Jigen's Gravestone BD is out today. I preordered it, and I got a notification in my inbox saying my order was cancelled though I didn't cancel it myself, so I don't know if anyone else is having this problem.
Does anyone else plan on getting it? It'a great OVA. Might check out the dub since I hear it's great.
General discussion. Talk about your favorite Lupin shows and movies.
Don't forget to pick your favorite Lupin design. It is tradition after all.
>>139666222
Picked it up from the store today. Gonna watch it tonight.
>>139666450
>>139666450
They actually sell it in stores? I'd have to wait a few days for shipping.
>>139666547
My local Best Buy gets some of Discotek's releases, so I check it out there first because I'm too impatient for shipping. They had two in stock before I snagged mine.
anyone?
>>139667029
dammit. I never would of thought Best Buy sold discotek releases. Would of went there so I wouldnt have to pay for shipping. What was their price?
The cover looks nice.
>>139666312
I quite like space detective Lupin and his space boots.
>>139667286
best Lupin coming through.
post great Lupin art.
>>139666312
Blue jacket Lupin is the best look. I don't want it to change at all in the future.
>>139667170
$19.99. A steal.
Sorry for potato quality and hugeness.
>>139667473
> No space boots
Well, it's okay I guess.
>>139667862
Green jacket, Black shirt, Yellow tie, and Navy Blue slacks is the best look for Lupin. Bkue Jacket is too casual.
>>139668066
I want it bad.. tell me if there is a commentary, or any special features since thats the only thing im not too sure about
>>139666312
Loved the recent blue jacket stuff, but Castle of Cagliostro is still my favorite.
>>139668389
That's because Castle of Cagliostro IS the best.
Nyaa link when

Episode 1 Recap
Japanese Trailer 1 & 2
English Credits
Those are all the special features. No commentary and pretty lacking all up, unfortunately. On the plus side, it looks great, love the packaging/art, and the menu is really nice.
>>139668609
Indeed anon.
I watched castle of cagliostro with my little brother and he enjoyed it so I thought we'd try and watch more. How saucy does part 1 get? I read on MAL it has mild nudity.
as thanks heres my only lupin pic
>>139669211
Sauciest it gets is probably in the first episode where Fujiko has her top unbuttoned and is strapped to a tickling machine.
>>139666222
>>139668389
So why he is wearing an eyepatch?
>>139669429
Plot reasons.
>>139669321
Thanks
>>139668683
that's fucked up. They really couldnt give us anything else? for fuck sake, the movie is less than an hour long and we're paying $20 for it.
>>139669211
it's actually quite tamed. you're brother will be fine.
if not, let him watch anyway. you dont want him to grow up being a faggot after all.
>>139669532

Got mine in the mail today from Amazon. Where did you order yours?
>>139670480
rightstuf. It's being a pain in the ass.
>>139667286
Those look like prosthetics.
>>139670480
>wanna buy this to support the series
>it's just gonna sit on my bookshelf gathering dust as I don't usually collect movies/BDs
fuuuug. wat do?
>>139666222
Where do you start with Lupin, always wanted to start it but its very intimidating and i've heard from multiple people not to go from production order
>>139672599
just buy it, then you can send it to me.
>>139668389
wheres the horn
The only Lupin III series I've ever seen is 2015. What should I watch next? Castle of Cagliostro?
>>139672599
Steal it

That's probably just due to them accentuating his pencil-thin ankles for some reason.
He also wears them with his space suit so I imagine they are supposed to be for that purpose.
>>139672893
i swear you people are useless.
Watch the very 1st series. I dont get how thats so complicated for you people.
he smiles.
>>139674773
and he gets angry sometimes.
>>139674851
but he's a groovy guy
>>139675731
yeah he's Lupin the Third
>>139672662
just start with the 2015 series, there's nothing you really need to know that they don't tell you about the characters in lupin's gang.
>>139676690
why didnt you just tell him to start from the original series?
>>139676981
Some plebs can't handle old animation.
What do people think of pink jacket series compared to the others? Only one i have yet to watch and im curious what to expect.
>>139677078
then they are underaged retards who should not have their questions answered.
>>139677646
It's as good as red jacket series, but it some people are turned off by the cleft chins and cartoony animation
>>139677646
If you liked the second series, then pink jacket is more of the same except much shorter and far more 80s.
>>139678499
too bad the 80's was shit. the neon bright colors are cool at first but becomes tiresome after awhile.
>>139678833
>too bad the 80's was shit
But some of the best anime was made in the 80s.

Finished blue and i'm close to finished green. Feels great knowing ive still got 200 episodes waiting.Posting best episode.
>>139678972
I'd argue the 90's was the stronger decade for anime.
>>139679661
that wasnt the best episode. Not even in the top 5.
>>139679750
I did say some of the best anime, not all of the best anime.
What is the anime that is the complete opposite of Lupin?
Lupin
Is a nice man
>>139680465
Cat's Eye.
>>139680620
Yeah he smiles
>>139680773
but he gets angry.... sometimes.
any news on the dub?
guys
>>139681891
girls
>>139679661
I watched green first, and am just now really getting into 2015. The first few episodes were reminding me of Red, which I hated, and I dropped it while it was airing.
Is Fujiko the most unpredictable, in terms of quality? When she's good, she's great, but when she's bad, she just ruins the whole episode.
>>139682148
Pretty much, she's hard character to use properly if you don't know what you're doing.
>>139682148
I'd say Goemon. Half the time, he's just a plot device.
>>139682148
When I think about it, when Fujiko is at her worst it is because a writer focuses on only one aspect of her character.
Episode 21 of the blue jacket series is probably the best Fujiko-centric episode that we've had in a long time because it allowed her to be a bit more than just a greedy bitch for a change.
>>139682845
I'm only half way through blue so far, but I would say it has some really great episodes for tough characters. The Goemon Sniper episode did a great job of creating a conflict that really felt like something he couldn't just cut his way through.
I think Zenigata is the only character that cant have a bad episode.
>>139683020
I think that's because there is something inherently likeable about someone with so much dedication.
>>139683020
He's really unpleasant when he's incompetent. It was one of the things that bugged me so much about Red.
>>139683184
gotta give him props though. He wasnt always just trying to catch Lupin in the same predictable ways. He kept getting smarter and smarter. The guy is hard not to like.
He carries Walther
>>139684411
the machine cries bang bang
So here he comes right on time
>>139685242
he has class, and quite a style.
Green Jacket > everything else
where the fuck is everyone.
live
all on his own
>tfw no Lupin/Golgo 13 crossover
why even live?
>>139689162
I feel the same way about not receiving a proper christmas special.. Fucking Japs.
Rupan Sansei
>>139667473
Koike is so good.
>>139691262
I agree. the designs are beautiful. Especially the detail on the faces. Although I find the chins and noses to be a little too long and pointy, but It's unique and isnt meant to be realistic, so I wont complain too much. Also everyone looks tall as shit.
So how does Lupin's mind work? he's extremely intelligent and clearly has morals, but he still continues being a thief knowing it's very wrong. I understand he enjoys it but he should be sane enough to know what he does is wrong and his morals should make him want to stop.
>>139689162
Well, the gunman in Gravestone was pretty much a bootleg Duke Togo.
>>139691804
He's honestly 'streamlined' his stuff a bit in the last few years to look more 'anime'. He used to draw a lot more like Peter Chung.
>>139692669
It's a-ok because he's usually thieving from people that a bigger crooks than him.
