Lupin III is the best stuff in anime as far as I'm concerned. It's almost always a laugh, and it's always action packed, and the second Lupin movie, The Castle of Cagliostro, is an anime classic (and the best of all stuff in animation). Anywho, Lupin is the story of the world's greatest thief, Lupin III, and how he and his gang dodges danger in Lupin's quest for treasure, women, and adventure. Lupin is a tall, lanky, and at times goofy and/or perverted, fun loving thief who is always wearing one of his ever popular blazers (green, red, and pink). Lupin's gang consists of: Jigen, Lupin's right hand man, a ex-mofia agent with almost perfect aim; Geoman, a samuria who has a blade that can cut through anything; and sometimes girlfriend, sometimes girlfoe, the coniving rival thief Fujiko. Then theres always Zenagota, an interpole officer out to capture Lupin, whose only problem is Lupin is a little bit smarter and more maniacal. The show is the greatest and worth seeing to believe. So if you like high adventure and fun in an Indiana Jones type way, Lupin is your anime.
