Oh God, am I glad this never aired!!! this is really horrible, I mean, Lupin III is just something you should NOT try to squeeze more characters out of. And the whole "Jigen the whatever" and "Fujiko the whatever" is just begging for copyrights to destroy it. With no creativity in the characters it probably wouldn't last long, although it might make a good special or short. I definitely wouldn't mind a special with this, but a series is asking for too much, don't you think?
@Kitsuneranger I'm assuming you're responding to my reply that this is from Japan. And this was animated in Japan. DiC had some input on the character designs, which were originally proposed by Monkey Punch. It's a DiC/TMS coproduction. The changes were more likely for a Western audience in general, not necessarily an exclusively American one, although DiC did release their shows in the States. "Lupin III" episodes were often edited, even on European TV. They probably wanted to avoid that here.
@BTCRAIL101FILMS Sorry for the belated reply. We really don't know what happened with the later generations of the Lupin gang. It's possible they'd never have brought it up even if the show WERE released and successful, because they hardly talk about what happened between Lupin I and Lupin III as it is.
@BTCRAIL101FILMS the number does not refer to the series, the character of Lupin the third is the grandson of a french novel character named Lupin; like in the same way you have king henry the 8th, its junior junior basically.
so when they title this, they mean to say this is the great great great great great great great grandson of the original character from the 1900s. It was his grandson for the modern Lupin, so to take him into the future they went further with the familly tree.
well, this show could have had potential if it wasn't for copyright. with the right voice acting and everything, and maybe a decent storyline it could be great. love the voice acting in this. cn't believe this didn't get one single episode though.
@sygo7g Yeah... and if you look at certain Inspector Gadgets, there's the same leg movements. But really... I HATE how Cookie Jar owns DIC now. We lost the epic "New Inspector Gadget series" that DIC promised. And I'm sure they're just sitting on everything else.
@Kitsuneranger Maurice LaMarche has been performing Gadget for quite some time. He actually did a few ADR lines for Gadget as early as the second season of the original series, as well as performing him in live action on and episode of Super Mario Super Show.. he was officially recast as Gadget before Don passed in IG's last Case and Gadget and the Gadgetinis.
Who wants to bet that Cookie Jar (the company that bought out DIC) is just sitting on Dic's controlling interest in this project? If there's one thing worse than legal complications from a co-production, it's legal complications when someone buys out a production company on top of it.
The usual copyright infringement claim by TMS. Nothing unusual. Lupin the 8th appears to be in copyright limbo, so I doubt you'll see these come down.
One wonders what the HELL Monkey Punch was smoking when he gave the rights for this monstrosity to ever be made. What the hell is wrong with Lupin's shoes?!
Hay Lupin any idea where i could get the script for this. Where did you get it

@LupintheWolf Actually, This is aimed to be for American audiences if the Tootsie Pop, Laser Sword and Laser Pistol is any indication
This is what's left of a scrapped production due to DiC can't secure the rights to the Lupin name at that time

Great voice acting as always, LupintheWolf. What happened to your Legend of the Gold of Babylon video though?
