The pros and cons of Lupin the Third without all the boobs are being hotly debated by fans thanks to its first (nearly) breast-free episode, with some of the opinion that they are a mere distraction, and others of the opinion that they really would rather have nipples in every other scene after all.
Taking out the "old" part, that's the same thing the Anime Nostalgia Fags say about current Anime, but I personally love both new AND old Anime. I think this looks quite ugly as well.
loving old and new anime, let's you have a clear perspective to judge a shows quality.
I don't hate the new show, i like it's style, issue 1 was so extravagant that
i loved it, but this last seem to be getting somewhat slow. this last episode i felt Fujiko was rather out of character. i even thought maybe she wasn't her, and that she would appear later on.
I've been thinking that since the beginning of this series. In the old series she at least came across as a woman smart enough to swindle people out of their property without having to jump into bed, but in this one the screens make it seem like that's all she knows how to do. Thanks to that, I have near no interest in watching this, since it's probably just going to waste my time and piss me off.
Why would you not watch to confirm whether that is true? You are intentional misleading yourself even more than the intentional sensationalism of the articles.
Planning on it once the series finishes airing. I was without internet for a little over a year, so I'm going to spend this season catching up on last two seasons before this... if I can manage enough free time, I should be finishing it all up just as this season is wrapping up. "Near no interest" doesn't mean I'm not going to check it out, it just means I'm going to go into it expecting the worst. Being a fan of the old series is keeping me from having absolutely no interest in it and is going to make me check it out to be sure.
Hmm... few hours and my reply still isn't showing...
I am going to confirm for myself, once the series is finished airing. Never said I wasn't going to watch it, I only said that my interest in it is nearly none, which is because of how Fujiko seems to have been changed. I'm actually not watching anything this season yet =/ that's only because of my backlog of shows though (I didn't have internet for a little over a year).
There's been plenty of shows that I thought I wouldn't like and still watched just to make sure and ended up liking them. I'm not stupid enough to just write things off without actually checking. The problem with this show is slightly different though because my love for the old version is likely going to cause me to be overly critical about certain things. Though really, if Fujiko turns out to be the way I'm fearing, then even if I wasn't a fan of the old, I still wouldn't like it. =/
I'm a Red Jacket Lupin fan, also I much prefer the Geneon/Pioneer dub cast, don't mind if Goemon's dub VA was replaced but if everyone for Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko & Zenigata were to work on this I would watch even without the bare tits, can't beat Epcar, Ruff and the other two (can't remember names). Or they have Lupin join with the other guys and anagonize Fuji like usual, that might help and hopefully will happen in future eps.
I would've rather had one about Lupin & his crew or Zenigata than just Fujiko encountering them as I always found her to be one-dimensional compared to the rest of the cast with her only major trait being a femme fatale that seduces and double-crosses people.
I hadn't considered the similarity until you worded it like that, but Nami is a lot like Fujiko it seems. I don't know if Nami followed Fujiko's development similarly. I don't exactly know the dynamic with Lupin because I never watched the original, but it strikes me that there are some similarities to One Piece, so I wonder if there was some inspiration.
But every character from every lupin anime ever made is one-dimensional. (I watched a lot, starting in the 70s) Fujiko having boobs is what makes her better than the rest.
i am not a horny asshole, well maybe i am , but this episode was boring.
it was too slow, and most of the time Fujiko was rather slow, the relationship, i remember she had in the 70's show, with Goemon was more dynamic, and he was more brutal i would say.
I have to say compared to the other Lupin anime I have watched this one is below average in terms of animation values, I mean what is up with all the hatching lines? This is strongly reminicant of watching FMA Star of Milos or the poorly drawn episode 3 of Gurren Lagann. Seriously are the anime studios just plain lazy or something these days!?!
You're not understanding the flow of the story. In the original Lupin the 3rd, all of them were together sometimes. This story is centered around Fujiko in how she met each teammate in each episode. People need to chill the **ck out, seriously. I'm pretty sure they will do a episode with all of them together, because it never explained how they came together in the movies, ovas or the tv series. This Lupin the 3rd was meant for people that is 30 and up, no one younger than this because all the young people complain too damn much to give a shit.
yay
boobs = attention
'nough said.
Lupin the Turd
lol
That "anime" looks REALLY OLD AND UGLY AND BAD
Like your mom.
lol
moeblob lover.
I don't know about that guy, but I've always found Fujiko to be quite Moe, personally speaking.
She started the whole Moe thing in fact.

It's suppose to look old. Lupin originated in the 70's ffs.
double posting on sankaku? what's goin on?
thanks for proven my point...no boobs no watch
Fujiko is a slut in this one and how does she end up naked so much.
BORING!!

You mean there's a chance in this one she isn't a bitch, but a fanservicemaschine? Damn, maybe I should give this sucking franchise one last chance.
Butthurt much? Chill.
Not butthurt and I am calm. I'll only be butthurt when I watch it and my fears are proven true.
"UMAD?" would've worked better.
hah, i was right! it's exactly like 009-1
Is it really that dark? I have a hard time recognizing things.
Then you need to watch the older series, ovas and movies so you can tell the difference.
I always found Lupin boring
Where are the breastesses!!!
i never bothered with this anime because it looks nothing like the one i remember as a kid.. ffs lupin doesnt even look the same..
You must be a fan of "Red Jacket Lupin" this ain't that boring. It's just isn't the run of the mill Shonen that people are use too.
I'm a Red Jacket Lupin fan, also I much prefer the Geneon/Pioneer dub cast, don't mind if Goemon's dub VA was replaced but if everyone for Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko & Zenigata were to work on this I would watch even without the bare tits, can't beat Epcar, Ruff and the other two (can't remember names).

Who's Red Jacket Lupin?
the Red jacket Lupin, there was a change of colors to his clothing over the years.
I would've rather had one about Lupin & his crew or Zenigata than just Fujiko encountering them as I always found her to be one-dimensional compared to the rest of the cast with her only major trait being a femme fatale that seduces and double-crosses people.

I don't exactly know the dynamic with Lupin because I never watched the original, but it strikes me that there are some similarities to One Piece, so I wonder if there was some inspiration.
Even the breasts are present.
But every character from every lupin anime ever made is one-dimensional. (I watched a lot, starting in the 70s) Fujiko having boobs is what makes her better than the rest.
If it wasn't for the character Fujiko, we wouldn't of have Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop and many others like her. Fujiko was the original.
Poopin' the Turd.
man, people that say this is boring are just horny ass-holes
I agree.
i am not a horny asshole, well maybe i am , but this episode was boring.
it was too slow, and most of the time Fujiko was rather slow, the relationship, i remember she had in the 70's show, with Goemon was more dynamic, and he was more brutal i would say.
I would personally still watch the any without the nude breasts, its a crazy show, and last episode was awesome.

Hatching and cross-hatchiing is extra work not less.
Anonymous, you don't understand shit about Japanese Animation. So STFU.
is it just me are is Lupin absent from all these Lupin the III screen shots? what's up with that?

Uhh Lupin III Episode 0: First Contact ?
From someone new to the series, it was kind of boring to begin with.
Yes you are a boring person. With no open mind to begin with. And you will be considered a newbie for the rest of your life.
i know the series from the 70's and i am now newbie, but i too found episode 3 boring.
