FYJ2 Entry 1
みなさんこんいちわ！ My winter break wasn't too eventful so instead I'll be talking about an anime movie I watched recently. This past weekend, I watched the first Lupin the 3rd movie, The Mystery of Mamo (ルパン三世 ルパンVSクローン, in Japanese). Lupin the 3rd is a very old franchise dating back to the 70s with its original manga and subsequent anime TV series. Fun fact: the TV anime was the directorial debut of Hayao Miyazaki! Miyazaki would also direct the second Lupin movie: The Castle of Cagliostro, which Western anime fans may be more familiar with than other Lupin media. I've been a big fan of Lupin the 3rd ever since I watched part 5 of the anime series which aired back in 2018. Since then I've been making my way through all the different TV shows, movies, OVAs, and TV specials (of which there are currently 27 as there was a new one made annually up until 2013, with them now coming out at varying intervals due to the new seasons of the anime series coming out since around that time)...
