About Lupin the IIIrd: Jigen's Gravestone

Lupin the IIIrd: Jigen's Gravestone (LUPIN THE IIIRD 次元大介の墓標) blends action, adventure and comedy by TMS Entertainment and Telecom Animation Film (2014). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: By bringing her voice to West Doroa, the East Doroan singer Queen Malta hoped that she could heal the rift between the two countries. Instead, her murder on stage by an unknown assassin only served to increase the tension between the two countries.

Beyond that: Already a country known for its incredibly low crime rate, East Doroa increases security in preparation for war--but security is nothing to the likes of super-genius thief Lupin III! Still, when he and partner Jigen Daisuke swipe the Little Comet gemstone from an embassy in East Doroa, it's a little convenient that the police seem to know their every move. Worse, before they can even make their getaway, the pair find themselves under the crosshairs of a certain hitman--the same one that killed Queen Malta!

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Arsène Lupin III (Kanichi Kurita) and Daisuke Jigen (Kiyoshi Kobayashi) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 1 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
