Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best order to watch Lupin the 3rd vs Cat's Eye?

About 39 hours total across 97 episodes and 3 entries. At 3-4 episodes per day, that's roughly 28 days.
Can I skip the movies and OVAs?

Release order or chronological order?
Go with release order for your first time through. Chronological can be tempting, but shows are written with release order in mind — reveals hit harder and character arcs make more sense. Save chronological for a rewatch if you want a different perspective.
