why is he like this

He has to be dramatic at least twice every movie, it's in his contract!

(Also the fact that he's literally playing his own music theme on the flute here. Also, the fact that this entire movie is just Lupin bullshitting a journalist and so he may or may not have exaggerated or even entirely fabricated Goemon's dramaticness in those scenes) (I don't know what the normal word from dramaticness is)

finished first contact and i absolutely love that you can tell where lupin gets too into it. like the random flowers during the duel for example. the blinding glow when goemon opens the box with zantetsuken that fills the whole room. im too tired to remember more examples but you get my point

Most relatable part of the movie.

Lupin III: EPISODE 0: “First Contact”

[lupincentral]

The 2021 released animated television series Lupin III: PART 6 is now available for pre-order on Blu-ray in the United Kingdom, courtesy of All The Anime!

The boxed set, which is currently on sale for the introductory price of £49.99 (£79.99 RRP) contains all twenty-four episodes, in addition to Kiyoshi Kobayashi's special send-off episode, "Episode 0 ~ The Times".

Also included in the set is a 52-page art booklet, featuring character profiles, sketch sheets, background artwork, and more. Both the English and Japanese audio versions feature, along with English language subtitles.

Clean opening and ending animations, along with seven television promos make up the special features, and all three discs some in a special digipak with a collectors slip case.

PART 6 is directed by Eiji Suganuma, and while is primarily written by both Takahiro Ōkura and Shigeru Murakoshi, it also features a variety of guest writers coming in for its one-shot episodes, including (but not limited to) Ghost in the Shell's Mamoru Oshii, and Astro Boy's Masaki Tsuji.

The set is due to release in the U.K. on the 15th of April 2024 (a little over a month away from time of writing), and the early-bird price will only be available until Thursday the 21st of March, 2024.

The Curtain Falls - A Lupin III Comic

So I started a super ambitious comic project called "The Curtain Falls", about Lupin in his 60s and dealing with the fact that nothing lasts forever. It's essentially my version of how his adventures end. It follows how each member of the gang retires, a car chase(!!!), and some really heartfelt moments; a bit similar to Part 6 Episode 0. I started writing and thumbnailing it in 2020 and I'm working on the final art now, page by page. The whole comic will be 50 pages + some extras and I'm going to be printing it when it's all done. Right now I'm posting pages as they're completed + sketches to my Patreon and Ko-fi, any support is much appreciated. It's a really time consuming comic since I'm doing lots of sprawling backgrounds and cars. I've learned and grown a lot while working on it and I'm super proud of how far I've come with it, so I wanted to gush about it a bit here.

Helloooo just wanted to say I got into Lupin iii because of you a few months ago and have enjoyed it ever since, the guy is so funny oh my lord also really love the way they animated the characters movements it just scratches an itch in the brain

aaaaah YAY!!! I'm so glad to hear that!! Lupin the Third is SO GOOD (and also so bad depending on which version you watch skdjfhshd) and I'm always happy when people discover this weird little franchise! I'm so happy you're enjoying it!

Also yeah man, the animation is that special early 80s late 70s jank which is so good. Where you can tell the animators were very good at their job, they just had 0 budget and 5 minutes to make each episode!

It's a feature, not a bug...

I already knew it was actually Lupin telling the 'story' of how everyone first met in First Contact, not Jigen, but I think the first hint is likely how Lupin acted so calm around Fujiko in their first meeting.

You know that is just a load of bullshit coming from him, considering how Part 2 Lupin acts around Fujiko even after years of knowing each other. He would be a mess in their actual first meeting.
