Basically, give something the feel of a Bond film. Then, make it extremely humorous whilst maintaining that feel. That's what you get from Lupin III: The First. Exceptional CGI. Gorgeous backgrounds. Fluid animation. A kick-ass opening. A story that made me laugh, and then made me cry at the end (the good sort of cry). A jazzy soundtrack that fits perfectly with everything happening visually. I'm really sad that Monkey Punch wasn't alive for the finished product. I think he'd have been absolutely pleased with what came out of it, and I know I was. This was my first taste of Lupin. Pardon me; I have roughly halfa century to catch up on.
