First, let me say I did eventually get to watch Lupin III: The First and it was amazing. Great story & animation! An extremely fun time for any Lupin the 3rd lover. My 1 star review is from the Play store purchase itself. The audio was out of sync for the English dub. About 7 minutes into the movie I realized (although dubbed in English from Japanese) the audio for everything was just oos enough to be distracting. Thankfully I got a refund from Play and purchased through another service.

Content wise, visuals are fun, but the actors for English dub are all pretty bland. Heads up that the English dub's audio is all off by a split second. I would've gone with three or four stars, but the off-kilter audio really damages things. Another reviewer mentioned that it was just Google Play's version. Going to request a refund, as that's not worth keeping.

The English dub audio doesn't match with the character mouths, and the English subtitles describe all sounds rather than just the character dialogue. Otherwise the movie itself was decent.
