I feel like this kind of sets up for a potential sequel, we still don't know who wants to kill our trio. The art direction is strong, very strong, and the animation is nothing short of wonderful, especially when it comes to any scenes involving Hawk, the animation putting a lot of care into showing how his weight and fighting style would actually play out. . The final showdown between Goemon and the other assassin was kind of underwhelming. I think people will definitely find the story underwhelming though. It one of those storylines that don't have much, but it's all they need.
As for characterization, the special mainly focuses on Goemon and his view of his honour from what I could understand. Something does not work as expected? The action scenes in this film are as if the animators studied every single great chanbara of the 20th century and, pooling their knowledge and passion for these works of art with their knowledge and passion for animation, created the film. Originally released in June 2014, Lupin the Third: Jigen's Gravestone is a spinoff of the 2012 television , and features much of the television anime's creative staff, including director, character designer, and art director Takeshi Koike. When it comes down to it though, the movie is about swordfights. No matter what you think about the bizarre plot of the show and the gratuitous nudity, the style is undeniably fantastic. The visuals are phenomenal overall. In all honesty, it was a breath of fresh air seeing people actually take so much bodily damage from swords and axes and the like.
Hawk was a focking tank. It had been a while since I first watched the show and it was a lot… stranger than I remembered. It felt much more enjoyable than Takeshi Koike's first Lupin special, that being Jigen Daisuke's Gravestone. So make sure you checked this beforehand! In my opinion, this works in their favor. Aditionally, I think it would've made more sense if Fujioko wasn't even in the film - she does very little beside just interact with Lupin and Jigen, and then leave pretty much halfway through the film without doing much. It's definitely a treat, so I highly recommend you check it out.
The last Lupin movie, Jigen's Gravestone got released on April 6, 2016. He's not really a punchline at all. Almost two years after it was in theaters. Yeah, there's been blood and some mild gore, but there's some fairly disturbing scenes thrown in. Impeccable animation; the fight scenes were just incredible.
Almost two years after it was in theaters. It's mature enough to be appealing to older audiences, but doesn't take itself too seriously. I'll definitely watch it again when Discotek puts it out. The way they draw each character has really been refined in this special. Either way I'm sure it'll get subbed sooner than that. After that, we get the amazing scene where he attacks the gangsters and then the final showdown.
The gore is violent and visceral as the two exchange blows, especially in the final culmination of action. Discotek might put it out a little faster this time but I doubt it. I have nothing but good things to say about the antagonist of the film, Hawk, a fairly unusual design for an assassin in a show like this. Expect to see a lot of arms flying off and blood. The action has a lot of weight and fluidity to it. Discotek might put it out a little faster this time but I doubt it. Please note that you're player, if you download the files, can change the audio and subtitle track.
Thank you for your support! After stumbling upon it by chance, I watched Goemon's Fountain of Blood, due to my fast love of the character from the aforementioned film, and excitement over the little bits of it's events I knew about. The film will open in Japan on February 4. The two offshoots of the show share the style but, as feature films, have far simpler plots. They even go with the generic waterfall scene. They might just do another movie and it will focus on Lupin himself, that would make sense, since Fujiko, Jigen, Goemon all had their own dedicated series.
When it comes to Goemon focused stories, Fuma Conspiracy is still the best. It will likely be awhile till the movie gets localized, but when it does I highly recommend the buying the high quality releases done by Discotek. The main villain was interesting and creepy, despite not really looking like it. The premise is basic, but gives off a feeling similiar to The Terminator; Hawk is the assassin Goemon is targeting, who is in turn targeting Lupin, Jigen and Fujiko. The combat is simply amazing from start to finish - Goemon and Hawk's fights have a huge amount of weight and precision to them, and has all the consequences of two masters of their styles clashing. I'm excited to see what they might have in store next.
Big Lupin fan, so I didn't wanna wait for this to get subbed. Their silliness was a lot more adult-oriented. It's sad, but probably never. I don't know if this sub have quality I'm brazilian, sorry for my english , but here is subbed: According to Nyaa, it was subtitled by translating japanese and russian subtitles and fixing errors. Dude came through the glass. The rest of the main cast though? Important: Abuse can lead to an immediate account termination! He endures extreme suffering that should definitely kill him at many points to achieve the skill to defeat his opponent Lupin calls it finding a sixth sense and achieving enlightenment, but who knows what Lupin is rambling about.
On a whim, I put in my bluray of The Woman Called Fujiko Mine the other day. Overall, Goemon's Fountain of Blood is a great film that's well worth watching if you're in the mood for something a little different and a little more brutal then the norm. Though, I gotta say the character designs for all the one-off characters in this look very distinctive, especially for the yakuza characters that Goemon interacts with in sections of the film. Minor Spoilers from now, but his initial defeat was amazing. By the way, does anybody know when the subs will come out? The last Lupin movie, Jigen's Gravestone got released on April 6, 2016.
