wakka9ca said: It like a "prequel" as it actually talk about the past of the characters and how they met, etc. thank you xD would it be too much if i asked for the other series name ? O.o i was kinda confused when i searched it ... i wasn't sure which is which, or which to watch first ! |

Hakuromatsu said: I'm a Lupin III virgin and just watched the first episode -- and I didn't feel at a loss. I didn't even know Fujiko was a series mainstay until I read the synopsis afterward. mp said: Lupin was some kind of episodic but it would be good if you knew a little about the other characters aswell. But I think it should be fine. Ok thanks for your answers :) |
| Really solid first episode. This is also a great example of nudity being used to show the essence of a character instead of feeling like just fan service. This convince me to continue on with the original TV series. I need to find that manga. |

| wow. DAT ANIMATION. Stellar. Simply beautiful and the story is fun. So stylistic... and right up my alley! |

| That was legit Lupin right there! And, I think I could look at Fujicakes titties forever! @_@ 5/5 Urahara Out!! |

Rogueleader17 said: Loved it, as someone who loved the original series I's say this is pretty awsome so far. As for those put off by the excessive nudity, I thought it was pretty vital in portraying the Fujiko as someone who will sink to any low to get what she wants. Not all nudity is meant for fanservice, this was obviously made for more of a mature audience. I can't wait to see what they do with the other charactors in the next episodes. This is what makes Lupin fun to want to watch. It's geared towards the older fans and adults and thus reflects that in characters. The nudity is so well done that it didn't slip in the ecchi trap. We are seeing adults, not kiddies. I have watched a couple of the original series and did enjoy it because of the humor. Also this OP is so much better. This is one of my top 5 animes of this season. mp said: Lupin was some kind of episodic but it would be good if you knew a little about the other characters aswell. But I think it should be fine. You make it sound like a bad thing. If done well an excellent series can be episodic. One doesn't need to have multi-episodes to tell a good story. I've seen to many bad series that were multi-episodic. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| My first Lupin series... I've been meaning to watch the originals for aaages but I've never gotten around to it. It was all right. I'm not really a fan of episodic anime, though. And I wasn't really a fan of the art either... oh well, I'll give it till ep 4. |
| Oh holy fucking god, this was good. As an artist and person, the style is one that falls in line with my taste. I thought Sankarea was the best anime this season before watching this. It was just one episode, but I'm so damn stoked right now. Oh and how about that music!!! |

| I love Lupin. But then I don't like the animation style.. I haven't quite decide yet to continue watching it or not. |
| My anime collection - Anime Re-Encode |
| Not bad, not bad at all. This is my type of anime tbh considering Fujiko Mine is the typical femme fatale. Also, dem uncensored scenes. I like. |
 |
| The animation took some time getting used to, and I'm not particularly fond of the OP, but other than that this was pretty damn awesome! |
 |
| Absolutely beautiful art design. The characters look gorgeous too, specially Fujiko. One can really feel that Watanabe had a hand producing this. |

| Well that was quite the action packed first encounter between Lupin and Fujiko. Seriously, so much happened it felt like a full length film, and Jigen and Goemon haven't even shown up yet! :D The art style on display here was very pleasing to my eye too, good stuff. |
| And thus the rivalry began. |

| Great start! Tbh i kinda didin't like the artstyle at first, but it grew on me. Also watching this on BD, Fujiko Boobs!!! That Sawashiro voice :O Interesting to see Watanabe being involve here somehow. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| This reminds me of the story where police got people high by burning a mountain of marijuana they were trying to get rid of. |

| I loved everything about this, the animation the art style the music everything's just so stylish. |
| Great first episode, with nice style. |
 |
| One of the best pilot episodes I've ever seen. It really set the pace for the show's direction and emphasis on fujiko. I have a huge pet peeve for badly pasted fanservice, but this is not only tolerable for a stubborn ass like me but appreciated in strengthening the importance of sensuality in Fujiko's character and trade. I came out of the episode, convinced, if anything, that you cannot have an authentic Fujiko without her practiced perfectionist wiles. I never thought Spice and Wolf would be topped, but I'll be damned. And yes, this is the first episode, but I already feel there is so much depth and complexity to lupin and fujiko, something the newer 2015 (different, not inferior) didn't hold a candle to. Lupin became far more badass, you actually see how he reacts to being shot at, and the plans he comes up on the spot and beforehand in anticipation! I am relatively new to Lupin, but the last one I watched, Lupin kinda just comes out on top without showing the shit he had to go through. Damn good episode and a refreshing escape from the whacky fun light hearted lupin in the newest reboot. |

| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| Fantastic episode. I swear the Lupin franchise is one of the most underrated things out there. |
| :3 |
| Interesting show so far. I wonder how it'll be dragged out for two seasons, though? Love the art style. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Ooooh, I LIKE it. It's a visual feast, and the characters seem interesting (I've never watched anything about Lupin), looking forward to the next episode! |

Damn, for some reason I forgot I was watching this and started watching again after a year or so. |
| Not the biggest fan of the animation/art style. But apart from that everything clicked for me. |
| Just finished the first season of Lupin III and I must say I loved the gang and decided to start watching this right away and I'm speechless at how amazing the first episode was. This just started and I'm already in love. It has the potential to be the greatest ecchi anime I watched to the date. I really like Fujiko and I'm really curious about her past and how all this Lupin-Fujiko dynamic started. Bonus points for managing to be serious and at the same time include all the over-the-top actions present in Lupin III. And it's not even necessary to mention how visually stunning and exquisite this anime is! |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| Good shit. Man, Fujiko was so erotic this episode. Makes me question why they decided to tame her a bit on part 4 lol. and NIKIIE's voice from (K)NoW_NAME :D |
| I can see the resemblance with Redline It feels like a different Lupin without the colorful background, character shading-thingy, also no silly action & jokes I never liked Fujiko, but maybe there'll something interesting in this spinoff |

| Talk about intense! So this was how Lupin's and Fujiko's first meeting went down in this timeline, with both of them targeting the same thing. Well, she is one "mighty fine woman", who left one hell of a first impression on him. A woman who can kill his boredom, though that's kind of condescending of him to say. They got so much in the way of one another that the "treasure" went to waste, but it was one action-packed heist for sure. |
 |
| Fujiko Mine + Miyuki Sawashiro = hottest combi. Dig the erotic vibe and the artwork with comic-esque shading is great. Definitely a pleasant surprise. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Very different from the usual Lupin formula, but I already knew this was going to be different ahead of time. They sure upped Fujiko's seductiveness in this lol. The ED foreshadows she had a rather rough upbringing, which explains her personality differences in this version. Curious as to where Sayo Yamamoto will take this. |
| Starting to watch this after seeing the previous series, not the movies, and boy is it different. Based on this episode this is closer to the beginning of the first series, a darker incarnation with just a bit of humour. Which is great. Part II did have some great, funny moments, but the comedy in the franchise has been a bit hit and miss, so I prefer this tone compared to the disaster called Part III. The art style is great, pretty psychedelic, and the plot was okay. A bit too much service for my taste. When Fujiko goes around almost naked, it's not seduction anymore, lacking subtlety. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the character here. |
| That was such a lush episode and there is this macabre mood going on that got me intrigued for what might come next. |
| Well that looked amazing, given the staff involved. The artstyle reminded me of the original pilot with all the pencil brushlines and such. Also, is it just me or that Oscar character near Zenigata is a callback to an eponymous character from Rose of Versailles? They even look similar somewhat. |
| Whoa what an episode! Stylized, sizzling and sexy! What more could you ask for? But, seriously the animation style and direction are pretty great based on first impressions in my opinion. Did really enjoy Lupin's and Fujiko's competition with each testing one another playing to their various strengths and tricks and although Fujiko ended up dissolving the treasure goal (LOL Lupin is just like well best not to let this drug supply go to waste everybody come on in the water is great XD plus it makes for a great way to evade the authorities) and their contest of skill seemingly ending in a tie Lupin's stealth message on Fujiko's inner thigh really surprised her that Lupin did score a one up on her she hadn't noticed living up to his legacy as the grandson of thee original gentleman thief. "I will steal Fujiko Mine" - Lupin the III what a sendoff! Take it seriously Fujiko you will need to be on the best of your best game if you want to come out on top! Thus, this is essentially a new retelling of how Fujiko and Lupin first met with her as the main driving character this lends itself to some interesting and exciting possibilities. Plus seeing Lupin while still attracted and enticed by Fujiko being more upfront street wise with her tricks is a refreshing dynamic. And of course Fujiko is drop dead beautiful and so sexy you can just feel that electric energy from her aura; a multitude of knockout outfits plus classy action packed nudity :D as I said before what more could you ask for? I believe I will enjoy going through this era of the Lupin III franchise and I look forward to what this creative retelling has on the horizon! |
