Viewing Notes

Another Lupin flick I was happy to see on the DKUTV 5th anniversary schedule. This one is really nutty and also notable bc Seijin Suzuki directed. All the Lupin adventures are usually crazy but this one is easily the most out there.

This one would make for a good video game adaptation a la Uncharted (especially since Drake went looking and found Babylon in one of the games).
