Note that I said “watch”, not “start with”. I’ve already watched the original, greenjacket series and I’m planning on watching Castle of Cagliostro, but I’m wondering which of the other Lupin III series and movies I should look into.

    I actually feel like season 4 was pretty good as a modern rendition. Otherwise, I’m partial to Takeshi Koikes films. There’s a new one of those coming out just this week iirc.

    You’ve already said you’re planning on it, but Cagliostro is a must. It’s not only a good Lupin film but a classic piece of anime media by Miyazaki.

    I’m nostalgic for Season 2 (red jacket) lupin, and while you probably not need to watch them all I think there are quite a few fun and good episodes there too (including a couple of cool and beautiful episodes directed by Miyazaki, which have some interesting relations to his other work).

    Also I think the new Lupin the IIIrd film series by Takeshi Koike is quite cool, representing a much darker and grittier Lupin than the light-hearted Miyazaki vision. It’s a great time to get into these ones too, because the final 2 pieces, Zenigata and the Two Lupins and The Immortal Bloodline are coming out in just a few weeks.
