hey guys do you like Lupin III
i like Lupin III
Lupin is actually one of the big holes in my mission to consume all of popular culture. Is there anything specific you'd recommend other than the ghibli film?
I looooove Lupin. My favorite is Lupin III Part 2 (the red jacket series), especially dubbed with Tony Oliver as Lupin and Richard Epcar as Jigen. Out of the movies, other than Cagliostro, I really like Secret of Mamo (only movie afaik that's dubbed with the same cast as the second series a.k.a red jacket series), Burn Zantetsuken and Fuma Conspiracy. There's other good ones.
Oh, yeah, and of course the original (green jacket) series is also good. I've never gotten around to the third (pink jacket) series myself. Another thing maybe worth mentioning, there's hardly any recurring antagonists. Mr X comes back in the first episode of the red jacket series and Pycal comes back in a (somewhat recent) movie. Both were in the first series. It mostly doesn't matter what order you watch any of this stuff. Though the original series has Goemon before becoming part of the crew.
Seriously, though, Tony Oliver practically is Lupin to me. But the Japanese guy grew on me, too. I guess he was replaced in the new show, though. I really only want to hear one of the two. No Sonny Strait or whatever.
