Gallery: Farewell to Nostradamus
While Farewell to Nostradamus (or To Hell With Nostradamus as it is otherwise known) isn’t the most popular animated Lupin film, it’s still incredibly pretty.
Perhaps dialed back a little bit from 1985’s Legend of the Gold of Babylon, the 1995 film does a great job at giving a softer, more Looney Tunes cartoonish take on the red jacket character designs. There is some fantastic background work too, no doubt thanks to the talented artists working with Tokyo Movie Shinsha and Telecom Animation Film at the time.
The character design for the film was handled by Kenji Hachizaki, now a veteran member of the series having worked on The Fuma Conspiracy, Seven Days Rhapsody, Another Page and many more. Hachizaki also directed the animation, alongside Tadashi Kudo who took charge of the art.
