#lupin iii: the first

[gaillol-13]

Watched Lupin iii: The First and..*sheepish giggle* well you can guess the rest.

Srsly tho Lupin needs a cure for his resting Rizz face or I'm gonna die.

In Lupin III: The First, Lupin said that he would see Laetitia again in 5 years. That movie came out in 2019... so I better be seeing a Lupin III: The Second coming out in 2024.

Finally took time and watched Lupin III: The First after owning it for like, 2 years.

I really enjoyed what they did with this movie. They managed to make something that could reach already existing fans of the franchise while also creating a good introduction to these characters for people discovering this series for the first time.

So some background, my first introduction to Lupin was through Part II on Adult Swim and it didn't really make me interested. I don't know if it was a "wrong place, wrong time" sort of thing but I just wasn't won over. However, funny enough, outside of the show there was still just something about the style of the characters that spoke to me. I wasn't fucking with the show and yet here I was looking for figures of the characters online so there was something sparked there. Part IV is what completely hooked me in the end and if this film was my first exposure to the "Lupiniverse" it would have gotten me too. You especially don't turn the car around after that laser scene.

One of the things about Lupin when you're already into it, however, is you can strongly feel the history of the characters and you feel it in this movie.

The main thing I have to gush about of course though is the animation. The style and animation was stunning as all hell. It was already impressive seeing it on those posters and in trailers but when actually watching the film it stands out even more. Ultimately it was better than doing a live action adaptation. It's a combination of the little details live action could bring while also never losing every animated movement and charm of the series making it the best of both worlds.

lupin iii: the first looks better than any american produced 3d animated film bc its actually animated and not just mo-capped to hell and back (in fact not at all) or striving to look realistic (and in doing so, looks realistic and organic to the world it has created).

godzilla in godzilla minus one is so effective and look so good despite the budget/limitations because the director is actually someone involved with, and good at, directing animation (the same director for the film mentioned above) , who understands how to make that look good

putting aside the (valuable and not untrue) critiques of the film industry, especially in japan, its almost like things will be good if you actually put the right people on the job who understand what the fuck theyre doing and what theyre working with

Now everyone...for my new era. I will be posting the comics and OCs for just for you and art trades are now open! And I'll do Q&A. See you there!

Can't believe they made a movie about a guy's massive fuckin crush on that batshit insane German guy who died 1945.

I can't believe I rewatched The First only to see in which wrist Lupin keeps his weird spy watch thing. Turns out the answer is both wrists. Yeah it changes place. Constantly. Between scenes, too, to the point where it doesn't even make sense. Why is it so imperative you wear it on your left wrist during the first day you met Laetitia, then switch to the right wrist while sneaking around the boat, and THEN how the hell did you switch it after you got the diary? You're not even ambidextruous, you're a cosmic horror

Now testing "laser dance song" with this scene from Lupin III: The First. It fits!! :D

Jigen in CGI is really hot! And how you finally get to see his eyes sometimes is so awesome. Because their are always hidden. :)

I love the animation style! They are the one that did all of the Sonic movies. I hope the production company will thrive and make more!

Lupin III: The First is a 2019 Japanese 3D CGI-animated comedy action-adventure heist film based on the Lupin the Third franchise created by Monkey Punch. Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, it was animated by Marza Animation Planet and TMS Entertainment, and is the first 3DCG installment in the franchise. The film stars Kanichi Kurita as Lupin III, Kiyoshi Kobayashi as gunman Daisuke Jigen, Daisuke Namikawa as samurai Goemon Ishikawa XIII, Miyuki Sawashiro as Fujiko Mine, and Kōichi Yamadera as Interpol detective Zenigata.

"If you don't wanna die, Prof, then hang the hell on!"

always thought PL and L3 would make for a magnificent crossover. so I doodled it out! If you're wondering what's happening, they just took a wild leap of faith and are hoping desperately that Lupin's grappling hook works. Or rather, Lupin shoved Layton and jumped after to catch him. Layton is an unwilling accomplice in all this, he'd rather not be dragged around by an utter madman whose plans are dangerous, incomprehensible and, quite frankly, daft.

You go to the cinema, to watch Lupin III: The Second. You buy yourself the ticket and some popcorn, and then, when the time comes, you enter your room expecting to have a jolly time. You sit through the ads with great impatience. You don't give a fuck about the newest movie Scramble Dangle stars on. The Second starts. As you gaze upon the screen, your eyes squint and you frown: Lupin's chin scruff has become scruffier, and now there is a pseudo-moustache forming. It is irrelevant to the plot, but you go home thinking about it.

Three years later, you repeat the process. Again you notice the same phoenomenon. Then another three years, then another three, until you realize that no one in the cast has made the slighest remark about the stereotypical 17th century French moustache the CGI model now wears at all times.
