Viewing Notes

so bloody and hyper violent… ofc I love it. so many limbs getting chopped off. Neat that this is a sequel to the Jigen Grave movie but also a reimagining of the origin of Geomon’s friendship with Lupin and Jigen.

The DKUTV Lupin marathon continues! I didn’t want to miss this one bc it’s also not available anywhere to view. Good thing too bc this “feature” is fucking wild. The animation is totally different than the TV series or other feature films. It’s more gritty and reminded me of Ninja Scroll but dirtier and more stylized. The director did REDLINE so that checks out (it too is hyper stylized and different than the standard anime).
