HEY Y'ALL GUESS WHAT JUST DROPPED

Details of the trailer and some thoughts under the cut! Please please reblog with your own comments I wanna hear about y'all's thoughts!!

-YATA MY SON I'm so glad he's back, characters like him rarely get more than one season, but Zenigata deserves a sidekick

-Lupin and Zeni running together! :D

-The mask is apparently not a Hitler mask which I'm relieved about (okay it could be a different one, but they seem to be using the same scenes that were used in the teaser, so not Hitler)

-His fuckin' sunglasses XD

-(I actually paused the video to check the exact brand/model of Jigen's bullets, they're indeed .357 Magnum bullets, nothing to report here)

-There's a guy with a bomb strapped to his chest. Please. For the love of the gods. Tell me this isn't Moriarty's doing. Or I will burst a blood vessel. THAT'S A COMPLETE RIP OFF FROM BBC SHERLOCK WTF

-Jigen looking menacingly from under his hat >:)

-The mask could still be Hitler actually (black mustache)

-...eyes? The same ones that were in the screenshots released last week. They look like Nyx.

-The Fiat is completely wrecked but we already knew that

-Jigen scrambling to get inside XD

-Eyes Guy has a weird mask and is fighting Lupin? So that means he's NOT Lupin himself and I am extremely relieved about that (I considered that possibility because of the red poster). Considering that Yata and possibly Albert (see below) are back, it's not impossible that it is indeed Nyx. Or it could be Moriarty. Or Nyx is Moriarty. Either way that dude smells like an antagonist.

-I AM ALMOST CERTAIN THAT GUY AT 0:47 WAS ALBERT

-YATA AGAIN!!!! So he's not just gonna be in one cameo/flashback from part 5, he's actually there, IM SO HAPPY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND (also he has a rose in his hair and he's frickin' adorable and oh no do I have a crush on him or do I just want to adopt him?????? i don't know)

-Fujiko and Lupin pointing guns at each other... again...

-The woman falling through a window in the teaser was actually Fujiko, she had a wig so I didn't recognize her the first time

-WHY IS JIGEN POINTING A GUN AT LUPIN AGAIN FFS YOU TWO STOP DOING THAT

So yeah. These are my thoughts about the trailer.

It's definitely darker than Part 4 and 5, but still less dark than what the first poster and the teaser seemed to suggest, so I'm relieved. Regardless of Edgyness TM levels, it's still Lupin III and it's still a humorous anime, and the main series could never reach the level of Edgyness TM of TWCFM or the Koike movies. So I'm less worried than I previously was.

///

Thoughts about Jigen's new VA? Honestly I'm not impressed, for now. He kinda sounds like a younger version of Jigen would? Not very gruff like Kobayashi usually is. Obviously he's not gonna have the same voice, but I was expecting a closer match. Anyway, it's not so much the exact voice that counts as the acting and tone, so I guess we'll see when the anime actually airs. Also he said "aibou" so I'm happy ^^ And Kobayashi really deserves his retirement. I'd rather have that than him dying out of the blue like it happened with Yamada. Happy retirement, Sir!

///

Regarding the returning characters, I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER ABOUT YATA'S RETURN, Zeni needs a sidekick like him, and I love their dynamic so much, I'm so so glad TMS decided to keep him for more than one season (I was already surprised to see him in Prison of the Past). I'm a bit more surprised about Albert and possibly Nyx, because these two characters had a specific purpose in a specific plot, and idk how they're going to work if inserted in a different one. That said, it could be very interesting to see the two of them interacting... And more Albert means possibly more Lupin family backstory, so I'm happy about that. That said, I'm not actually sure it's Albert, and even less sure that Eyes Guy is Nyx.

Yata sparks joy.

Your thoughts?

SO GUYS I WENT TO WATCH THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

It is such an understatement to say that it was the best moment of my lifetime. I had the best time there. Honestly, I was smiling the whole 3 hours I was there. My whole life is fulfilled. Jonathan Roxmouth played the phantom and I couldn't have asked for more! I watched the 2004 Phantom of the Opera the night before and omg Jonathan sounded kinda like Gerard Butler??? BUT of course his voice was a lot fuller it's just that the level of his voice was quite similar to Gerard's and omg I thought Gerard was my fav Phantom GUESS WHAT

I thought wRONG

Jonathan no doubt is my favourite phantom, he was literally made for that role. The pitch of his voice, how he could manipulate it to be so dolce and soft and go so sTRONG AND LOUD and his voice was just so RICH ugHhagqgahsjd I love him very much he will have a very special place in my heart.

Omg I know that singing during a musical/play is the worst thing you could ever do so I literally just lip synCED everyone was so talented and great and I GOT THE FRONT ROW SEATS AGH AND I SAW AN UNTERVIEW OF THE CAST AN THEY WERE LIKE oh yeah oh yeah we can see the front row really clearly :O AgH I hope they didn't think I was singing along with them because like hey man that's rude

And oWO THAT SCENE

That scENE WHERE CHRISTING FIRST TEARS OF THE PHANTOM'S MASK UHGDHEHWHWJQK

Hello maAm that is my emOTIONAL SUPPORT MASK

Jonathan was so good at acting istg

Honestly? Wig s n a t c h e d (literally for the phantom)

I was so happy to be sitting at the front row I could hear and see EVERYTHING

I really learnt a lot about musicals and plays that day, I admire that so much thought was put into a single play to just display such greatness??? Like dude mr webber how did you think of all these things??? IT WAS SO SMART OF THE DIRECTORS TO PLAY AROUND WITH THE MATERIAL OF THE CURTAINS AND HOW THEY PLAYED WITH LIGHTS TO SHOW HOW THE PHANTOM IS IN THE MIRROR yo it was the best

EVERYTHING MOVED SO SMOOTHLY AND DIDNT MISS A BEAT AND THE PROPS oh man the pROPS (bravissima) THE ANGEL STATUE AND THE PHANTOM COULD STAND ON IT :O The bOAT?? WHO COULD FORGET THE BOAT AND THE RAILING THINGY THAT COULD MOVE UP AND DOWN SO THAT IT SHOWED HOW DEEP INTO THE LAIR THEY WERE GOING OMGOSH :') i was honestly in tears when the first note was played afsgdhfjfk

Also im paying too much attention to the phantom (BUT IT'S THE ATTENTION HE NEEDS)

everyone was so talented

This one musical had every element, thrill, comedy, romance, mAGIC???? WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE

Oh yeah a fuLL PLAYLIST WHICH IS A WHOLE BOP

I love la carlotta, piangi, andre and richard for providing all of the comedy relief :D they were so funny they had me cACKLING

Raoul???? Omg that night, Alexander Mendoza played and like he just debuted a little while ago and my goodness, Shane Dawson is that you?? I'm kidding, Raoul was so handsome and charming and A LITTLE CHAP HONESTLY HE WAS SO WHOLESOME AGH (also at many some angles he looked like Jack from Supernatural) when he and Christine sang All that I ask of you

hMNhgagejwkw yes

YES

I love my wholesome couple

ALSO i cant figure out the last magic trick they had

ALSOALSO at the start after christing tears off the Phantom's mask and he sang Stranger than you dreamt it

HDJAAKLQQL

HE HAD ME IN TEARS

THE RAW EMOTION

The acCENTS THAT HE NAILED PERFECTLY AND THE LIL STACCATOS AGHHHHHHHHH

honestly the phantom of the opera just made me fall in love with music again

The shAME THAT JONATHAN ROXMOUTH HAD OMG he was literally squirming on the floor and from the front row, i could hear the floor burns. If that ain't passion, nothing is.

Jonathan nailed everything. how he switched from the staccatos to legatos and switched it back into a whisper like voice, and also with so much emotion??? I COULD FEEL THE BITTERNESS IN HIS VOICE, THE ANGUISH AND SORROW UGSHHHH that was the point where i had tears in my eyes, i was so ready to cry but i had to be strong for mother

That was the most impactful scene for me and I really don't want to forget even a second of this musical

loved the very first scene where the orchestra blasted the intro and i didnt expect it and i nearly went deaf but yknow its worth it for the phantom of the opera

I really hope i get to meet the same cast again in the future :D

I thought Ramin Karimloo would be my fav musical phantom but boi was i mistaken. Guess god had oTHER PLANS AND IM LOVING IT

Basically I just proclaimed my love for him and he said my message was bEAUTIFUL AGH

I never want to forget this moment in my life

I bought the ticket a whole month before the date of the play and I'm so glad I got Jonathan Roxmouth as the phantom honestly i lucked out that day.

This musical was the only thing that got me through school and all my sad times and I'm so grateful, really I am. I wish I had the guts to go backstage or smt and meet the cast and thank them and hug Jonathan because I would've cried for him :')

I love this musical so much, I hope I get to see them again :D
