Today, Legacy of Lupin takes a detour with a retrospective on the canceled Lupin III spinoff Lupin VIII. Taking the series into the 22nd century with a sci-fi twist, it centered on the descendant of Lupin III who acts as a detective in space. It's a premise that now seems like a completely bizarre idea, but it was also meant to be the official Western debut for Lupin. It was ultimately shelved before that could happen, with only one episode fully animated. What was the show like, why was it canned, and is it worth looking at today? Let's find out.
