It's basically the Italian equivalent of the One Piece rap.

Thieving! (Don't give up Lupin!) Thieving! (Don't give it up Jigen!) Thieving! (Don't give it up, Goemon!)

I'll just watch the Japanese version, for the Japanese dubbing too.

I do love my language, but when it's used well and with good singers and voice actors. -__-'

I couldn't have said it any better. I wish kids' anime shows would have a fairer shake here in the U.S., myself.

I have to keep an open mind though because Italy has had its fair share of hits and misses with openings just like anyone else, even Japan. Italy is usually WAY better with openings, just not this time. Here's hoping at least the Japanese version is better.


Italy used to be better with anime opening 30+ years ago. When real professional and talented song writers and singers were involved. And those opening lyrics were later sold on lps and cassettes. So they needed to be good.
Nowadays there is no market for the sale of anime openings, so you get bad lyrics and bad musical arrangements. Hence modern animes are always better viewed with the original japanese music.
This Lupin III opening sucks. It sucks sucks sucks like the old time translated american anime openings. That's the level of suckage we're talking of.



I'm sad to hear that :/ I wish Italy still stuck with their old and far more superior way of doing amazing openings. Italy really did an amazing job back then. This opening was very disappointing.

Yeah, how about we don't have any Italian hip hop in the actual soundtrack? That would be just great. Besides that, I'm looking forward to the series.


I agree. The old way they did it with the music they had for many openings, especially ones by Giorgio Vanni among others, was WAY better.

If there's any consolation to this, the Italians aren't the only people whose anime shows have now become susceptible to being tarnished by poorly-made in-house songs...
