often trying to catch Lupin for his theifory acts. But this time there is this French Commissioner who is also after Lupin (for reasons not to be explained as they give away allot of the story line)Then there are usual Lupin characters, especilly this blonde lady who always seems to be in the same place as Lupin on her own missions and they happen to get into bed together only to be interupted before the fun starts. But as always, Lupin the 3rd is NOT a Hentai, even though there are breasts exposed, they are nothing more than just Ecchi material. The real highlight is with one special character by the name of Laura who lives as a Geltic girl who is fighting for the freedom of her people in Morroco.
For anyone who likes Quicksand in Anime, Lupin the 3rd - The Secret of Twilight Gemini has one ripper of a quicksand peril moment that is to be soon to be believed as Lupin tries to save the sinking Laura by stripping down to his boxes and trying to make a rope out of his clothes. It is a really touching scene and one that is one of those Lupin moments when you feel that this girl has fallen in love with the French thief. Allong with many funny (and perverted) moments, I really enjoyed this movie of Lupin the 3rd. But in the end, that is only just my opinion.
I found this movie when someone told me where the quicksand scene came from on You. Tube so I was really happy to enjoy buying this while I had the name to guide me. And to top it all off, for those who want a beautiful Belly Dancer dancing in the creddits, well this one has just the type of creddit scenes you are looking for. Overall, an enjoyable Anime and it has brought my interest in Lupin the 3rd.
