i started with it and had a great time, though yeah it is a unique series that doesn't match tonally with about anything other than Jigen's Gravestone

There's also Goemon's Blood Spray, which is the third work in that continuity.

Is part 3 actually not well regarded? Everything I've heard.from people who have watched it sounds good

no i think there are people out there who dislike it but i never got the impression that it was worth taking that information and avoiding part 3 based on it, especially when some criticisms i've seen of individual eps is stuff like "it's too goofy."

part 3 definitely had a negative connotation attached to it before more animation-oriented people really came out in admiration of it

Part 3 gets an unfair rep because for the longest time the only pink jacket Lupin available in legible English was a real divisive movie.

I've only seen Part 2 that they used to air on Adult Swim (and it wasn't even all of Part 2, i think, just the front half or so), and then a little bit of Part 1 when i learned CR had it available, and Castle of Cagliostro whcih was great. Really my experience is most of the stuff is pretty standalone and you can jump in wherever it looks most interesting to start

i also didnt realize Miyazaki was involved with the later part of Part 1, I thought he just did Castle of Cagliostro

yeah, the production breakdown of Part 1 is a bit odd but a majority of it was directed by Miyazaki and Takahata, and then Miyazaki did Cagliostro and a couple episodes of Part 2.

Fujiko Mine is as good of a place to start modern Lupin as part 4 and 5 have some of the edge the series had.

I'm actually a bit more cool on Castle and other Miyazaki Lupin these days as while it's good his Lupin really feels like more of a good guy than a theif

Does (color) jacket refer to box colors, an official name for a series, or literal clothing?

Part 1 - Green Jacket
Part 2 - Red Jacket (the iconic one)
Part 3 - Pink Jacket
Parts 4 & 5 - Blue Jacket

and he mostly if not exclusively wears the green jacket in Woman Called Fujiko Mine

Jigen's Gravestone is really great and is a good thing to watch even if you only have passing familiarity with Lupin. I liked what I saw of Fujiko Mine as well but just can't sustain a full series watch of Lupin even a short one.

I started Lupin with Fujiko Mine like three years ago (maybe more) and I still haven't finished it but it's v good imo

I'm the rare Fujiko Mine series hater. It's not bad, but it's not what I expect out of a Lupin series. It's overall, more tonally dark and serious compared to other Lupin stuff so I wouldn't say it's at all representative of Lupin as a whole.

Also Fujiko having sex with Zenigata feels just a touch out of character for the detective.

I wasn't a big fan of the fujiko-in-distress fanservice stuff but the rest of the movie more than makes up for it.

Fujiko Mine always seemed more like a Golgo 13 spinoff. Did it air the same year as the last one of those or something or is my brain just damaged? Maybe I've just seen too much goofball Lupin and can't shake it.

Also I watched Otaku Deserve Loneliness and it seems fine. I like how the OP is mostly just garbage snapchat poo poo the nerds would have made themselves.
