Lupin III: Seven Days Rhapsody
A rich girl hires Lupin to help her steal a diamond from her father.
Fujiko hires Goemon to help her steal this diamond.
A friend from Jigen’s past hires him to help steal this diamond. (hmm I wonder if Jigen’s friend is actually evil and is going to betray him in the end 🤔…)
But this mcguffin is no ordinary diamond...
Also Zenigata is chasing Lupin from country to country. Keeps getting close but always missing by that much 🤏
Its an entertaining fun time.
The gang is split up at the start but come together in the end to give the bad guys their kamuffins.

This is the story of what happens during one week while Lupin and Jigen are planning a heist.
Whereas other Lupin specials have made an effort to stay up to date on technology and failed embarrassingly (I'm looking at you, Green vs. Red), this one has a very tongue in cheek approach to Lupin's old school skills and techniques. In fact, a character of the week uses them to identify him, which I thought was clever.
For some reason, at the time this anime special was out, it was a thing to put weird, CG puppets into anime (such as Level E). I don't get it, but the puppet scene in this special was funny. Everything they do in Lupin is so specialized, so characterized, that it doesn't matter if it's cliche. It still manages to work. I realize that this was also a throw back to one of the Red…

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.…
