Anyone?

I will bump this as much as I need to.

>season 2
>the one where they pretend to be Nazis
>Goemon
>Fuma conspiracy (mainly because of that chase scene, and also Goemon)
>Green will always be THE Lupin to me, because that was how I first met the character

Fuma conspiracy was good, but it didn't have the original voice actors and they couldn't afford the music so they ended up using shitty music. The animation was top quality though. It could of been better.

By couldn't afford the music, I mean Yuji Ohno

I've been watching a lot of Lupin, currently watches every episode up to pink jacket ep35 and every movie/special made pre 2000 (except for Lupin XIII)

>>Favorite series
Season 1
>>Favorite episode
The one where Lupin is in prison for a year or longer and pretends to go insane.
The one with the guy framing Lupin blowing up bridges is great too.
>>Favorite Character
Lupin or Jigen. Probably them acting together.
>>Favorite movie/OVA
The one with the rich loli
>>Favorite Jacket
Blue looks really nice honestly. Else red, then green, then pink.

>The one with the rich loli
Farewell to Nostradamus really wasn't that good of a movie.

I am glad I managed to find a lot of enjoyment even out of something that's not actually good!

Just wanted to let you know you like a bad movie. It was important to say.

Bump

I thought it was okay.
Had a lot of interesting set pieces.

The weirdest thing is how it predicted Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

Is there a reason why they ride a fiat nowadays instead of the hitlermobile?

Explain?

That Douglas guy: super-rich, arrogant, built huge, pompous tower, wife looks like an ex-model, wants to announce his presidency campaign but the Nostradamous sect has his daughter...

Granted the character design makes him look more like Richard Nixon.

crossover when?

Letting little boys near Fujiko is not a good idea.

I'd kill for some Fujiko /ss/

>tfw we never got a proper Christmas special
Why are Japs assholes?

I'd also settle for some Fujiko s/m.

Man I met the guy that did Inspector Zenigatas voice getting on a plane in LA a few weeks ago. Dude has been doing Raidens voice of mortal combat for years.

I think you mean Jigen. He only played Zenigata ONCE in the Fujiko series (and a cameo in Jigen's Gravestone). He will be reprising his role as JIGEN in the upcoming dub of the Blue Jacket series. Also who gives a shit about Raiden? The guy has played a ton of great characters like Jigen and the Joker, but Raiden comes to your mind? Really?

It's the first thing he brought up dickhead. I was just repeating what he told me.

Well you tell him no one gives a shit about Raiden. Also ask him why he charges $20 for an autograph. I met Rob Paulen who voices fucking Yakko from Animaniacs, Pinky from Pinky and the Brain, Raphael on the original Ninja Turtles, and Donny on the new Ninja Turtles and he charges $20. If Rob charges $20, then Richard should only charge $10 at best. Also you should go on twitter and ask him when Blue Jacket is coming out or if they're at least finished dubbing it.

This is why everyone calls you autistic and no fun to be around, Sup Forums

your joke was mediocre.

Did you ask him about Chris Sabat?

Do you guys like my Lupin Blu Ray collection?

bump.

Is thread alive?

Last bump

So how long will this jacket last?

I feel like it should be another couple of years before he buys a new one.

tfw still no Italian Game subs

Jacket? I think two or three more years.
Any idea of we will get a second season? Did it do well in Japan?

My first figures ever came in, feels good.

Jesus Christ that characyer design is hideous. Her arms and legs are way too long and her legs look like I could break them touching her thighs too hard.

First volume sold like 2000 units

Is that any good? I don't know much about anime sales in Japan.

>you will never be a cool guy like Lupin

Why even live?

No

Normally that's pretty bad, but I don't know if it was daytime anime (in which case, the ratings are what matter) or a late night anime. Also, it was broadcasted in Italy first, so the ratings there also matter

What I do know is that the TV specials have had bad ratings in the last few years, which is why they stopped producing them on a yearly basis

>you'll never have a cool friend like jigen

How is the new series? I haven't finished the Mine Fujiko spinoff yet, I don't like how serious and dark it is

Looks cool, how much did they cost?

We already have gotten an entire series and 2 movies with the blue jacket. It's time to go back to Green and Red for a little bit, then move on to a new jacket with the blue one popping up every now and then.

>What I do know is that the TV specials have had bad ratings in the last few years, which is why they stopped producing them on a yearly basis

But some of them
We're really good. Jigen's gravestone was great. The 1st detective Conan crossover was really good, and Green Vs Red was interesting

The new series is more like the red jacket series. It's actually really really good with a lot of solid episodes.

You can get them for about $20 each.

I picked up the really recent ichiban kuji figs for Lupin and Jigen not that long ago, but these Master Stars figs look decent as well. Might get them, eventually.

Too bad most Lupin figs are prizes.

You got any pictures?

I haven't taken any of them, but my camera is a potato, seriously. Last time I posted a pic of some of my Lupin figs (which are, again, mostly prizes because there's hardly anything else), the thread died. I blame the bad picture quality.

Did the first two seasons of Lupin disappear from the Internet? I tried to watch this series but TT and Nyaa only have the third.

There is a whole collection that includes seasons movies and ova's.

Manda has them really cheap. Just picked up the lot.

Here's a great idea. The entire first season is on DVD. Also Discotek is putting out the second season on DVD. You could try.. Buying them..

Lupin
Is a nice man

Surprised to see thread is still active.

I hear he smiles.

I'd like to see what you have

I wonder if they'll ever get around to releasing part 3.

But he's cool
You know, he uses Walther
Yeah

Okay, here's a good bit of it. I've also got the green jacket Revoltech.

Does the machine cry?

Bang bang

Here's the ichiban kuji figures, plus the two Figuarts and some DVDs/BDs. I've need to get more of Discotek's Lupin releases.

On pre-order are the Jigen and Zenigata Figuarts, and I just ordered four of the Master Stars figures.

Sorry about the shit quality. I've never gotten around to getting a decent camera or photo set up.

Have they ever put out one with him in the pink jacket? There's also a Cagliostro one which is really cool.

How come you don't have the Green revo displayed with the rest? Also did you get the new SHF Blue Jacket Lupin? It's a great figure.

Never mind.

Ignore

I like you. You seems like a true Lupin fan. I have a few of the Lupin BD like Castle of Cagliostro, jigen's Gravestone, and the Fujiko series. I'd love to get Fuma, Gold Babylon, Walther P38, Missed by a Dollar, and Mamo on Blu Ray if they ever decide to put them out.

Do you have any of the Manga?

Not him, but I do! I fucking love the old monkey punch style.

To my knowledge there's no pink jacket toy. I could be wrong, though; Lupin has a ton of little figures and RAH dolls that I never got into.

I don't have green jacket Revoltech Lupin on display because I honestly don't know where to put him. Maybe I'll stick him onto the back of Fujiko's bike or something.

I really would like more Lupin on BD as well, but in the meanwhile I do plan on getting more of their DVD releases. They flew under my radar because I don't buy DVDs much.

>Do you have any of the Manga?
I do. They're great; the writing and art are both top notch.

My only problem with the manga and I don't know if this is an accurate translation, but they kind of make Lupin British with certain things he says. There are times where he'll say "bloody hell", "mate", and "old boy" which I don't particularly like. It may be in the original Japanese and I could be wrong, but it just seems off.

Also I sometimes don't know what the hell is going on in a panel and it takes me a minute or so to figure out what happened as I keep reading. That could be just because I'm not use to reading manga or comics in general. Just takes me awhile to figure out what goes on.

They are good and funny stories. I think my favorite chapters so far are Lupin in jail and flowers for fujiko.

I'm so glad with how blue jacket turned out. I wasn't a fan of the fujiko mine show by and large, so it was nice to have the crew back to form

Does anyone have manga scanlations?

I really enjoyed the Fujiko series because of the art and the episodes that weren't focused on the main plot. Some of the episodes like the Jigen 2-parter and the Phantom of the Opera are great episode. I'm just happy it exists. I'd take more Lupin over less Lupin. I also like how it makes it very obvious it takes place before series 1. There are some really cool deep cuts in it.. Oh and the music is wonderful.

The new series is more traditional and it's more like the Lupin we all know and and love. Lots of great episodes and some really great animation. I can't wait for the North American Blu Ray release. Kind of wish they'd update us.

A lot of them were never scanned and probably won't ever be due to them being out of print. Just buy them.

>just buy them
nah

If you want to read Lupin, why wouldn't you buy them? They're worth it.

Do you have any of the Most Wanted manga?

I enjoyed the Fujiko series for what it was, even though it was different. It looked fantastic, for one, and the music was great. It was neat how well they showed that it was a prequel, as well.

Unfortunately, not yet. But I will, eventually.

Do you have any art books? Do you collect any of the Cels?

No to both, though I wouldn't mind art books. I just haven't looked for any for Lupin.

I have some cels, but none are from Lupin. Cels are something that I don't really want to get into because it can get pretty crazy. I have some friends that are big time cel collectors and that's a whole different level of buyfaggotry.

I currently have a cel of Lupin which I just had to have. It's nothing special but just to have a piece of something that was in the actual show is kind of surreal. They don't seem like much in pictures, but in hand they are beautiful. I'm not gonna get a ton of them, but I'd like to get at least 1 from each series and 1 from Cagliostro.

I love Lupin more than any other anime franchise so literally anything that's apart of it, I try to get my hands on.

Do you Cosplay as Lupin? Maybe even Fujiko?

Bump

>So how long will this jacket last?

We'll know whenever a new tv special gets announced, I guess. If he doesn't go back to the Red Jacket, then it means that Blue might last for a while.

Jigen's Gravestone and Green vs Red weren't tv specials though. Out of those, the only one that was a tv special was the 1st Conan crossover.

I'm tired of blue. It's just too casual and dull. I'm ready something else

Bump.

His next jacket will likely be orange, it was the last one inside his closet that he hasn't worn in the episode where Puma tried to kill him.

I guarantee we'll get a purple jacket before orange.

Nice man

The wardrobe doesn't lie dude.

Well it does lie apparently since Green came before red in terms of the series.

They don't have to necessarily be in order, it's just that every jacket in the wardrobe except the orange one has appeared at some point in the series.

And I'm sure we'll get orange... After purple.

He smiles

But does he get angry?

You're not gonna get away this time Lupin.

Do you guys collect action figures?

Bump

I have some volumes but not the entire thing.
