| If only they'd release it on Blu-Ray, too... Oh well. That's 30 GB's I don't need on my laptop, as I definitely plan on buying it :v |
| That's already a more sensible acquisition than anything Maiden Japan decided to go for, despite it's age. Lupin is an iconic anime. I notice it's the "green jacket" series they acquired, I'm not sure about the status of the "red jacket" series (AKA Part 2 on this site), seeing as a few episodes of that were localised already It would be nice if they licensed some other old-school gems like Rose of Versailles too. They need more exposure. |

Sheepdude said: That's part 2, the one where Lupin wears a red jacket and has the famous theme composed by Yuuji Oono.Isn't Lupin already on dvd? I remember renting it from Netflix... This is the lesser-known part 1 that's being licensed. Here, Lupin wears a green jacket and a different opening is used (which basically consists of "Lupin the Third" being repeated over and over again). |

| well i need the part 2 |
| This I approve of. Wonder whether this'll follow on with licenses for any other older shows... Seems these days companies just pick up really recent stuff. I'm pretty OK with that, but it'd be nice to see some older classics get released as well. |
| Cool, this is another opportunity to add an older show to my shelve. |
| Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she. |
| Best news I've heard in a long freaking time |
| this is awesome lupin the third first series was great. cant wait to pick up a copy of this. I think lupin is still very popular in Japan but not sure about here in the US |
| sweet news is very sweet, can't wait to see it come out |
