Lupin the Third vs. Detective Conan: The Movie

Lupin the Third vs. Detective Conan: The Movie (2013) is a Japanese animated feature you can watch online on iFILM — the theatrical follow-up to the 2009 TV crossover special, with both franchises' full casts back in the same story.

Conan Edogawa is tracking the theft of a jewel called the Cherry Sapphire; Lupin III is the prime suspect. The investigation runs deeper than a straightforward heist, and neither character is going to work on the other's terms. Director Hajime Kamegaki — a veteran of both series — keeps the two styles from canceling each other out: Conan's precise deductive logic sits alongside Lupin's improv con-artistry, and the film finds genuine friction in that gap.

Kanichi Kurita and Minami Takayama return in the lead voice roles. Fans of one franchise who've never seen the other will follow the story without much trouble, though longtime fans get more from the confrontation. Stream Lupin the Third vs. Detective Conan: The Movie (2013) online on iFILM.
