Agreed. These standees are part of the 55th anniversary collection, and they are dreadful. No idea how they mixed up the Part 4 slot.

From the 5-min pilot of "Redline", directed by Takeshi Koike 7 years before the film's release (and not reused in the film). It's still just as rare to see such long proof-of-concepts produced for Japanese animated films projects. Full video >> www.catsuka.com/player/redli...

Fowl play is afoot as both Lupin and Zenigata find themselves Walken directly into a trap! Our journey across The Top 50(ish) Episodes of Lupin III: Part II continues as we review Episode 10, “Steal the File M123” (or “ZenigataCon”)! 🔽LINKS BELOW🔽

Underneath is text that reads "SIDEBURNS & CIGARETTES: The Top 50(ish) Episodes of Lupin III: Part II".

Zenigata and the Two Lupins looks pretty great, continuing the rich look of each of the OVAs to the final one. Audio is Japanese w/ full subs & English w/ sign subs. The dub features the existing IIIrd English cast. There is also English captions. A few screenshot samples.

So Part 4 aired with a VO dub, Mamo aired with subs and Cagliostro aired with a full dub... made mostly by fandubbers so the quality is debatable. The movie (and Mamo seemingly too) is also getting a burned (yes, not pressed) Blu-Ray release by distributor Anime Eden.

Thank you, France, for making Jigen as much of a perv as Lupin is again. The show kinda lost that, but it’s nice to see comics didn’t. Source here: www.kana.fr/lupin-3-la-m...

Whoooa of course I’m biased, but this is some of the finest comic work I’ve seen in years. Deft communication of each moment, be it beautiful or hilarious. And those BACKGROUNDS! My apologies José Luis Munuera, I was completely unfamiliar with your game. And Sedyas, that color work is breathtaking.
