Michelle Ruff, who voiced Fujiko Mine in the short-lived dub of Lupin III, is wonderful as Luna, compared to the DiC dub, which made Luna sound like a very old, Julie Andrews-like nanny. It should be noted there are differences between the two versions, everything is all re-voiced and the songs are all the originals from the Japanese version.
