by Prior to the start of distribution on the 27th, “Lupin the 3rd VS Cat’s Eye”, a collaboration between a thief and a phantom thief from a masterpiece animation, was enthusiastically received from the voice actors on the 12th.
The same work will be “exclusively distributed worldwide” from Video. From 2021 to 2022, Tom’s Entertainment will produce the last anniversary of the 50th anniversary of the animation of “Lupin the Third” and the 40th anniversary of the original work of “Cat’s Eye.” Set in the 1980s when “Cat’s Eye” was serialized, a retro and stylish exhilarating climb action unfolds.
The story was set in Tokyo in 1981. Three beautiful sisters, Hitomi, Namida, and Ai, who run a coffee shop during the day and make a noise at night as the phantom thief Cat’s Eye, have stolen a painting from an art exhibition. Around the same time, Lupine the 3rd, the elusive thief who appeared in Tokyo, managed to outwit an armed organization and steal a painting. Both stolen paintings were part of the trilogy “Bouquet and Girl” by painter Michael Heinz. For the three Cats sisters, knowing that the legendary thieves are chasing the same “prey” as they are, essential clues to grasp the fate of their father, Heinz, will increase the momentum of the confrontation.
The comments of the voice actors in charge of each character are as follows. Kanichi Kurita, who plays the role of Lupine the 3rd, “At first, I was wondering what it would be like if ‘Lupin the 3rd’ and ‘Cat’s Eye’ appeared in the same era, but as a story, two works can be established without any discomfort. This time, there is also a story in which Lupine the 3rd’s past is related to the three sisters’ Cat’s Eye, so please pay attention to it and see it.” Akio Otsuka, who plays Daisuke Jigen, “What a fun project.
The Lupine gang and Cat’s Eye! I’m excited that the script and production will bring out the best in each of them. I’m a newcomer to the Lupine family, but I’ll manage to pull off everyone’s legs. And I want to show a presence worthy of Daisuke Jigen! But I’m afraid I’ll fall into a trap if I put this much into it! Anyway, everyone, please look forward to it!” Daisuke Namikawa, who plays the role of Goemon Ishikawa, “Both works.
It has a very long history. In addition, it’s an anniversary year to commemorate! The collaboration between the two is unexpected. It’s also VS? What about it? What? What kind of development?! I can only look forward to the chemical reaction. Thank you! Miyuki Sawashiro, the voice of Fujiko Mine: “I feel deeply moved to think that I’ve reached the age where I believe love is cute!!! I was fascinated by their cuteness.
I never thought the day would come when I would call the girls I admired “kittens.” Cheeky!” Koichi Yamadera, who plays the role of Inspector Zenigata “Monkey Punch-sensei and Tsukasa Hojo” Sensei.I got goosebumps because it was the double names of the two people who helped me a lot in the original work! It’s genuinely a dream collaboration! I’m so happy that Utsumi and Zenigata are entwined.
I respected my Senior, Yasuhara-san, and said, “Senior, I can’t believe I’m called! Enjoy super entertainment full of love, romance, and action! !! Keiko Toda, who plays the role of Hitomi Kisugi: “After more than 30 years, I am very happy to be able to play Hitomi again. Even if the world views overlap, it is a work that you can immerse yourself in without feeling any discomfort. And I hope you will enjoy the luxury of listening to the representative songs of the two works simultaneously in this work. I think.” Rika Fukami, who plays the role of Namida Kisugi: “I was a fan of both works, so it was strange that I was allowed to participate in this memorable year. I was blown away by power. It’s like meeting old friends you haven’t met and meeting new people! It’s a thrilling excitement that I’ve never experienced before.” Yoshihito Yasuhara, who plays Toshio Utsumi. “It’s been a long time. I’m still stupid and cool. Let’s show you! Wait, Hitomi! ”
