Fujiko, lured by the promise of eternal youth and beauty by the sinister and enigmatic scientist known as Mamo, double-crosses Lupin and steals the stone.

The best introduction to the Lupin series
by Teague -
With Lupin being a long running franchise, it’s kind of hard to know where to start. There’s the tv series, movies like Castle of Cagliostro and specials but Mamo for me is the best way to get into the franchise. Not only that it gives a very solid and creative feature but also gives a great understanding of the cast and what makes the series so believe. It also helps that Discotek’s Blu Ray being a great way to watch film with a gorgeous video transfer and really good selections of extras including all four English Dubs. If there’s a great entry to introduce the Lupin franchise, then Mamo is a perfect example.
Lupin’s first theatrical adventure!
by Kyle -
The Mystery of Mamo is the first Lupin III theatrical film. Lupin and crew are thieving, traveling the world, and seeking answers which leads them to the mysterious Mamo. Everyone in the Lupin gang get their time to shine in this film. The film isn’t a good introduction to the Lupin characters if you’re new to Lupin. It definitely helps if you’ve first been introduce to these characters through the TV series. The film is from 1978 and fits in well with the classic Lupin III Part 2 TV series. The animation is good, but around the quality of the TV series of that time. If you’re expecting the animation quality of the second film, The Castle of Cagliostro, you may be disappointed. This film is in line with Monkey Punch’s version of Lupin and is more risqué and darker in tone than the lighthearted Cagliostro film. I enjoyed this film but it does go into strange territory with the main villain, Mamo. If you love Lupin III you won’t want to miss this classic Lupin film.
A Good Film That Looks Better in this HD Remastered Edition
by MKY -
Discotek has remastered Lupin's first Theatrical film and has even included more extras over the older DVD version. It includes liner notes, Interview (in text) with Bill Dufris, the VA who portrayed Lupin in the United Kingdom version. There is also the history of Mamo along with an essay on Mamo notes/information as well. A translation of an old theatre program in English was interesting, an art gallery that includes 58 images of promotional art, 7 images of Lobby Cards, and 40 images of Promo Stills...and still contains all the dubs in English from the previous released DVD. Plus, various theatrical trailers , TV spots, and International op & cl features.
This film is dark compared to "Castle of Cagliostro" and was obviously intended for more mature audiences at the time it was released in theatres, so 'bare' that in mind before purchasing.
Kudos for Discotek for all the extras in this BD, and enjoy in 1080p / 4:3 format.
