The official website of the Lupin III anime series announced an anime prequel to the upcoming Lupin the IIIrd the Movie: Fujimi no Ketsuzoku anime movie and revealed a teaser visual (pictured) on Thursday. The anime, titled Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata to 2-nin no Lupin, will release on June 20 on streaming services.

Takeshi Koike (Lupin the IIIrd: Jigen Daisuke no Bohyou) is directing both anime at Telecom Animation Film. Yuuya Takahashi (Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai) is penning the scripts and James Shimoji (Hinomaruzumou) is composing the music.

Lupin III: Part 6 (Lupin the 3rd Part 6), the latest installment in the franchise, aired in 24 episodes in Fall 2021. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime in North America and simulcast it on HIDIVE with subtitles. A six-episode prequel anime titled Lupin Zero streamed exclusively on DMM TV from December 2022 to January 2023.

@Geark77 Is this one of those movies?

May 7, 2:46 AM by RobertBobert

@RobertBobert Yeah, part IV, V, and VI function as soft reboots and don't require you to watch the older stuff. Optionally, you can also try stand-alone films directed by Koike which explore Lupin’s world from different angles, usually focusing on a single character.

@Geark77 I still don't know where to start, because from what I've heard, the current Lupin is actually a soft reboot of the classic one.

@RobertBobert They do both at the same time, so it’s normal.

I'm a little confused that they stopped releasing TV series and focused on various spin-offs etc. Or is this a normal situation for this franchise?

Finally Koike gives Zenigata his own spotlight show.

I hope it can stand out well as its own thing, despite its tie-in to the Fujimi feature.

Of course the hardboiled Zenigata OVA was a thing all along, how could it possibly be otherwise.
I feel like this one will be shorter and less flashy than the other three considering the full-length movie that is coming up, but still this is amazing news.
