Lupin the Third: The First

Since the dawn of time, man has asked: "if it's completely CG, does that still make it anime?" Many wars have been fought and so much blood has been shed seeking for the final answer to this cursed question. You cannot convince me that The War of the Roses wasn't about anything else. Anyways, Lupin the Third pops his head out and says "I'm gonna refuel the fires of war once again" and now here we are watching a CG anime(?) all about the latest exploits of the master thief and SWEET LITTLE BABY JESUS WITH HIS BABY EINSTEIN EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS AND GERBER'S BABY FOOD MADE WITH REAL ORGANIC FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. This movie is absolutely gorgeous. But is it good? Looks can only get you so far because you have to have a personality too if you actually want to make anything of yourself. Unfortunately I don't have either but does Lupin the Third: The First have what it takes to be a modern masterpiece or is it just all thrill with no kill? We talk all about this and a lot more including Fujiko Mine's ara~ and what series we think could have another solid CG adaptation.
