Irishchatter It was ok when we get to see the car chase scenes and the fightning scene with Goemon & the Fuma boss. Other than those scenes, I really am a bit dissaponted that it turned out not that brillant for a short Lupin movie. The actual problems I found with this movie was the fact it was too short for one hour 4min, some of the English dub cast weren't at all great and the fact its really all about Goemans loverboy life. Yeah he deserves love but for the love of god, he picked a too cutesy and annoying one. Like if they were planning to have Goeman not single, at least give him a girl/boy who is like him -focused, no nonsense, passionate, etc. I've nothing much to say about this movie, it was one of the let downs of the Lupin series to be honest and a waste of time really........

musukogoji The Fuma Conspiracy is the fourth film in the Lupin the 3rd series and turns out to be a fresh and exciting adventure after the disappointment of Legend of the Gold of Babylon. Even though it's one of the shortest films in the series, at only 73 minutes, it manages to pack enough thrills to make it worthwhile. The film begins at the wedding of one of Lupin's long time partners, Goemon Ishikawa XIII, being married to Murasaki Suminawa. The guest list includes Jigen, Fujiko, and of course Lupin, who has recently faked his death. However, some uninvited guests arrive: Ninjas of the Fuma Clan. During their raid they attempt to steal an urn belonging to the Suminawa Clan. When, their attempted robbery fails, they instead take Murasaki hostage and decide to trade her for the urn. The leader of the Suminawa Clan reveals to Lupin and the gang that the urn contains the secret location of the Suminawa family treasure, which the Fuma Clan has been after for centuries. After saving Murasaki, Lupin steals the urn for himself to search for the treasure with the Fuma Clan in hot pursuit. But that's not all. Recently out of retirement, Inspector Zenigata joins the chase and is determined to have Lupin's gang as well as the Fuma Clan arrested.So, after summarizing the basic plot, there's not really much else to say about this movie. The action was great, the humor was great, the villain, simply known as The Boss, was great. Really, all I can say to describe this film is that it was great. The only thing not so great about this was the English dub. Hopefully they'll make a better one in the future. Murasaki, Goemon's bride-to-be, is a pretty enjoyable character. She' smart and joyful and the film does a great job of showing her positive influence on Goemon's life. It allows us to see a happier, more human, side of Goemon that we don't usually see often. There really isn't anything else to say. The movie is great. It just makes me really happy whenever I watch it. If you're a Lupin fan, then go see it. If not, well go see it anyway. It's just great :)

emasterslake This is one of the fewer Lupin OVAs. Oppoximately 3 in total.This is one of the 2 Lupin anime owned by Animage who have it translated under the name "Rupan".Besides that it's a great Lupin anime to view. Those who like Castle of Cagliostro or Goemon the trusty Samuri will like this one.Has some good stuff including Ninjas, Car chases, & secret treasure hold with numerous tunnels, passages, and traps.Please note that since this is done by a different team of Translators than Genenon or Funimation. The voice acting is different than their debuts.Pretty much Jigen has a more Gravier voice than his other appearance. But the English voice talents are just fine.The animation is very well made for an OVA from 1987.It's worth buying for those who like Lupin the 3rd.

epyon-2 This Lupin film ranks up there with "Castle of Cagliostro" in terms of fun, but it's still doesn't have as much charm as Cagliostro. This Lupin movie did have one of the best car chases I've seen, including a drive through, not around or near, but through an onsen (Japanese bath house/hot spring). I thought it was nice to see a Lupin movie that focused on one of the other characters. Not to be left out of course, is the action with the Fuma clan was rather entertaining (especially inside the cave).I'll rank this as number 2 out of the 8 Lupin movies I've seen.
