| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So it's Jigen's turn to meet Fujiko. This series is turning very Cowboy Bebop-like... |
| Jigen is so badass, with his Magnum .357 and even the sound was kinda right, deep and really giving the feel of it's weight. I also liked how Fujiko kept changing her hair color, it suits her bubbly personality xD. |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
| More like Cowboy Bebop was very Lupin-like, but yeah I get ya Anyways, lol poor Jigen It never fucking works out for the guy His skill with the gun is relative to his unluckiness in women. |
| Ah, the classic story of cuckoldry, they never get old, don't they? *glances at F/Z* Anyway, this show just oozes style. The music was excellent, too. |
 |
| Lupin had always so much style, I love it and the music is great. |
| good episode, Fujiko's tits are amazing XD |
| As deep and complex as it gets, including a look into Jigen's past and personal motivations. Another great episode. |

 |
| This episode was amazing. I still cant get over how great this animation is. |
 |
| Another major Lupin series character, and his meeting with Mine Fujiko. Great just like last week, more refined and classy though. Thi artsyle, screenplay and music gives an astounding experience you don't get normally watching anime. Followed by that, sexiness factors. Anime of the season i say. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Okay, so Jigen is another old Lupin III character? I really need to watch the originals now. When he opens the cylinder of her S&W and finds it empty...what a moment. |
| I love the music in the anime it reminds me of cowboy beebop. I need to watch the other series |
 |
| Jigen wins. Now, Goemon next episode, then they all get together? Or perhaps we'll get a Zenigata episode as well first? |
| I'm thrilled that a series like this was given a green-light; a 'mature/adult' anime title that doesn't treat me like an idiot. The visuals are sumptuous and the score is great. I'm really looking forward to putting this one my shelf. On an another note, I was pleasantly surprised to see Ichiko Hashimoto delivering the OP voice-over. Ever since I became a fan of her work from 'RahXephon', I was disappointed not see her name pop up on any anime or live-action titles in the past TEN YEARS. Good of Shinichiro Watanabe and Naruyoshi Kikuchi to bring her on-board, even in a small capacity. |
| Great one-episode round story. No need to add more, If you can put a good story with an ending in less than 30 mins, you sir, are a great storyteller. This Lupin spi-off is rocking. |
| I just know I'll be watching the original when this one ends. It's too good! And yeah, it does feel similar to Cowboy Bebop right now. In a good way, tho. |
| Although I would've loved to have seen Lupin in this episode as well, because I absolutely loved him in episode 1, Jigen was just as awesome. The atmosphere was great and the music absolutely amazing. I especially liked the end when Jigen shot into the air, man that was great. This undoubtly will turn into my season favorite, it's just this great. The second episode managed to reach the same level of awesomeness the first one had. I already see myself doing a marathon through everything with "Lupin" in it's title. ;3 |
| This episode felt VERY Cowboy Bebop-like (say episode 10 for example Ganymede Elegy if I remember correctly), with Koike animation. Awesome. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I really wasn't expecting it to be this good, ( I have to be honest, I downloaded ep. 1 because of Fujiko's tits. LOL, but the story, artwork and the music got me hooked) episode 2 was just as awesome as the first one. heck, maybe even better. Jigen's story is so tragic. |

| In 20 minutes we were given classic film noir in a masterful treatment. I started off with a nine for the series but if it keeps up this level, it will be a ten next episode. I'm going to have to check out the original Lupin III just to see if the episodes are at the same level. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Definitely has that nice classic feel to it. Jigen is still pretty bad ass. |
| Oh man, just two episodes in and I'm already loving it. Just the noir style presentation and the way they introduced Jigen is well done. I can't wait for (possibly) Goemon in the next episode! |
 |
| this has the cheesiest and most forced dialogue i've seen in an anime for quite a while. series is trying too hard to have a classical film noir plot-line/tone. it's incredibly forced and predictable. not to mention uninspired. though not too disappointed with the series so far, it's pretty much what i thought it was going to be. mind as well stick to it since this looks to be one of the only bearable shows this season. and at least the art style is nice. i like the rough charcoal lines in the animation. |
| I just loved how they altered the monochrome shading of the opening sequence. What a beautiful, original touch. If they do that for every episode, I just... Hopefully Goemon's turn next. That, is something that's going to torture me throughout the week. |
 |
| Another brilliant episode still cant get enough of the grittiness and how the anime seems to be pulling no punches in pretty much every department. Our sexy little femme fatale is proving to be a very strong lead. Being someone who is at the start of the second series & has no idea how the 3 guys joined up with each other, i appreciate the insight this series is giving in that respect. As for it being film noir, that is exactly the point and i'm thrilled that it is. Even seeing some of the more cliché tropes of the genre being used in this episode didn't bother me at all. Considering how much of a rarity it is in Anime we have Cowboy bebop, Big O, Detective story (Animatrix), Darker than Black and DRRR!! which utilise that theme to various degrees. |
 |
| This anime is pretty Westerner. And I like it! And I'm new to the Lupin franchise too. The OP sucks balls though. Not that it really matters. |
| A true gunslinger. |
 |
| I'm expecting the next episode to center on Goemon. |
 |
| ive never watched a lupin series before this one, dont know if they are all like this one.....but wth have i been doing with my life till now... |
| Jigen's past and encounter with Mine has been handled really well. |

| Really enjoyed this - great to see the intro of Jigen. Genix said: This anime is pretty Westerner. And I like it! And I'm new to the Lupin franchise too. The OP sucks balls though. Not that it really matters. I quite like the OP, it's different (it's rare I find a OP song decent, so I'm fine with this). |
 |
| stone cold classic - right up there with the original - some of the most beautiful animation i've ever beheld - i'm falling in love with mine fujiko... |
 |
Genix said: totally have to disagree - the opening is genius, truly breathtaking visually, musically, and especially vocally...This anime is pretty Westerner. And I like it! And I'm new to the Lupin franchise too. The OP sucks balls though. Not that it really matters. |

Jacut said: that's like saying the chicken came from the egg - cowboy bebop is very much influenced by lupin iii (although i will say cowboy bebop is genius in it's own right)...This episode felt VERY Cowboy Bebop-like (say episode 10 for example Ganymede Elegy if I remember correctly), with Koike animation. Awesome. |
|
| The OP is fantastic. I'll admit that I didn't like it as much at first, but this time I read the lyrics and I think it does a great job of describing Mine Fujiko as a character. The episode itself was solid again. I think I slightly prefer the first episode, though. Can't wait for the next episode. Definitely going to be following this. |

| I'm not big fan of Lupin. The episode is not bad. But the old version was more interesting. I still watch this because I love the atmosphere and the art style. I hope that It will be better & fascinatingly. |
 |
| THIS episode! Wow. what a masterpiece this series is! And I LOVE the OP.... <3 |
  |
| It just seems like I'm one of those few people who just can't enjoy Lupin as much as everyone else. Shame. |
| Jigen is the coolest gunner ever. I hope Goemon is next on the list of characters to come across. |
Fuzzx said: This episode was amazing. I still cant get over how great this animation is. Agreed. It has that dark and 70s feel to it. I like that change over the bright color of many of today's anime series. Sakamichi no Apollon has a similar dark style to. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| That bodyguard has some iron balls. |
 |
| Another pretty damn fine episode! transgojobot said: I'm thrilled that a series like this was given a green-light; a 'mature/adult' anime title that doesn't treat me like an idiot. The visuals are sumptuous and the score is great. I'm really looking forward to putting this one my shelf. Word. |
 |
| Great, very noir episode. It was a bit predictable, but the execution was great, the art as stylish as ever and Fujiko is a walking hard-on causing machine. Miyuki Sawashiro makes her voice sound really different for her. |

| This is the third Lupin title I'm watching (after the first series and Castle of Cagliostro) and Jigen has always been my favorite character in the franchise. His introduction did not disappoint. |

Jigen's always been a favorite of mine from the franchise so I really got absorbed in this one, |
