Shelf Life - My Anime Cache

Because Lupin doesn't act like Lupin usually does. He's too sugar-coated. Lupin is supposed to be a lecherous near-rapist with no qualms about killing his enemies if he has to, especially in the manga (where the naked bodies and the dead bodies stack up pretty high at times). Monkey Punch's Lupin III is not in CoC, that's for sure.

Chance Pop Session is one of the most touching series you’ve never heard of; if you’re a musician, you owe it to yourself to see this.

Related titles: If music is your passion, then Viz’s release of Full Moon wo Sagashite is a must-see. It’ll make you laugh and cry like a sissy, but you’ll thank yourself for it.

As far as mindless adventure series go, Elemental Gelade is pretty darned entertaining. It requires almost no brain power to process, the colors are bright and happy, and the characters are, for the most part, pretty lovable. That said, it’s not much of a masterpiece, but it’s good for those lazy afternoons when you’re willing to do just about anything to fire a few synapses in your brain.

Well, as one of the roughly 18 people who enjoyed Someday's Dreamers

I don’t know that the special features (animated storyboards, interview with animation director) are worth buying this movie a second time, but if you’re lacking some old-fashioned Lupin III fun on your shelf, make this one of the tales you buy.

I never had the chance to see the originally CoC

Then you should buy the old dvd first, because this is no longer the "original" film.

The opening credit sequence has been changed. Originally it retained japanese credits and was animated, however now it's still shots with English-language credits of the Japanese staff. Apparently this is because TMS provided manga Ent with an Anamorphic master, and wanted their team to be represented that way.

Was that the only difference? Pretty stupid reason to not pick it up if that was.

I think it's cool how depending on the director, Lupin gets a different color coat... Are there more than 2 directors?

I also remember references that were made towards it like on FLCL when the dad was acting like Lupin and changed jackets because it was the CoC version.
