More Lupin content is always a plus for me, especially if made in this style and grit. I love me some classic Lupin too, but I was blown away by the impressive style featured in Fujiko Mine/Jigen's Gravestone. I felt it reinvigorated the franchise for me after a few sub-par TV specials.
I wonder if it will be another pair of OVA's or TV series? The 2015 Blue Jacket TV series is still fairly recent so I feel it probably wont be another series just yet. |

Combine some more Koike and Yamamoto and I'll be happy. Another film would be awesome!

As good as the Fujiko series was, Blue Jacket encompassed everything that makes Lupin what it is and I find it the height of the series as a whole (aside from the ending). A continuation would make me a very happy fan indeed.
Of course it could always be another Pachinko machine. |

I recognized James Shimoji's name from the Redline OST, but hadn't realized he also did the music for Jigen's Gravestone. I wonder if he'll end up being the Jo Hisaishi to Koike's Miyazaki (or the Susumu Hirasawa to his Satoshi Kon, if you prefer)?

I agree completely. Tally me as one more for a continuation of Blue Jacket. |

Guess I'm not understanding the love for the 2015 series. It was a bit lighter than A Woman Called Fujiko, but it still felt like it in many places. I enjoy the light-hearted Lupin of the first three series.

All the Lupin endings are more or less the same though and it actually had an acceptable ending.....unlike the Pink Jacket series.
The problem with the lighthearted ness is that it pretty much made the red & pink jacket series a wee bit too goofy at times....to say nothing of causing some characters to be flanderized in the process. |

Blue Jacket was still plenty goofy, in my opinion. I loved the visuals, but the actual stories were too silly for me most of the time. I guess I'm just not really a "Lupin fan". I really like Fujiko Mine and Jigen's Gravestone, but that's more or less all I've been able to get into. |

It was in some respects but considerably more balanced. Meaning you wound up with less absurd plots like someone wanting to eat Lupin's brains or Fujiko being arrested by Zenigata while trying to negotiate the sale of a submarine Lupin stole for a heist.
From what I've heard about them they're more serious and darker in tone....which the series has been all over the place with so that may be the reason......that are the art direction. |

It's a great time to be a Lupin III fan. We have darker/edgier fare in the Yamamoto/Koike-verse and we have the Blue Jacket which is like Green Jacket Series or Red Jacket Series shined through the prism of the Koike stuff. And best of all, we don't have any of those increasingly terrible TV specials that were just spinning their wheels for a decade after they peaked with Episode 0: First Contact.
The Lupin III Renaissance puts a smile on my face. |
