    Part II, Ep. 1: "Lupin the Third's Gallant Appearance" (or "The Return of Lupin the 3rd")

    We've finally made it to Lupin's second TV outing. Arguably the most iconic series in the entire franchise. However, we aren't covering all 155 episodes.

We're currently in limbo between Parts I and II with a review of Strange Psychokinetic Strategy on the way. In the interim, our co-host Emma came up with a wonderful idea. Between every mainline anime series, we'll be focusing on all five members of the Lupin Gang. Chosen at random, we'll discuss how we feel about these thieving rascals (and one dogged, long-suffering inspector). We'll break down what we love about them, what we'd like to see more of, some favorite key moments, our personal headcanons, and much more! For our first episode in this very special series, we're shining the spotlight on our favorite modern-day samurai, Goemon Ishikawa!

    The Great Lupin Movie/Special/OVA Tournament!

    On April 26th, 2025, we hosted an epic battle on our Discord server. 46 movies, TV specials, and OVAs were pitted against each other with randomly generated battle brackets. Only one would emerge as the victor in THE GREAT LUPIN MOVIE/SPECIAL/OVA TOURNAMENT! We had an incredibly fun time hosting this stream with many of our listeners in attendance. Whether you're listening for the first time or reliving the historic competition, we hope you have just as much fun listening to it. Choices were made. Crash-outs were had. Comraderies were tested. Let the battle begin (again).
