This is a great set of films. Five whole Lupin films in all their glory. Some are silly, some have some boring aspects to them. But I'm not going to review each film because over all their quality of story telling, the visuals, the humor all tend to over power the short comings of any given film in traditonal Lupin fashion of "no f***ing way that could..." and then you just accept and laugh. I bought this product because I'm very into Lupin the 3rd and this is the set of films rather than going out and searching and buying each and every one of them. Thus it puts you in a pretty nice spot of having a decent chunk of Lupin films in your collection. Given there are two sets First and Final Haul, the person buying is left with 10. Quality is amazing. Fans of either Subs or Dubs, this will answer all needs. Funimation is one of the best and they put together really great casting. Though, if you are like me and have seen many of their titles, you will notice some of the voices in there and yes, the acting is superb but it can make you think in the back of your head "oh that's so and so". Also, this is a personal opinion, I think Jigen's English voice is a bit too gruff (over looked it as I watched each film) and can rub you the wrong way) and Goemon's voice is pretty deep so that might be surprising too. Especially if you're like me and grew up on the second tv series on Adult Swim. Unfortunately these boxsets are out of print so you will have to probably bid close to the $100 range for both sets (and that's included on other sites if you're like me and shop around). Do I recommend them? Yes. They are great and help you not only from not having to search and by each disc, but they help you save space, and stuff like that. I highly recommend this if you can afford it.Read full review
The price is very low for a good quality product. It's the cheapest way to get a lot of official Lupin III TV specials, even if you live outside of USA and import it, like I did. The product is good but not excellent. Image quality for the oldest TV specials is not always the best (with some small TV interlace problems). Also, the subtitles dosen't always match the Japanese dialogues. They aren't always very accurate. The good surprise is the bonus interviews of Monkey Punch and anime directors!
I grew up watching Lupin the III, and, living in the U.S., zoning made it difficult to get my hands on an in-home viewing format other than badly pirated ones. His DVD set is a godsend!
