Is this what it means to feel love?

For some reason, the only subs I could find came with a video that looked like this in MPC and VLC

>[sage]_Lupin_III_-_Mine_Fujiko_to_Iu_Onna_-_01_[720p][10bit][53E61CD8]

Guessing it's because of that [10bit] part?

>>73451
Yeah, just update the hell out of CCCP and VLC and you should be good to go.

If not, just get the zero-raw and find an .ass for it

Huh, guess there was enough interest to merit a thread.

But yeah, this was amazing. Koike's designs suits this series perfectly.

>>73452
It's not hard find an .ass for this show, it has them all over the place.

i havent had a chance to watch w/ subs yet, but im not sure darker and edgier is the direction i wanted rupahn to go.
i will begrudgingly accept it...FOR NOW

>>73453
>Koike's designs suits this series perfectly.
YEAH actually i love the art style and the animation. good kickback to the manga series.

I kind of like it, but I'm holding off judgment until I get more Zenigata.

This is my first time watching Lupin, if you don't include Castle of Cagliostro, and I'm enjoying it so far.

this was glorious and I should probably post in the right threads from now on

I have no problem with darker edgier Lupin. The old series basically ganked a lot of stylish old movies. If this is what it's like when they're given free reign to gank French Expressionist work, then I am down.

>>73472
OH GOD!

OH DEAR GOD NO!

SOMEONE TAUGHT THE JAPANESE HOW BREASTS WORK!

THAT WAS THE LAST HURDLE, WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO STOP THEM!

EVERYONE PANIC!!!

Technically this isn't a new direction but rather a return to form. Stuff like the original manga, Mystery of Mamo, and Island of Assassins were all a bit on the dark side. Of course the original manga was so dark in spots it was kind of tacky, to the point where if I remember right, Monkey Punch has disavowed a lot of it in the same way as the Tintin guy disavows the Congo storyline and Land of the Soviets.

This just looks dandy though.

>>73476

> Mystery of Mamo, and Island of Assassins
but these were the worst movies
although i finally watched it with subs and it was a riproaring good time so lets hope it keeps up

Hey guys, new Lupin thread? SWEET. Let's see what we have here...interesting designs, looks from the gifs that it goes between grimdark and goofy, good, good...
>>73459
>Pops looking stylish as fuck
Zenigata HNNNG
MUST FIND SOMEWHERE TO WATCH THIS, STAT

>>73482
i like the cut of your jib
nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=302000

Fuck yes, this is amazing. I love EVERYTHING in this, style/art/design wise.

>>73483
Thanks for the link.

So... is Oscar a new character? I honestly didn't watch much of Lupin before this; just Castle of Cagliostro (which really doesn't count at all) and whatever aired on Cartoon Network long ago.
>dat blush

>>73480
>Mystery of Mamo is bad
I WELL FIGHT YOU BEA. STEEL CAGE MATCH.

Normally I don't like fanservice in anime.

BUT DAT FUJIKO

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNFFFFFFFFFFFF

I have to say, the ED was the least inspired thing I have seen like... ever.

>>73493
>Zenigata's voice
Not gonna lie; had a "I'll be in my bunk" moment
>Oscar
So...upon seeing this character, all I wanna do is just draw filthy, FILTHY porn of him, with or without Pops. Is that wrong?

Oh god, that art direction... Anyone have a .gif of Lupin doing that thing with the lighter?

The subs were pretty good, but why did the cult leader keep calling them "motionless" as an insult? Is it some sort of idiom or pun?

Interesting!
Hey I've been wanting to see the old series but there are apparently two of them with a LOT of episodes and can never find a way to watch them.

Does anyone have a link to see/download them or some recomendations to which series/movies/episodes are better and the most worthy to check out?

>>73524
Lupin III: First Contact is generally a good place to start with Lupin. It's an origin story movie (one of many of the origin stories - canon is flexible in the Lupin-verse). It's slow-ish and a bit lackluster, but it's a quick and easy way to get the feel of the characters and there are some good parts.

I don't know how to feel about the shadows and colors in this one.

I watched it earier today and I'm totally on board. There was nothing about this that I didn't like. The look is fantastic, everything just feels so fucking cool, and dem titahs are pretty nice. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.

The more manga-style character designs look amazing.

>dat Jigen

We have simulcast

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2012-04-07/funimation-entertainment-announces-new-acquisitions-at-anime-boston

So how likely is it adultswim will pick this show up? They used to (still do?) show episodes of an old Lupin III, which is probably a good indicator that they'll get the rights to this one. Plus, this show is probably the most well suited anime for America that has come out in years. I actually think it would do pretty well.

They might have to censor the titties though, which would be a shame. But hey, if they advertise that the DVD shows uncensored Fujiko I bet that'll make quite a few people more likely to buy it.

>>73604

The titties are the real deal-breaker here. IIRC you can't show bear breasts on American television AT ALL.

>IIRC you can't show bear breasts on American television AT ALL.

>>73608

I think cabal channels like HBO and such can but no way a public channel like CN could. Even if it was played at midnight or something.

It's network TV which has to face FCC indecency and obscenity guidelines.

Cable TV networks are legally free to show nudity and have uncensored profanity, the majority of them just do not because their sponsors will drop their ads and non-governmental censorship groups complain. They self-censored, and even decide on the parental guidelines for their own shows.

Channels like HBO are based around profit entirely from subscription fees with no advertisement. No sponsors to please means they allow anything they think is good television.

>>73615
CN isn't public, it's just basic cable instead of premium cable. Only very basic networks like NBC, Fox, and local channels are public.

And even though they air on the same channel, Adult Swim and CN are effectively different channels, though owned by the same parent company.

The tits are a problem but I'd say the potential profit outweighs the effort it would take to censor them. Though I guess that depends on how often boobs are shown in the rest of the show. This first one was Fujiko centric so I'm guessing tits were on screen for more time than they would normally be, but we'll have to see more episodes to know for sure.

>>73606
>>73608
sounds like a challenge to me

>>73622
The series is Fujiko-centric, dude. All of it. That's why it's called "The Woman called Fujiko Mine."

So Oscar is definitely rocking the Rose of Versaille aesthetic. If I hadn't heard his manly voice, I would have suspected him to be at one point revealed as a crossdressing lady.

>>73631
I thought that was just the name of the first episode. I didn't know it was a subtitle to the show.

That would make tits likely harder to censor, but it isn't impossible.

Small dump (7 pics) of screencaps from the first episode, Zenigata & Oscar centric.

First, Zenigata explaining the plan.

Next, Zenigata grinning at Oscar

Oscar as Zenigata explains his brilliance

Oscar's reaction to Zenigata's grin -BLUSHING-

Later, when Lupin makes an appearance, we finally get a full view of the dear Inspector's face

Shit hits the fan, people rushing around, and Oscar is giving orders

And finally, Lupin is getting away, and Zenigata has a smoke. I tried getting a pic of the few seconds that Pops is stepping on his cigarette, but they were crap. He's got tiny cuffs on his high-water pants, and you can see his slightly raggedy looking shoes in all their glory.

Gotta say, not a very big fan of this proposed new direction

>>73723

>>73723
It took me a minute, but goddammit I laughed.

So, new episode.

I didn't like 2 as much as 1 but Jigen was badass, and that's what really matters.

>>73746
I thought it was a great episode up until the reveal that she really did care for Jigen. What kind of horrible person gets five men killed just to essentially suicide?

I was getting some seriously strong Cowboy Bebop vibes from this one. Although, in retrospect, it's probably more accurate to say both have strong similarities.

Welp.
Another one to the watch list.
DAT FIRST EPISODE
Is been a long time Inspector Zuñiga, I mean, Zenigata.

>>73606
>>73608
Well, Game of Thrones and Spartacus don't have any problem with tits.

>>73746

Not as good, but still good. Felt too rushed to leave any real emotional impact. And the incredibly dissonant whistling soundtrack in the last scene annoyed me.

But damn Jigen was cool.

So next episodes probably gonna be about Goemon.

Wonder how that'll pan out.

>>73760
Might be, might not. Goemon being late to the party is kind of his thing.

I don't remember the context of this picture.

>>73762
Bad Horse got caught up with?

Lupin wasn't in this episode. I feel let down.

Oh well, it was still entertaining I guess.

>And the incredibly dissonant whistling soundtrack in the last scene annoyed me.

Seriously, what the fuck were they trying to do with that?

>>73761
The title of the next episode is "The Lady and the Samurai", so I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.

>>73762
It's from Seven Days Rhapsody. Lupin was explaining the next heist to Jigen using hand puppets.

what the fuck was this trainwreck episode

dont tread on me you silly boys

>>73606
>IIRC you can't show bear breasts on American television AT ALL.
Legally speaking, short of hardcore porn you can actually show pretty much whatever the hell you want on cable. The only real regulation of content on those terms is whether or not you can sell advertising considering the content you're running, and most advertisers a broadcaster would want to be associated with in the US are prudish enough to be scared of stuff with nudity or explicitly sexual content. The FCC has no control over cable--only broadcast.

>>73769
Alright, I make a huge exception in realistic anatomy for Lupin, because, DAT STYLE. But the way her ass is positioned makes no damn sense to me. Her torso can't possibly be that long or bend that far.

>>73768
Something you'd see in the manga.

>>73773
Speaking of style, it's so nice to see the minor character's designs sync up to the main ones again. In the recent specials, the main characters all retained their Monkey Punch aesthetic while everyone else was designed more realistically. Now we've got the exaggerated proportions across the board.

>>73762
>>73763
I lol'd.
>golfclap.gif

>this town used to be owned by the Italian family

Well there's an Abbot and Costello bit waiting to happen.

>>73768

trainwreck? I liked this episode.

I think she's talking QUALITY.
Men in Lupin have large hands, yes, but those are just crazy.

Third episode is out. Goemon was indeed the subject of this one, and it was unexpectedly hilarious at the end. Must find time to screencap this weekend!

downloading it now. it looks really cute???

that was moe as hell

This episode was leaps and bounds better than the last. I grinned like an idiot the whole way through.

>dat swordsmanship
>dat social awkwardness
>dat pantlessness (x2)
DAT GOEMON

I'm calling it now, the next episode will be she meets Zenigata. She's already met the trio of crooks; now she needs to actually meet the lawman (since she never had contact with him in the first episode).

This was so much better than episode two. Dark is fine, but darkly entertaining is better. Poor baby, Fujiko's too much for him.

And with that, Fujiko's nipples have made contact with all three other protagonists. Job well done.

I have no taste. I didn't really enjoy this episode. Although it is interesting to see what a dork Goemon is.

Did... did Fujiko seriously pretend to be Fraulein Maria?

>>73982

Zenigata next episode then what?

Do we actually have Lupin meet Jigen?

>>73995
No clue (though that would be kinda neat), but from the progression of who Fujiko meets, I'm gonna guess Lupin will be making a reappearance soon. That's probably how she'll meet Pops; he's on Lupin's trail and doesn't recognize her in disguise as a famous thief, so she uses it to her advantage to waylay Lupin long enough with Pops so she gets -insert treasure Lupin wants - first, thereby upping the ante on their thieving duel.

Or the next couple episodes could just be her traveling the world and stealing shit like a total boss. But I'd like for her to meet Zenigata (and play him like she did Goemon) before those episodes.

>>73768
I don't care about his big meaty claws so much as his fucking ROLLING PIN OF A CHIN. JESUS CHRIST, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? IS IT ALL BONE OR IS THERE SOME SORT OF CARTILAGE TO MARROW RATIO?

WERE THEY TRYING TO STYLISTICALLY RENDER A HABSBURG JAW ON THIS GUY? Because that would actually spiffy even though it still is really weird in execution.

can i drop fanart here or is that frowned upon
how do thread

>>74007
If you're going to be a silly old bear and post NSFW stuff you can get your fat hump right back to hibernation.

>>74007

There's no rule against it, so I'm guessing its alright.

>>74007
I think the unwritten rule is that as long as it is SFW it's okay. I know when Persona 4 got its anime adaption, both myself and others did a SFW fanart dump in-thread and nobody frowned upon it.

And so the adventures of Fujiko's tits to burst out into every single episode continues, will they ever truly succeed and escape her body all together? stay tuned.

i drew this
it was split into two in a photoset on tumblr
i have more fan artz not by me coming up

i like when fan artists draw more cartoony. it works well for this series

ahh what a cute style

this is by mrs-nessbit.tumblr.com

this one too

has this show dripped in quality for anyone else? I mean i know we're only 1/4th in, but it seems that they've been repeating.

I'll reserve judgment til the 4 hook up and mess shit up. also zenigata.

>>74082
Well, there's more repetition at the moment because they're all basically introduction episodes - the formula for the last three was basically is castmember is introduced, Fujiko rubs herself against them, cool fight happens, they share a few words then part. Presumably when they're all introduced we'll see a change-up.

>>74101

Keep in mind Lupin the Third is an inherently formulaic series.

The whole plot is about a group of 3 silly thieves as they go about stealing shit and getting into wacky escapades. There really isn't an overarching storyline or character arc set in stone for the franchise.

In fact it's inherently suppose to have a weird and wonky canon where origins and explanations for things can change. And not even in the comic book way, more in the "One episode will mention a particular skill or material or item a character has that he cannot live without/do something incredible with but will conveniently forget he even has said item/how valuable it is to him in another episode".

wasnt really "feeling" the characterization in this episode, except for lupin

For the record, I totally called it that Fujiko was going to meet Pops.

However, I didn't ever imagine that she was going to start the episode by banging him. Holy shit was I not expecting that. I would give so much money to see Lupin's reaction to finding out Pops banged Fujiko before he could.
