The Anime Order

26 suggestions, most-recommended first

Anime like Lupin III

256 people recommend Great Pretender to anyone who liked Lupin III — more than any other title. Cowboy Bebop is second on 135 votes and Detective Conan third on 62. 23 more suggestions cleared the threshold, and all of them are listed below, strongest first. These are votes rather than an algorithm: each number counts AniList members who watched Lupin III and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Six of the 26 have a watch order on this site; the rest are named so you can find them.

Where these come from

Every number above is a tally of AniList members who finished Lupin III and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why Great Pretender follows Lupin III, only that 256 people think it does. Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

6 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: Great Pretender , Cowboy Bebop , Detective Conan , Spy x Family , Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba , Baccano! .

Keep going

Each of these has its own list of what people recommend after it — so if one of the suggestions above appeals, you can see where it leads before committing to it.
