The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure to stream for free in the U.S!
Happy Thanksgiving, Lupin fans across the pond! To celebrate, TMS Entertainment USA have announced the next Lupin III television special coming to YouTube for a limited time in the U.S. — and this time it's 1995's The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure!
The last Lupin work directed by Osamu Dezaki, this special marks the first straight-to-TV work in which Kanichi Kurita took on the role of Lupin III, after the late Yasuo Yamada’s passing. This particular version features the FUNimation English dub cast and is only available with English language audio. The film also includes gender representation of an individual that viewers are likely to find offensive.
THE BANDIT HARIMAO'S TREASURE IS WITHIN REACH! The infamous bandit Harimao hid a treasure, and to retrieve it, Lupin and the gang must gather three lost statues. When the Nazi-like group Neo-Himmel make a run for the goods, Lupin reluctantly partners with the aging double-O MI-6 agent Sir Archer and his granddaughter Diana to gather the statues first. Can this unorthodox team bond well enough to see this mission through? Will Lupin maybe even punch a Nazi in the process? Find out in The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure!
Despite its (rather huge) flaws, the special is a decent one, and still worth checking out.
You can stream it for free between December 6th through to January 2nd, providing you are within the United States. Check it out on YouTube by clicking here. If streaming isn’t your thing, you can still pick it up on physical media courtesy of Discotek Media by visiting the Amazon product page here.
