Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe series, more parody-based than its predecessor, has referenced/satirized a number of international celebrities, such as Alan Delon, Pele, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Aristotle Onassis (to avoid legal repercussions, the names have intentionally been changed by home video distributor Geneon to Japanese romanized spellings), as well as frequently parodying 1970s American movies and TV shows.
- Crazy creditsThe first season's opening credits has Zenigata chasing Lupin's gang across a desert, accompanied by five vignettes that focus on each character:
- Lupin breaks into Fujiko's bedroom
- Jigen shoots down an airplane
- Fujiko machine-guns down a shooter behind a door
- Goemon slices a plane in half
- and Zenigata continues to chase Lupin.
- Alternate versionsA few changes were made for the US television and DVD releases. First, the episode "Hitler's Legacy" was removed from its space as episode three, to be reintroduced at a later date. (This was done to forestall potential protests about the episode, which used the Nazis as low comedy, including title character Lupin dressing up as Hitler.) Further, TMS gave Pioneer edited masters that had unspecified cuts and edits made to excise real-world corporate and product logos and copyrighted music snippets to prevent lawsuits. Pioneer has said that "Hitler's Legacy" will appear on a later DVD in the series' release: No word on whether the episode will appear on television.
- ConnectionsEdited into Rupan sansei: The shooting (2001)
Featured review
My favorite anime.
I'm not a huge fan of anime, but for some reason, I love Lupin. Ever since it premiered on Adult Swim back in January, I've gotten a huge liking for it. Plus, it's so darn entertaining!!!
The cool thing about this show is how Lupin, and company in each episode always encounter a bad guy who may have something involved with what they're after. Of course to add more trouble is the restless Interpol inspector Zenigata whose been after Lupin for 7 years. In between these factors is off the wall antics, sexual themes, and lots, and LOTS of cleavage(courtesy of Fujiko).
Overall I like the show. It's pretty appealing, and it won me over from day one. If you've never seen this show, I suggest you check it out. You may like it.
P.S. Fujiko is HOT for a cartoon!
