DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 Wow, I wanna see this. Produced by the director of Cowboy Bebop. I've always liked the Lupin series... this one definitely seems more dark and edgy. Comes out tomorrow on Blu-Ray for $36 on amazon. Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON!

Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 I'd like to watch it just based off that trailer. I've never seen any of the Lupin series, so I might be a bit lost in terms of characters tho. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Nah, I started it on a random season when it played on Adult Swim years ago when I fell in love with it. One of the movies is on netflix. but its kinda slow paced compared to the series. Its a heist anime featuring Lupin, Jigen and Goemon as the man culprits, and Fujiko is a wild card that is sometimes on their side, but mostly out for herself. This series seems to focus more on her than past seasons have.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lupin_III_characters Just read that, and you're good to go. 1 Sledgstone reacted to this Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON!

Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted August 20, 2013 Decent overall. Good animation. Quote I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted February 18, 2014 Started watching this on Funimation's streaming service... I love the darker more gritty tone so far. Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeathscytheX 9,732 Report post Posted February 21, 2014 Now that I finished this, I really liked it. I'm a big Lupin fan. I love the old series. I love the movies. I liked the approach they took for this. It felt like a real reboot. While more serious in nature, and the less clumsy Zenigata... it still captured the spirit of the series. Lupin was still goofy, Fujiko was still dark and sexy, but the takes on Jigen and Goemon were really intriguing. The new voice acting for Zenigata really worked, and Lieutenant Oscar was an added bonus. I would love them to continue in this style... It was great how they kept the classic anime style, while updating it with a darker shading tone. It really worked. Quote GET A NEW FUNK ON BEFORE YOU GET DUMPED ON!
