I'm a huge Lupin fan. It is disappointing that Lupin doesn't do all that well here in the US. Funimation still hasn't even released all of the series yet and they had that ages ago. As for the series in japan there usually released one movie once in a while. A special and/or OVA usually once a year. |

I liken this matchup to be something akin to an irresistable force vs. an immovable object setup. I mean two opposing powers, one a super criminal and the other a super sleuth, I can just see an endless number of one-upmanships and snappy comebacks. If we DON'T get this, I hope we at least get a version somehow.

FUNimation never licensed any Lupin The III TV Series. They picked up some movies/OVAs/TV specials/I have no clue. It was Geneon who picked up the series and didn't get it all out.
You do realize that Detective Conan still has a weekly run? It's been on for over a decade in Japan. FUNimation has like 130 out of like 500 episodes. So unless it ends in Japan, FUNimation could have never completed the entire series. It is impossible to release a series like that in R1 without a concurrent mainstream TV-Broadcast.
FUNimation said they made money off of the Lupin III specials/OVAs/whatever they released. Conan's chance at more episodes in R1 really depends on how well the current Seasons Boxsets sell. So I advise those who want to see more Conan episodes in R1 to buy up those sets. They're also episodes in these sets that have not been released by FUNimation yet. However, they did say we may see more of the Conan movies in R1. |

It sounds pretty cool. I'm a fan of both franchises but I haven't really explored much into either as they're both rather large and pricey to collect.

As a Lupin fan I'm not really sure how to feel. On one hand, I'm concerned about how this will screw up continuity and other realted things but, on the other hand, I do think that this may end up being a fun special. So I guess, I'll try to think of it this way.
I also hope that this won't be dumbed down in order to please the fans of both series and that it looks more like a Lupin special than a Conan special. |

By the way, speaking of mash-ups of different anime series, here's one that made me laugh

I personally want to see how this will go down. I think it'll be an awesome attempt on both universes' parts to see how you mix and match wits (and art styles!)

I'll only be watching this because Conan Edogawa from Case Closed will be in it

Sadly, I'll be waiting for a LONG time before I can get to see this  .

I'm not a big fan of either franchise, and even I think this could be epic.
