| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- "If Italy is the country of love, then all of love is in my hands." - Lupin the III We start this episode, titled "Lupin's marriage", with some exposition about San Marino out of nowhere, while Zenigata is invited to the titular marriage. Zenigata breaking inside the church all hot and bothered, the bride:"Who's this guy, your boyfriend?" lol The bride in question, Rebecca Rossellini, is the heiress of the biggest italian hotel chain, model, stylist, girlfriend of various famous pepole and all around celebrity paper cover material. I shouldn't add that Fujiko is absolutely jealous about this whole marriage, and also because her and Lupin are both aiming at the same objective, the crown of San Marino. And it turns out that Rebecca too wants the crown, and sends a fake message to the police claiming to be Lupin, and that's the reason why Zenigata is here. She disguised herself as a policeman and infiltrated the place where the held the crown and stole it. Not only that, she actually managed to beat Lupin and escapes with the loot. Meanwhile, Fujiko and Lupin decide to work together mostly as a repayment for the engagement ring she bought for Lupin's marriage. We cut to Piazza di Spagna in Rome as a lanky guy scowls at nowhere in particular. End of the episode. Overall it's not the strongest episode in terms of plot or heist, it's more of an episode that sets up the series as it introduces a new rivarly with Rebecca, since she too is interested in stealing precious artifacts. The animation however is top notch, the whole second half of the episode is one escape after another over the roofs and the woods of San Marino and it's some really fluid work. In conclusion, lots of potential, lots of fun. Looking forward to this new series! 5/5 |

| So Lupin is in San Marino. He wants to steal the crown of San Marino, but a lady named Rebecca Rossellini got finally the crown. Three more episodes on Italia 1 today, blue jacket hype is real! |
| First four episodes in Italy right now (just finished the first one). The marriage was interesting, well, it's basically the old comedy Lupin. Animation made characters really skinny. Fujiko is much better than Rebecca. The end of the episode is a bit disappointing, Lupin gets always fooled around by women. Uhm, I believe it's the first time we italians get an anime before Japan. |

I am not italian, but I've always been watching Italia 1 since I can remember (I am going to an italian school) I am not sure why would we get 4 eps in a row O.o... Too bad they had to change Lupin's and Jigen's voic actors ;( But I think we'll get used to it soon In Italy the dubbers change a lot of times. Old episodes were dubbed in the '90s. For me main voices are good, except Rebecca, I can't stand her voice. |

For the 4 episodes in a row ,its just "italian Style" Binge watching anime in the '90s before Netflix and Hulu were invented. Yeah, I remember that he died like other historical dubbers. |

Haneken2086 said: Uh, if I may ask, where did you catch this? Is it online? And thanks for the info. On italian television, the channel name is called Italia 1. Four episodes on a row to start the series. You can watch some images from the official site of the television if you're interested. http://www.mediaset.it/italia1/foto/1328/lupin-iii-l-avventura-italiana.shtml It does not have an official online streaming unlike some other italian channels that are free to watch online. |

| It feels so good to have more lupin back on the tv. The dub is fine, i'm sad to hear the old va died. this ep wasn't the strongest but 2, 3 and 4 were better. There were many ridiculous momento but that's what i like about lupin. Rebecca is so annoying tho... And i must be the only person in Italy who likes the opening. It's so trashy it's good |

It's so trashy it's good I like when Giorgio Vanni sings, not so much Moreno, but I don't hate it like 99% of the italian web. Maybe because I never heard of Moreno before the song. Rebecca probably is going to be here for the whole series, so annoying. |

| Well that was pretty basic, but fun Lupin. I liked Rebecca quite a bit, won't mind if she's a recurring character. |
| That was pretty entertaining. I hope we get to see more Rebecca; she's awesome. Also, football next episode. ;) |

| I've been trying to teach myself Italian in preparation for this series, but I wasn't successful. Still, I love being able to recognize bits and pieces of the dialogue. I enjoyed this episode, and I hope we see Rebecca again in the coming episodes. |
 Vengeance of everyone's grudge. "I didn't add it to my list so I forgot I was watching that." - lpf |
| The Italian opening song is literally the only flaw this show has. It looks and feels like classic Lupin already and Rebecca seems to be a fun character. AOTS. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| It's pretty fun. They've thrown in so much action and cheesy humor it almost looked like they're trying too hard at some point, but I like the director's vision of making a dynamic and fun Lupin, like in Castle of Cagliostro. I'm probably going to wait for someone to splice the HDTV rips with Japanese audio, since it'd be a shame to watch the lower quality SD rips. There was also some de-sync with the latter so my best bet is on the official Japanese release, which shouldn't be more than a few weeks away. |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
| The opening is so cheesy, I actually think I like it. It's nearly a shame to watch it in SD, but when I saw it was out, I couldn't hold back. Pretty good first episode, Rebecca seems like a great addition to the usual Lupin cast. |
 |
| Holy shit, that was way more fun than I expected it to be. Definitely looking forward to seeing where this goes. 4.5/5. |
 |
| That was a lot of fun. Nothing as serious as a woman named fujiko, but a nice, easy throwback. I'd love it if Lupin adaptations continue to switch between tones like that. |
 |
| Finally got round to watching this episode. Classic Lupin right there which is what I love, though I'm not sure how I feel about Rebecca, she's not bad but I'm very used to the dynamic of just the main four (plus Zenigata). |
 |
| classic, i hate that Rebecca girl already even though she is sexy like Fujiko, girls like them are really a cock tease |
| I waited pretty long for this series and still managed to miss it by a few weeks. OP was okay. I don't really like how Italian sounds but maybe it'll grow on me. I'm glad that they seem to be going in the usual episodic wackiness direction with this. Not sure how I feel about Rebecca yet, but I wouldn't mind seeing her again. At least she's not another Oscar. |
| "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
| Japanese version of the OP theme song. Interesting.... |
 |
| Oh man the JP version of the OP looks gorgeous |
| nice new version of the main theme. much wow. |
 |
| Decided to wait until the Japanese dub aired and I was not disappointed Classic Lupin all around and I really liked Rebecca too so I hope she sticks around for more episodes....Fujiko was totally jelly too lol Looking forward to the rest of the season :) |
| WOO! Fun opening episode. Classic Lupin III and Rebecca grew on me quick, though I'd still like to know more about her. It also seems like this series will have an ongoing plot or at least won't be completely episodic. Even if it is more episodic than I'd like, I'll still enjoy it though. So is the plot about how Lupin wants to find and divorce Rebecca? If so, that's pretty funny. lmao The visuals were phenomenal. The lines can be a bit odd looking at times but the animation is very fluid, expressive and whacky, the backgrounds are utterly gorgeous and the character designs are just as iconic as they always were. The soundtrack is excellent too, though that's always true for Lupin III. Voice acting performances are great even if it's a bit exposition heavy at times but it doesn't bother me too much. Wasn't the most clever heist in the world but it's a solid opening episode that made use of each character in some way, can't wait for more. Also, the OP is one of the best I've seen in a while. |

| Fun and quirky with a hint of old school. Weeeeee~ And the OP is gorgeous. I'd love to watch more even if it stays completely episodic. |
 |
| Don't understand how Gangsta got hype and not many people are watching Lupin :( |
| This is the first I've seen of Lupin III. It was fun, but about average for a children's show. I wasn't wowed by it. |
| I have weakness for rooftop runs. Beautiful and different art, jazzy and groovy ost plus some entertaining af goofy action? Count me in. |
 |
| Wow, that was great. The music, OP song (Japanese version), and the characters... I like that Rebecca girl already as she is very hard to read because of her role so far and personality. Fujiko was also a nice sight to see as well. Action and comedy were fun to watch and overall, I feel like this show is really on track with the classic tone of the Lupin franchise. Loving it so far. |
|
| Takeshi Koike definitely left his mark on the Lupin franchise considering how similar to his style the art and character design is. Seems like we are in for a cool and classy fun ride. |
 |
| Oh my gosh, that was truly beautiful in 720p. I can't even remember the last time I saw a seasonal anime that looks and sounds this nice. It also delivers some nice, silly fun as well, so I'll try to continue with it until the end. Certainly it is going to be one of the better anime this season. |
 |
Yay, the gang is back. I remember watching the series when I was a kid. Well, I predicted Rebecca wasn't going to be a normal rich girl. She and Lupin make a great pair tbh.  Goemon and Fujiko are still my favorite characters. Though Fujiko can be a bitch sometimes.  |

| Can someone tell me if there's a way to watch this with English subs? Of course I'm talking about the version from Japanese broadcast. |
