60 of 125 · most liked firstPS: You really should watch this movie. It was Hayao Miyazaki’s 1979 directorial debut, requires zero Lupin III knowledge, and has some of the most thrilling set pieces and chases in anime history. Watch the US Manga Corps dub if you can; it’s got David “Solid Snake” Hayter in high register as Lupin

neutral · AI labelView post →had a dream they made a Lupin III movie that was just Roger Rabbit 2 like, it was a Lupin III heist plot but it was treating him as an animated character and a ton of completely unrelated cartoons were there. Zenigata was working with Eddie Valiant lmao anyway I need them to actually make this

The Japanese version of Moving Right Along from the dub of the Muppets movie where Kermit is voiced by Yasuo Yamada (Lupin III) is playing in the background. One of my dogs is sleeping under my bed.

neutral · AI labelView post →Lupin III: Tokyo Crisis One of the better Lupin films so far, the villain plot is super convoluted, but this is a Zenigata focused one and gives him a pretty fun sidekick character in the film, and some pops lore. Also nerfing the gang was a fun twist Looks really gorgeous too for a TV film

neutral · AI labelView post →Some friends and I wanted to watch the Lupin III vs Detective crossover, so we watched Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie ...but it turns out what we should have watched was Lupin III vs. Detective Conan. Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie is the sequel to Lupin III vs. Detective Conan.

neutral · AI labelView post →If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing it yet, Hayao Miyazaki’s directorial debut ‘Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro’ is streaming on Tubi. It’s the older dub, so the translation’s a bit wonky, but still great. This film inspired an entire generations of animators, & is worth a watch.
positive · AI labelView post →non-game example for me is Castle of Cagliostro. good movie, love it a lot. it is worst possible way to introduce someone to Lupin III
neutral · AI labelView post →Still deep inside the Lupin III "Film Zone" with the bros, and somehow we ended up watching the best Lupin thing in ages?

neutral · AI labelView post →Hell this is probably the most dumb "Sonic Situation" cause it genuinely looks fine?? I basically see it as the kid's movie equivalent of Lupin III: The First, least in terms of turning a 2D show into a 3D movie anyway.
neutral · AI labelView post →the Lupin series is so awesome because you get "LUPIN III: THE MOVIE - now with all the stuff we COULDN'T GET AWAY WITH on television!!!" and then less than a year later they careen all the way back to the opposite end of the characterization spectrum... and both are ALL TIME great anime movies!!
neutral · AI labelView post →Finally watched Lupin III: The First last night, and it is indeed the best 3DCG film I've seen from Japan so far. The animation texture, music, vocal performances: All fantastic. It is a breeze of a watch at 93 minutes too.

neutral · AI labelView post →75. Lupin III: The First (2019 movie) For the first time watching this IP, this was a very good first impression. There's a lot of iconic moments from the movie itself and the cast is super memorable and lovable. I'd say it's a good start if you wanna get into Lupin as a whole. 4.5/5
positive · AI labelView post →Found it for SPS! He's referred by full name Arsène Lupin III quite a few times in this clip! (There may or may not be more throughout the movie I can't recall, but this scene was the one I was thinking of)
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Lupin III the First today and I'm so glad I didn't know anything about it going into it because that movie is WILD.
positive · AI labelView post →Today's free youtube movie recommendation: To Catch a Thief (1955) Cary Grant and the ethereal Grace Kelly! If you've ever enjoyed The Pink Panther or Lupin III, you'll find some things here you recognize! And if not, it's still a great film. Costumes by Edith Head, of course! youtu.be/UY_vZ4QGe1I
neutral · AI labelView post →That anime-heavy Capricon movie room introduced me to Lupin III in CASTLE CAGLIOSTRO—which I will happily re-watch at any time—and MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM. Which amazed me with O'Neill's Lagrange cities, a hard-SF concept only a few years old in 1981. You'd never see a concept that fresh in a US film!
neutral · AI labelView post →LUPIN III THE FIRST (2019) I had this movie sitting around in my room for about 4 years and only now have I watched it..oy. This movie is beautifully done, animation and story wise. I'm convinced, though, that we were listening in oddly coded 7.1 because some audio felt lacking.
neutral · AI labelView post →boxd.it/iHnQI Recently finished watching every Lupin III movie
neutral · AI labelView post →The director was a frequent collaborator with Seijun Suzuki (that certainly tracks) and co-wrote “Branded to Kill” and “Lupin III: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon”, as well as the “Locke the Superman” film and some episodes of “The Adventures of Gamba”.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you didn't hear, we're gonna cover Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro for next week's episode. For real. It's Miyazaki's first film btw
neutral · AI labelView post →1/3 General update regarding my animation work: 2025 felt like a slow year because the only animation I drew that was released was my work on the Lupin III movie (which most people haven’t seen yet because it’s only been in theaters) & a few cuts I did on Star Wars Visions.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was definitely getting emotionally watching the new dub. The Epcar cast was my introduction to series, it’s how i hear the characters in my head. To think that legendary voice cast got to dub not just a classic Lupin movie, but my favorite movie OF ALL TIME, made so happy to be a Lupin III fan.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bad Guys 2 is my favorite Lupin III movie But seriously what a really really good movie
positive · AI labelView post →Today I learned: The 2014 live action Lupin III movie was produced, co-written, and screenplayed by Mataichiro Yamamoto. You may remember him as the guy who ran Urban Vision. Seems he kept himself busy after UV closed. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupin_t...
neutral · AI labelView post →So the Jigen Daisuke movie on Amazon… It’s obviously inspired by the John Wick films, but of course Jigen predates Wick by a good 50+ years. It’s not a Lupin III story, it’s Jigen’s tale, so this is a dark one. But it retains that over the top “Lupin” ridiculousness. Not perfect, but I had fun.
neutral · AI labelView post →Aw damn, yeah it's a pretty fun one. Not the best Lupin III film but a very solid one for sure. (Also the animation is really great)
positive · AI labelView post →88. Lupin III: The Mystery of Mamo (1978) this movie really did say "its all fun and games until the US military gets involved
neutral · AI labelView post →So I probably know my most watched movie. It's The castle of Cagliostro. There was a time when I watched it every day for a month. (I love Lupin III, ok? And I didn't know back then any other media existed). That is at least 30 times, probably close to 50 total. Now, will Project Hail Mary beat it?
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night I watched the third Lupin III film: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon. A definite step down in every way from Cagliostro, this felt more like a Looney Tunes short than a feature film. 2.5/5 stars. 🎬📽️🕵️♂️
negative · AI labelView post →#60: Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) directed and co-written by Hayao Miyazaki Just an absolutely charming film and an underrated entry in Miyazaki's catalogue. Perfect introduction into the world of Lupin with a warmer take on his escapades.
neutral · AI labelView post →But do they know Akira? CowBe? Macross? Madoka? Record of the Lodoss War? The Street Fighter II movie? GitS SAC? Lupin III? Lain? Devil Man? Galaxy Express 999? Fist of the North Star? Robot Carnival? Also WHICH Evangelion? That series has at least six retells by now and each one is different.
neutral · AI labelView post →Playing Persona 5 Watching Leverage with a friend Watching Lupin III Part 5 for me Oddly, the movie I want to watch is From Up On Poppy Hill.
neutral · AI labelView post →Makes me wonder how Lupin III would be perceived now if he had actually gotten to make his film. His two eps for Part 6 didn't seem to leave much of an impact, but that's a series.
neutral · AI labelView post →the film is named “Lupin III: Legend of the Gold of Babylon” (1985) and you should watch it most joyfully! i know i did. 🩷
positive · AI labelView post →2/3 Next month, for the first time in a while, new animation I drew WILL air on a VERY random series. (Very much looking forward to seeing how that episode turns out) Also, the Lupin III movie is coming out on Blu-ray soon so folks will finally be able to see that animation too.
neutral · AI labelView post →Film #66: Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro It's one of the more subdued Lupin stories but it is still a damn fine one, bolstered by how beautiful all if Miyaskai's art is. The climatic fight in the clocktower is so good! #2026Films
positive · AI labelView post →I love this movie so much y'all... mainly since I love Lupin III in general but like damn I love returning to this one a lot!
positive · AI labelView post →I love Lupin III. If you dig Cowboy Bebop, you should check out Lupin... they just have similar energies. You can start with Castle of Cagliostro, which is Hayao Miyazaki's first film. It's excellent, as you might guess.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight on Lupin III: Part 2, Lupin and Jigen fight for the TV remote, and the film Jigen wants to watch is very recognisably Django. That’s kind of neat.
