Maintained by the AnimeChrono community. 54 entries in chronological viewing order.

The Lupin watch order threads 53 installments, from multiple TV series to theatrical films and dozens of TV specials, into one chronological path. Begin with the Lupin III Pilot Movie, then the original TV run (Episodes 1-23) and the sprawling second series (Episodes 1-155). The landmark films The Secret of Mamo and The Castle of Cagliostro follow, leading into the third series (Episodes 1-50) and a long line of annual specials such as Goodbye Lady Liberty, Voyage to Danger, and Napoleon's Dictionary. Later reboots round it out: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, the jacket-era series (two Episodes 1-24 blocks and Episode 0-24), the Jigen's Gravestone and Goemon films, and the CG feature The First. Given the sheer volume, this is the completionist's correct order; casual viewers can treat the many TV specials as optional and focus on the numbered series and the marquee movies to get where to start and where to stop.
