I see they're going for a more classic look. Nice.

hey they have to compensate for the new voice cast. Looks cool though.

A total of 228 TV episodes, and only 30 have ever been aired on national television in the U.S., with a few local stations(i.e. one here in SoCal and, I think, in Hawaii) sporadically broadcasting the series.
Not to mention the crapload of Lupin movies and specials that may get a lonely slot on some satellite channel, or have never aired outside of Japan. Is there anyway for a native English-speaking Lupin fan to legally own it? Looks great, though. Old-school style.

There are lots of Lupin movies and TV episodes legitimately released, and lots that aren't. Available in English: All 6 theatrical films: -Strange Psychokinetic Strategy (1974 live-action, subtitled only) -Mystery of Mamo (4 English dubs in total!, a few US releases, all OOP) -Castle of Cagliostro (2 English dubs, multiple US releases, supposedly OOP but easy to come by) -Legend of the Gold of Babylon (English-subtitled on VHS or LaserDisc only and very OOP) -Die, Nostradamus! (1 bilingual DVD that's OOP) -Dead or Alive (same as above) 9 TV Specials (I'll use English release names): -Voyage to Danger ('93) -Dragon of Doom ('94) -Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure ('95) -Secret of Twilight Gemini ('96) -Island of Assassins ('97) -Crisis in Tokyo ('98) -The Columbus File ('99) -Missed By a Dollar ('00) -Episode Zero: First Contact (2002, English-subbed only DVD) (All TV specials are OOP on DVD except Episode Zero.) 1 OAV (had a brief theatrical run): -The Fuma Conspiracy ('87) - Still in-print and easy to find. TV Series: -Part I / First Series / "Green Jacket": Complete English-subtitled-only release coming next year in US, includes the short Lupin III Pilot Films. -Part II / Second Series / "Red Jacket": Roughly half of the series was released on DVD w/English dubs and subtitles by Pioneer/Geneon across over a dozen individual volumes. Now all OOP, pretty hard to come by later volumes. What ISN'T legitimately available in English, or at least has not yet been licensed: -4 TV Specials 1989~1992 -TV Special 2001 (Alcatraz Connection) -8 TV specials 2003~2010 -TV Series "Part III" / "Pink Jacket" (50 episodes) -TV series "Part II" / "Red jacket" Episodes 80~155 -OVA: Return of Pycal (2001/2002?) -OVA: Green vs. Red (2009?) I think that's all we're missing, honestly. The second manga series was left unfinished in English, also, but supposedly it wasn't a hot seller anyway. |

Wish TMS would allow a legal streaming site like Crunchyroll to simulcast this.

I too would love if TMS allowed legal streaming on some of the unlicensed Lupin anime as well. Though I am still very interested how well this Lupin TV special turns out since it has three characters now being voiced by three different actors.
