They’re a good place to start! The Koike films are standalone, and so is Cagliostro (though it comes with the history of Miyazaki having directed part 1 of the animated series, you don’t have to watch any of it for context, it makes sense on its own)

Definitely! Hit me up if you want recs for specials or where to start in the series. It’s a lot, but a lot of it isn’t connected so you don’t have to watch in order.

Hell yeah! Definitely.
Cagliostro is like tonally the opposite of the Koike films so it’s a fun contrast. The IIIrd films are some of the darkest Lupin (still campy and fun, but definitely more adult). Cagliostro is almost family friendly lol.

In order:
- Jigen’s Gravestone
- Goemon’s Bloodspray
- Fujiko’s Lie
- Zenigata and the Two Lupins

Immortal Bloodline the is culmination of the story they’ve been seeding through those.
They’re like 45 minutes so not too much to watch.
At the very least, watch 2 Lupins! It is a direct prequel.

Have you seen the rest of the Lupin the IIIrd/Koikeverse films? You’ll want that context going in, probably

Eeee thank you. <3 Glad my howling keeps you company on the walk home.

Yoooo this is so fucking cool! What a great use of old fabric! Painting at an angle to give it the lighting effect is also a genius move.

We wrap ourselves in defenses, protecting ourselves from the world, but offer those who earn it a vulnerable peek at the softness underneath.
