Is Ran still clueless even after all this time or did he finally come clean with her?

Ran occasionally comes close to Getting A Clue about the situation but Shinichi gaslights her to ensure she never figures it out.

Dragon Ball Super just got lifted from Argentinian TV on behest of the Ministry of Gender because Roshi is too much of a pervy old man lmao I don't mind that but I do mind that they've suggested editing the episode to remove the offending bits, I find that to be pretty pointless and an unwelcome throwback to the 90s

Yup, the full name is Ministry of Women, Gender Policy and Sexual Diversity. Its current iteration is about two years old (there were previous entities that more or less fulfilled a similar role) and it exists because gendered violence against women and LGBTQ+ people is a major issue here.

I unironically want this (preferably with as much of the same voice cast from the previous one that they can get)

Also Viridi must return as a major character, this is nonnegotiable.

The guest writers include Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell, Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer, Vladlove), Masaki Tsuji (Kyojin no Hoshi, Umi no Triton), novelist Taku Ashibe (Murder in the Red Chamber), Akio Higuchi (Zone), and Kanae Minato (Confession).

The new series will center around two keywords, with "mystery" being the keyword of the "first cours" (quarter of a year). Lupin is after a treasure hidden by The Raven, a mysterious organization that manipulates the British government in the shadows. However, Sherlock Holmes appears before Lupin.

Sounds like this one will be a bit more story based with few if any one-off episodes, not sure how I feel about that.

The Sherlock Holmes aspect sounds interesting though (curious how it’s going to work considering most Lupin shows take place in the same era they air in, maybe it’s a ghost or something).

Those still had a few oneshots in between though, the way the description reads it sounds like the show is split into two story arcs but we’ll see how it goes.

Sounds interesting at least and I’m always down for more Lupin content.

the non-TWCFM serial stuff in lupin has so far sucked, so yeah depending how far it goes in on that it likely ends up bad like 5

maybe different writers can handle it but idk. it's not a complex formula you really need to be reinventing but that seems to be a fixation

I’d honestly kind of like to see a season one day that’s more like the old days (just a bunch of random capers with little if any connecting story attached to it), that’s what Lupin seems to be best at in my opinion anyway (though I didn’t hate Part 5 as much as I was expecting to)

No but as I get across with my Hyouka suggestion earlier I think there exists anime that end up as being better adaptions of the spirit of Sherlock Holmes stories by not actually adapting the stories than the actual adaptions themselves. Umineko (its been a while so I only have a vague recollection) has a lot of focus on the truth of statements, and evidence and so on which I think is pretty in keeping with the spirit of Sherlock Holmes and the mystery genre.

Vs some anime which just have the characters wearing the outfit going on an adventure and there isn't really much of an actual mystery challenging to the viewer to try to solve it themselves.

Columbo's son Bolonco appears in an episode of Lupin so they'll probably do something like that

IT KEEPS HAPPENING
I haven't seen much Lupin; how closely does it actually regard Maurice Leblanc Arsène Lupin stories as "canon"? because Arsène Lupin versus Sherlock Holmes was a big enough thing there's a book in the originals called Arsène Lupin versus Sherlock Holmes. Even if they play loose with the "canon", its existence means Lupin inherently has a Holmes connection built-in

Also when Arthur Conan Doyle complained Leblanc was using Holmes illegally it got changed to "Herlock Sholmes", which is where The Great Ace Attorney localization got that name

e: the easiest way to do it would probably just be to make Holmes into Holmes the 3rd the same way Lupin is Lupin the 3rd tbh

e2: I somehow missed this being mentioned in the article

theyve had holmes vs lupin a few times in lupin the 3rd. since lupin is the grandson of the original lupin, some stories have the holmes be holmes the 3rd, and there's an implied family rivalry. that said im pretty sure theres at least one that doesnt bother with that and just has it be actual sherlock holmes.

so what you're saying is umineko is a great adaptation of sherlock holmes because one is a mystery and the other is a mystery
