This will be the last Lupin thread for the year of 2016 unfortunately. Luckily though 2017 will be the year of Lupin with a bunch of Lupin releases as well as being the 50th anniversary for the Lupin franchise.
The NEW theatrical Lupin III Film "Blood Spray of Goemon" will be released in Japan on February 4th, so I will be making a few threads a week leading up to the release. It is a sequel to Jigen's Gravestone and the Fujiko Mine spinoff series. It will mark the debut of BLACK Jacket Lupin as well as having Goemon as the main protagonist since 1987's Fuma Conspiracy (which will be having it's 30th anniversary in 2017).
and as a bonus the official trailer for the dub of Blue Jacket series which will be released in 2017 on Blu Ray/DVD by discotek. If you don't care for dubs, it will also feature new subs obviously. youtu.be/YrKLNFWu5VA
this thread isn't limited to the new releases. feel free to discuss anything Lupin related.
also I notice a lot of people come to these threads who want to get into Lupin but don't know where to start so here is what I suggest you watch.
(Green) First series - (Watch all of it} (Red) Second series - (Watch some of it) (Pink) Third Series - (Watch some of it) (Blue) Forth Series - (Watch all of it)
once you've seen enough of the red jacket series, feel free to start the movies. all of the series is episodic for the most part so their isn't a main storyline that needs to be followed until you get to part 4. Anyway here are the movies you should watch in this exact order once you have seen enough of red jacket.
Mystery of Mamo Castle of Cagliostro Legend of the Gold Babylon Fuma Conspiracy Hemingway Papers In Memory of Walther P38 Missed by a Dollar
when you're done with these, feel free to watch the rest of the movies however you like. I have left out some other good films but these ones are essential.
once you have finished with all you wanted to see, check out the Fujiko Mine spinoff series to see if you like it. It serves as a prequel to the green jacket series but it does have a main story as well as being episodic so you may need to watch all of it. Be aware it is darker in tone. Once you have finished that, watch it's sequel OVAs which is called Jigen's Gravestone. once you have finished Jigen's Gravestone watch it's sequel film Blood Spray of Goemon which comes out on February 4th.
Everything comes full circle. Hope this helps.

also for those who are interested Red Jacket collection 1 will be out on the 10th. So less than 2 weeks away. it will contain the 1st 40 episodes of the series sub and dub, as well as having audio commentaries as well as other special features including the original adult swim bumpers.
