>>2150320>Fun OVA with lot's of neat references, but very confusing and hard to follow. Honestly yeah, I didn't like it much when I finished it but after looking it up it made a lot more sense and I can appreciate the effort put it. Plus having an actual McDonalds in an anime was surprising.
Did make me wonder how Lupin is seen in his own world, apparently the events of Castle of Cagliostro had a movie.
>Never really got through all of V since to be perfectly honestThat's a shame, I really enjoyed Part V mostly because I enjoyed the nature of connected stories more than separate one off deals (I feel I'm in the minority for that though). The story of Part V was pretty good. I enjoyed the character of Ami and her arc, plus the idea of Zenigata letting her stay with him in his crappy apartment was nice since she had nowhere else to go (plus seeing more of Zenigata's life is cool). I also enjoyed the final arc where Goemon believed that Lupin considered him part of his collection and had a pretty deadly fight with him, kinda wish Lupin was out for the episode rather than waking up 10 minutes in. Goemon's one off episode was great as well.
>Still kinda weird to think of the series having a continuous story and universe though. Imagining stuff like A Women Called Fujiko Mine in the same universe as Bye Bye Lady Liberty is kinda hard to do.I actually considered that more of a spinoff than anything, it's too disconnected from the world of anime Lupin and it even tries to emulate the darker tone of the manga anyhow. The idea of Zenigata fucking Fujiko is just odd and off putting too, I enjoyed it for what it was though even if people think it's a horrible mess. Still, I'm happy that Miyazaki came in and made Lupin the carefree thief he is rather than the coldblooded rapist killer he was in the manga and by extension A Women Called Fujiko Mine
