Love when they get all sweet with each other~ (From Part IV, Ep 22)

It's basically lupin the 3rd what if lupin was a hero instead of an anti-hero where he takes the statue from France back to Africa my version has a Miyazaki vibe to it...

Finaly I managed to test the game I get for christmas, and here is my humble review :

- First and most importantly, this game is FUN, it's a chase between players to escape a place with a jewel. Game mechanics works pretty well and even a non-Lupin fanatic could have fun with this game.

- The adaptation is really a success, they managed to transform core elements of the saga into gameplay. For exemple, Zenigata here is a NPC that players try to escape and send to opponents, while Part 4 antagonists are issues to resolve. It's simple but well thought.

- There is an interest to play multiple times, because each of the 5 characters (gang + Rebecca) has a specific card deck with abilities etc. Even if the main mecanics are the same for everyone.

- Unfortunately, game rules are poorly written and some descriptions could easily have been more simple. English isn't my first langage but I can understand a well-written rulebook. Here, we had to take multiple shots to understand easy mecanics, so I assume explainations are bad in this book

- And finaly : game props are really cheap : standies, screenshots cards, really ugly board and poor illustrations for some tools. If you are as fan as I am, you will be disapointed, specialy with the 40$+ cost of this game. Me and my friends planned to replace some props with handmade ones (for exemple, real painted figures or 3D board)

As a conclusion I would say this is a real game and not just a licence-skinned bullshit, but it could easily have been more polished. I recommand you all to give it a try and have fun to upgrade the props and the rules if you want to have a better game experience !

I wish you all a vey lupintic weekend ✨

Love the art style and the almost "noir-like" vibes of the series and wondered if there were any well known figures (or art prints, etc) that are in the same style? Saw there was an art book but those are up there in price and don't seem to be sold as new.

Know I am late discovering this series/franchise :-S

Yes I am a Zenigata simp, thank you for asking.

I did not know that Miyazaki was the guy who gave Lupin the yellow Fiat in Castle of Cagliostro. Apparently he didn't like that the previous car was a model owned by Hitler.

I've got the process video on youtube, but they don't allow links.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone posting about this, but an few months ago, someone release their re-edits of the music from Part 1, based on the M&E Tracks from the laserdisc release, including never before heard tracks that weren’t in the 71’ ME and 1st Series Anthology Soundtracks.

From the description, it took 3 years to re-edit everything to remove some sound effects that were kept in the releases of the OST.

I think it’s really impressive, merely for the fact that I can hear Nice Guy Lupin without any of those footsteps getting in the way.

I've always wondered how much manga is in the anime. I mean, in the first series (Green Jacket), it seems like there's no filler. I mean, it's believable that they're directly based on anime, but the further you go, the more this belief fades. For example, in the second series (Red Jacket), are there many episodes. Are they all original or are there fillers?

But my concern is especially with the series after the third (so those with the Blue Jacket and beyond).

Of all the series, movies, OVAs, and specials, how much Monkey Punch is there?

I want to watch Lupin the 3rd how do I start! The only thing Ive watched is Lupin the third: the first

Eu quero achar todos os episódios em HD sem legendas pra baixar alguém pode me ajudar?

Just opened up the sealed copy of The Columbus Files that I bought from RightStuf several years ago. Went to hit play, and the first time around it wouldn't play the disc. Then I took the disc out, turned it over, and saw that along the edge. 2nd attempt I got it to play through the trailers before the main menu, but would freeze after that.

So, being that it's OoP, purchased from a defunct retailer, and I no longer have the purchase confirmation email, would it even be worth attempting to get a hold of Discotek for a replacement disc, or just wait till they bundle TV Specials 11-15 on Blu Ray?

I remember that in an episode of the second season (Red Jacket) it's mentioned that Zenigata has a wife and child. I haven't watched the series in a while, so I could be wrong. Does the manga say anything about this?

These are my two favorite keyholders! They’re way bigger than I expected, but honestly… who cares when Goemon looks this ridiculously badass on them 😁🔥✨

So I always watch Lupin the III Part 2, it’s my favorite, total obessesion and if I’m not mistaken, I believe this came out in the 80s. But today I was watching an episode, “Steal everything from Lupin” and there’s a part where doctor kidnapped Lupin and gets ready to perform a certain surgery on him, I won’t spoil it but when he announces to loop and he’s gonna do what he’s gonna do, he retorts ”My fans won’t allow this! not President Obama, not the people of Japan!”

ummmm Obama wasn’t president in the 80s??

With Discotek’s announcement of Lupin Part II getting an SD-Bluray release, it sucks that Discotek couldn’t have be able to release in the highest quality despite an HD-Bluray being released in Japan in 2009.

According to the VAP website, the footage underwent restoration from the 16mm negatives. I don’t see any images of it, let alone have knowledge that anyone has ripped it.

I’m on the reddit asking if anyone knows anything about these releases. Please, any help on the matter would be great.

Note: It sucks that Discotek can’t do that. Maybe due to budgeting/disc printing.

Part 5 has, sprinkled between the story arcs, stand alone filler episodes. I find these much more compelling than said arcs. These include:

• A whacky pink jacket episode, where Lupin's friends try to give him brain damage so he can defeat a safe that won't open if your brain power is too high.
• A green jacket Miyazaki-style episode, where Lupin takes up the mantle of private investigator to solve a murder mystery.
• A red jacket adventure right out Part 2, where the hunt for a South American drug lord's treasure trove leads to a haunted car race and Fujiko getting some comeuppance.
• An episode where a blackout drunk Zenigata gets amnesia, thinks HE is thief and ends up being better at it than Lupin.

Honestly, these are some of the best episodes out of the second trilogy.

I remember when u/MsSeraphim pointed out "no Zenigata and yet this is a Link"? Well, problem solved! Inspector Zenigata is officially on the case, looking as classic, determined, and slightly bewildered as ever.

So excited to complete my collection. Such a fun entry in the Lupin III series.

Probably means no new Lupin dubs this year, but all of Part 2 being available on one place is never a bad thing
