I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!



There's a new Lupin III anime! Directly following from 2016's Part IV, this incarnation of the gentleman thief's adventures sees Lupin heading to France, and facing his greatest enemy yet: THE INTERNET!

I very much doubt you need me to tell you who the characters are, but here they are.


Lupin III! He's the brains! Claims to be descended from the great thief Arsène Lupin, but those claims have never been proven.


Daisuke Jigen! He's the gun! Usually acts as Lupin's voice of reason. In this house, we love and appreciate Daisuke Jigen.


Goemon Ishikawa XIII! He's the samurai! He can cut pretty much anything. He even cut the film the anime was printed on once.


Fujiko Mine! She's the babe! She's as often working against Lupin as with him. Had her own spinoff a few years ago with a lot of boobies.


Koichi Zenigata! He's the detective! He'd probably be the best investigator in the world if he wasn't so obsessed with Lupin.


Amlita! She's the hacker! A programming genius, she's responsible for designing the security system of the online bank Lupin has his eye on.


Lupin III streams each Tuesday at 2:30 Eastern on Crunchyroll.

some sort of funny wig id imagine.

I believe the end actually showed that there's facial recognition stuff going on that can see through his disguises.

Product placement where the name of the product is not mentioned and they're clearly legally distinct parody right.

It's fine if you thought it was a bit much, but product placement it absolutely was not.

Yeah, no, it was incredibly off-brand. Hopefully it's just a backstory thing and never comes up again.

On a brighter note, I enjoyed the skull man and his dog who seemed to step directly out of a 70s artstyle.

I feel like saving a criminal's life just so you can drive them to a place where you can arrest them is the epitome of Lawful Neutral.

Goemon has never seen a boob. I don't think he knows what a boob is.

Looks like we're going to get some of that desired episodic stuff next week. I hope we're not gonna abandon the theme of Lupin meets the Internet entirely, though.

Also, Pink Jacket next week?!

Catching up on the last couple episodes and man

This safe episode sure is 80s. I feel like they even tweaked the art style.

Speaking of Fujiko, I actually recently finished it for the first time and I fuckin love the double twist.

"Your life of crime and sex is just my escapist fantasy of a better life."

"Sike, bitch. I was ALWAYS like this."
