Lupin Gear Solid Redux
About a thousand years ago plus a day, I posted a parody “opening” for Metal Gear Solid 4 done in the style of Lupin III. Well, it’s back…in Pog form.
Meaning, of course, that someone has put together a side-by-side comparison of the two openings so that we deprived Americans can appreciate just how well done this parody is.
What’s kind of unsettling is that Lupin III is a budding serial rapist, but his lust still looks far more natural than Snake’s deadpan curiosity. He spies the woman and he smells the woman but he knows not what to do with the woman.
“Delicious woman. For Snake eat?”
This Lupin series actually saw a limited English release on American television and R1 DVD. The dub was actually really great, with actors who more than fit their roles and plenty of anachronistic pop culture references for source material written in the 1970s.
Couldnt you have just said “Cool video!” Kishi?
I’m pretty okay with random anime facts! It’s too bad Lupin III never made more of a presence in North America. Canada has quite a bit of Lupin the I stories, and there was even a cartoon with the most excellent intro I’ve ever seen, but most of it’s in french…of course…
