Torrent description

OMAKE TIME!!!!!!!!!! TOMA does The last ep of Shin Lupin III TV Farewell, Lovely Lupin. Thats season 2, while you wait for more lupin movies yay, excellent english sub's.

What is "Farewell Beloved Lupin"?

"Saraba Itoshiki Lupin yo" (Farewell, Beloved Lupin), aired in 1980, is the last episode of the second Lupin TV series. Miyazaki wrote and directed it, and since this was the last Lupin he was involved with, this was also Miyazaki's farewell to Lupin. And what a farewell Lupin (and we) got!
"Farewell" is sort-of another Cagliostro. The heroine, Maki, is a dead-ringer for Clarisse (and played by the same voice actor, Sumi SHIMAMOTO). The last scene was exactly like that in Cagliostro, only this one takes place in Japan. However, the theme of this episode is a bit more serious than the Cagliostro theme. Lupin helps Maki to outsmart a greedy defense contractor who sells deadly robots used as weapons. There are scenes in which Tokyo becomes a war zone under martial law (a motif Miyazaki once depicted in Flying Ghost Ship), and we can see Miyazaki's feeling towards the military-industrial complex in this episode.
We can also see which anime have influenced Miyazaki in this episode. The beginning of the episode is Miyazaki's homage to the Fleischer brothers' "The Mechanical Monster" (1941), the second episode of Superman, which features a robot that looks like the one in "Farewell". Actually, Zenigata says, "It's just like Superman!" in this episode. ^_^
