Lupin the Third Part 2 Retrospective & Review | Legacy of Lupin
656In this episode of Legacy of Lupin, we take a look at the biggest and arguably most well-known Lupin show, Lupin the Third Part 2. Although Part 1 wasn't an immediate success, it did well enough in reruns to convince TMS to greenlight another series. This one lasted for a long while, spanning a period of three years and 155 episodes with a multitude of writers, directors, and animators on board. Part 2 is also responsible for codifying a lot of the tropes that we associate with Lupin as well as being the first Lupin show aired with an English Dub on North American TV. But does the show hold up? That's what we're here to find out. #LupinIII #LupinTheThird #LupinThe3rd
