Lupin III: Die Nostradamus is a great film. The animation is crisp, humor at its best and action non-stop. This one is even more risqué compared to other Lupin films, containing nudity and a high body-count.
The premise of the story is rather straight-forward. Douglas, the heir to a wealthy Georgian-based clan, is planning to run for the American presidency. Douglas' daughter Julia is kidnapped by a cult associating themselves with the famous predictor Nostradamus. They seek Douglas to call off his presidency aspirations and give them his ancient book of Nostradamus' predictions. Meanwhile Lupin and his gang are looking to save Julia and claim a $50 million prize for the book of Nostradamus also.
This Lupin has a lot going on in it. With various action in Brazil, including the Amazon jungle, Morocco, Atlanta, Grenada and Executioner's island. Many different action sequences and small but effective jokes put this over-the-top as on of Lupin's best yet.
If you're big on Lupin, anime or even film in general I'd recommend this. Kick back, relax and enjoy the ride!
