Rec Us Your Newest Thing.
My newest thing is actually an old thing: Lupin III, which is one of my favourite anime, I started watching it when I was in middle school. I've been very into it lately, ever since watching the Jigen Disuke film in December, then I finally watched Lupin Zero and... Well. Let's just say I've never really been into Lupin/Jigen, but now I've changed my mind. Jigen has always been my favourite character, but in the past I leaned more towards Jigen/Goemon, I even wrote a fic years and years ago (both in English and Italian, it was one of the very few fics I wrote in Italian), but after watching Lupin Zero, how can you not ship Lupin and Jigen, even just a little bit? And no, I'm not going to add anything more specific, because I don't want to spoil anything. Just that it's set in the '60s, when both Lupin and Jigen are middle school students, and I found it very enjoyable. Especially a certain scene, which I still can't believe actually happened.
Now I'm slowly working my way through all the films and episodes I haven't watched yet: I started with "Jigen's Gravestone", because of course I would, and I really liked the style, it's very similar to the original Monkey Punch's drawings.
If you like the Lupin III universe but, like me, got distracted in the last few years and missed the latest additions, you can find most of the series and films on Amazon Prime. I could only find the Jigen Daisuke film in the original Japanese version with subtitles, but it wasn't a problem for me. Hopefully it won't be a problem for you either. :)
