The best episode of the Broadway Series. The ones after that were weak and silly even by 'Lupin III' standards.
The only problem is that the episode was padded out with a chase scene.
Great comedy in this episode. The idea of the episode starting with Lupin being woken up by a phone call works very naturally and sets the audience up with a relatable situation. I love how Lupin has so little energy to move that he screams for Jigen to answer the phone. I wish I had seen more of that in this franchise. It's so human. And there's something appealing about a hero who's not a morning person.
On a side note, Jigen's nightcap is adorable.
I also liked the gag with Jigen and the tissue box.
The English dub added some good lines as well, such as Jigen's quip that Baby must have thought the robot was taking a leak.
The English voice actress for Baby must have been doing an impression of Bernadette Peters in 'Annie'.
And though Zenigata may be something of a gentleman around women, I don't know what to make of the fact that he was looking for a strip show when running into Lupin.
