Even if you don't like this movie, you have to admit; This movie is bringing in a big audience who didn't know what Lupin was before they saw the trailer and are now interested. I think that's a good thing.

It's not the same as featuring Nazis in an Indiana Jones story, but considering Lupin the 3rd was a heist comic originally published in the 60s, it's not that unusual that Nazi gold would be at stake.

Watch Castle of Cagliostro

[@drdewott9154]

Yeah I'm not too familiar with Lupin the 3rd either but I might as well give a synopsis based on what I know. So Lupin the 3rd and his gang featuring the gunmaster and voice of reason Jigen, and the old fashioned but quite overpowered Goemon, travel the world stealing valuabes and treasures for the thrill of it and for Lupin to honor his family line of thivery. They aren't exactly super bad guys, often encountering people much more on the evil side of things than they are. They often sit in a grey area so to speak morally. The gang is constantly followed by Inspector Zenigata, from the Police who is hellbent on trying to lock Lupin up behind bars, along with Fujiko, Lupin's "crush" so to speak (He's quite perverted a lot of the time) but also a massive manipulator, often using the gang in order to get what she wants, leaving them in the dirt. Depending on which season or movie you watch the tone can vary widely from being super serious, gory, deep and harsh, to goofy and slapsticky, or anywhere in between. The world of Lupin the 3rd follows any kind of logic it wants to follow, even if non existant depending on what's the most fun in a given situation. I mean just look at any scene involving Goemon using his weapon. If you wonder where to start, it doesn't matter too much since the show is episodic and each season is self contained. Though one of the most beloved seasons is part 2, being one of the more comedic ones focusing most on the character interactions. The newer part 5 is also pretty highly praised, and the movie "Castle of Cagliostro" is also very loved, partly for being Hayao Miyazaki's first film (the guy who would go on to create Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro amongst other famous films).

[@adzi6164]

@@Jothomas214 >and a lot more kid-friendly u wot m8 The tone and kid-friendliness varies greatly between the various series and movies. The "Castle of Cagliostro" is quite family-friendly, but the original manga and the anime series "The Woman Called Fujiko Mine" is adult entertainment, period. Not even counting that movie about Goemon, where his sword is actually put to use in cutting human beings...

[@TeddyCream0]

I wasn't expecting LEX LANG to be here. His performance as goemon is awesome!

There's a much of lupin movies you gotta watch more than just that one even tho its lowkey the best one

[@LordKunTube]

Cagliostro is unbeatable as best Lupin movie, but this one (I've already seen it) is the second best for sure! Don't miss it!

[@alessandrogordillo1998]

This looks like the 3D Version of Castle of Cogliostro.

[@dawnray540]

After much of how bad 2020 has been for me, seeing this classic with a fresh coat of paint really made my day.

[@Phoreverman]

I never wanna hear another Lupin cast than this

[@WhiteManOnCampus]

The best theme, the best English cast... We need another scene of Zenigata's classic "Crap, crap, damn it all, crap, crap, crap!"

[@nokafe6667]

Could you imagine cowboy bebop in this cg artstyle.

[@foobarbazquux]

I’d love it and hate it simultaneously

[@MrPool-vr6mi]

It doesn't fit cowboy bebop. It would be too light hearted.

[@GoddoDoggo]

@@MrPool-vr6mi There was a Chinese CG cartoon that came out a year or two ago, and it was very serious in tone, and I thought it worked pretty well. "The Snake" or something. Also Ed is pretty cartoony, she'd be great in CG.

[@mystique8134]

Bruh the chills

[@MrPool-vr6mi]

@@GoddoDoggo Are you talking about white snake? I don't think white snake is that serious in tone. The fight scenes are pretty goofy, while Cowboy Bebop grounds their fight scenes in realism when the atmosphere is more serious. There is no way you can portray something like Asteroid Blues or Ballad of the Fallen Angels in this CG Style without loosing a lot of that dark feel. If the CG were more cinematic looking that might work, but definitley not in this style and I doubt any company would actually invest in a realistic CG that would be required for a Cowboy Bebop animation. Live-Action would probably be the better option if you find the right showrunner (which I don't think Netflix has btw, but thats another discussion).

[@파이브-t6w]

I'm hoping for another 3D animated movie cause I know I'm going to re-watch this hundreds of times. This whole series is a masterpiece of its own...

[@vincent207]

It's been months since the first teaser dropped, and I still can't get over how perfect the translation from 2D to CG is.

[@PresidentPixel]

Never heard of this before but I saw the thumbnail I thought to myself “this has got to be based off an anime” and I was correct it looks incredible! This is what the people deserve when it comes to animation since animation is not just limited to kids but adults as well! Looking forward to this one for sure!

This cast! This particular set of voices DEFINE the characters in my eyes.

FUN FACT!: LUPIN III: The First was animated by TMS Entertainment's 3D Animation Studio, Marza Animation Planet!, the same studio behind the Sonic: Night of the Werehog short film (as Sega Sammy VE Animation Studios) and Co-Animated the Sonic Movie with Paramount Animation!!! They also Animated many of the CG Cutscenes in many of SEGA's hit Games like Sonic Generations and Phantasy Star Online 2! TMS Entertainment is also the Same Guys who made, Sonic X, Lupin III, AKIRA, Dr. Stone, Detective Conan (Case Closed), Tower of God, Magic Knight Rayearth, Fruits Basket (2020), Rent-A-Girlfriend and Megalo Box!

well to be clear TMS is a huge company, and those anime uve mentioned is produced by their subsidiary, so lots of diffrent qualities and people working here, but goddamn whatever it is looking at CG lupin and that tms logo on the beginning instead of western animation studios gave me chills

[@davidwright4721]

Used to watch Lupin the third when I was in high school in the mid 90s. Glad to see a movie made!!!!

[@danielwilson4799]

I stumbled upon Lupin as a kid. Couldn't stop laughing at the antics Lupin gets into with Zenigata. My first episode was when Fujiko saw Nessy and it all spiraled form there. Hearing these voices brings me so much nostalgia.

[@Miztli3]

Lupin fighting Nazis, this is the best song ever!!!

[@GLDragon93]

Well as far as I remember Part I of the anime had several time Lupin facing Nazis

[@Jothomas214]

Miztli3 Indiana Jones (used to) fight Nazis, too and also had the best song. Don’t forget about that.
