Lupin III is coming to Toonami

Hopefully it's green jacket

Green jacket best jacket

>>92490200
I recognize that artwork, I think it's the blue jacket one from some years ago.

Nigga they just told you it's the 2015 season. Blue Jacket. It's great though, stylish and fun.

>the voices from fucking red jacket coming back

He'll yea. Shame about Zenigata though.

>>92490612
It's great. I wasn't expecting much from a modern Lupin series but was blown away by it. Also, Toonami General is gonna cum in their pants when they see the OP for the first time. It's like the old Lupin III OP had sex with Bebop's OP.

>>92490200
Series 4, so Blue Jacket. Don't worry, it's only a hair less slick than the Woman Called Fujiko Mine side of the franchise, and it's as fun as green jacket.

No IBO season 2. Gundam is officially dead in the west.

>>92490067
Nice

>>92490067
That's great. I just started watching this series myself and was hoping for this.

>>92490710
I think Red Jacket is significantly more fun than Green Jacket.

>>92490711
IBO is shit so consider yourself spared.

I actually started reading the original Lupin stories and the tone is surprisingly similar to Lupin III. I've only gone through the first series but I'm looking forward to second series because everyone tells me it's the best.

>>92490729
GREEN

>>92490200
RED

>>92490729
>>92490841
Kill yourselves back to MAL

It's probably gonna tank in the ratings, but good on them for showing it anyway.

>>92490859
A shame because it's been so long since Toonami picked up a real high tier anime that I can't even remember the last one. I feel like it's been years since Toonami aired a show of this caliber.

What are the differences between the jacket colors? Red was the one that was on Toonami ages ago right? Is green goofier, more serious or what?

>>92490887
Green Jacket is objectively the patrician's choice.

>>92490983
>What are the differences between the jacket colors?
Green is the best and the first, red is okay but sillier, pink is 80s as fuck and blue is almost as good as green

>>92490983
It's just a way of distinguishing the 4 different series. It goes green, red, pink, then blue.

Ahhh baby, best anime theme

>>92490067
I'll tune in, though I can't see it pulling huge numbers.

>>92490983
The series gets restarted/rebooted every now and then and when they do that they change the color of his jacket. So people use the jacket color as shorthand for which series they're talking about, rather than going "series 1 Lupin vs series 3 Lupin" etc.

>>92490067
>worst lupin

but why

For anybody who keeps saying Toonami will die soon, this is the reason it won't. Five years in and multiple licencors understand the power of getting a Toonami broadcast for new series.

>>92491202
Even if they have an interest the block still needs good ratings to justify its existence to its network. People doomsaying right now though are off base, the real problem won't be til DBZ Kai runs out of episodes.

>>92491174
Because its the newest one AND a dub premiere.

>>92490711
You do realize Lupin the III is 26 episodes right?
Also HXH canned or bumped?

>>92490067
Good for you america, part 4 is great.
I hope we will see another series soon (it's the 50th anniversary) but we'll probably have to wait another decade

>>92490711
Gundam will be back in the West if a good season gets made and dubbed.

I still think that G Reco would have been more successful than IBO in the West if it had been dubbed instead.

What are the best Lupin III series and movies? (other than Cagliostro obviously)

>>92491700
>G Reco
I watched G Reco. It was the worst thing I've ever seen. I wasn't stupid enough to watch IBO but I very much hope the fabric of reality haven't been warped. Because that's the only way something could be worse than G Reco

>>92491761
Green, Red, Blue. Mine Fukijo is polarizing but it's good. I've only seen Cogliostro, Walther P38, and Gold of Babylon.

>>92492231
Lupin gets periodically rebooted. They change his jacket color every time. Fans refer to the series by the jacket color. The colors themselves mean nothing.

>>92491824
I liked G Reco. It was a fun space adventure. A lot of people claimed the story was confusing but I thought it made sense.

IBO could have been good but the writers made terrible decisions near the end of the story.

>>92491036
Not even the best Lupin III opening.

More or less accurate. 2015 is on par with original in my opinion. They go for different approaches but are equally enjoyable.

>>92491527
Why would it be canned?

>>92492231
In every series of Lupin he gets a new jacket
Part 1 is green
Part 2 is red
Part III is pink
Part 4 is blue

>they pull this shit right before it ends

Damn. Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in!

>>92493100
well it's still a few weeks until it starts

also best case scenario is that hxh moves to 1 AM and tokyo ghoul moves to 2 AM, but we know that won't happen

So I never watched lupin, do I need to watch the previous ones to get this one?

>>92491202
>Show X is going to air
>"Ah yes finally a hit show destined for success"
>Show does meh-good
>WTF HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

Literally the same shit you people have been spewing for 5 years. Not saying it'll do bad, but this reasoning has yielded some pretty shitty results for you before.

I never finished Green Jacket, I should really get back on that shit. Outside of that the only movies I've seen are Cagliostro and Mamo

>>92493071
I've got three of the Tokyopop volumes. The printing is pretty fucky in them, moreso in the pages Punch uses watercolour

Considering the content, we'd be lucky to ever see a reprint

>>92493168

Not really. All you really need to know is the core 5. Lupin, Jigen, Fujiko Goemon and Zennigata. You can probably find a synopsis of them somewhere.

>>92493100

This has been my experience with Toonami pretty much since the first year. They go through runs where I lose interest almost completely but then will pull out a surprise pick that convinces me they aren't completely retarded.

>>92493176
Yeah no. Fanboys hyping up their favorite show =/= people who know what they're talking about hyping a show. Lupin III is a good anime, but I'm not expecting it to be super successful. I'm worried its tone is too mature for Toonami, in the sense that it's about adults, for adults, and not so much teens like 90% of the shows on Toonami, especially the ones that are super popular.

For the record, the last show I heavily endorsed as being a guaranteed hit on Toonami was OPM, and I was 100% right.

>>92493168
Nope. Lupin is episodic by nature, after a couple episodes you'll get familiar with the characters and how they act and can just slip into their adventures.

>>92491174

Please. Even if you didn't like blue you have to have brain damage to argue that it's worse than pink. Really though my only problem with blue is the ending. The rest of the series is fantastic.

>>92493168
Nope. They're pretty much all their own continuities in some way or another. Hell, manga Lupin is a straight up rapist in many instances compared to his more "loveable pervert" persona the anime have made him usually be.

I wonder if this could pave the way to get Jigen's Gravestone or Goemon Ishikawa's Spray of Blood for a movie night. I could see the darker bloodier tone going over well with the toonami audience.

>>92491243
>the real problem won't be til DBZ Kai runs out of episodes
They can always just go back to episode 1 when that happens. At one per week, a whole run of the series takes three years. It's not like Kai was a new thing before Final Chapters started. Plus they still have Super which is a year and a half behind on the Japanese broadcast.

>>92493168
Just watch one of the movies and you're set. There's no large continuity in Lupin.

>>92493446
There is no way they could air either movie without severe edits. Jigen has a long sequence halfway through that is straight up hentai and Goemon is extremely gory towards the end.

>>92490067
Man, if more anime looked like that I'd watch anime on a regular basis. The way 1990+ anime looks just has very little appeal to me. Miyazaki and Hiroyuki Imaishi are the two exceptions.

>>92490711
Shit like this has never stopped Demarco before, which is why the One Piece anime lasted so long on the block

>>92493477
They'll probably let Super take the lead and just throw on something else.

Or maybe the redub of GT.

>>92493446
Doubtful. Like the one guy said, there's a like a five minute seen with Fujiko stark naked and full of rapey vibes. Haven't seen the Goemon movie yet, but I don't doubt it being bloody as pretty much anything with him in the lead is bound to have a lot of people dying.

>>92493168
Nah, you can start watching at pretty much any point. Just get to know the main characters
>Lupin's gang
Lupin: master thief, doesn't really care about money
Jigen: hard boiled gunslinger, a crack shot
Goemon: swordsman of improbable skill, silent type
>Others
Fujiko: beautiful and treacherous, sometimes helps Lupin or works against him
Zenigata: hapless interpol detective who dogs Lupin's heels

>>92493477
>They can always just go back to episode 1 when that happens
They'll lose a lot of viewers that way. Of course they'd lose a lot of viewers by taking it off. There's no real solution to the problem, hence why it's the first real crisis Toonami will have.

Woo!

>>92492621
>Not available in my country
But...but I fucking love that theme.

>>92493570

Blood and violence really aren't anything to Toonami. I mean Goemon does go a little over the top what with showing wounds getting infected and having some pretty nasty bisections. Strangely enough most of the kills are pretty tame. Just Goemon slicing through dudes.

>>92493594
Hard to say, some people would probably be fine with a do over of DBZ, at least when it's not right in the fucking middle of an arc like what happened 20 years ago. And starting at the literal START of the entire franchise, no less.

>>92493594

They'll probably just start showing boruto or something. Naruto has been pretty solid despite being tucked in the back of the block. Japan runs off of nostalgia just as much as the US does.

>>92490067

True, they didn't change a thing with Hellsing and that had some actual gore and guts involved in some scenes. Still, the bit with Fujiko in the Jigen movie would have to be blurred out.

>>92493668

It's great. It really has that old 70's charm that makes Lupin so enjoyable. The animation is great and the OP and the ED are fucking god tier.

Mothafuckin' Richard as Jigen again, hell yea!

>>92493725
Looking forward to it. Any clips of the english dub?

>>92493570
>there's a like a five minute seen with Fujiko stark naked and full of rapey vibes
Yeah exactly. I mean I guess they could edit that scene out but then that subplot wouldn't make any sense.

>>92493629
Maybe it wouldn't be too bad, I don't know. But the thing to consider is that unlike shows like Family Guy and Rick and Morty where it happens all the time, it's not played for laughs. The last ten minutes especially get really brutal.

I'm a faggot that hasn't watched anything on the block that appears after 1 AM so if they've shown equally violent stuff in the past and were okay, then forgive my ignorance.

>>92493773
There was a trailer released a few months ago but I can't find it anymore. It's the same cast as the dub for the second series.

If they take it out, sure. But if they just blur it, it'd be fine, so long as Fujiko isn't shining like fucking Jesus.

>>92493767

Someone has really been putting foot to ass on the Lupin Franchise as of late. They had a long period there where pretty much everything they released was forgettable but now it seems like they're putting a lot of budget and care into their new productions. A Woman Called Fujiko Mine is certainly debatable in terms of story quality but the animation and ambition in the series was undeniable and both the movies that spun off from it were pretty damn good.

>A Woman Called Fujiko Mine is certainly debatable in terms of story quality
Probably why they started doing the spinoff/sequels with Jigen and Goemon, to make up for what people felt was lacking in the main series. I imagine they're probably going to do one with Lupin set in that same universe.

>>92493176
Lupin III's online footprint is almost nonexistent, nobody will be hyping this up.

>>92493974

Apparently you missed all the hype when blue jacket was announced. People lost their fucking shit.

I just want Discotek to release more Shows. I mean, i enjoy the movies, but more shows please.

>>92493942
Honestly, never found any of the Zenigata voices to be bad. I know some weren't too keen on Sonny doing Lupin, especially so shortly after Tony knocked it out of the park, but Sonny's Lupin was pretty entertaining as well.

Will say that Richard pretty much owns Jigen, but the ones that played him in things like Cagliostro and Gravestone are pretty damn fine.

>>92494004
Well they are putting out the complete Red Jacket show. Sadly, only the episodes that were dubbed will be dubbed, while the rest will stay in Japanese. Bummer given that the cast would probably be glad to return and finish it up.

>>92493810
>so if they've shown equally violent stuff in the past and were okay, then forgive my ignorance
They aired Hellsing Ultimate, man. Only stuff they censored was the necro rape and little boy rape. And all the fucks.

>>92491527

on Hiatus

>>92494004
At least we're finally getting series 2 after what feels like forever and this series is supposed to get a blu-ray release at some point. Probably after Toonami finishes airing it. Series 3 is the only one left after that without a complete US release. I think right now, all I want from Discotek is the Mamo movie on blu-ray.

And Urusei Yatsura. We're getting Beautiful Dreamer. I hope the rest of the series follows.

>>92494059
red is part 2, right? I have the first box set.

He's actually imitating Alucard there, because the cross is upside down. When Anderson does the pose it's a normal cross, but when Alucard does it with his guns it's a reverse cross, like pic related.

Mob is obviously coming, as the other two shows that were on that poll have. It got the most votes in fact.

Though it would be hilarious (in a terrible, "this block is run by fucking morons" way) if they did what they did in 2005 again: they did a poll on their forums with Samurai Champloo, Paranoia Agent, and Gungrave. Gungrave won. Out of those three shows, Gungrave didn't air.

>>92490983

Green was the original series. Starts serious although with some goofy cartoony humor too, then gets lighter in the 2nd half. It has a Lupin who often kills and does some other scumbag stuff. Zenigata attempts to outright kill Lupin several times.

The 2nd series featured a Red Jacket. It's a direct sequel to the original going from the first episode, but most episodes are much lighter (although there are some darker ones too) and Lupin sometimes is portrayed as an outright joke. Zenigata never attempts to kill Lupin, and Lupin is generally a noble thief that never takes lives. Although there are a few episodes focused on him plotting the death of assassins or even a cop that attempted to kill him - those are generally personal grudges though, rather than killing even random grunts like in the original.

Pink was the third series. It has a very different art style from the others (Lupin starts with an afro and a double chin) and that art style also changes during the show itself becoming much more cartoony and off model in later episodes. It's similar to Red Jacket, although Lupin is generally portrayed as more competent, with many episodes involving him taking down rebellions or governments with just his little party. The goofier episodes go goofier than Red Jacket, but it has serious episodes that go darker than anything in Red Jacket though, including Goemon decapitating someone and tons of blood. Zenigata is often sidelined, with some episodes basically just giving him an obligatory cameo.

Blue Jacket is the recent series. It has a main plotline, unlike the previous ones, although also many standalone episodes. Zenigata doesn't appear in every episode and is portrayed as a more serious rival to Lupin. It also adds two new recurring characters Nix, a married Bond with calculation powers, and Rebecca, a rich thrill seeker.

After this is Toonami officially out of easily recognizable by the wider population series to bring over? Is there a new Sailor moon or something I don't know about?

>>92495318
Mob Psycho is nothing like OPM. It has pretty much none of the same appeal. It was pretty well received when it aired but it has absolutely none of the broader appeal that OPM has among western audiences. How do people get it into their heads that just because MP100 is by OPM's author that it will be equally successful despite having totally different aesthetics, characters, and setting?

Who here /OVAandmoviepatrician/?

Anyone who doesn't like The Conspiracy of the Fuma Clan can get bent.

>>92495377
IDK man there's people who are excited for FLCL's new seasons despite it being FLCL in name only. I think you are overestimating people's ability to think through stuff.

>>92495391

Hey, as long as The Pillows do the soundtrack and the original dub VA for Haruko shows up again, I am all fucking fine with new FLCL.

>>92490067

Which one?

A Woman Named Fujiko Mine? The 2014 series? The older series?

The Jigen and Goemon movies?

>>92495377
So? It still has action segments and the author appeal is enough to warrant interest from some.

>>92495318
Mob's popularity is pretty inconsequential compared to OPM's though. It's like saying that because Homestuck was so popular obviously And It Don't Stop should have a crazy huge fandom too because it's by the same guy. It just doesn't add up.

>>92495418

Read the thread, yo. Blue Jacket!Lupin.

>>92495417
So basically you don't really like or care about FLCL and just jerk off to it for nostalgia to fit in.

>>92495444
Christ mate, it hasn't even aired yet.

>>92495421
Nobody liked OPM because of "author appeal". They liked it because it was a satire of superheroes with jaw dropping animation for its fight scenes. MP100 doesn't have superhero satire, all it has is the nice animation along with a more rudimentary Japanese setting with a middle school protagonist. You are vastly overestimating how much people give a shit about "author appeal".

Mystery of Mamo's pretty close to the tone of the manga. Fuma Conspiracy's a fucking great movie, gorgeous animation. Episode 0's pretty good in a kind of generic "we have to get the gang together" formulaic way. Bye Bye Liberty Crisis is fun.

Mob was a seasonal fad and it's over, nobody really cares about it now. There's plenty of shows that have decent action and animation but so what? All Mob had was that it was by the same author as OPM but 90% of Toonami's audience doesn't know or care about that.

>>92495629
Fuck off. Sick of fake fans like you who pretend to like series just to fit in.

No. Take the stick out of your ass and stop getting uppity at people like some obnoxious fanboy. If people want to have some hope for it, let them.

I also really enjoyed The Gravestone of Daisuke Jigen. Honestly I feel like it was the best characterization of Lupin.

Why do people still get surprised about subpar ratings these days? Anime isn't the rarity it was back in the 90s where few networks offered it and you had to take any rumor with some level of seriousness for it possibly being a major spoiler. As most people mention in the Toonami threads, we're lucky to even have the lineup in this day and age when all of the shows can literally be found on a number of streaming services or just torrented for free. Even if by some miracles Toonami was able to regain it's weekday format (airing more appropriate shows, of course), it still probably wouldn't see even half the success it had in the glory days. I hate to say that, but it's the truth.

>>92496373

I really enjoyed the OVA up until the end but the series proper just rubs me the wrong way for some reason.

>>92496326
It was two seasons, buddy. The DVD sets even say so.

As for sequels, there were rumblings about the possibility of more Dandy, just nothing absolute. And Watanabe isn't all that against sequels, he has in recent times mentioned something of an interest in doing more Cowboy Bebop. Of course, whether he could do it the justice he did all those years ago is anyone's guess.

>>92496357
Why yes, yes it is. Just because they have the same name doesn't mean they're exact same thing. This is the Blue Jacket series which is significantly different from the Red Jacket show that aired back when AS was still practically newborn.

Yeah, right. Next you're going to say the Bruce Timm Superman cartoon from the 90s was different from the Fleischer shorts from the 40s.

>>92496397
Because Toonami is all about ratings. If a show isn't getting good ratings, Toonami loses an hour because Adult Swim makes more money off 800k viewers tuning in for Cleveland Show reruns.

Toonami needs more hit anime.

>that OP
>QUALITY

>>92496594
Toonami needs a thing, and I don't think anime alone is going to do it. That being said, I think Lupin is an exception to nearly everything I'm about to say.

Anime can supplement what Toonami is but too many people remember Toonami as "the anime block" rather than the action cartoon block that it was. Toonami really needs more original action programming of any kind really, and then supplement it with popular (but generally plebian) anime to fill the rest of its time out. Look at how much attention Toonami got from Samurai Jack and Space Dandy. Look at how slick and nice the Samurai Jack bumpers are that they made.

>>92496373
Unicorn. HxH moved to 2. Unicorn was boring as shit and I'm glad we don't have to slog through another Gundam

>>92495940

I don't think you understand exactly what QUALITY is anon.

>>92496704
But we tried that with Jack and it didn't work. Everyone loved and tuned in for Jack, but the second Jack ended they turned their TVs off because the rest of the lineup is trash

>>92496594
Even if it were getting really good ratings, the network could easily steal away hours if they wanted to. The whole thing will never not be a pet project to them. It would have to get ratings that blast things like Hulu, Netflix, and Vue out of the water, and such a thing is highly unlikely.

Are there any plans to re-air the red jacket dub beforehand?

>>92496755
But that's more just an issue of programming not being compelling in general. If Dragonball Super and Ghost in the Shell can't make people come out to watch I don't know what will. Dubs aren't a selling point except only to a very niche group of people who just hate reading that much or are unable to pay attention to subs and the show at the same time.

I'd say that more appropriate anime at a weekday time would be more successful but I'm pretty sure even kids nowadays know they can watch Naruto subbed online.

>>92496849
Unlikely. Given the loose continuity between the series, it wouldn't make much sense. Plus, only about 60 or so episodes got dubbed, the rest are still in Japanese. And even though Discotek is releasing it in sets, they have no plans to dub those remaining episodes.

>>92496880
>Dubs aren't a selling point except only to a very niche group of people who just hate reading that much or are unable to pay attention to subs and the show at the same time.
Hey, some people like the dub actors, there are some great ones out there.

>>92496880
That's the issue. GitS is a rerun and Super is dogshit. They need to put shows on people don't hate for people to tune in

>>92496913
Sure but in the general sense the voice acting is still pretty bad. And yeah it's improved significantly since the old days but it's still inferior to the Japanese voice work 9/10 times. And anime really needs good voice work because, quite frankly, the majority of weekly anime is made on the cheap and it shows it too. It doesn't have the same quality of hiding the shortcuts that western animation does and so the voice acting has to do a lot of the legwork that the animation can't.

Nobody watches dubbed foreign language films anymore, either.

FUCK I WISH I HAD CABLE
Toonami has all this cool shit now that I cancelled my subscription :(

>>92497017
A lot of dubs are pretty good these days, consistently so. Maybe they aren't all perfect like some rare examples, but they're pretty much on par with the original cast in a lot of cases nowadays given that ADR isn't nearly as chaotic as it used to be where there was barely to no communication between the dub cast and the original studio to get input and help.

Beyond that, it often just comes down to preference. Some people always want an English voice to sound like the Japanese one, but in many cases it just can't be done without either coming off as too forced, or simply not being able to do some of the vocalizations that are only capable by someone speaking the original language.

>>92496891
It would make sense given that red jacket is part of adult swim's history (2003) and that it fucking owns. I can see why they might not though given that it's incomplete.

I remember watching it as part of a 4chan Toonami stream in college (back when Toonami was dead). It was a fun show to just watch late at night chatting with other people from /co/.

>>92497128
>I can see why they might not though given that it's incomplete.
That's the main thing. Unless they change plans and dub that as well, it'd be kind of pointless to reair when they only have about half the show dubbed.

>>92497128
AS doesn't own Lupin.

Also how many episode is the one we are getting?

>>92497166
Should be 26.

>>92497166

26

>Still have my copy of the PS2 game and a Lupin shirt from the hot topic before it turned to shit.

This will be fun. Jigen was my favorite.

>>92496594
> Too many people remember Toonami as the anime block rather than the action cartoon block

The reason old Toonami was an action cartoon block was because western animation was still producing action cartoons in good amount. Granted, what Toonami had were often castoffs from other networks (TMNT, Justice League), but that was still only because action was still being made.

Nowadays, the western action cartoon genre is all but dead. DC shows got suffocated by how successful TTG is, Marvel cartoons are padlocked to Disney and greatly reduced in quality, Black Dynamite and Rick&Morty have more focus on humor than action, etc.

Toonami gave a lot of shows like Thundercats, The Clone Wars, and Symbionic Titan a second chance, which is better than I think a lot of people initially hoped for.

>>92497459
>This will be fun.
Yes, watching millennials ruin something you love is sooooo much fun.

>>92496704
It would be sick if they got airing rights to more foreign shows. For instance, Lastman. Also, music played a big part in Toonami and Adult Swim.

>>92497531
I think this is good. A lot of the appeal of anime, even anime that appeared on Toonami, was "you can't get this anywhere else." Toonami did a whole thing of turning people onto The Gorillaz, and Adult Swim's own anime stuff helped further this.

If Toonami was able to get a lot more obscure stuff I think it would help bring back the appeal. I don't think appealing to the dying market of English-dubbed anime is the right idea.

7/10, while Lupin in interesting it lacks any appeal beyond a niche audience. With no Gundam it means no cool mecha battles for the first time in years on Toonami.

Super is already fun, but I just hope the animation foulups don't ruin it like they did One Piece.

Kai is boring as shit.

Attack on Titan is fine, just hope more people tune in.

Ghoul is the worst sort of edgy anime but if it pulls in ratings fine.

GiTS is just so old it's not worth watching.

4/10. It's a great pickup, it's just a shame everything else still sucks. Since Jack will be gone when it starts it will be the only thing on the block worth watching

>>92497904

Are you remembering right? It wasn't till last year we even got a Gundam, neither of which had mech battles very often. The last mecha show before that was Gurren Lagann over 2 years prior

>>92497904
>no cool mech battles

So you mean January 2017 when Unicorn started.

>>92497904
>Super is already fun, but I just hope the animation foulups don't ruin it like they did One Piece.
It does get a lot better as it goes on. The current arc has animation on par with a lot of the late DBZ stuff, with only an occasional screwup on the faces or coloring. Pretty forgivable compared to the early shit we've got to still trek through.

>>92497904
Super is trash, your opinion is shit

>>92497684
Samurai Jack is poorly written.

>>92497981

Apparently Toriyama tore Toei a new asshole over the animation for the first couple of arcs. You'd think if they were going to unfuck themselves for anyone it would have been Toriyama.

>>92498028
Well that, and there has been a slight improvement in the policies seen in animation studios. They're still pretty bad all things considered, but now the people doing the work aren't being worked quite as harshly.

Baby steps.

>>92498027
Only the last 3 episodes because Scaramouche was killed and Ashi power-creeped.

>>92498070
I agree it was only the last 3 episodes but it doesn't help that the people who saw red flags the minute Ashi was introduced were right.

My main complaint is that not only is the writing bad; Samurai Jack was never known for plot; but the directing took a turn for the worse after episode 4.

>>92497951
>>92497980
IBO ended relatively recently before Unicorn started. It was like 2 weeks, not a long-term drought.

Before that, we had Dimension W, Kill la Kill, Space Dandy, Gurren Lagann, Big O, FLCL, IGPX, Symbionic Titan, Eureka Seven, Samurai 7, and Casshern.

He's pretty much always the perfect foil to Lupin. In the red jacket series, he's a dope you can't help but want to see succeed, even though you it would mean putting Lupin behind bars. Other times, he's quite competent and knows that while Lupin is a crook, there are often bigger fish to fry, and still does it while being something of a dope.

Kind of like the love-hate thing you see with Batman and Joker and other cat & mouse pairs; they compliment each other well.

>>92498118
What in the fuck are you on about? Of that list, Gurren, Big O, E7, SBT and IGPX are the only mecha shows. All of which haven't aired since early 2015

>>92498169
The fat one?

Can't see much of a resemblance, but I wouldn't put it past them to have maybe taken some inspiration from gramps. He's pretty much the role model of the bumbling cop you see in anything where the hero is a criminal of sorts. Some homages being outright blatant even.

>>92498118
Yea you aren't getting it. They meant Unicorn is dull garbage that doesn't have mech battles

>>92498242

>>92498443

This is a very stupid opinion. Gundam has always placed the characterizations and politics over the mecha action, from Day 1.

The people who call Unicorn "boring" because it's talky are just imbeciles who should just stay away from Gundam in general.

>>92498443
>The series is know for its great mech battles, the political shit is just icing on the cake
This is hilariously backward considering the very first Gundam series was mostly about space politics and war crimes with only occasional battles, mostly because the animation they had to work with was very limited so focusing on political shit made it easier on the animators. And Gundam shows have followed that formula ever since, there's only a few stand out series that focus mainly on fighting and they invariably are the one-off titles that don't tie into the universal century shit, like G-Gundam, Build Fighters, etc.

>>92502124

Yeah, he's like 84 right now.

>>92502614
Impressive that he's still doing work at that age. Japanese longevity for you, whenever they're not killed by the deadly Japanese Cold anyway.

>>92502604
I preferred gray jacket, had way better animation

>>92499691
But i dont get one thing. Why does in japan even if it is dubbing western cartoons they can get top tier voice actors but america cant?

Can someone give me a rundown of what to watch of Lupin?

I watched the Castle thing a while ago and liked that.

anime is non-union

>>92502684

Japan doesn't have unions like America does. The reason anime gets all the shit VA's is because none of the studios hire union, which means that when an anime VA like Blum or Baily gets an offer to move up to cartoons or videogames they aren't allowed to voice anime anymore. If they did they would face fines and likely not be able to work for a period of time. Granted they could turn their back on the whole thing and go back to anime but the money isn't as good and there aren't any benefits to speak of. In Japan they don't have any of that and a voice actor can just take roles as they get offered and as their schedule allows.

>Hunter X Hunter gets pushed back to the ratings dead zone

>Tokyo Edge continues to shit up 1 AM

Oh, I see your plan, DeMarco. Give us an hour of good shows after Ghoul so we're more willing to suffer through Hot Topic: The Series to get to them.

That might actually work, especially since Titans is actually getting to the part where it becomes watchable and they begin resolving the big mysteries.

>>92503231
>Hunter X Hunter gets pushed back to the ratings dead zone
I fucking knew that would happen. As much as I want to see HxH get more attention and love hearing it get a fairly good dub, it's impossible for the average anime normie to watch that show only once a week.

It drags on way too long before it gets to York New and the shit before that only appeals to nerds who can appreciate good writing without the need for edgy fights and powers.

>using my brain huuurrrrts! me want more punchy-bots! beam sabers and guns, pshew pshew boom yay!

So for someone who's heard of Lupin III but never got into it, is there a watch guide? Do I just pick up the subbed version and start with Green, or are there good dubs to watch?

>>92503533

The dubs are okay generally if you want to go that way but the subs are consistent as hell. They've really only recently had any change in the lineup and only because they've been running since the early 70's. Green Jacket is actually a pretty good place to start. Green Jacket and Red Jacket are good series. Pink is debatable. As for movies The mystery of mamo is good and the castle of cagliostro is pretty much required viewing not just as a Lupin movie but as required cinema in general. Plenty of western directors have called it a huge influence. Other than those the movies can be extremely hit or miss. Be warned Lupin's personality varies wildly from series to series and from movie to movie. Sometimes he's a bit of an asshole and sometimes he's an out and out hero who only steals from people that have it coming.

>the episode where Jigen gets the toothache
Toonami general's gonna bust a nut

>>92499417
No, plenty are still doing dubbing like Richard, Steven, and others.

>>92502124
Oh sure. Because nobody buys Gundams for the mechs that are made into numerous models of varying scale and articulation which are printed in far greater number than statues of the characters.

Goddamn you're an idiot. The mech battles are just as important, if not more so.

>>92502150
And yet as they got better with the animation they gave more focus to the fucking action and made it better. Stay the fuck wrong, twat.

>>92502185
Fuck off, kid. People buy Gundam merch for the MECHS.

>>92503628
I might lean into subs, but I was a little confused about what of the original series was actually dubbed. Whether everything's been covered or only bits of it over the years. I ask because I'm cultivating the position of "uncle with cool stuff" in my extended family, and my nephews don't have the patience for subtitles yet.

>>92502229
Who was the designer for Blue Jacket btw? I prefer this to the Fujiko's spin-off (even if in that last one maybe they spent more money)

>>92505690
Hisao Yokobori, same guy who did this.

Doesn't instantly guarantee bad.
I mean the 2nd Hellraiser movie was mostly different people without Clive Barker a part of it, but it was thanks to that sequel that the series became more than one great movie but an entire series and universe of lore.

Wow maybe we'll finally be able to have consistent Lupin threads on 4chan.
>Trying to start a Lupin thread in the sea of moe garbage that is /a/

>>92502448
Better that than we get a situation like Goku's.

>>92505690
Fun Fact: Fujiko Mine spinoff was by Sayo Yamamoto, the woman who made Michiko & Hatchin and Yuri on Ice.

>>92506609
> Yuri on Ice

I wonder if Toonami will ever got back to airing sports shows.

>>92507250

I would legit stay up as late as necessary if Toonami got "Yuri on Ice".

>>92507301
>no comfy yuri on Ice at the end of the block.

>>92496023

>evolution
>the chart goes in the wrong fucking direction

What kind of braindead weebfuck made this shit?

>>92507322

I really do wish Toonami would get a comfy slice-of-life show or even a shoujo show to balance all the GRR ACTION ERRYWHERE stuff a little.

>>92505821
/a/ doesn't like discussing old stuff for good reasons but their still a bunch of elitist pricks with shit taste in anime.

>>92508214
Good reasons?

It's about keeping discussion fresh and avoiding circlejerking. But in my opinion it doesn't work and they're too strict about it.

>>92508214
>>92508341
/a/ doesn't have daily Lupin threads because there's not enough people interested to generate constant discussion. There are older shows that get constant threads and even circlejerky general threads for some franchises that aren't currently airing because there's more fans of those shows on /a/. Most of the people who'd want to talk about Lupin 24/7 don't post on /a/ because they don't really watch a lot of anime. Also outsiders seem to have a hard time posting on /a/ without setting off shitpost alarms and getting their threads deleted.

>>92492906
And black Jacket is the Takeshi Koike movie with Fujiko sucking a bong like if it was a dick.

>>92508497
I post on /a/ regularly. Sometimes there's a nice Ranma thread but they really hate talking about old shit. Unless there's a chance of a new continuation and then people theorize about that. People will bring older anime in general discussion threads that relate to all anime but you won't get specific threads about them.

>>92497116
>but they're pretty much on par with the original cast in a lot of cases nowadays
Not even close.

>>92508593
>you won't get specific threads about them.
This is just blatantly false and you clearly don't browse /a/ a lot if you think this. There's constant Eva threads, every now and then a big Detective Conan thread gets made, and maybe 2 or 3 LoGH threads per month that get hundreds of replies. And those are just the ones I actively look for or can't help noticing all the time. If a show has enough fans, you can have threads about it.

>>92508598
They are though.

>>92508668
Eva and Conan are ongoing franchises which I accounted for. I concede LotGH but like Ranma there are a few exceptions to every rule. The general attitude over there is very against talking about old shows. Just try and make a thread about Bebop right now.

Goddamnit. I've never seen the original.

>>92502598
Hell, Japan will straight up get rid of a character sometimes if the actor died.

That's not a completely uncommon thing to do in animation.

>>92508817
The anime? I imagine a lot of fans haven't here, many probably got introduced through red jacket or the Miyazaki film.
