I'm actually more excited about the Zenigata film than the theatrical one because it's been so long since Zenigata was in the spotlight. Part 6 treated him terribly. Maybe the second Lupin in that film will be a clone created by Mamo. If so, I'd love if the clone honestly believed himself to be...

Looks epic and gorgeously animated, but I can't believe I have to look at Jigen's hair puff again. That he combed his hair back was what I most liked about his character design in Koike's stuff.

I honestly enjoyed this movie way more than a lot of the run of the mill TV specials. I liked the cast, even the new characters like Michael, and I was invested in where the story was going. There was a lot I loved, like the part where they recruited Goemon, the way the dynamic between Jigen and...

That would make a lot of sense, and it'd be a good way to pull in new people who haven't seen the OVAs yet, or in a long time. It's going to be six years since Fujiko's Lie when this movie comes out. I'd love for the whole movie to be a new thing, but if there's at least one OVA's worth of new...

Nice to complete the collection, but this is a pretty irrelevant special for me, apart from the intro. Very curious what they mean by "a big news item" coming up. The only thing I can think of is putting a previously DVD-only title on BD with a new dub. Maybe Fuma, Green vs. Red, or even...

I have incredibly mixed feelings on it. There are elements in it that are some of the best Lupin content ever - I love the backgrounds, character designs, animation, Albert is my favourite character, Zenigata's Pride and the Desert Dust is one of the best episodes in the entire franchise, and I...

That's actually more or less why I don't vibe with Part 5 as a whole even though I adore some elements in it. I'm just fundamentally not interested in the story they wanted to tell with the characters, or how they chose to tell it by leaving it as this mysterious thing that happened in the past...

I love Part 4! The colours, the animation, the character designs, Italy as a cultural backdrop, all of it is tailor-made for me. There are some great episodes in it, like the haunted hotel episode, or the Japan episode. Even the worst episode (for me, the love wine one) has some fun and...

Personally, I would most like a TV special that is entirely stand-alone with no references to anything else, so not even Yata hanging out with Zenigata, even though I really like him. I'd just really like to see something new and fresh. I don't really like how Zenigata has been portrayed in the...

More heists and treasure hunting, less politics. That whole two-parter in Part 6 about the campaigning politician and deep fakes and whatever was going on there felt like the opposite of what I want to see in Lupin. Bring back cult leaders, mob bosses and filthy rich collectors/aristocrats but...

I think you're taking people too literally. Most people don't always add a disclaimer that what they're saying is only their personal headcanon, especially when posting them here in the headcanon section of the board. It's implied by the context. And even elsewhere, when people say stuff like...

I have nothing major to add, but I just want to highlight this part because it really hits the nail on the head about why fandom is so much fun. Lupin already has built-in possibilities for this mindset, but even more tightly written canons are more fun when you approach them like this, imo.

I think we're more or less in agreement. I was just expressing my frustrations with kind of discussions in general because they so often lead to hurt feelings. Lupin fandom is super chill, but in other fandoms I've seen things get really hostile if someone expresses disagreement with the...

I do not believe that there's been a systematic effort over the years from the creators to portray Jigen as being into men. Do I care? Not one bit; my heart says he's into men (and women, but more into men, and his relationships with them are different). For me, fandom is all about fanworks and...

Kyosuke Mamo is funnier, more entertaining, and the whole time travel gimmick could be used in really creative ways if the writers wanted to. I really like him as a character, especially in Elusiveness of the Fog even if that special is mediocre in almost every way. I'd love to see him again...

Yeah, to be honest, I think a lot of official Lupin merch is kind of boring, aside from the figures. There's so much more they could do with the characters. There was some Valentine's chocolate promotion a year or two back that was really fun, though. I glued the foot back, but it's noticeable...

Wow, I'm really impressed by what you guys have, especially the figures! Back when my love for Lupin was at its peak, I got a set of those figures where the characters are sitting on a chair. The only one I'm missing is Rebecca, which I feel was part of that set, but I'm not sure. I also have...

I read Thick as Thieves the other day, and I really liked the longer story about Lupin trying to take back his family's island from the guy who'd established a micro nation there. Has that story ever been adapted in the anime in any shape or form? It'd make for an interesting TV special with...

I love Part 2 episode 147, The Mermaid that Disappeared in the Midnight Sun. It's such a fun heist episode, but not quite as good as several other Part 2 episodes, so I don't often see people talk about it.

Everything here looks so much better than the US release. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of Part 6, I might get this just because of the booklet and lovely packaging.
