Seven Days Rhapsody is a good time with the Lupin gang.

Lupin wants a giant diamond, and he helps out a teenage girl along the way. Plot isn't what makes Lupin great though, it's the entertaining dynamic between the classic characters.

Lupin and Jigen have a lot of fun "best friends" comedy in the beginning, including a hilarious scene where they play with puppets. This is contrasted by them then taking opposing missions, and having a conflict of interest. Lupin and Jigen always have a great dynamic, and there are some nice twists to it in this one.

Goemon is great in this. We get to see a duo of him and Lupin for a change, which is fun to see. We also get Goemon working with Fujiko and putting up with her entertaining shenanigans. Plenty of enjoyable comedy situations for Goemon here.

Fujiko is fun and hot in this one, like usual, and she gets plenty of screen time. When she gets mad, things get entertaining.

Inspector Zenigata is hilarious, always one step behind the Lupin gang, but he takes a bit of a back seat in this one.

The presentation is top notch here. Very slick animation, attractive character designs (especially for Fujiko), and a great jazz soundtrack by Yuji Ohno. And needless to say, all the voice actors are great.

This is a fun Lupin adventure with a very cool vibe, great comedy, and plenty of thrills. Check this stylish anime out.
