English Dub Review: Lupin the Third Part IV “From Japan with Love”

We love Japan.

Overview (Spoilers Below)

Lupin heads to Japan on a ruse set up by local Japanese detective Akechi Holmes who springs an arrest on Lupin and allows Fujiko to escape which is the wrong move because she comes back with a taste of Akechi’s medicine to help Lupin spring free from jail.

Our Take

It may seem like that not a lot happened, but, this week’s episode throws us back into classic trope Lupin that sees a very well executed escape that is set up by fun twists that should entertain even the most serious of Toonami viewers. The art direction on this series is breathtaking at times, and I don’t think there is a more fun series that has aired on any network this year.

Score
9/10
