Customer Reviews

Dead or Alive is amazing & the rest are fun
The animation quality of Dead or Alive is something that impressed me a lot. The other films are fun as well. Animators and fans alike can learn from the quality of the art.

Wonderful Movie Pack
Most people say "it ain't Miyuzaki". However, the difference (besides style) is action. This movie pack has a lot more to do with cunning and ingenuity than just straight boom and blow em' up. I think anyone who likes 007, or likes watching "Cat-and-Mouse" movies will really like this one. One word of caution: This is definately not a movie for kids...so make sure they're gone!! And to Die-Hard anime fans like myself, swoop this one up while you can!!! It's worth it!

A worthwile purchase.
I've been meaning to start a Lupin the Third collection, and the First Haul set of DVDs was an excellent choice to start with. I may be a bit biased seeing as this my favorite anime series, but I enjoyed all five movies. I was worried that a Funimation dub would be sub par and just not work, but I was wrong. During the first movie, it seemed like the cast was still getting into character a bit, but after that, they just fell into the roles of the characters I've come to know and love.

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot of each film, as well. While I'm sure there are flaws, I was too busy enjoying the films to notice any.
