Description:
Directed by Gizaburo Sugii, the talented director behind both the Street Fighter II movie and Night on the Galactic Railroad, and featuring memorable theme songs by fan favorite voice actress and singer Aya Hisakawa, Secret of the Twilight Gemini is a prime example of why Lupin III has remained one of Japan's favorite anime characters for 30 years!
Legend has it that the Twilight diamond is the key to a Moroccan treasure of immeasurable value. So when the international thief Lupin is given the Twilight in an act of faith, it's off to Morroco!
But what started out as a simple in and out jobs turns into chaos the moment Lupin steps off the train! Fighting factions, masked assassins, secret underground sects, a whip-yielding psychopath, corrupt cops, and the always determined Inspector Zenigata... they're all after Lupin. And they won't stop until he's caught or killed.
Join Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko, and Goemon in another rousing adventure where nothing is what it seems to be... and the treasure is always just around the corner.
Spoken Languages: English, Japanese, English Subtitles.

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can [Not] AdvanceEvangelion 2.0 feels as though the project has been put on mood stabilizers: it's not any happier, but it's more stable and certainly more focused. And in the end, it's a vast improvement. It hurts so good.
S.A Sub.DVDDespite a flimsy premise and lackluster male lead, this story about a girl doomed to perpetually finish second to a chief rival who has secretly fallen in love with her (mostly) succeeds for two simple reasons: it is often quite funny and occasionally endearingly sweet.

The (small) boost in emotional content notwithstanding, this is still the series to hit up for a watching experience that is consistently fun and never taxing.
This is a collection of gags in search of a plotline, and when it finally does find a story to tell, the change in tone is so abrupt that you end up wishing it had stayed pointless and stupid.
Kurogane GN 2In adding a realistic human element to the genre, Kurogane turns out to be a thoughtful action series—not the deepest by any means, but definitely with enough substance to it.
