Almost entirely self contained stories, I think the only series that had anything like an overarching storyline is The Woman Called Fujiko Mine from a couple of years ago.

Do I got it all? Lupin rarely gets any women, Jigen hasn't been a gangster for a while he's pretty much just a great guy, but close enough. But yeah you can watch any Lupin, I recommend trying the original 23 episode series. Half those episodes are directed by Miyazaki and Takahata of Studio Ghibli for example, green jacket like Cagliostro. And a lot of those TV movie specials they'd been making every year for the past several decades are really fun too.

It does have an ongoing storyline inbetween the self-contained episodes but it's one of two exceptions to the norm in that regard (The other being The Woman Called Fujiko Mine)

It's also important to note that since you recently watched Cagliostro, The Woman Named Fujiko Mine is on the exact opposite end of the tone spectrum when it comes to Lupin. Like, they're right at the endpoints of that line.

Most of the nudity is in the first quarter to a half, and I think Fujiko does it a bit more tastefully than a lot of anime does it. That doesn't include Jigen's Gravestone, though. That was just weird.

Does Goemon get more of a leading role in other episodes/series? He was barely in Cagliostro at all (although it was pretty funny when he cut off Lupin's burning clothes mid-air and then complained about how his sword shouldn't be used for this kind of stuff, plus slipping some affection about Carlise and immediately feeling embarrassed about it).

It depends on the series/movie in question but he generally gets less screentime than the rest of the cast. The Fuma Conspiracy is the thing to watch if you want more Goemon though, and while it's not directed by Miyazaki a lot of the other folks that worked on Cagliostro were involved in its creation.

He gets some standout stuff here and there, they don't forget about ol Goemon. For specials, I remember Seven Days Rhapsody having fun Goemon stuff. Lupin III: Dragon of Doom (aka Burn, Zantetsuken! named after Goemon's sword) is another good Goemon focused special. Heavy Metal fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Mar 7, 2016 |

Your Dunkle Sans posted:Any idea why Lupin is apparently so wildly popular in Italy? As the thread's resident italian, I can answer that! Nostalgia, mostly. Anime have a very long history of being dubbed in Italian (name an obscure anime from the 60s, 70s or 80s, any of them; chances are it has an Italian dub, especially if you're talking about mecha series), and people who are 30, 40, even 50 years old today have very fond memories of growing up watching Lupin being chased by Zenigata. It helps that Lupin is actually a very good series so the nostalgia is justified, instead of being "back in my day anime were actually good!  "

Y'all have listed some Goemon-centric movies, but I need to know the Jigen-centric and, if they exist, Zenigata-centric ones. The best episode of Lupin is the one where Zenigata steals his ancestor's trademark coin and then feels so guilty that he becomes a master criminal so that he can break in to replace it.

There's Daisuke Jigen's Gravestone, which is a kinda-sequel to Fujiko Mine about an assassin who has Jigen on his hitlist.

Is there an origins story on why Zenigata started chasing Lupin in the first place? Or has it always been an eternal chase that arose ex nihilo? e: There's some genuinely funny bits here and there in Lupin III. Example: Lupin: "If you want to keep me in, you need to at least have steel all around me." *beat, scene transition* Zenigata: "One meter thick steel, just as you requested." I'm still really enjoying this series, seriously wish it wouldn't end.

Mikl posted:As the thread's resident italian, I can answer that! Basically that - Lupin series were in constant rotation on Italian TV throughout the 80s and 90s, making for at least two generations of Lupin fans. It also helps that Lupin is as awesome as old timey anime gets.

I also have to say I love Jigen's voice. I don't know what it is, but it really stands out for me. E: And I'm assuming Lupin III Part 4 is a love letter to the Italian fan base considering it's primarily set in San Marino and Italy? E2: Something else I really like about Lupin and his gang is that they know exactly how close they can get to the line of life and death and not cross it to fool the people they're trying to outwit (eg Zenigata, etc). They plan for it a lot and it shows a lot of intelligence and control, I love it. Teriyaki Koinku fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Mar 10, 2016 |

The dubs for Lupin will always be my preference, really. Not only do I prefer the VA, but I feel that the loose translation and improvisation is more suited to preserving the feel of a series like Lupin. I was real glad to hear that Part 4 is getting an English dub.
