Who is your favorite Anime character? If you are going to ask me, I should say that my favorite is Andre Lupin of the tv series, Lupin III. Not only do I consider the master of trickery and disguise, but also, I credit his talent and skill iof deception among his opponents for him to be able to escape further punishment, trouble, and debts. In so doing, such unique character makes me admires Lupin’s personality the most.
However skilled and considered genius in accomplishing his goals in his line of work, Lupin is also weak when it comes to handling his heart affairs. In the Pinoy version of Lupin III, which I have recently watched, I realized that Lupin (starred by Richard Gutierrez in the Pinoy version) had a love interest named Angelie (Abby Cruz). In the Pinoy version, it was shown that Lupin had chosen a normal life and decent life but his father, Duroy would not just let him decide for his own life that he dictates that Lupin continues to join him in his indecent job to acquire lots of money. Lupin tried his best to get away from the accustomed evil activities of Duroy but the latter would not just give him his freedom; rather, Duroy killed Lupin’s fiancĂ© as the two were about to get married. And so, Lupin just has no choice but to return to his previous job.
I also recalled Lupin’s weakness back in the Anime version when he often gets distracted whenever he sees Fujiko—a beautiful, and sexy woman assassin. Instead of escaping the opponents, Lupin usually end up in trouble every time he sees his romantic interest, Fujiko. In brief, I enjoyed the Pinoy version of Lupin III as much as I enjoed the original Anime cartoon. I like the Pinoy version because its remake was created in such a way that it was adjusted to fit into the Philippine setting.
