I think a lot of people are liking the artstyle. Its basically the 70's style but with modern production values, as opposed to the somewhat bulkier proportions favoured by the TV specials, but still a great deal more colourful and... I wanna say less 'sketchy' than the Fujiko anime? Not in the sense of its content but more the aesthetic, with the stencil like lines everywhere.

The way it combines old and new school production values is pleasing to me.

The Triad Frog is pleased with this custom title purchase.
It reminds me of the manga style opening of Jojo: Phantom Blood. I like it.

Heads up: a "preview" of the new season (some cuts, dubbed live by the italian voice actors) was shown last Saturday at a comic festival in Italy.

The new season will premiere on Saturday, August 29th at around 22.00 - 23.00 hours italian time on the Italia 1 channel, and it will air every Saturday at that time afterwards.

(Italia 1 is a public access tv channel, I don't think they're showing it anywhere outside Italy but it's extremely easy to find somewhere on the internet to watch it live.)

They've also released the new OP for the italian dub. It's super bad.

It'll start airing in Japan in October and it should be simulcast then.

One of my Italian friends ranted slightly about this the other day. On the one hand, sad to see what they're getting, on the other, they got to show me a previous opening the series had.

Surprised that the new op seems to be following the trend for just splicing together footage from the show - surely they'd have been offered a proper opening animation for their broadcast?

Maybe it's nostalgia talking, but almost all Italian anime openings until the end of the '90s were Really loving Good.

Never underestimate the power of "we've paid lots of money for this famous rapper to sing the opening, so we need the footage to match the lyrics".

It's not nostalgia, as an American I can confirm they really rule.

Telecom has a Lupin production blog here http://www.telecom-anime.com/lupin_blog/

Obviously its mostly a ton of Japanese text but they have some production material photos as well as art etc

Notably they're currently working on episodes in the 22-25 range, and will probably finish the entire series before it airs in Japan. It's gonna look great.

Also the guy responsible for Gurren Lagann episode 4 did episode 13.

Titles and blurbs of the first four episodes airing tonight, spoilered in case you don't want to read them.

Ep.1 - Lupin III's Wedding
Lupin is in San Marino to marry Rebecca, heiress to an important family in the country. A local tradition means that the wedding must be held in the presence of the captain-regents and especially of the precious royal crown. Guarding this precious crown is Zenigata, helped by the local police, who received Lupin's usual taunting message, but this time it seems Lupin is not involved.

Ep.2 - The Fake Fantasista
Mario Brozzi, a footballer for a San Marino team, is blackmailed by the mafioso Riccardo Mondini with clinical records according to which the footballer used doping. Helped by Fujiko, Brozzi gets in touch with Lupin and asks him to steal the clinical records from Mondini, or else he won't be able to play in the league's final game.

Ep.3 - 0.2% Chance of Survival
After the discovery of a fragment of Marie Antoniette's necklace, Lupin's gang is kept under surveillance by MI6 to recover the ancient jewel. Agent Nix is a difficult adversary for Jigen and Lupin, but the arrival in the city of the Prince of England, who is visiting Rebecca, will overturn the situation.

Ep.4 - Sharpshooter
Jigen visits a hospital to have a toothache healed, and finds out that in the city he's visiting the population is kept under the thumb by a certain Eric's gang of weapons traffickers, who is extorting protection money from them. Many people want Eric dead, but maybe the only person able to bring an end to him and his gang is Jigen.


Super pumped for tonight, btw :dance:

I'd imagine so. The continent in general actually does its own dubs for shows, rather than the UK's practice of 'import whatever the Americans got'. And given how big Lupin is in Italy, there'd be hell to pay if there wasn't a local cast (and they're already in enough trouble as it is with that rap).
