The Funimation article is FIXED, but let me remind you anyway, from one of my tweets...
Here's a full breakdown of what's dubbed for the Lupin stuff here...
Part 1 was never dubbed
Part 2 only has Episodes 1-79 dubbed by Geneon, 145 & 155 by Streamline
Part 3 was never dubbed
Part 5 was dubbed by TMS
TWCFM was dubbed by Funimation

Oh, and God Mars was never dubbed too. Even I don't really know if Funimation will stream the Streamline dub stuff.

So much for the fans who prefer Part IV over all other parts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Part IV has already been on Funimation for a while.

So you and who else ?

Given part 4 is widely regarded as the weakest of the modern Lupin incarnations.

I didn't know that, thanks for the heads up.

@TexZero. How is part 4 weakest? Also I thought Funi was done with Lupin? Frankly I am annoyed that Lupin is in the hands of those corrupt people again.

By who, exactly? It's certainly better than any of the TV specials from the past decade.

Anyone else feel like this is Discotek stabbing Hi-Dive for getting the newest season, by giving NA streaming rights to Funimation for all previous Lupin the 3rd seasons.

It's just streaming rights, which aren't even exclusive to Funimation. All of the Lupin series are also on several other services, like Crunchyroll and Pluto TV. Discotek still holds the home media rights.

Lupin III Part 1 is worth watching just for the unintentionally hilarious insert song alone: Lupin the Nice Man! Wink

TMS does whatever they want and all streaming of their shows is directly through them, even for the stuff Discotek has the video license for. They could give FUNi & Sentai streaming rights for The First and GKids wouldn't do anything about it except promote their own discs.

I think what happened with Part 6 had more to do with Crunchyroll's issues (see Sony buyout) than anything else because they were a main streaming partner for a number of TMS' shows including Parts 4 & 5.
