At the end of the rerun of Lupin III: Dead or Alive on Nihon TV on April 29th, a new anime "series" of Lupin III was announced to be aired this autumn. The last TV series aired in the 1980s.

MyCom Journal and Mainichi Digital Newspaper reported the new anime but they didn't say it's a series. It's uncertain whether there will be a TV series or a special one-shot. The previous one-shot Lupin III: The Last Job aired in February 2010.

The aging of the cast has been discussed.
Zenigata: Naya Goro, 81 years old
Jigen: Kobayashi Kiyoshi, 78 years old
Fujiko: Masuyama Eiko, 75 years old
Goemon: Inoue Makio, 70 years old
Lupin III: Kurita Kanichi, 53 years old

Sounds cool! I've been meaning to watch the old series for quite a while now so I suppose I should hop to it.

I watched the Detective Conan special with Lupin III characters and liked them quite a bit.

Really cool news. I would be fine if it was either of them. I would be interested in a new series though.

Interesting. Especially the aging of the characters. IIRC Indiana Jones tried the same thing, right?

Can't answer the question but I think you're a bit confused. That's not the characters' ages it's the voice actors/actresses.

YES. I was honestly afraid 'The Last Job' was going to be the last special. Whether this is a series or a special, I'll be happy :3

their voices will never change lol

but damn 2011 has a lot of good anime already, i think its a bad idea to make a lot of good anime as folks like me cannot keep up and i cannot even give more time to reflect on a particular show because im inclined to watch a new one, so what happens is that old good anime like Madoka and Star Driver will just be a thing of the past for me :(

They're linked. After all, if the character's voice sounds old you can't expect the character to be a 10 year old right?

A new Lupin III series this Autumn... Dear 2011: Why are you being so awesome?

If I recall correctly, Lupin III mentions in different episodes/movies/whatever that his father was a thief too, so I guess being light-fingered runs in their family :)

I find this pretty epic. Let's see how it turns out, but I#m optimistic!
I probably regret this post by now.

2011 is a much better year than any I remember, then again, I've only been watching anime for 3 years, so that probably doesn't mean anything.
