As usual, a really good episode. I will never understand why it isn't more popular around here.

Lily is definitely Dr. Watson's Daughter. I'm glad I'm not the only one that figured that out. I think the APC destruction scene was the anime's way of making up for the CGI. Which I just kind of accept now. Tho I will never watch the CGI Lupin movie. That was a bridge too far.

I grew up reading Sherlock Holmes as a boy and I watched Lupin parts 2 and 3 as a teen. So this season is like my childhood colliding! I always wanted to be like Lupin and Holmes, minus the cigarette smoking, being an alcoholic, and addiction to cocaine. You know these two guys vices. I guess these two are why I always found myself between both sides of the law. And don't have much respect for cops.

Part V was my fav season of all the Lupin I ever watched. I didn't get why so many others preferred Part IV, but there is enough great Lupin content for everyone. It doesn't seem like they are going to face the present, the way Part V did, but all I want is a great time. I think this season has what it takes, based off this episode. I just wish all these new anime fans would give Lupin a chance so it can get its due for the new generation. All these great stories over the past two season's and most fans won't even give it a watch.

To all my fellow Lupin fan's, lets strap in for a wild ride.

Really good first episode for this season. Production-wise, last 2 seasons had it better, especially with the car chases since I feel like it had less CG in them but it's still solid overall

Not in universe.
If we go with the Maurice Leblanc canon the name of the detective even should be Herlock Sholmes...

I get the feeling that Lestrade is a villain and he was the one who set off that bomb

Even though I wanted a new coloured jacket, I will absolutely not miss the blue one. Just never liked that design. Thought it was a good episode and start. Not sure how I feel about another linear Lupin series but I guess it's just what it is now.

Also the CGI cars are ugly as hell but stuff like that is just a product of modern anime I guess.

Solid first episode. Featured some nice action and I'm intrigued about the enemy and plot.

Not a fan of it being set in England as I feel that's a downgrade from France and Italy visually, but it is what is... Also, I don't like how this episode looked artistically compared to the looks of the two previous seasons. I feel like they were prettier and more impressive. The Goemon vs Tank and Motorcycle explosion scene were very nice looking though. And yeah, the CG cars were whack.

Anyway, glad a new season is here.

Pretty much this. I like the character designs though, and the plot seems pretty interesting. The introduction of Sherlock Holmes in theory should turn this more cerebral which would be a nice twist from the last season's sentimental focus...but its only the first episode so not getting my hopes up just yet. If the solution to the mystery is simple I really hope it won't drag across the entire season as that'd be kind of pointless. Part 5's arc based episodes was a really great way to frame their stories while semi linking them together.

Also I heard Mamoru Oshii will be writing an episode which would be a full circle career move considering he initially wanted to make the pink jacket feature film into something way more trippy and surreal but was rejected, a large portion of his ideas would later be used for Angel's Egg. I really can't wait to see an Oshii Lupin episode 💪🏾

I was also glad to see Albert back and hope this episode isn't his only appearance. He was cool in part 5.


I totally agree. Albert was such an interesting character in Part 5. Watching the two of them as thieves in training was so much fun. I wonder if his shared history with Lupin will come into play with The Raven.

So many great scenes in Episode 1 - I absolutely loved it when the Fiat flipped over clumsily after popping the wheelie. Lol

not feeling the 2021 lupin theme, something about it feels off for me. for me, part 4's theme still reigns supreme. the ending song is super nice though, another dope ending! sherlock holmes and lupin, gonna be an interesting duel. this episode felt kinda slow, but does set up the mystique about the raven

I love the OP and ED, but well that's some nice setup so far

That's pretty much what you would expect from a Lupin episode xD

Awesome start! I'm excited to know the answers to what we've been given so far. For Lil to straight up scream upon seeing Lupin is one thing. Who ended up getting the other part of the poster will be my other. I'm pretty excited! That OP had me pretty pumped, ha hah!

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

No, we aren't. Obviously Lupin knows them somehow, so most likely there will be some flashbacks and revelations to the past to where Lupin met Sherlock. They might have even have faced off. In the upcoming soundtrack for Lupin part 6, there is a track called Lupin vs Holmes and another track called Lupin vs Holmes Part 2. So perhaps the first track was in the past and the second track will be in the present. Alternatively, they might face off twice in the present. But either way, he met Sherlock, and Lily by association, off screen way before this season started.

I was wondering that myself. I've seen all the series and trying to figure out when they met. From what you said, its something that will be seen in flashbacks. There wasn't a past episode that aired that we've seen.

I've learned from my many years of anime (and esp. Lupin) things aren't as they seem. We see Lupin standing over Watson's body but I'm betting it was to shoot back at whoever killed him. Lily just saw the end.
Which one do you want? An Addiction or A Good Life?
A) Addiction - a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.
B) A Good Life - a progressive expansion of the things that bring you pleasure and includes pleasure through motivation and hard work.

Na het zien van ‘Narcos.
Peaky Blinders en Sherlock", raadde mijn vriend me aan om Lupin te kijken. Lupin Seizoen 3 wordt op 5 oktober op Netflix gestreamd, dus is het de moeite waard om daarvoor S1 en S2 te kijken?
